Red Auerbach has informed everyone from Charles Bradley to Charles Kuralt that this is his last year. The one and only eneral manager in the 38-year history of basketball's proudest franchise plans to be home in Washington, "Only a phone call away if I'm needed," when the Celtics open their 1984-85 season. We know better. Auerbach's presence will be felt by the Celtics as long as he's blowing smoke somewhere.
