Auerbach was a smart guy who played off other owners who just wanted to have a franchise while Red just wanted to win. The only reason he got Russell is the guy with the #1 draft pick agreed to trade it for the rights to the circus to come to his town, and Red had some pull to help him.<br /><br />Hate to pile on Russell, though, as he is one of the greatest human beings to put on a uniform and deserves having the Finals MVP named in his honor. But still... Wilt on those teams would have won just as much if not more while I don't think Russell would have won more with Wilt's rosters.<br /><br />-BeezBeezbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01658710883380710469noreply@blogger.com
