I agree also, with our 3 picks we should go big with 2 & get the best
scoring  guard or point available  with the other, depending what we do
with Day Szabo, Brickowski's money in the FA market..  If the Dallas pick
ends up before Philly, we may be able to get Duncan & Battie assuming we
land the 1st pick

extremely quick, and would be a good second round pickup.  It would be nice
if we could trade next years second rounder & something to the Knicks for
their first rounder this year, we could really load up with a Duncan,
Battie Billups or Foyle, Willoughby, Simon or Jerald Honeycutt, & Garris or
ShamGod.
