I feel that Pitino is happy in Kentucky for the next few years. You've all
heard his comments about the Kentucky players being his "kids". In college,
he doesn't have to stress over multi-million dollar egos and such. I think
for him, the reward is much sweeter in the college ranks at this moment.
But, he will one day return to the NBA sidelines.

Seems like I've heard Dee Brown on the trading block for a long time. I
think his stock has dropped so much now, the Celts might only be able to
weasel a 2nd round pick for him. Dee is the Lindsay Hunter of Boston. A 6-1
SG in a PG body. Doug Collins found a way to make Hunter effective. Maybe if
Dee were playing for an up-tempo team such as Phoenix, he would florish.
