How in the world we can get Shawn Kemp, arguably one of the top five 
(definitely  ten) players in the league without giving up the only 
value we have, i.e. Walker, Billups and Mercer. The only possible 
trade the C's could pull off is ALL three of these guys for Kemp, or 
maybe two of them plus next year's lottery pick. We all need to step 
back into reality and realize that the C's are still a lottery team. 
We only have four players that have decent trade value, (add Williams 
to the three aforementioned). But we aren't going to make any 
(significant) trades before the season.
