I never said size = talent. That's ridiculous. I did say that I doubted 
Golden State would trade a 6'10 PF straight up for a 6'2 PG. such trades 
do happen, (e.g. Bryant for Divac) but rarely (Milwaukee made Cleveland 
throw in Hill with Brandon in exchange for Baker). And I said that given 
the choice between a starting backcourt of, say, Barros & Brown, or one 
of players Billups & Minor's size, I would go for the bigger guards, all 
other things being equal.
