RE: trade time

[John Lyell <Jlyell@concentric.net>]

How would Phoenix use Stoudamire unless they plan to move Kidd ?  I think 
Nash will be gone, but Kidd sure can't play the 2 spot.  We actually had 
Austin in Camp last year I believe, but I believe he had already reached an 
agreement with Miami.  He has been impressive.  I have got to give Wallace 
credit for Austin, Lenard & Bruce Bowen.
