Re: In the USA Today, well... today (fwd)



IF this is true.  I can kinda understand it. They do have many guards, but
none of them are great 3 point shooters.  Here are some numbers:

Iverson		16-55	.291
Stackhouse	10-34	.294
Jackson		 9-29	.321
Tim Thomas	 7-15	.461

So, he would be great playing with the 2nd unit like John Starks.  Also,
I could see him getting a lot of open shots playing with Iverson.  Iverson
is good as anyone when breaking down defenses.

Also, I really don't think that $3 Mil is steep for Kerr (now).  He is an
excellent role player that does much more than just shoot the 3 for the 
Bulls.  I think that he is a really good TEAM defensive player and gives
you 110% every night.

What I would like to know is for whom they would trade for Barros.
