Re: Trades ?

I agree that Mercer's showing some skills but to compare him to 
Hill is premature to say the least. Hill is almost averaging a 
triple double and Mercer seems, so far, to be a selective gunner 
and little more. Don't get me wrong - he takes great shots and 
can only be helping the team but his assist and rebound numbers 
don't even come close to emulating those of Grant's. - Danny
