Fw: CB is improving but still lacks it...

["Jaime" <jaims@philonline.com.ph>]

About who's being the most marketable, I was only reffering to the big
contract players of the team and Billups.  I wasn't talking about all the
players of the team.  Brown, Barros, Ellison, Minor and Billups are the
commodities that could be traded, that's what I just think.  Billups will
always be the plus factor/ best perk if the org is to manifest a trade,
that's all what I'm saying here.  And that's why I am only saying that I
feel sorry for Billups coz he's in a business situation and he can't do
anything about it.  If plays well, he may be kept by the team.  If he plays
well, he may get traded anyways.  He's trapped in the business world of the
NBA...and that's all that I'm saying here,Cecil.
