A journeyman?  Are you sure what that term means?  Fox has played on 1 =
team in his NBA career...Boston.  Also, I disagree with losing this guy. =
 He is a solid veteran (14ppg, 6rpg, 4apg) who is old enough to lead by =
example and young enough to relate to the rookies who everyone is =
counting on to resurrect the team.  Keep Fox.

As for Rick Fox, let's hope he leaves soon!  I can't recall ever seeing =
a
professional basketball player not be able to hit an 18 foot jumper, =
while
open.  He never hits them either!  Also, he can't make good decisions on =

the break, never converts on 3-on-2's, and he cannot finish on the break
either.  He is also a journeyman and is very limited offensively.  There =
is
a reason why the Celtics cannot unload Fox.  Granted, he is vastly =
overpaid
for being an average player, but no one wants him anyway.  Defensively,=20
which supposedly was his claim to fame in North Carolina and led to his
pick in the 1st round as a draft choice, he is slightly average.  He is =
too
heavy to keep up with quicker small forwards, and too short for power=20
forwards.  He's a classic "tweener"...what is he...a small forward?  Not =
at
230 pounds.  Is he a power forward?  Not at 6'7''.  Is he a shooting =
guard?
Can't hit an outside shot and he can't handle the ball.  Where does that
put him?  On the bench usually.
