Re: kenny smith available

I also believe that Dee would help out, but he can also bring us a
decent player in a trade.  If Dee still wants out let him go, otherwise
he will have to work on his point guard skills again.

I know people talk about diversity and that certain players can play
multiple positions, but below is really what we have.  One point guard,
too many shooting guards and way too many useless centers.  Unfortunately
centers are hard to come by and getting just a decent center is often
adequate (which is why Dallas went after Montross) if you surround him
with good players.  Kenny would fit in nicely as a backup poing guard.
