I believe Calipari would like to get rid of both Gatling & Williams, could
we give them Williams, Ellison, & Brown or Barros for Gatling & Williams ?
I doubt it.

I don't think Grant is worth even $4m, we screamed about Dino and he had a
better all around game then Grant.  I hate the idea of giving these
unproven guys like Knight & Grant these big long term contracts, that is
what got us into the mess we are in.
