The only problem is that most other GM's in the NBA don't have much of a 
need for undersized, one-dimensional players with enormous contracts.

him along with Walker & Williams - we end up with 3 versatile forwards 
who can play either the 3 or 4. Odds are this is the end for Fox (and 
forget Van Horn) unless one ot the 3 are dealt.

dealt, not named Walker. 

Cage - this man is older than dirt so his contract can't run too much 
longer.  He gives us a durable fill in at the 4 & 5.

So much for Dino playing center here. What's next Rick?

Another reason why a trade is imminent.  Still no Center. How does Pitino 
view the Fox situation?  Has anybody heard much?

That's right, "Chuckles the Clown"!  Actually, I gained a smidgen of 
respect for the Chuckster when he humbly tooted Utah's horn after the 
Conference Finals.
