Re: Trade

The Philly trade leads me to believe Brown isn't just blowing smoke re:
taking Billups at #2.  Start:  Billups Iverson Stackhouse Coleman Williams.
 This allows Brown to bench Iverson if he doesn't stick to the program and
also allows the two guards to play off one another, along with Stackhouse.
 Division games are going to look like wind-sprint drills.  Radja as 6th man
or projected starter @ PF if Coleman is on his way out.

So do we take Battie @ #3?  If we re-sign Wesley & Fox we have a solid
rotation with Williams & Weatherspoon both capable @ SF and Walker also
taking some minutes there along with the bulk of time @PF.  So we're left
with a Duncan-less Donuts team with Cage and Battie getting most of the time
@ C eventhough both are out of position there.  Keep Conlon & Szabo?  Go
after Knight?  See if Pervis is willing to stay on the injured list all year?

BTW, Weatherspoon has a year left on his contract.  Excellent cap move. One
down, four (Barros, Brown, Minor, Ellison) to go.
