>From all the lists I've seen this wouldn't make sense. Foyle is hanging
around at the 8 or 9 spot as far as prospects go. This makes sense to me
due to several reasons: 
	1. He is still raw (not having played ball til recently I believe)
	2. Coming from a small school.
	3. Doubts about his true intentions of really coming out.
	4. Undersize for a center.

I'm not trying to knock the guy I just want to clarify why I believe he
will be around for the Dallas pick regardless of the trade. Now if the
object is to dump a salary do you really think the Griz are willing to
take on that burden when they are virtually in the same boats as the
Celts.
