Re: Draft, Campbell/Van Exel

Get serious ! Are you not aware of previous Nick Van Exel tirades & ref
tossing incident ?  He has been a whiner since his days at Cincinnati. 
With the way Van Exel & Campbell played in that series I don't blame them
for going to Bryant.  He is their future, Van Exel a temporary fix.
