INCARNATE!

NOT GONNA HAPPEN.  Someone else's earlier proposal of the 3, the 6, 
Radja AND eating Charles Smith's contract makes more sense from the 
Spurs' perspective, but the only trade I would consider if I were in San 
Antonio's spurs would be the 2 and Iverson.  And Philly won't do that, 
although they probably will offer the 2 and Stackhouse (Lord help us if 
the Spurs bite at THAT one....)

How do we know?  Has anyone seen him play against real competition?  I'm 
not sure I buy the Dare comparison -- Dare, among other things, has 
really bad knees and a crappy attitude -- but the man has GOT to be a 
project.  He's a real risk.  But then again, so is Van Horn, so is 
Cato, so is Daniels, so is ANYBODY who could be there at 6.  Again, I 
will give Pitino the benefit of the doubt in re-shaping this team.
