(gasp..choke).... interesting idea.

However in basketball one great player is worth a whole lot more than a
handful of OK players  --simply because there can only be 5 guys on the
court at any one time. Robinson is an all-star and former  MVP. Of the
players you are offering in exchange, no-one on comes close.

(gasp..choke).... I beg to differ.  I say they would notice big time. Spurs
fans are salivating at the prospect of a Robinson - Duncan pair in the
front court.
