Didn't I just say that Mills might get traded? Or was I too close to the actual
occurance to the deal occuring. For anyone who wanted to know I did NOT read
any information on the trade from any news websites to suggest trading 
Mills to New York. In fact I said I didn't want Donate Jones or Walter McCarty
because I haven't seen them play. I feel good about predicting this trade.
Anyone want to bet that DeClercq or Massenburg also gets traded or released?
Hey, might as well predict that Edney might go to. I guess this also means that
Coleman and Cunningham will get chopped off the roster. While I am on chopping
I am sticking my neck out to say that Minor might get moved before Christmas

16 players - Coleman and Cunningham = 14 players. 
14 players - 12 roster spots = 2 that will be on the injured list.

If my calculations are right that is. Any predictions who will go on the
injured list??

My bet is Brooks and John Thomas.
