Wallace/Grant/Dudster

[Gregory Odegaard <grodeg@kalama.com>]

Per the post today;  The Grant contract with Portland is on hold due to =
the Dudley arbitration case.  Whitset out here in Portland states he =
will keep Dudley (talk about a lier!), more likely is that if the league =
gives them problems, they will just renounce Dudley.   The deal was the =
peak of creativity, giving the Blazers Toronto's #1 for Dudley, allowing =
the Knicks the have Dudley, along with the Bird rights. Toronto to get =
John Wallace from the Knicks.

Portland has said many times they will start Grant at 3 along side =
Rasheed Wallace at 4.  They either know more than the rest of the =
league, or feel they can rework Grant into a 3 from his more obvious 4 =
position.  Portland is adament that they will not be letting go of =
Rasheed.  At center they have Arthritis Sabonis, and the new pick., and =
possibly the Dudster.

Per the recent posts on possible last FA moves.  Check out the remaining =
players on the ESPN page.  No stars, or starters (except Rodman) are out =
there.  If Jerome Kersey could make his way onto the team, the Celtics =
will not be sorry.  He is a first rate player.
