FW: ESPN *sigh* Trade Report

[John Lyell <Jlyell@concentric.net>]

This morning David Aldridge of ESPN again mentioned this trade possibility. 
This does not make a lot of sense to me,  giving up Mercer & Knight for a 
Mashburn who is one knee injury away from being history.  He also said the 
Kings would prefer to get Eddie Jones, but the Lakers weren't sure if they 
wanted to part with him.
