RE: FW: ESPN *sigh* Trade Report

[John Lyell <Jlyell@concentric.net>]

It would seem more reasonable.

 Richmond the star to Miami

Austin,  Knight & Mercer to Sacramento

Mashburn to Boston ?

The Celtics seem to be on the short end giving up two young guys with a lot 
of potential for Mash ?

With Austin filling the center role in Sacramento , Knight the 4, Owens & 
Williamson(if resigned ) the 3, Wahad & Mercer the 2,    Stewart would be a 
perfect fit with the Celtics.  Go get Brent Barry, Ceballos and/or Sura for 
Brown or McCarty and


Stewart
Walker
Mashburn (Ceballos)
Barry (Sura)
Billups



Definitely a team with a lot better scoring potential.


Hey I may be dreaming,  but anything can happen at the deadline with 
players who could be lost with no return.

Replace Mash with Gugliotta for Knight & Mercer and a draft pick would be 
acceptable also !
