RE: trades

I wouldn't call Knight and McCarty junk, and with Gugliotta a FA at year 
end and Minnesota saving bucks for Marbury, they need some decent role 
players.  Others probably could have more to offer, but stranger things 
have happened.  I never heard anyone proposing Stoudamire for Stewart but 
Stoudamire would give the Kings a point, but I think they really like 
Stewart, and I don't think the salaries are even close, I think Stewart 
makes league minimum.  The Kings will lose Polynice, Rauf, Williamson at 
year end and free up about $8M of cap room even if Richmond is not gone.  I 
don't know if they can get a superstar to play there due to their history. 
 Stewart, Wahad, and Anthony Johnson are a decent , if they could get a big 
name for Richmond they could have a decent young nucleus.
