RE: Eric Williams

["Kevin Robertson" <kroberts@asid.org>]

I hear what you're saying, but part of the reason Denver sucks so much is half their team is injured, including Eric. I think maybe we traded right. Mercer is still young, and I he has been projected by many draft experts to grow into more of a small forward than  a shooting guard. We also would have had to sign him and Walker within a two year period, then sign our drafts. Real tough decision, though, because I liked Williams.

Maybe trading Eric Williams wasn't such a good idea after all.
He could play good defense, when motivated, and was developing
into a legitamate scoring threat.
