Re: Trade idea

I wouldn't trade Toine for Malone at this late stage of Malone's career.  
All we would be doing is setting up Utah to make another run at a title.
Don't get me wrong, I like his work ethic and all, but I am bewildered at 
the fact that he seems intent on shooting the jumper when it's not 
falling.  For a player with the inside scoring ability which he has, it's 
been curiously absent thus far in the series.  I guess I must give some 
grudging credit to the Bulls for their defense, but in my biased view, 
it's more of a lack of effort to get to the blocks on Malone's part.  

AND THE OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN AWFUL!
