Yep a head case for a draft bust and a midget point guard. It seems that
the Fakers couldn't get Van Exel out of LALA land fast enough. By the
way it was reported on radio in Orlando that Van Exel may not report to
Denver and that he is definitely damaged goods with some sort of a bone
on bone knee injury that may put his career in jeopardy.
The next head case they want to dump on some unknowing team is Eldon
Campbell and his 7 Mill contract. Any suckers out there!
