RE: Derrick Coleman Will Soon Be Available

[John Lyell <Jlyell@concentric.net>]

I would go for Coleman.  Although he never has been what he could have been 
he did not have a bad year last year & ate up the C's in a couple of games. 
 Reminds me a lot of Brian Williams.  I don't know if he could handle 
Pitino's rigorous routine but although not a true center he has not played 
too poorly there. I think he only has a year left why don't we trade 
Pervis, Knight & Minor ?
