You know this kind of speculation sure makes for an interesting read, but to
pick out one person here, and I am sure Paul M. can back me up on this,
Brian Grant is not going anywhere from Portland, PERIOD.  It has become a
mutual admiration society of the highest order.  I could pick apart any
number of the others but, speculation at best, keeps me interested for only
abo......, poofy.......

Q. What word rhymes with Ron and signifies where he's going to be
next season?

A. Gone.

But it might not be as bad as people tend to think.  Here's a list of
players Pitino will be concentrating on, in return for Mercer and other
considerations:

- PJ Brown and Jamaal Mashburn
- Marcus Camby
- Afernee Hardaway and Bo Outlaw
- Juwan Howard
- Anthony Mason
- Antonio Davis
- Vancouver's Lottery pick = Elton Brand?
- Jason Caffey and Eric Dampier
- Maurice Taylor and Lorenzen Wright; Clippers Lottery pick
- Tom Gugliotta
- Brian Grant
- Vin Baker

I would think one or two of the above will be headed to Boston for
Mercer,
if he's dealt.
