>>> Daniel Forant Sr <dforant1@nycap.rr.com> 04/29/99 11:44am >>> Tell us DeClercq is equal to Potapenko and I have some land for you to buy. <<< I think that given Cleveland's likely inability to sign Potapenko after this season, DeClerq plus a top ten pick was worth considerably more to the Cavs than Potapenko is worth to the Celtics. Again, my point was not to judge the trade as a function of Vitaly's skills versus Andrew's hustle; the point is that when our Celtics give up what will likely be the #8 pick in the draft, and the Cav's snatch up William Avery or Baron Davis while we continue to bemoan Kenny Anderson's inability to make teammates better (borrowed from a recent list thread)--then yeah, the price tag for Potapenko might be awfully steep. And I don't want to hear any more "this-is-the-weakest-draft-in-memory" crap anymore, because it won't be weak through the first ten picks. And if the leprechaun smiles on us, and we end up with one of the three lottery picks, then I'll be the first one to say that the Celtics front office really pulled one off. Until then... Finally, as for the land, I'd have a difficult time purchasing real estate from a man who made the asinine proclamation that Larry Bird was "dogmeat compared to Pitino." Ryan
