Re: More Fortson trade talk

Pitino is very familiar with Eric Washington, having coached against him
while he was palying for Alabama. He's starting to come into his own and
you're right: he is a 3-point shooter; much better than Mercer.

What would be interesting to see is how Eric Williams would fit into
rotation.

<<Eric Washington is entering the second year of his two year, $1.1M
contract. He's 6'4" and 190 lbs but listed as a forward on NBA.com. 20.0
mpg, 5.4 ppg (39.7% fg, 38.1% 3fg), 2.3 rpg, 0.8 apg. I think he's a three
point specialist shooting guard. Probably he's there just to make the
salaries work out although Pitino would probably say lots of nice things
about him at the press conference.>>
