Re: More Fortson trade talk

[Josh Ozersky <josh_ozersky@yahoo.com>]

This is a really great trade; the only down side of it
is the enormous six year, 23 million dollar contract
the Nuggets gave Eric Williams.  We all know how
effective he can be as a scorer off the bench, but
boy, that's a lot of money to pay a guy to do that.  I
guess this means Dana is being traded somewhere.  I
absolutely love Fortson.  With him starting at four,
we have an incredible rebounding team, and really
hardnosed guys in the frontcourt.  And Fortson can
move!  We are really going to make life difficult for
opposing defenses.  And if we sign Tony, we will
really be man-eater-uppers.  I predict a 44 win season
if this trade goes through.
