 like they have gone nuts down in Hotlanta.  Maybe Kasten has been
 hanging out with Rick Pitino too much.

One of those picks is Toronto's and it's lottery protected until the Raptors 
make the playoffs - so it may never be available.  That pick was traded to 
NY, Philadelphia, Atlanta, and now the Clippers.  lt'll probably get traded a 
few more times in the new millenium.  l happen to think he is worth 2 picks 
(to a team that can spare them) but l also think that the Hawks are a very 
bad fit and will expect him to be something he's not.  I'd have loved to have 
him to share the 5 spot with VP but we neither had a $4.4 million salary to 
offer him nor could we afford to package 2 picks unless someone thinks that 
Kenny and Wayne are a long term solution.
