Re: TSN: Fan's View: C's Will Regret Trading Mercer

I wouldn't trade either of the 3 players/picks you mentioned for Pippen. 
#1.  Pippen without MJ isn't much, just ask the Rockets.  #2.  Pippen cost
WAY to much now and he is WAY to old.  He has seen his better days.  No my
friend, like or dislike Pitinos' trades,  No way we win in that trade
scenario.  We aren't going to the Finals this year any way.  By the time we
do, Pippen will be done.   Troy
