Re: Michael Holley: Walker's Agent Will Be Shocked If He's Traded

[Way Of The Ray <wayray@ix.netcom.com>]

Yes, with Juwan Howard, Michael Finley, and Antoine leading the way, you
know 
that defense was an after-thought. I'm already looking forward to
that first Boston - Toronto game, when Antoine has to cover Vince
Carter.
The two of them should combine for 70 points.

There's no mention of Walker or Pitino
settling their differences, but since they were a thousand miles apart,
that's to be expected. However for the good of the team and future trade
value, they should have things patched up during training camp. 

There's a lot of other non-Basketball sports news in circulation these
days, 
including a lot of Patriots' material, so 
something had to be left out of the Web edition.
