      Caught on the Fly
      The Sporting News
      Slammin' Sammy's on fire, but Fly's headin' to the hardwood fer some other 
      slams. . . . 
      Scottie Pippen bailed on Da Bulls in the playoffs, and now he might be 
      bailin' on the Rockets -- which ain't settlin' too well with the 
      Chuckster. "Man, it threw me for a loop," Charles said about Pippi's 
      request to be traded. "I almost fell out of my chair. I felt very 
      frustrated . . . very betrayed." Which means even if Pippi stays in 
      Houston, how welcome will he be? . . . 
      Trader Rick's moves might finally be catchin' up with him, after dealin' 
      Ron Mercer to the Nuggets. Pitino sez it was a money issue -- but the 
      Spies say he conveniently forgot to mention the money issue was created by 
      overspending for Travis Knight, Antoine Walker, Walter McCarty and Chris 
      Mills, etc. . . . 
      Hey, didn't you used to be fantastic? . . . 
      Finally, the Spies say the Cavs face havin' to put a cork in vintage Shawn 
      Kemp whine: Too many young players and a rook coach top his 
      list-o-grievances.
