my fallback trade idea

["Gene Kirkpatrick" <gkir@tjc.tyler.cc.tx.us>]

the only trade idea I have, if coach decides we can't manage with
Antoine, is for Antawn Jamison.  Hear me out, now.

Jamison made a slow but fairly sure transition to small forward by
the end of the shortened season.  His fg % and ft % were good and he
is a super rebounder, good shotblocker for sf, excellent runner, and
has a great disposition.  He has the desire to be a top player.  

My biggest concern, if we let Antoine go, is plugging his rebounding
ability.  Jamison can do that well.  He hasn't the three point range,
but he will continue to improve on short jumpers and inside scoring. 
If we lose AW we will just have to find others with his "potential"
leadership.  AJ has that, too.

I would expect a draft choice in addition and I know the cap
situation isn't equal but that's for others to crunch.  I think AJ
will be a great player because he won't be satisfied with less.

That's all.  Gene
