Re: my fallback trade idea

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

Gene, Gene, the trading machine, just proposed a deal that made me want
to scream. This is a bad trade that fortunately can not happen because
there's a $7 million difference in salaries. Two good Walker trades are
Antoine for Glen Robinson, and Walker and Pot for Bradley and Finley.
Those are the deals of standard from which all else shall be judged....
