Re: Getting Colon in shape

[Gregory Hurst <gh18@juno.com>]

The current centers and power forwards on our team are being paid:


Vitaly
Colon
Forston
Walker
Battie
McCarty
Ellison
Williams
Radja?

Pervis contract will come off this year, please explain why we should
replace him with an injured player with a contract.  Pervis has helded us
hostage with his contract for years and now I guess it is time to replace
him with a younger injured player to hold us hostage. Pitino please say
no!
