Yeah....makes sense to me. But I'm still in an "all love all day" kind of
mood. However....the reason I'm upset about not getting Stewart is that I
think it means Pitino is going to make a trade for a center. I think he
could've lived with Stewart/Declercq/Battie for 50 games, or even just
Stewart/Battie. But we've seen Declercq, and Battie gets killed by the
bruisers in the East. I agree with Mishra that Schintzius is pure
desperation, with a dash of incompetence on the part of management. I'm
going back to sipping some wine and waiting for the trade. But I'm full of
love. Can you tell?
