Re: Did anybody see Up Close

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

It's going to be re-broadcast tonight at 3 AM.  I'll try to catch it and 
take notes, if I don't fall asleep.

Speaking of blockbuster trades I, Seattle getting Richmond for just
Hawkins 
-- if it happens -- is a great deal, and LA pairing Penny with Shaq and 
Bryant makes them very troublesome.

Speaking of blockbuster trades II, Jersey Red mentioned in this week's
column,
that he may have news of Celtics roster moves involving blockbuster
deals.
Hopefully, he'll actually come through next week with some good
material.
