Re: dallas trade from Bskball

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

My question, is it really a Dallas unprotected pick? I mean it really
should
be, considering the non-productivity of Anstey and Walker compared
to Mercer.  But are we really sure?

2nd comment: Won't the power forward position be crowded with
Battie, Anstey and Walker. Does that prompt another deal involving one
of the
power forwards? 

4 days to ground zero.....

What more could you ask for Ron Mercer, himself acquired as a Dallas lottery pick?  Dallas is like the Draft Bank of America for us, and we have revolving credit.
