point guard swap

["Ozersky, Joshua A" <OzerskyJA@corning.com>]

I enjoyed Tom Murphy's post, but I don't see that ever happening.  I like Mookie a lot, but he's another one man show -- although a great defender.  The Hawks love Alan Henderson and are building around him.  But the Chicago/Toronto trade has been on my mind.  It seems obvious to me that both the Toronto picks have to be involved.  Ron Mercer for the fifth pick in a weak draft just doesn't represent value.  Nor for that matter does the top pick for the fifth and Tracy McGrady, for all his supposed upside.  If we got the fifth and twelth picks out of the deal, we could draft Miller/Terry with the first, and the package the second with Dana for a nice veteran forward.  Then you would have an option if Kenny doesn't play well (and if he does, somebody to learn behind him) and the banger everyone says we need, although I don't understand exactly why.
