I'd say there's a difference between not trying to trade Kenny and trying 
not to trade Kenny.  Nothing Pitino has said gives me the impression that, 
if someone called with an offer involving Anderson, Rick would hang up.  I 
don't even think it means that Rick wouldn't include Kenny's name in making 
an offer.  All I get out of it is that he's not actively trying to get rid 
of him just for the sake of it.  Many of you will find even that hard to 
believe.  I don't think it makes a lot of difference, because there probably 
aren't any teams that want him at his salary, and he's not so bad that you'd 
dump him for nothing.
