Re: Jerry Stackhouse For Theo Ratliff

Hey Grouchy,

I'm sure Josh, Joe and Paul will reply to you in time, but just so that 
I don't have to read through a litany of trade archives, no one has said 
that you don't or can't trade small for big, have they?  They said, now 
listen here, it get's' really complicated, you don't trade a player like 
Mercer just because you need size.  Size is nothing without talent.  If 
the Spurs were willing to part with Duncan for Mercer, I don't think 
you'd get many objections.  It's just that the names that yourself and 
others have been throwing around have either been no talent stiffs, or 
over the hill, heavy contract laden fading superstars.

Otherwise, excellent points, as always.

Jim
