	Ahh... a "future" pick.  I might consider this then, since our
picks will be getting less valuable as we head deeper into the playoffs.
If Mercer has a breakout year next year (his third), we'd look really bad,
though.

	Some of us here in NJ might argue that Jayson Williams is miscast
as a center!  You may have a a point about finding a better role for
Wright, but I'm still not convinced about Taylor.  Getting the Clips #1
pick this year would be a coup.

	That's another trade I hope doesn't happen.  but, as you say, we
will quickly find out!  Later!
