Re: did I read that right?

[Mister Ghost <mister_ghost@yahoo.com>]

I assume Portland would use Mercer at small forward;
Rider at shooting guard; Jackson as their backup,
and Wallace or Grant at power forward.

Before the lockout, there was some rumours concerning a
Walker for Grant trade, so perhaps Antoine would be
dealt for Wallace or Grant, and they'd use him at
small forward.  Don't worry about the salary cap.  The
C's have a lot of cap filler material that could be 
packaged to make the trade work.

In other trade news, according to ESPN, the Clippers are
interested in dealing for Terrell Brandon.  They desperately
need a point guard and they have a lot of promising
big people.  LA, therefore, might be the perfect place 
for Kenny Anderson.  Anderson for Stojko and Wright.
That might be an alright deal.
