RE: Fortson Returning and players we could target

["John Lyell" <Jlyell@concentric.net>]

How about Moving AW & VP for Mutombo and Henderson?

Battie & Williams for Stewart & Mcgrady

McCarty for Legler 
 
Barros for Whitney or Nash 



Anderson Nash/Whitney 
Pierce, Legler, Cheaney
Griffin, McGrady
Henderson Fortson Foyle ?
Mutombo, Stewart

I could live with this

Mutombo, Henderson & Fortson give us an inside presence we do not have.
Nash or Whitney good depth at point.
Pierce & Legler some outside scoring
Griffin, Mcgrady young intelligent multidimensional players.
Stewart ??????

I was just getting ready to post the same post.  I strongly agree that
Griffin needs to be in the starting line up.  There are certain players
that play better starting the game.  I think Griffin fits that mode. 
Griffin is not a instant offense type player, he is a player that will
guard the opposing teams best player, dive on the floor, rebound, and
assist.  We need this from the beginning to the end of the game.  He
compliments Pierce and Antoine well because he does not need the ball to
be effective.
