comment on trading 'Toine

[Mark Estepp <EsteppJM@appstate.edu>]

I don't think we will see a trade like the "Toine for Van Horn deal 
mentioned earlier unless the Celtics implode this year.

Has anyone noticed that V. Baker has been putting up some pretty good 
looking numbers?  He's doing 17 pts./8 boards/game, and shooting 48%.  AW 
is 18 pts/6 boards, and shooting 44%.  Had a deal bringing VB to the 
Celtics for AW been done, folks would probably being praising it right now.

It would be interesting to me to see how AW would perform on a team like 
the Nets, that have developed an reputation for being selfish 
underachievers.  Would AW see that as the chance to step up and have a 
leadership effect for the team, or would he just out duel Marbury for 
shots?  I doubt we will ever know....
