Pip

[peter delevett <pdelevett@amcity.com>]

Houston made a mistake, especially trading him to a division rival. They
should have done whatever they could to assuage him -- Pippen is better than
all six of the guys they traded him for combined. It may be a better
down-the-road investment with young guys like Cato, but they could have won a
championship with that front line. Walt Williams, the best player in this lot,
will be a poor substitute.

The Blazers, meanwhile, should be arrested for highway robbery. Didn't give up
a single starter. You gotta think now they, and not Houston, are the smart bet
for the championship.

Have a good weekend, everybody.
