RE: Potapenko for Abdul-Wahad?!

[OzerskyJA <OzerskyJA@cmog.org>]

Interesting.  This suggests that Pitino is serious about
getting back to pressing.  It relieves us of a certain amount
of cap room.  I can see trading VP, but only if you feel that Tony Battie
and Mark Blount will suffice to defend the Alonzo Mournings 
of the world.  And it is certainly insane to also
trade a first rounder along with a starting center w/ VP's
strength, health, youth, and skills.  In sum, I think it is ridiculous,
or at least misreported.  We have to get somebody else good
in this trade for it to make sense.
