For what they're getting for Fortson, unless a first rounder is forthcoming,
they might as well keep him. Someone here has to rebound.

Camby, when he's on the court is much better than Battie,
especially shot-blocking and weak side defending. Definitely
has much more of an impact than Bat Mouse.  McCarty is
awful.  Moiso is iffy with room for development, but right now
his best position might be small forward.
