Re: Latest Fortson Update

["John Lyell" <johnlyell@hotmail.com>]

I would the following still having interest in Fortson:

Knicks - Nothing we want
Warriors - Foyle ? Marshall ?
Sonics - Patterson & Oyedeji or Mason ?
Lakers - Nothing we want

Here is one rumor


The Desert News in Salt Lake reported today that there might be a four-way
in the works. The details were light, But it would get Fortson to Golden
State and Howard Eisley to Dallas, then use the other (unnamed) players to
compensate Boston and Utah. The paper says the deal appeared to have fallen
through, but you never know


How about a combination of Trent, Nash, or Ceballos in a package ?

Aren't Trent and Danny pretty similar players ?


Mark Coffman's recent article that says if Marshall were involved we would
be interested.

Rumor also has it that Corliss Williamson has been traded for Doug Christie.
Man couldn't we moved Fortson in a package for him ?
