Re: props to Team Pitino

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

I am not sure about this trade, we get Pack whom when healthy is a decent
point, but we already have Anderson & Brown, Hot Rod Williams ?  Is he still
playing ? ESPN had us getting a undisclosed amount of cash.

Is this Pitino's interpretation of what "the time is now" means ?

We still seem to be in the rebuilding mode unless the pick and Anderson and
others are going somewhere ?


I heard the Hawks are trying to get Lindsey Hunter for Jim Jackson.. How
about Anderson & Battie for Jackson & Alan Henderson ?

Or to Indiana for


VP
Walker/Henderson
Pierce
Jackson
Pack/Brown
