RE: Dana

[OzerskyJA <OzerskyJA@cmog.org>]

I like Dana too, but his game really fell apart when his grandmother died,
and has never been the same since.  When you can't depend on Dana Barros
to score, you're in trouble, no matter what you're paying him.  And given
what
we were paying him, the guy was killing us, let's face it.  Also, despite
Dana's
consummate professionalism, it's not like he influenced anybody on the team.
I don't know if you can have a leader on this team not named Pierce or
Walker;
but Dana never took the onus of adult influence onto his shoulders.  I wish
him
well in Dallas.
