Re: How's chances of Jermaine coming to you

["R. Bentz Kirby" <bocelts@usit.net>]

There is no reason to get a soft player like this.  I saw him play pickup
here in Columbia after his rookie year.  The X-man was still intimidating
him.  And using him.  He just did not show the signs of aggressive play
needed to be a star.  That can not be taught.  If you could trade Battie
(sp?) for O'Neal, I would take a chance on that.  Keep Pierce and Walker.
Let someone else take the project.  If he was that good, he would be
playing in Portland.  There is a reason he is on the bench.
