Re: Wolves game

["Simon Kean" <simon@jkean.freeserve.co.uk>]

My vote goes to trading Pierce with Battie/Pots/Pitino's first born, to the
Mavs for Finley. Finley is exercising his out clause in his contract at year
end, and it is in doubt whether he'll re-sign with the team. Offensively,
Finley and Pierce have a similar game, with Finley showing he can give up
the ball when he has to. Defensively, however, Finley wins hands down always
picking up the oppositions' best SG or SF.

Doubt the Mavs would go for it unless they are mighty desperate though. For
the record....I've not been the greatest of Pierce's fans. I prefer
Antoine's game, when he's prepared to give up the ball. Something about
psuedo point-forwards I like (ie; Mason).

Just a random thought on a dreary London afternoon.

Simon
