I don't recall Lorenzen ever averaging close to 20 ppg, except in college,
and if he did the hawks and the Clipper would have definitely given him the
time. The Hawks do have a lot of depth at the 4 and would love to get rid of
his salary.

Carr and Mccarty for Wright ?

  I thought he would be a much better player in the pro's than he has shown.
I am not sure he can play center against guys like Shaq, but if Camby can I
guess there is hope. He definitely can rebound.
