Re: Fortson to be re-traded?

There still are rumors about the Lakers and Kukoc but Phil really wanted
Oakley in the off season but could not give him what he wanted, now he
could. With the rule changes Fortson needs to learn how to play physical and
stay out of foul trouble as does Vitaly, if they can, they will be
successful.
