Re: Uncomfirmed ESPN Trade Rumor From The Seattle ESPN Message Board

["John Lyell" <johnlyell@hotmail.com>]

Seems like the teams out West , Lakers, Blazers, & Sonics seem to like to
compete and "steal" a player the other has rumored to have interest in like
Fortson, Kukoc.

I 'm a not sure about Patterson. At times he has looked real explosive, but
not real consistent. he is very athletic and would be a nice 3.  Stepania is
an interesting specimen. Somewhat like a young Vlade Divac, even Nowitski,
although not as polished. He can shoot the 3 but real thin. I see him having
the same problems as Travis knight & good old Stojko

I am not sure how this deal would fit with the cap.

Fortson, Barros & Ellison's salaries are much more than Patterson &
Stepania. Could someone else be involved ?
