My first thoughts are that the Hawks have more talent than the Celtics and
still suck. I'm not sure that Mutombo and Henderson alone help the team win
more games. Mutombo, Henderson and Jackson? Now that's more like it. How
old is Dikembe? How old is Henderson? I've seen the Hawks play a few times
this year and to be frank, Henderson's game seems to have taken a step
backwards, but maybe those were just bad games. How's his health?

Oh.....for the love of God...why the hell not!!!! It would at least be a
different way of losing.

Well...that was upbeat! If I had a choice between making Mark's proposed
trade and getting rid of Ricky at the end of this year, I take the latter.
If there's any chance that he might leave, they work on that instead.
