Re: I'll throw this out there...

Earlier I had thought this would be a good trade, but I am not sure now.
Atlanta expected to do a lot with Mutombo and it never has really happened
even with the likes of Steve Smith there. They have played poorly this year.
Guys like Rider that don't play the team game do not help.
