I'm with you, Joe.  V is very valuable to this team, and I would only give 
him up for a serious and immediate upgrade at center, which none of Foyle, 
Dampier or Olowokandi can provide.  All of those guys are gambles.  
Obviously Kandi has the most potential of the group, including V, but why 
take that chance?  On top of that, even in the best case scenerio, he's 
years away from being good.
