Gatling is a scorer off the bench, and at 6'10, he can hit the three and
still fill in at C and PF.  He's also a strong rebounder who looks like he
would be a good fit in place of Fortson. The only downside is he has been
moved a lot in the past few years.  I seem to remember he had some
problems in NJ last year. The other plus is his contract runs out in 01.

We had Derrick Strong who was a mediocre player on a mediocre bench.  He
will never be anything other than mediocre and I would hate to see us tied
up with his salary until '03
