Re: Atlanta? Seattle?

I'd take it in a heartbeat, just to get rid of Anderson's big contract.  But
I don't think the Sonics would make that trade due to his contract.

I know this frees up cap room for us and I've always been a Patterson and
Williams fan.  If I could see into the future and see that O2 was going to
be great, I'd definitely do the trade.
