Re: Trades not made

["John Lyell" <johnlyell@hotmail.com>]

Due to the base year crap I don't think Antoine is going anywhere. We would
love to get Croshere for the exception or in a move for Fortson but & don't
think it will happen.

The Knicks don't have a lot they can offer anyway.
I think the Rogers deal almost went down. I can't remember what happened.

Seattle would still be a nice place for Fortson. Especially if we could get
Patterson & Mason or O2 in a package.

To Golden State in a package for Foyle and Starks or Vonteego Cummings
(playing impressive in summer league) would be nice , but I am not sure
Cowens is interested. Starks would add a much needed veteran player.


Come on guys make a move for EJ ! Can you believe this ? How many 2/3's does
Orlando need ?




Orlando also might try for a "third acquisition," said Gabriel, who did not
rule out making a trade for Charlotte swingman Eddie Jones, who met with the
Chicago Bulls on Thursday. Other possible free agents who the Magic might
pursue -- and who might be looking for a suitor when the frenzy stops -- are
Seattle`s Rashard Lewis and the Los Angeles` Clippers Maurice Taylor and
Derek Anderson.
