Re: Possible 4 Way trade Now

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

Kenny's contract is really not that bad for a decent veteran point guard. I
can live with him, but would prefer a less scoring minded point, that is if
we can land another scorer like Derek Anderson or Magette.

I think he still has a house in L.A and the Clippers really can't go on the
floor with a bunch if kids that wouldn't even be out of college, but with
Sterling & Baylor you never know!
