Re: Herald piece

I would much rather have Johnson than O'Neal so I really hope if the Blazers
decide to pull the deal when they see we can get DerMarr, Pitino pulls out.

That would really suck if we got someone we really wanted (Alexander,
Johnson, Pryzbilla, Crawford), and then traded them away to the Blazers of
something like that.

I really hope that doesn't happen.

I think the Herald article is either a Pitino smokescreen, or misinformation
by the Herald.  I thought Stevenson came in for a 2nd workout too!  The
Herald article doesn't say anything about that!

Well are your thoughts?
