Re: Pack, etc.

Pack is the only player on our roster who is capable of Sam Cassell-like
performances.  I don't think we should give him away unless we come out with
a competent player in return or pick which is high enough to be of value.
His athleticism has never been questioned, only his health history.  If he
were to stay healthy this year, we could be in good shape in the backcourt
compared to the last few years at least.

I have always liked Robert Pack.
