Re: Chris Wallace Strikes Again

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

The question is will the likes of Haywood, Woods, Alvin Jones, Ken Johnson
upgrade us at the 5 spot enough to risk our top picks? Haywood is a question
mark, Johnson supposedly a good shot blocker, but I don't think the other
will give us anything we don't already have, which isn't much. I still think
the best deal is to go after Nazr Mohammed or moving Battie or VP in a sign
and trade. Then going after Randolph or Cisse, or Battier if available, and
either a good young floor leader another outside scoring threat, or a
defensive player like  Jefferson.
