RE: [Celtic_Pride] Au revoir, Poodle Boy

I guess I don't see the improvement, other than McLeod's contract is up
sooner and the first-round pick may have some value. I don't think we can
count on McLeod to contribute much this year-or at least, not much more than
we already would have gotten. If he gives us many minutes, it's at Joe
Johnson's or Kedrick Brown's expense, and I'm guessing McLeod will be pretty
comparable to those two. I guess I wasn't expecting much from Moiso, and I'm
not expecting much from McLeod. Actually, I expect McLeod to spend a lot of
time on the injured list. It's not a bad deal, but it doesn't really do much
for this season.

Hey, Mark, it's a small improvement. Maybe not as significant as what you've
been clamoring for, maybe at a position where we're overloaded, but it's a
step
in the right direction. 
As for another big man, I liked Ravi's idea of limiting McCarty's role to
rebounding, defense and "providing energy". Although I've been one of his
harshest critics, he did show at the end of the season that he can
contribute
in some areas. Athletic 6-11 guys with the energy to solve California's
power
shortage problem can be useful in basketball, even if their basketball
skills
are in the "moron" range. Now if they could just chain him to a squat rack, 
force-feed him 6 times a day, and periodically remind him that Uncle Rick's
gift is going to run out at the end of the season...
