Re: A Fool and His Lottery Picks Are Soon Parted

I fully agree we should not do any trades right now. No major trades
(or any cosmetic changes) is going to help improve the team. I hated
that rumoured offer of Eric Williams+denver's pick+Utah's pick for
Mike Bibby, because even with Bibby here, it wouldn't add any
significant wins, Besides there's the question of "where do you find
minutes for brown/anderson/herren?" If we are so hot for Bibby (or
Shareef or whoever), we should wait til draft time. We would have alot
more flexibility with the 3 no.1 picks + Pierce + Walker.
