Re: Nazr, etc

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

Stith, Palacio, Herren are not going to help us and they should not be
resigned, especially to long term deals. I think Forte will see a lot of
time at the point. If it doesn't work out, then Randy Brown or another free
agent could be sought. Seeing Nazr play against Shaq last year I would take
him over VP & Battie, but we don't have room for them all along with Blount.
If we could only do a Nazr for VP swap. I would consider giving up next
years # 1, We don't need any more rookies and need some consistent veteran
role players like a David Wesley. Unfortunately Stith is on his last legs.
