Re: El-Amin

[David A Wickerham <aw623@bfn.org>]

Actually, Khalid played pretty well for the Bulls.  They cut him because
he refused to go on the injured list.  I assume that kind of an atitude
doesn't go well down well with any of the NBA management teams.  I think
he might do as well as Milt or Randy.

The bigger question is, who cares?  Do you really think that Khalidd will
ever be the starting point on a championship team?  I believe that Joe
Johnson gives us the third piece of the championship puzzle.  Khalid is
not the 4th piece.  We'd be better served to identify the point guards and
centers who could put us over the top, and try to figure what it would
take to get them.
