RE: Jersey Red Says Foreign Players Unlikely

[OzerskyJA <OzerskyJA@cmog.org>]

At this point, I guess I'm equally happy with any
name they come up with...this draft seems to be so
deep in potential, and I have sufficient faith in 
Wallace and Papile, to make me at ease with any name
they call.  There's no Keyon Dooling or Jerome Moiso
whose name I dread hearing.  If they say Pau Gobel,
I'll immediately believe all the "euro KG" reports.
If they say Joe Johnson, I'll start saying "move over
Lamar Odom."  The only guy I would be less than thrilled
with is Brendan Haywood, and even he would be a huge value
added to the Celtics.  Screw the journeymen.  Let's add
some talent, baby!  (I do have my doubts about the euro
guys, though -- Nowitzki is shining, so now every 
chainsmoking beanpole in europe is being touted as the
next Dirk.  But maybe this guy really is another Dirk.)

I've got lotto fever!

I believe Jersey Red knows quite a bit as he
talks with O'Brien and the other Pitino
appointees.
