Re: Bo Outlaw + 1st rd pick to the Suns...

I think you are being a little generous in your praise of Bo.  I like him
too but he has never averaged any of those numbers you cite except for the
25mpg.  1.7bpg and 7.7ppg were what his numbers were last season.

I have to think that Doc Rivers and company know what they are doing in this
case.  Also, he is a terrible liability from the line which limits his
effectiveness late in 4th Q when the game may won or lost there.

I think he may have been worth a phone call but I ain't disgusted.
