Re: end of season trade thought

["James A. Hill" <jahill@leasingservice.com>]

Toronto wouldn't trade Carter for Walker and a #1 of ours (High teen's).
Chicago probably wouldn't trade Chandler and their #1 this year for Carter
now that they have Rose and considering Carters knee injury.  They sure
wouldn't add Crawford.  They may start 3 7'+ players next year along with
Crawford and Rose with Fizer off the bench.  Think of where they will be in
three/four years with that lineup.

I could see Chicago making a run for Rogers though as a FA.  He would add
what lost-it-all-its-a-shame Oakley was supposed to bring to the table but
didn't.

I'd do the trade if you could make it happen, though I'd prefer Curry over
Chandler.   But I think 7' footers who are projected to play the SF will
change the game as it is played today.

I just don't see Walker going anywhere unless you do a real multi-player
trade, like Dallas did.  I don't see that happening.  I'm not sure I want
that to happen.  I just hope Walker continues what he started last off
season.  His continued improvement along with Battie making the next step
are key to next year.  Plus as well as KA has played this year I wonder what
is in store for him being in the last year of his contract.  We can't sign
him for the same money, please!, but he has a couple years in him.  If we
see a trade of the starting 5 in the off season I would think it would be KA
that is moved to another team.  I don't see anything happening though.
