Anderson to Pacers?

[Michael Gooen <callmebogie@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm torn.  On one hand, I think the Cs can do better than Tinsley and
Croshere.  I'm not sure what Tinsley brings that Omar Cook doesn't --
sure, Tinsley had a quick start last year, but where was he down the
stretch?  In the playoffs?  Can he shoot or play defense any better than
Cook?  I guess we'll get a chance to learn something about Omar during
Shaw's, especially since the trade can't happen until after Croshere's
base-year status elapses.  

As for Croshere... yeah, he's got the New England college roots and he's
been a Celtic killer, but talk about your "Tuesday-Thursday" players.  And
his contract makes Eric Williams' seem easy to swallow.  I'd much rather
give Songalia a run -- and re-sign Rogers.

On the other hand, I'm glad Kenny's being evaluated as a valuable trade
commodity rather than a cap millstone who'll simply be let go after this
year.  If Wallace is actually willing to take on a Croshere-size long-term
contract, why not aim higher?  I'd rather dangle Kenny and his luscious,
juicy expiring contract at a team that's loading up for 2003.   If things
start to get ugly enough with the Clippers, how about offering Kenny as a
lower-cost alternative to Baron Davis and Andre Miller, throw in a pick or
two and ask for Elton Brand?  After all, they have 7 or 8 other power
forwards, don't they?
