Fw: My thoughts on the trade...

["Troy Hash" <troyhash@xxxxxxx>]

I agree.  Upside on this one is far greater than downside.  Davis, headcase
yes, talent? Bigger Yes!!  Battie is IR bait, Brown we can't wait on any
longer.  Williams a good team leader but marginal talent at best.  In my
opinion, we get the 2 best players in the deal.  Definantly the 2 players
with the biggest upside.  Mihm could be very good in the right situation.
With Raef hurt & Battie gone, he should get lots of minutes here.  IMO,
major, major coup for DA!!!!   Troy
