Re: I Believe Ainge Will Put Together An Offer For Kidd

["Greg Odegaard" <grodeg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Well other than the fact that we would get an all-star PG this deal should
be favored by all OB non fans seeing as how the coach killer Kidd will come
in here and get rid of OB super pronto............won't he Ray and Dan?

I mean how else could it play out?

A win win win or something like that all the way around.

Happy holidays all,
Greg
