Re: Shammond

Good thinking. I hope you and others throw more ideas out 
there with likely suitors.

It may be too big a loss of face for Memphis to dump a 
recent lotto pick and college POY that cheaply. They'd 
probably seek a first rounder to go with Shammond (and 
that might be asking too much).

But there are other guys who are further into their NBA 
careers (the Walt Williams type guys, or whatever) who 
could move under the radar without causing much local 
outrage.

Besides, can Battier even shoot threes? ;-)

How about this one. Shammond Williams & co. for Rodney 
Rogers! Jason Kidd's backup is still on the fat farm, and 
Rogers has been a flop in the Nets system. Shammond shot 
lights out against the Nets in the first meeting this 
year. It would be like a "do over", under our new owners. 
We take Rodney back and then he torches Dikembe in the 
ECF!
