Re:Tinsley, Pollard for Battie, Brown

["David A Wickerham" <aw623@xxxxxxx>]

I don't get the infatuation with Tinsley... To me, he's just another Isaaiah point guard protege who can't shoot well enough or play D well enough to dent the starting lineup in Indiana.  I'm afraid he'd just slow down the progress of Banks, who does have the capability of becoming an outstanding point guard.  The Vescey seal of approval means less to me than Ray's.

However, if you do want a 3rd string point guard and a backup CF, you wouldn't have to give up Battie and Brown to make it happen.

What do you guys think about this. Gives another PG we get a another big man,
and opens up playing time at the SG/SF position with the cluster of players
there. Especially with both Pollard and Tinsley being pushed to bench, it will
solidfy our team alittle and give us more options. As well make us a little
more physical with Pollard.-Tony

TRADE ACCEPTED

Due to Indiana and Boston being over the cap, the 15% trade rule is invoked.
Indiana and Boston had to be no more than 115% plus $100,000 of the salary
given out for the trade to be accepted, which did happen here. This trade
satisfies the provisions of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
