totally agreed Kim.  if we move Wally for Iverson, West and Iverson 
start.  If not West and Wally start, with Telfair coming off the 
bench.

I dont' see Telfair starting -- at least not for the first half of 
the season.   Let him adjust by throwing alley-oops to Allen and 
Green on the 2nd unit!

After all, <sarcasm> "he couldn't beat out Steve Bl....." </sarcasm>

(the other) mark

that all said i hope Berry is just on vacation or something.... not 
in mournign.
