The guy is a pretty sorry sportswriter. I don't know if he's stupid, or
if he thinks everyone else is. Why would anyone in his right mind would
want to make a trade like that for an unreliable malcontent like Ellis? 
And that's not taking into account his age and status after this year.

Jackson is a less-talented version of Billups. Now, what I would have
liked to see in the draft is for the #3 and #5 picks to switch draft
positions. Perhaps it's still not too late - that's a trade I could live
with, to say the least.
