OK, letting the Ben go seems to have been a good idea

You can not suggest moving the coach without offering a replacement. I guess
you can but
it's not very helpful.

Sorry, no reason to move Sheed. He's fine right where he is.

AI will show his 'headcase' colours soon enough.

Laimbeer is lazy. Mahorn might have been a good idea.

Forget keeping Nazr interested. His accquisistion is only surpassed in
uselessness by Chicago signing B. Wallace.

Absolutly Right. And I will admit I was skeptical.

I liked Arroyo off the bench. But He was, indeed, bound to flourish
elsewhere.

No.

Yes.

Maybe. I think Delfino can be moved now.

OK.

More than just not finishing breaks. They often have trouble finishing any
kind of play.

NO Iverson. No Iverson. Iverson no.
Thanks for playing
