Re: Golden State trade rumor

[JoshFarber@aol.com]

I love the sounds of this trade!!! I like Billups, but I would sure like to
see this!!!

If anyone see's anything more on this trade, please let me know!!!!

If this trade goes through, we will have Mercer, McCarty, Walker, Mashburn,
and Delk all from Kentucky!!!

Mashburn and Delk would fit in great!!!

<< Here's a posting from the warriors newsgroup.  Therer is no real source
for
 the rumored trade, but it is interesting.  The good news is that Billups,
 Minor, and Thomas seem to have trade value, at least to this jomoke.  I
assume
 that fans around the Country seem to think that Rick wants to reunite the
 Celtics.
