holy cow

while i was up in tahoe boarding for the day, the pistons pulled off a pheonomenal trade right before the deadline, shipping out a bunch of second rate players and getting rasheed wallace, the much-troubled but incredibly talented power forward, who had just been traded to atlanta from portland just last week. and on top of that, we get the celtics’ starting point guard, mike james, to be our backup, and by shipping out our old backup point, chucky atkins, we free up enough salary cap room to sign mehmet okur, the best turkish player in the league, this summer!

now we have ben wallace and rasheed wallace down low, rip and chauncey, and tayshaun prince at the 3. plus james, okur, the big nasty, and elden off the bench.

that joe dumars is a genius.

(now if only we could get darko out there!)
