367

Dallas gets Keith Van Horn for Calvin Booth, Alan Henderson, and cash. Interesting, but this is going to hurt for the next 2 weeks or so since Dampier is out. Our center position is going to be lacking for a bit. Not that we relied on Booth, but he did help out. Alan Henderson was having a monster rebounding streak. Well, not that great. We didn't lose any picks, and Van Horn comes off the books next year. The Bucks free up enough to re-sign Redd this off-season as well.

Houston got Mike James for Reece Gaines and two 2nd round picks, 76ers got Mashburn and Rogers for Big Dog, and the Cavs got Jiri Welsch.

Overall, not bad. The blockbuster happened (Webber) and some smaller deals as well. Van Horn will help when Dirk needs a break, and there's always the times when Van Horn and Dirk will be on the floor at the same time. Two tall guys who can shoot the 3 and hit mid range shots. The only thing that worries me is his record in the playoffs. He was run out of Philly, New Jersey, and just got traded from Milwaukee.

Also, 'Toine is going back to Boston for Payton, Michael Stewart, and Gugliotta. Funny.

And another, Baron Davis for Dale Davis and Speedy Claxton. I reported that one yesterday, but I didn't know Speedy would be involved.

Speaking of basketball, I've got my game in 4 hours. Can't wait. I'm going to light it up.
