I saw this piece in Prosportspage.com: NBA TEAMS HAVE THREATENED TO NEVER DEAL WITH HORNETS AGAIN IF THEY TRADE BROWN TO THE LAKERS August 3 - BskBall.com reports: "A few teams threatened to never trade or deal with Charlotte again. Some offered to broker future deals, some offered to take a player off Charlotte hands for little to nothing in return." What I have to say is, could owners actually do this? If they wanted to, couldn't they do this to the lakers or the Blazers? ------------------ "There are two rules for success... 1) Never tell everything you know."
