    Cat defends better. I'd get less for him in a trade. His salary is cheaper. I'm betting that the offensive output you would get from SF at 2 wouldn't be that much greater than Cats is now and it would be just as streaky.

    Just to clarify. At this point in time I still think keeping both is the best thing to do. I'll keep that postion until I conclude SF will not improve his PG play and that we can get more than we lose by trading him. I don't beleive we're there yet. I want to see SF in the same system, with the same core of players, and some consistent coaching before I right him off. I haven't seen that yet.

    Yeah.You said it!That's one of reasons for me to oppose the notion that trade Cat while move SF to the 2.

    I hate either of them traded. But I have a foreboding that JVG would push a trade move if no pictup on Rox by Feb.JVG's a newcomer here who succeed Rudy as coach,you know.With double pressure on his back He has to defend his reputation by any kind of means. I recall JVG's attitude of great delicacy towards Cat/Yao/SF judging from his words and deeds.It's diffict to describe...

    BTW,thanks for your post reply. ;)

    CAT5 is so old. It's CAT6 now. or just use fiber.

    CAT5:

    ANSI/EIA (American National Standards Institute/Electronic Industries Association) Standard 568 is one of several standards that specify "categories" (the singular is commonly referred to as "CAT")

    The two most popular specifications are CAT 3 and CAT 5. While the two cables may look identical, CAT 3 is tested to a lower set of specifications and can cause transmission errors if pushed to faster speeds. CAT 3 cabling is near-end crosstalk-certified for only a 16 MHz signal, while CAT 5 cable must pass a 100 MHz test.

    The CAT 6 specification was not yet formally approved by the EIA as of March, 2001, although products are being offered that conform to a proposed specification. A CAT 7 specification is reportedly being considered.

    For those of you who love to see CAT going to other team in return for better player. My suggestion to all the CAT haters better start subscribing for either sattelite or cable channels in order for you guys to catch up for the hype of his game.:p

    I'd like to keep Cat. I hope we can pick up a point-forward type this offseason allowing Steve and Cat to both play the wings. The obvious choice for me has been mentioned so many times, I'll refrain. But if we could get a point-forward type and a decent backup PG (MJ would do, but he really is too old), I think our 1-2-3 spots would be set.

    By the way, what ever happened to TheCat? Seems like it's been years since he last posted. Where are you, TheCat?

    He only posts in the fantasy league forums now. Probably for the same reason HeyP doesn't post anymore. What a shame too.

    Does anyone know if Mobley is really related to Darrell off of "Road Rules Campus Crawl"? There was a rumor on the BBS a couple of years ago that they were and I just wanted to know if anyone knew or not.

    Actually, TheCat, aka Poster on Crack, was banned from all of the forums except Fantasy. heypartners hiatus is self imposed, I believe.
