    Guys what do you think it would take for Cuban and Co. to part with Gary Trent?? This guy is a warrior(well other than his injuries) and would solve our power forward needs as I don't see Webber coming here next year. You think a Carlos Rogers and draft pick would do it?

    This guy played 11 games all of last year, and hasn't played one this year. I don't think it'd take too much to get him considering his injuries. Trent has talent but he never is healthy, so I wouldn't exactly count on him as the answer of your needs. You can't count on him for much of anything considering the injuries.

    Speaking of guys we may be able to get

    How about either Harrington or Bender out of Indiana. Bender in particular only gets about 11 minutes per game and seems to be getting less and less PT as the year goes on. Maybe it wouldnt take so much to pry him away now, or does Indiana management still view him as "the future."

    Hed be a project but may turn out in the longrun, if we didnt have to give away too much talent.

    Honestly . ..

    I'm not looking for another PF
    esp not another 'PF for the FUTURE'
    we got to that are very able.

    Trent is oft injured. .. if we wanted
    that we would have kept Massenburg
    and his 82 game hang nail injury

    Bender - I've heard alot . . Seen little
    Othella is my fella but honest KY is Othella
    only shorter but with more range.

    Well I must agree with you on the oft-injured part but I would be VERY surprised to see him miss any more games this year once he gets off the injured list. In preseason I was saying to myself "man he looks like he is in his best shape of his career" and that very game he pulls his groin. Anyhow this guy is a LOAD down low and I would rather have him for 60 games than Mo Taylor for 82.
