    Walt, Los, and Cato (the guys we got for Pippen) combined will have better numbers than Pippen. It was a great trade.

    Yes, and it only took up 3 times as many roster spots (25% of our team) to do it.

    Walt, Los, and Cato combined averaged more points, rebounds, and assists than Alonzo Mourning and Chris Webber. Lord knows I'd rather have those 3 than a healthy Alonzo or Webber.

    The entire Clippers team outplayed Shaq last year...

    Yes, I'm glad Pippen's gone, but quantity != quality (although the Wiz is out to prove me wrong for the past 20-25 games or so)

    Let's trade for them ...

    At the next Rocket Laker game, we will hear "And now starting center for your Houston Rockets, the entire LA Clipper team."

    It was a joke but I still think it was a good trade considering he is way past his prime and overpaid. We only need one of those on our team, and he brought us two championships.

    Look at it this way...Pippen for Anderson/Taylor. With Pippen eating up all that cap room the last two years of his contract, there is no way we could keep either of these guys (Taylor wouldn't have come here), or have a run at another FA.

    roy rogers and a year of pippen's punk *ss "it's everybody elses fault" attitude for Walt, los, and cato. However, didn't we have to cut someone like willis (I don't remember)to get under the salary cap.

    Still a pretty good trade though.

    I thought we traded Willis away... ?

    At 14mill per year Pippen doesn't help a team trying to rebuild !

    Can't wait to see the Blazers in 2 years time, they will be struggling BADLY [​IMG]
