He is 6-10, can block shots, post up, and can give us as least 8 pts and 7 boards per game...maybe more if he works with the system. I say do whatever it takes to get him here...then KT can play the 4.

WHatever it takes... no but, I believe the Hawks will be looking to shed the two years left and 21M left on his contract. In other words, I don't think we'll have to give up too much to get him.

A Sprewell/KT for Ratliff/Glen Robinson works contract wise.

Ares why when somebody proposes SPREE in a trade you talk about , we'll get no wins? Spree mission in NY is done man the cloud has moved , so when are you?

I'm not sure what you are trying to manipulate now. I'm sure it;s something.

I have said i want Spre well out of here, i want the whole team Gone.

it aint personal with me unlike you i have no favorites, they can all go.

If you read my post it was not a big up to spree it was a dismissal to Chris Crawford.

Are you saying you would trade spreewell for Chris Crawford straight up?

the best negotiation is one after which, both sides walk away saying 'I didn't get screwed too badly...' But BOTH sides have to say it.

Ratliff at one point was a decent player--- though his injury history parallels that of Marcus Camby. He never really full recovered from his hip injury and has been a huge bust for the Hawks since being traded for Mutombo.

If we're looking for healthy citizens, Ratliff is a BAD CHOICE.

I'd be much more interested in that Kentucky center, Nazr Mohammed, though. I think he's another Aaron Williams type of blue collar player... and he's pretty big.
