Just having a little fun but I've always thought of him as a good worker on the court. On a serious note, the two upcoming games against the Bulls are gonna be trouble. They've been a hard team for us to beat anyway and this year, they are playing better.

One of the all-time great trades = Othella, Frank, Deke and Cezary for JYD and Craw. P.S. Craw was the throw-in.

Othella is a great bench player. One of the league's hard workers and good guys. NOT a guy you want as your starting PF or a guy you want to include #1 picks to aquire. Good old Scotty

just to refresh my memory cause im' doubting myself on that... was it really 3 draft picks sent to vancouver (not sure) to get him ?

does any1 actually know what number those picks ended ?

If I recall, that pick could have pulled in Tony Parker that year. Layden liked Parker and was surprised when he dropped to that slot (24 I believe) and tried to trade back into the first round. The deal was Erick Strickland and the # 1 acquired from Seatle (not sure if it was originally Seatle's pick though) in the Ewing deal for Othello. Othello is a nice backup player...know what he's doing and can score a little but if we just would have stood pat we could have had Parker, Artest (instead of Frenchy C) and Stoudamire, along with Camby. Makes you cringe on what could have been.

Glad to see Othella doing well. He always came play... worked hard for us and seemed like a good guy.

I wish him continued success, AFTER the home and home.
