if they actually did things like list all the trades that happened today all in one nice chart. Now, maybe they've done that by now, but i wont know, b/c i'm boycotting them for the rest of the week. I got an email at work that was two words: Malik Rose?!?! I feared the worst, but had to confirm it at espn.com. There were 3 or 4 articles on NBA trades. and they were all worded so awkwardly. I don't need two paragraphs on a trade. Well, a well-thought-out analysis would be ok AFTER you list the players. A and B for C, D, and E. that's it. One line. Then discuss away. This does me no good: Team 1, looking to get younger and longer, was shipping around A to anyone who would listen. Team 2 decided to take a chance, but are giving up two younger players in C and D. But along with A, team 1 will be throwing in B, who might be the steal of the trade. Player E will also be going to team 1 to balance out the contracts.

huh?
