The Raps got two first-rounders from the Nets in the Carter deal.

Of the three players they got, Mourning is gone, and you propose getting rid of Aaron and Eric Williams.

Unfortunately, these guys have basically no value. Maybe a second-rounder from a contender who could use some help up front, but that's about it.

And second-rounders aren't worth much in today's 30 team N.B.A., altho if the Raps finish with the worst record, a second-rounder could be the 31st pick.

I do like the way Villanueva and Calderon looked in the one game I saw them, and their boxscores look good in the games that I didn't see, so maybe you guys have a future.

Hard to believe, though, that at one time they had both McGrady and Carter on the same team.
