06/06/2004: "Joe Dumars"

I spoke with a Bulls Cubs fan this morning. He said good things about Joe Dumars (after bitching about the way the Pistons walked off the court). (Hey, the Celtics did it to the Pistons, did the Pistons turn into a bunch of crybabies?) (Whatever.)

Anyway, Joe Dumars traded Grant Hill for Ben Wallace and Jerry Stackhouse. Later he traded Jerry Stackhouse for Rip Hamilton. Both Ben Wallace and Hamilton improved after they got here.

I wonder if he could pacify an Arabian countryside....
Addendum----------------------------------------------------------------
Oops
According to Jerry Green,

[Joe Dumars] reluctantly signed Hill and dispatched him to the Magic. Dumars accepted a 6-foot-9 journeyman named Ben Wallace and Chucky Atkins in exchange.
[...]
Used as partial barter to obtain Rasheed was Chucky Atkins, the other guy from the old sign-and-trade deal when Hill walked out.

Now, if we could only get the Wallaces to defend Iraqi pipelines....
