Please post this information, if possible, I'm sure there are lots of  
people, like me, who would also like to know this stuff for fantasy  
leagues, etc.

Also, does anyone have any other helpful information, i.e. injuries,  
holdouts that would affect a players productivity.

On a side note, has anyone else noticed that as far as the Big 3 stats  
(points, assists, rbds) there is a marked drop from the top 5 guards - MJ,  
Drexler, Hardaway, KJ and Stockton?  Two good guards is my top priority.

Thanks in advance.

Is it Robert Parrish, the Chief, himself? Some announcer mentioning this

He has said he wants to retire when he's 32 years old.
 
Now, you don't see me reporting his early retirment like some have

Someone posted about this already.
Mahorn got into an argument with his team's management overseas.
He's leaving whether he's thinking about it or not. :-7
 
As for the subject line, I know Mahorn and the Pistons are looking into
the possibility of a reunion. I bet alot of teams are looking at Mahorn.
So, this is just a verification that he's left whatever team he was with
in Europe. BTW, the Pistons were waiting to see if he was going to be
available in April, but now they don't have to wait. BTW Mahorn is not
at Pistons training camp.

You did butcher the name...and the line-up.  Even though Williams is a
terrific player, it's awfully hard for the Cavs to go with 3 near 7 footers
for too long.  My guess is that Wilkins will start...what he does do is
cover a little for the loss of Ron Harper years ago.  When was the last time
you saw a Cav finish a fastbreak well?  This puts Craig Ehlo where the
Cavs always wanted him...on the bench.  Wilkins can probably play some small
forward too, so if you wanted a total scoring line-up: Price, Battle,
Daugherty, Wilkins & Nance wouldn't be bad.

Just to clarify, blood transfer is one of the easiest means of catching
the virus.  Only 1-2 mL of blood is needed for risk to occur.  However,
to have an equivalent risk of getting the virus from saliva, you would
need to drink approximately 1 quart of saliva, or about the same amount
of sweat.  Just something I picked up from a science class.

No offense Jerray but unless you are having sex in a vacuum there is air
present. Unless there is an airtight fit, there is air present.

AS for your statement that to get the AIDS virus you have to do one of the 
above(IV drug use, sex), that is a complete falsehood. There are numerous
cases involving breast feeding babies transmitting and receiving HIV from
the woman. There is a nurse in San Francisco who filed a lawsuit because
she contracted AIDS while taking a blood sample, the blood squirted into
her eye. People get AIDS from corneal trasnplants. In all of these 
scenarios, there is air present. 

Exposure to air will kill the AIDS virus, but not instantaneously.

Bob,
     Maybe the doctor should be treated for cuties.  I think you must educate
     yourself on how the disease is transfered.  Yes anything could happen,
     but the possibility of contracting AIDS through the doctor is a lot less
     than the odds of getting hit by a car or being shot.  Read up on the
     disease and its transmissions before you condem the man.

I had the "pleasure" of watching the home-spice in action on the boob tube
last year. I believe he was playing in either the CBA or the USBL or some
other minor league. He played well at times; he _definitely_ showed _some_
signs of offensive talent, but his D is poor. He's got good range, if I
recall he busted off several treys in a row when I saw him n action.
I think he's worthy of the NBA, although I'm dubious as to whether he'll
amount to much more than a backup/role player. He's got potential, though.
Who knows.... One thing I'll say about him is that he's got style - which
for playground players like myself means alot! I can already hear Lloyd
saying, "Just get me the rock, man."

	Absolutely.  My doctor may be treating someone that's HIV+.  Anyone's
doctor may be.  The medical community sterilizes all equipment, and uses rubber
gloves (which they change regularly) when checking patients these days.  The
chance of contracting HIV from a doctor is even less than that of contracting
it from an infected player.

From watching Peeler in (just) a couple of games playing for Missouri last 
year, here is my assessment:

Defensive skills: Average. Not great, but not a liability
either.
Outside Shooting: Horrendous! Specially since he is supposed
to be an off-guard.
Ball-handling: Definitely good for a #2 like you say. Might even
be ok for a PG. Potential here.
Passing/Assists: Average, does get selfish at times, but this
shouldn't happen in the NBA.
Rebounds: Never heard of it!
Scoring: Maybe not "Jordanesque" yet, but definite potential to
be one.
Driving/dunking: Same as scoring. Dunking skills might already
be "Jordanesque", believe it or not.
Temperament(on/off court): You've heard about it.

Called fear of having Tony Campbell as their only real SF.  They want a
backup SF.  And, I believe (though I could be wrong), that Gary Waites was
a PG type...  Looks like they probably were signed to non-guaranteed

Haha...so why did he get released by the Suns?  It wasn't much of a loss
to them.  Tucker's 3 point FG% is good, but unfortunately, his 2 point %
is only that high as well.  He's not a scoring or playmaking threat and
he's kind of old too.

Maybe I'm missing something here but what do the Celtics have to offer in 
return for Gugliotta? No matter what anyone may think of him, he's still
a top 10 pick in a really deep draft. Gamble is certainly not worth as much
and Fox isn't either (not as yet anyway) - and anyway, with Grant and 
MacLean the Bullets are quite strong at the small forward spot.

Another thing - what about Sherman Douglas? Are the Celtics going to keep
him or trade him? With Parish and McHale close to the end of their careers,
they could certainly use some help at the 4 or 5 spot and they have more
guards than they need.
