In fact, I was not really surprised at all that he was traded. First he held out, then once the season got going he made the statement to the press that he had a hard time getting "up" for the lesser teams. That was before his injury, and when I read it, I felt like he had just bought a ticket to somewhere else. I wouldn't want anyone on my team that had a motivational problem. Changing the subject, last night I was watching a Celtic-Pacer game and Cousy mentioned that there were rumors that Ralph Sampson was not happy in Houston, at least not happy in Houston with Bill Fitch. He supposedly has even said that if things didn't get better, he would like to be traded. Anybody else heard anything concerning this? -- Roger Pannell ARPA: pannell%dosadi.DEC@DECWRL.ARPA, pannell%dosadi.DEC@Purdue-Merlin.ARPA UUCP: {allegra, decvax, ucbvax}!decwrl!rhea!dosadi!pannell
