41-41 Forever!

Ira Winderman wrote that before one recent home game Pat Riley walked by and said in Ira's direction "No more trade rumors." Which as one would expect immediately inspired Ira to write a column calling on Riley to make some trades.

Stand Pat is right: It's only been three years (that this team has been together WITHOUT CHANGE). It takes time. Three years is not enough time. Not enough time to "plumb the depths" of this roster. To unearth each middler's winner within. To bring each hidden gem to the surface and polish it and compare it to the "Warriors." Let's stand pat until James Johnson is in his early 40's. Then! we will know whether James is a keeper. Or not.

God must have loved the middle classes he made so many of them.
