Since there is no net.sport.basketball I decided to throw this in
net.sport.

Sixer fans should not hold their breath waiting for a championship 
just because their team picked up Moses Malone.  With Houston, 
Moses was probably the premier center in the game; however, lining 
up with Erving, B. Jones, Toney, etc., Moses will find points and 
rebounds harder to come by.  Caldwell Jones was an important player 
for the Sixers and will be sorely missed.  Chemically he was a key
team member.  I think you Rocket fans are the ones who
should be riding high.  Caldwell will play well for you and next year 
your team stands a good chance of picking up either Sampson or Ewing.  
Also, since the Rocket organization will not have to dish out the all 
that money demanded by Moses ticket prices will probably stay put or 
just rise a little.

It is amazing guys get paid so much for dribbling and shooting a
basketball.  The kind of money Moses is going to be making is just
unbelievable.  Heck, you would think this guy was the biblical Moses.....
