Anybody want to debate the merits of a trade like this:

76ers trade McKie (my favorite 76er) and MacCullough (after Oct. 8th trade restriction) for Theo Ratliff, the oft injured, occasionally maligned but perfect 76er style center.

When you factor the Motombo piece, it kind of ends up Mckie for Van Horn.

Atlanta needs a selfless ballhandling 2/1 desparately and Ratliff has never given them time. The old 76ers 2nd and 3rd team centers Mac and Mohammed , become Atlanta's center combo. They will do all right.

The 76ers, as you all remember, were about the greatest defensive team ever the first half of 2000-2001 season., and Ratliff played at an all-star level on both ends.Love to have him back, healthy, but rusty.
