I agree with you that Boston (RED) probably wouldn't make such a move
for similar reasons but with a slightly different twist.  If we're
talking about the same Boston that's supposedly one of the most
racially divided US cities (outside of Chicago of course), they
would loose much of their local appeal two fold: first by giving
away two members of the league's declining commodity (the WHITE player)
and second getting in return one big, black (and supposedly ugly) dude
(...who speaks with a slight accent when he speaks at all?).  Remember
the only way they took Parish was in return for the draft rights to
McHale for which they gladly gave up the draft rights to Mr. J. B. Carrol.
This of course was also a good basketball move above and beyond the
racial implications (could JBC have ever fit in the Boston's style of
play?).

The real issues are: 1) will "The Boys" get to Magic again in
the championship series???  and 2) will a powerful Texas lobby
make a decent race for rookie-of-the-year between Akeam-The Dream
(Ralph Sampson's dream come true, now I don't have to play center
any more) Olijawan and Mike-Nike (I drive a chevy, when it's raining
so my Benz won't get wet) Aire-Jordan.

Go Bulls >> destroy the Bucks???
