Fred Silva

A reader emailed me this story. Apparently, Mike Wise wrote a more detailed article about Holt back in 2003. Thanks to reader TK. I'm not sure what your PtR name is so feel free to claim this one in the comments.

A great article that sheds some light on our owner's personal life. After reading this, it occurred to me that I really do not know much about the guy. He seems fairly fascinating. I'm going to see what else I can find on the guy.

Draft Express has a nice write-up on Tiago. If you haven't read it, take a look.

First of all, congrats on the win, Olf. I remember how it feels when your team wins it all. I miss it. Speaking of which, AI is going to play next year. Yeah, he's crazy, but so are ALL the Lakers and it worked for them. We just need to steal Artest's phychiatrist away. Win, win for us. Here's the thing, it's a marriage that makes sense on paper. AI needs stability and wants to play for a contender. Check and check. We need a 2 guard like Kobe needed ear plugs in Boston, (NO MEANS NO!) And AI would come dirt cheap. Let's roll the dice on this guy. He's not a number one option, but he'd be one hell of a number 4 or 5. And if we brought him off the bench, he could give us some Nate Robinsonish type energy. I'll admit, I am biased here. I like AI. I have followed him his entire career and just think it would be cool to see how he would perform on a real team, as opposed to all the crap teams he has had to deal with his entire career.

This is one of the best things I have read on ESPN.com. Treat yourself.

I'm now rooting for the Suns, but I thought it was funny that Phil and I completely agree on Nash's secret advantage; the travel.
