I don’t really have the time nor the energy to go through and read all these articles, but maybe you do. Y’know, if you’re a Bucks fan… or an Earl Boykins fan.
First article I saw was from The Fanhouse (since I finally figured out how to subscribe to some feeds there that actually work): http://www.aolsportsblog.com/2007/01/11/nuggets-trade-earl-boykins-to-bucks/
The Nugg Doctor has two posts about Lil Earl the Lil Pearl:

There’s the Bucks Diary for the other viewpoint: http://bucksdiary.blogspot.com/2007/01/more-on-boykins-blake-trade.html
And finally:
Fantasy Impact

Fortunately for Boykins owners, they not only received a huge bump in production with the suspensions, but will likely continue to benefit with the trade to the Bucks.

Steve Blake gives the Nuggets a true backup point guard and may be a good filler for minutes as he could play with Smith at the two or Iverson.
