(Jabbar/Worthy, Walton/Lucas, Reed/Debushere, Parish/McHale, Olajuwan
/Thorpe etc.) to lighten the load,  especially in the paint.  No matter who
you are,  if the other team is using 2-3 Koncak's, Kites, & Laimbeer's at
you on you,  it will take its toll over the years if some additional inside
help is not there. We have seen this year alone with Dino.

Wesley definitely needs some backup.  Maybe with a trade, the Dallas pick
or the second rounder.
