I don't think RP is even looking at signing Vin Baker, because the C's
won't be able to afford him after all. Baker will demand atleast 120 mill
dollars. Creating 12-13 mill cap-room will almost be an insurmountable
task.

I think that is coming on Monday and looks like even Fox is gone unless
they move Williams in a trade.

It's the other way round Bill, he kept Rooks on the bench and his numbers
for the 14 or so games when shaq was injured his numbers improved to 6.5
ppg and 5.4 rebounds. - Mishra
