Re: vin baker

[RACE --- <race@midusa.net>]

obviously it would require a substantial trade with Milwaukee ... 
suggested a possibility down below in previous post.  Wasn't saying he 
was free agent.  Appreciate the information though.  Admittedly, all 
i've got on the Baker tradewinds rumours are winds out of new england - 
and not Wisconsin.  I looked him up on NBA.com individual statistics and 
he is a definite "Player" already. . . This gives Walker and whoever we 
decide to fill the middle (potentially a first and second round choice 
still under my scenario) to staballize the interior.  The only thing 
worse than the coaching this year is the interior defense ... look for 
our players statistics and teams statistics in comparisons to others in 
the league.  That becomes glaringly obvious.
