Sure, Caleb, but that was in college.  I think what we're all concerned 
about is winning in the NBA (which, incidentally, Manning hasn't done 
much of).  However, I think we're being a little too pessmistic here.  
If -- excuse me, WHEN -- the C's get Duncan, they won't be a one man 
team.  They'll have Walker, Williams and Radja to complement him 
offensively, plus the proceeds from another lottery pick (whether traded 
or spent).  One hopes they will also have a real live coach.  
Considering how many close games they've lost to good teams this year, 
if everything breaks right in the offseason we could be looking at a 
1979-80 like renaissance.
