I have to go with Caleb on this one.  I would be satisfied with a Walker &
Radja move for Baker & Allen.  We would be basically moving Walker &
unloading Dino's Salary, and gaining Baker & Allen two good young players.

1. Wesley
2.  Allen
3.  Mercer
4.  Baker
5.  Duncan


This would be a pretty impressive lineup.  But if we can get Baker in 2
years as a free agent should we wait ?
