Re: thoughts on walker and general responses

What about Bruce Bowen?  I think he has shown that he is one of the best 
defenders in the league.  I also think that DeClercq, though he is rough 
around the edges, brings a hustling, all-out style that we haven't seen 
since Cowens.  Kenny Anderson, prior to sustaining his injury, ran an 
offense which was dormant before he arrived.  Even Pervis and Minor have 
made contributions this year.

It is constantly stated that this team is only a few players away from 
playoffs.  A defensive Center who is an intimidator and rebounder and a 
scorer who can hit from the outside.  I believe that if Popeye Jones 
makes a successful return, he will alleviate alot of the rebounding 
woes.  I think we should make a move for Rex Chapman.
