It not only is good RP turned the deal down on its face value, as I said
earlier we don't want Anderson, at virtually any cost.  Bad, Bad idea.

Stewart of course is a FA, and does not have to sign for the 20% max, if I
understand it correctly, with Sacramento, for 2 reasons.  He was not
drafted by the Kings, and and therefore does not fall under the CBA rules
for draft picks, and the Kings will be under the cap, possibly by alot,
giving the them the room to make near any deal, with this future all-star. 


If the C's could get him, it would be a great pick-up.  Any deal to get
him, Nash and maybe Mash (sounds cool too), while not giving up Mercer,
would sound good to me.  Though again, I would like to stand pat.  The
recent reference to Cap Cancers was pretty bright.
