The only problem is Mercer has not shown he can shoot well enough to play 
the 2 at the top level , what was he something like 10% on 3's last year, 
Pierce is a much better outside shooter.  If you don't have a 2 with 3 
point ability you are in trouble in the NBA.  Ron has not shown much range 
since Kentucky and this hurts us inside with double teaming.


Hey if Philly wants to get rid of Coleman can;t we give them knight, Barros 
& ? I think he only hs 1-2 years left and is better than any center we have 
talked about although Stewart would come much cheaper and with some good 
tutilege could become a defensive stopper.
