Would they trade Olowokandi for Walker?  Bulpett mentioned in 
pre-lockout days, that the Clippers were listening to offers for him.
What would a package of Pierce and Walker bring from the Clippers?
Olowokandi, Taylor, and a future first? Olowokandi, Rodney Rogers, and 
Skinner?  I feel Pitino's going to make a big deal, so we'll all have to 
wait for the lockout to end, to see what he's got cooking.
