Re: More Walker

["Cecil Wright" <cecil@hfx.andara.com>]

Thank you Simon.  Though I have been known to wish for more consistency in
areas of his game, I ain't quite willing to trade him for a couple boxes of
kraft dinner.

And thank you also for calling it by its' proper name, the "Bird Exemption."
What's with this Bird Exception stuff?  I've even seen some of the Globe's
finest using that.

understand the mentality of these people who want to give up on this guy.
Fine he wants a big contract. I think the league will take care of this
problem for us. He wont get Garnett type money under the new CBA. The NBA
have come to play in regards to the Bird exemption. He will still get big
money, but wont bust our cap situation, and he'll be worth every penny in my
eyes.

give up my boy Antoine for anything less than an all-star caliber player
(which none of the Clippers are), there is something  wrong with the world.
