RE: LA Times' Mark Heisler on the Cs

[John Lyell <Jlyell@concentric.net>]

He has  a good point though. As West and others with much better teams try 
to improve and land stars like Hardaway & Steve Smith, We're singing 
another mediocre journeyman like Adrian Griffin.  Maybe what they say is 
true no on wants Mercer or Anderson for what they are paid, or asking.  I 
would not expect anyone to think Mercer is worth what he wants, so Ron and 
his agent better pull their heads our of their asses before he winds up in 
Vancouver or the Clippers !
