Does EW stick this time; as a 6th (Eric the
"Energizer") or 7th man? He does have a pretty hefty meal ticket, though,
to be coming off the bench.
Or does RP strike while the iron is still hot and
attempt to package Eric's newfound attitude, chiseled frame, and Denver picking
up $3 million of his salary to Miami (along with Pervis) to obtain RP's all-time
favorite, Mash; and immediately turn around and sign Samaki Walker with the $2
million exception slot to replace Pervis? And/or Terry Cummings with the
$1.1 million slot to keep these young pups in line for good measure?
Which would make Fortson the newest "6th Man" if Mash starts at the '3" and AW
at the "4" . . . or Mash is the newest "6th Man" as instant offense
off the bench if AW starts at the "3" and Fortson starts at the "4".
