RE: Wright to Lakers?

[John Lyell <Jlyell@concentric.net>]

Toronto upped its offer to Oakley to 3 year $21M too much to pass up. The 
Lakers had to move. Wright will probably not make anywhere near the impact 
Oakley would have, unless he gets a lot more consistent. The Lakers gave 
Fox a 4 or  6 year $24M contract. Again too much for a guy that has been 
inconsistent throughout his career.
I am wondering if teams like Orlando & Denver are making short term moves 
in hope of getting a shot at Duncan next year ?
