RE: Thoughts on the roller coaster

[John Lyell <Jlyell@concentric.net>]

I don't think Anderson will be around for many years.  I have heard too 
many writers discuss this.  The draft could be extremely deep in points, 
and we will never have a good shot a big man, mediocre FA's get ridiculous 
$$ for 10/7 numbers, and won't really go any where with Riley & Declercq. 
 I would move him in a minute and take my chances in the draft.  Steve 
Francis, Baron Davis, Jason Terry, Arthur Lee .  Some real good young 
talent without questionable knees & baggage.  Elton Brand could be a good 
addition also. we also need a real consistent shooter besides Paul.  Just 
imagine if we would have landed Tim Duncan !!  Maybe Pierce is a reward for 
this.
