RE: Micheal Stewart

[John Lyell <Jlyell@concentric.net>]

I would rather take a shot with Stewart than an Elden Campbell & his huge 
contract.  Rumor has Charlotte signing Coleman for about $6-7M a year and 
Philly landing Geiger for $50M + multi year deal. The Lakers are still 
showing interest in Coleman or Pippen in a multi-player deal.
