Why would I want to fire back?  I respect you guys.  I
just like the trade more, and am more confused than
anything else about what is going on.  There is
definitely no way that Rick Pitino is going to take
less than he possibly can for Mercer.  The guy's no
masochist.  If he is really that high on Samaki Walker
(as Riley is said to be as well) then maybe there is a
reason.  Like Alex Wang pointed out, we need a guy who
can tribute without shooting a lot, or requiring a
starter's spot.
