I second Josh and Gene wholeheartedly.  Pierce is clearly a "3," where
his size / quickness / shooting mixture creates matchup problems for
opponents.  If he were to play the "2" on a full time basis...well, again I'll
reiterate my agreement with Josh and Gene.

I just hope that they can find a way to sign Mercer.  I would much rather
keep the nucleus intact than engage in wholesale roster overhauls every
year.  If ever a year there was not to have a draft pick, this is it. 
Someone needs to let Pitino (aka Trader Rick) know that stability is what
breeds consistency.

Josh, glad to see you agree with me on Pierce being a #3 and not a #2.
 I think the Mercer thing might work out to keep him.  He's not a
fool, is he?  To think he is worth Walker bucks?  I would make him a
nice offer contingent on his accepting an equal role with Pierce as #2
 option.  I'm hoping we concentrate on the #4 position and let the
other positions remain as is.

Cheers,  Gene
