scorer and Mercer is simply a terrible shooter. He simply has no range 
which pretty much makes him a liability at the 2 spot, as you can not beat 
the good teams without some outside scoring ability.  Walker can't play the 
4, so move Mercer for a 4 like Lorenzen Wright that would give us a 
physical front line.  I hope we also get one of the top 3 picks, which by 
seasons end we may be in contention so we can take a Baron Davis & move 
Anderson for a veteran shooter.
