Certainly more palatable than the Walker for Mashburn stuff of last year.  
Does Battie go in this deal too?  I have to think it would take more than 
Mercer and baggage to get these two.  PJ's an upgrade on Battie, yes?  And 
Mercer hasn't proven he'll be any better than Mashburn, in my mind.  Is 
Riley desperate to ship Mash in the same way West had to ship Campbell?  Why 
is PJ always mentioned in these trades?  I'd think Riley would want to keep 
him.

Delk AND Turner?  Isn't either one of these guys enough?
