Walker for 1st round picks

[kevin.lok@lycosmail.com (Kevin Lok)]

Hi W,

Glad you have not left us.

IMO, AW is a cap killer now (so is KA). 9 mil while his teamates are
mostly on 2-5 mil per. I think Pitino is trying to get a team with
salary scale evenly spread, so that it does not affect team chemistry.
Most of the players we have are on 2-5mil per and I think that's good
for the future too, it gives us cap flexibility and
mounverability(spelling?). Unless AW performs at the franchise level
(like MJ, Duncan, Bird), I just don't see him deserve the franchise
money.

W said "We have Antoine locked up for his entire contract. We don't
have to worry about losing him through free agency".

On the other hand, if AW performs like in 98/99 season, then we are
stuck with him for his entire contract, isn't it?

Anyway, I really hope AW has a breakout year this coming season, then
we can have more value to the dollar.

Regards
Kevin

I dont understand your logic with this move. Could you please explain?

If it were Battie or Fortson with something of value, then yes, I
would do it in a
heartbeat. We have Antoine locked up for his entire contract. We don't
have to
worry about losing him through free agency, thus that part of his
value is at the
maximum.
