Re: [Fwd: WALKER TO CHICAGO REPORTED!]

This is a shitty deal. Although Walker has some work to do, I don't give him
up unless I get Brand and Cory Benjamin.  Fizer could be another Barkely,
but could be a stiff at the NBA level. Is Brent Barry still there ? I want
him too.
Hawkins is too old and not worth giving up a young talent for..
