Re Tom Murphy's post --

I assume that Jim Jackson makes $6 million a year, and not $2, which doesn't sound right.  Either
way, it's less than I thought.  If he makes six, Dana and Pervis would fit his money ideally.  Snap him
up and put him to work at guard.  Move Adrian to the bench, and Pierce to three.  (Personally, I 
prefer Pierce at shooting guard, but it would be great to have another bona fide scorer out there --
or would it?).  Either way, Jackson is a proven commodity, and we could always trade him for a
Nowitski-type player down the road, or better still a Greg Anthony-type player.

The problem with the team isn't the talent anyway.  Realistically, we're not going to get a
significant upgrade without a high lottery pick in a very good year.  The guys can all play,
they just don't bring it every night.  No one knows why.
