I think it is both Pitino & Wallace. I don't think Pitino is calling all the
shots. Wallace definitely has input. In order to rebuild this team you will
either have to free up cap room, which will not be an easy task with the
overpaid/underperformers we have, or Walker or Pierce will have to go. These
are our only two marketable commodities.
