Eisley is easily a better player than Vaughn.  The Jazz are grooming Vaughn
to succeed Stock at the point apparently, which makes Eisley available.  Not
sure of the terms of his contract, but does anyone think he might take a bit
of a hometown discount to come here?  Would we be in position to make him a
decent offer when he becomes a FA?
