Spoken like a true Lawyer!

You could say we'd have been better off just waiting with Mercer, and he'd 
be looking at Fortson Money ($4m) right now.  Of course it would have been 
difficult to unload him for even the 1st rounder that we got, but we did 
have to take Eric's really awful contract.  It's hard to say who won in all 
of this, if anyone.  One thing I'm becoming more and more convinced of, 
though, is that Paul M was the only one who had this right from the 
beginning.  Fortson is a tenacious rebounder, no doubt, but he is too short 
and slow to play good enough defense to help this team.  Rebounding is 
great, but at the expense of defense, on an already weak defensive team, it 
just doesn't help.
