Re: Walker & 11 for Van Horn & 1?

[Jim Hill <jahill@leasingservice.com>]

LA has said it didn't think it could resign  (I think it's over $14M per
year) Shaq in a couple years.
I thought of T-Mac as well.  Hill could be the leader until Peirce was ready
though, as well as instant credibilty in the league for other FA.

I wonder if Hill's commercial made him and Larry friends?  Hill would
increase the sales value of the team.  Would Larry be more likely to push to
buy sooner vs later.  Gaston could always claim to have put together the
foundation of the next Championship team.  That would be fair payback for
Larry dishing Gaston in public.
