contract issues

Talk about your logjams -- how about when all three of these

guys have their rookie deals end at the same time. I don't

even want to think about that, esp if they all pan out like we

hope they will. Of course, by that time, Kenny, et. al. will

be off the books, as will Eric Williams and a few other guys.

We may even have a new owner. Still, if Joe Johnson turns

into another Penny Hardaway or Lamar Odom, he'll want a

max deal for sure.
