Re: WALKER TO THE BULLS?

["John Lyell" <johnlyell@hotmail.com>]

I think this would be a good move and one proposed before. Brand gives us a
real four, and with the 4 pick we have our choice of Brown(The next
Garnett? ) Griffin, Gasol, Battier, or my likely choice, Rodney White.

This would be a great move for the C's. but I would work to keep at least
one of 10 or 11 and give them Moiso instead !

At 21 we could go with Radmanovich(probably not there) Cook, Forte, Hassell,

is supposed to come down on Tuesday. We shall see.

a big if. I'd do it if it was 10,21,Walker-but thats not the rumor. I like
Antione, and given a choice I'd pick him over Elton any day. But Elton is
close in value, and could be a future all-star. So this is the question: Do
you think we can draft a ligit star with 10 or 11?
