Re: Pierce, si

The LA papers had this also this morning and they wanted a first rounder
also !  They also mentioned Rahim & Bibby.

I would do Kobe for Walker in a minute.

Kobe and Pierce are two big crunch time weapons.




What is Paul'scontract status? The C's should step up at the end of the year
and offer him a big contract now if they can. If they don't he could go back
to LA when his deal is done which would be a nightmare.
