Re: More on the lack of size

I have to agree with Mark. We are terrible inside, but also need another
perimeter scoring threat. If Johnson, Forte or Kedrick can't provide it move
them before everyone else finds out!  We could use a Marc Jackson or Nazr
Mohammed.

I would still like to see us go after Baron Davis, he could change us like
Kidd has NewJersey. If he is going to bail at year end, and the draft is
deep in points couldn't it  make sense for them to move him say for an
Anderson and say a draft pick? then they have a pick to take a point and add
another player they have missed since Eddie Jones bailed.  Adding Davis, a
proven penetrating point guard, would open up Paul and Antoine's game
immensely.

If we could add Davis and a Jackson I would give up Johnson and next years
draft pick (15-20 range?) in a minute.
