	No matter who we trade for Olowakandi , the salaries have to match, 
within 115%, or 100,000.  If it's Anderson and Battie, it has to be a 
sign and trade, so  Kandi (and hopefully McGinnis, we'd never get the 
12) is making enough salary to make the trade work. I love the trade for 
what it does for our team, but I don't see any way it could help the cap 
situation by much.
	Do I have it right this time "Musty"?
