dump Baker?

["Thomas Murphy" <tfmiii@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sign me up for a Baker for Sprewell swap, it would be a godsend. Not only
addition by subtraction - Sprewell plays tough D and can be a fastbreak all
by himself.

Just be aware that Spree's contract does not end in '04, it just has a
player option that year. Of course one never knows what Spree will do but I
would guess he takes the $14.625 mil for 2004-05 rather than opt for FA.
That would mean Spree's contract would end the same year as Walker's (June
'05) - one year before Baker's.
