Good for Antoine working out w/ the best again.

I wish someday he and Paul will even switch summer workout sessions.
You know ...Magic tutoring Antoine in decision making in the "Midsummer
Nights Magic" games, and Jordan passing on postup/leverage and defenseive
tricks to Paul in those private pickup games.

Even with limited minutes, Mark Jackson would be fantastic for this years 
team.  He brings the intangible maturity, and solid plays at the end of
close games that Rodney brought.  (The captains and Kenny were usually the
the hyper type, in the last 5 minutes).  

He'd probably add 8 more easy points to Vin's scoring average next year
with the way he reads and executes post-up offense.

I even wonder if he could be hired as an  assistant.  Obrien used to be
one of his coaches (Knicks), and It couldn't hurt to have Jackson
influencing Shammond/JR.  I wish Russell and Bird would come do consulting
again also.
