Trade partner?

["James A. Hill" <jahill@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It is reported that MJ is going to buy the Bucks.  If you want to consider a
viable trades, consider the Bucks.  MJ is going to change things.

Sign and trade Payton for Walker?  They can pick up a new PG with #8 in the
draft, move Thomas to the 3.  MJ will want loyal guys around him.  This adds
additional value to Walker over other guys.  Do we need to add a sweetener?

A. Mason for Williams? Shorter contract for them, someone with experience to
play 4/5 for a year with Baker/Battie and put a body on Martin during the
playoffs next year.

More? Swap #20 for their 2nd round and gamble on a Lang, Badiane or Ebi.

Adding Payton to play with Baker may be the best chance for Baker to
contribute in the next couple years.  Having Payton during Pierce's next 2-3
years give this team a great foundation at 1-2.  If any guy can find K.
Brown heading up the wing or Battie under the basket, it is Payton.
