But it's rudderless on the court, at least in part because Danny has 
removed what leadership we had and traded looking exclusively to talent. 
But I think leadership can develop over time, while talent can't.  EWill was 
excess baggage, sloughed off to Denver.  When he came back, his talent had 
gone up a notch, his leadership by several notches.  I don't know who might 
emerge as a leader on this team.  Davis is a candidate, for sure.  Maybe Banks.  I 
knew from day one it wouldn't be Pierce - he had taken a back seat to Walker 
quite happily in that department.  Also, he went out and bought books on 
leadership.  Uh, Paul, I don't think it's something you find in books - you find it 
in your heart and soul.  So it may be rudderless now, but who knows about next 
year?
