Re: Baker

["Jim Hill" <jahill199@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Baker will be signed for a couple month's percentage of the minimum.  The
NBA equivalent of Nickels and Dimes if he helps a team win "one" more game.

If the Knicks were to sign Baker at $14 Mil per, for three years then the
Players Union may have a case.  If they don't, it is arguable "proof" that
Baker's signing is but a "gamble" not a real players "contract".
