GM dealing !

[John Lyell <Jlyell@concentric.net>]

Here is an idea if Walker won't be resigned:

1.  If Jerry West wants Travis give him Travis & Barros for Eddie Jones & 
Sam Jacobson,  Rueben Patterson &/or Mario Bennett.

2. Chances are very good due to the small market Minnesota will not resign 
Marbury with Garnett's salary..  Trade Anderson for Marbury Mchale gets a 
comparable point with less salary (in the long run) and doesn't lose him to 
FA without compensation , we get the best young point in the league.  If we 
have to move Walker instead,  do it.  Make Marbury your franchise player.

3. Move Walker for Rahim (with he or Pierce to be moved later),  Lorenzen 
Wright & draft picks,  or Vin Baker

4. Sign Michael Stewart via FA at a $3-$4m range

Imagine a lineup of:

Stewart/Declercq
Baker/(Wright)Bennett
Jones/Pierce
Mercer/Jones/Pierce/Bowen
Marbury


Nothing is impossible .  Jerry West is always looking to make his team 
better and all these deals would be equitable for both teams
