Re: Downey Gone

That was my first thought, but now I am not so sure.  I think you'd see them 
on the court together alot, and spelling each other some.  I think there 
would be high 20-30 minutes available for both of them.  Huggins went hard 
after Downey because he learned (or remembered) how important PG's are, and 
having more than one (Re: Randy's 1 and 1a instead of a 1 and a 2) is not a 
bad thing.

But even though I think that, I'd first be he'd go with AK.  Still hoping he 
stays here though.  He could own this town, but could probably own 
Mississippi or Manhattan.
