plus the only guy everyone wants in the package is gibson. he's the
only guy on the team who can keep teams from collapsing on lebron
driving to the hoop (not that that is particularly effective from
keeping lebron from scoring, but lebron will always make the unselfish
play and pass off to the open man).
at the end of this season, i'd expect ferry to be working the phone 16
hours a day if not more so working to bring in a stud who will
complement lebron's play.
