Re: Lesson R learned the hard way

Good game. Good series. Good season.

Good T E A M!!! Good progress!!! I LOVE this game!!!

I have "NO regrets"!!! I knew the fat lady was getting ready to
sing, but I believe in "moral victories", and game 6 WAS one!!!

I believe we'll get them next time! Would you accept free-agent
Vince Carter back, if that's what he was saying to Chris Bosh?

I think Mo is gone. There are 4 free agents on the squad, not
including Sam Mitchell. Sadly, we have NO (1st round) draft pick.

Over and above one more year of development, for our young team (and
inexperienced coaches)... lessons R learned from mistakes ... the
free agents are probably "where the improvement will come from".

Sorry Mo...but it may be time to GO. Some team NEEDS you! Sam
doesn't think he does.

Sam may leave too, but Bryan will offer him a raise (but someone else
might over-pay for "the coach of the YEAR").

I trust Bryan to pick a winner to replay him, like NCAA double-
champion, U of Florida's highly desirable "genius" Billy Donavan.

See you around draft time, or perhaps during pre-season. Everyone
have a nice May 5 "Cinco Day".
