"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master— that's all."

I think that team might be good enough to contend, but as always, it would greatly depend on their injury status.

He could have also spoken to someone in Bucks management who were in Vegas to meet with Yi. But that talk could have been before Mo met with the Bucks owner and GM.
There's also a blurb about Steve Francis being a possibility for Miami
Quote:
If Williams indeed winds up in Miami and if Fisher returns to the Lakers, that will only enhance the Clippers' chances of signing Steve Francis when Francis' all-but-done Portland buyout is complete.
Francis is close with Shaq and is said to have had strong interest in the Heat and Lakers. The Clips, though, were in the lead from the start, with age (Sam Cassell at 38) and injury (Shaun Livingston) concerns at the point and Francis' close pal Cuttino Mobley as their lead recruiter.
I'd hope he was our 3rd option behind Mo and Blake though.
I'd really like to see them get this done. Mo isn't a great option, but he's a good one. And considering the current PG situation, he should be a valuable addition. I'm a bit leery about Stevie Francis, but maybe without the fat contract he'll have a reason to care again. And Shaq might be able to help him keep his head on straight.
Ira just gave an update on the Mo Williams situation. First of all he said there's a very legitimate chance he signs with Miami. Says that if Mo Williams was to sign a 3 yr deal that the money between the deal between the Bucks and Heat would be pretty much be the same. SAid who would you rather play for Wade and Shaq or Redd and Bogut. Also said that Mo spends a lot of time in Miami. Said that Riley can be extremely convincing.
He also told a really interesting story which happened today in Orlando. He said that as soon as Riley left to give Mo Williams another call that JWill walked in the complex in Orlando to talk to RIley. He said that JWill told the media that Riles has got to do what they got to do and understands the situation. JWill is feeling much better and working out for 90 minutes, 5 days a week.
Said no one looked good today in the game. Only Joel Anthony looked okay. Said the Heat don't value summer league as much as they do practice.
Mo would be a great addition to our team. A 24-year-old who put up 17 and 6 last year with pretty decent shooting percentages? I'll take that any day of the week. He gives us much-needed quickness on the perimeter and a guy who can help us right now, as well as be a building block for the future. And you figure a guy his age is going to continue to get better, especially playing with better teammates. He would fit in perfectly with us.
Hey if we can keep JWill and add Mo then go right ahead.
What would be the point of keeping JWill if we sign Mo? Why keep a backup with a valuable $9 million expiring contract? That's an asset we should use, not keep on the bench. We should be able to add another quality player with JWill's contract.
