But the Redskins pop for $100 mil for defensive lineman,
and Manny turns down $45 mil for two years from the Dodgers.

Probably too much to ask for some owner to say, “I’m not going to have people lose their jobs just you you can make $100 million instead of $95 million.”

Why would he wear number 18???[/quote]

Think of it this way:

3- his favorite number
x
1- his position (point guard)
—
3- the number on his jersey

3- his favorite number
x
6- his new position (sixth man)
