    much more likly.

    Read this Article i found.


    Cameron is 2. Already he is a Laker fan, and yells as much into the phone when Robert calls.
    Ashlyn is 7. She too appears to love the Lakers. She was born without part of her first chromosome, according to Horry. She cannot walk or eat without help, and she cannot speak. Horry couldn't recall the name of her condition, for the name is inconsequential to him.
    "It's some long name," he said.
    When he talks to Ashlyn on the phone, she holds the receiver to her ear. He tells her about his day, and about the Lakers, and how he loves her. And then he speaks to Keba, his wife, who describes Ashlyn's expressions when he spoke to her.
    If that sounds sad, it is, Horry said, "some days."
    "But you get used to it," he said. "Well, you tell yourself that, anyway."
    That is why Houston is important, and why Los Angeles can be difficult, even on the league's glamour team on potentially the greatest playoff tear in NBA history. He is not just another father missing his children, but a father who feels necessary and sometimes out of touch, away from the doctors who have treated his child since birth.
    They can't tell him what tomorrow, or even years of tomorrows, will bring for Ashlyn. What he knows is he would like to be involved, and what he wonders is how it all fits with his night job.
    "It's basically a day-to-day process," he said. "It's all about how well she adapts."



    Now thats just sad. If the Lakers have to lose Horry for nothing and have him sign with houston outright, i wouldn't care, that story is just so damn sad. But horry wouldn't do that to the Lakers.

    Maybe there's a reason it's "so far the the page". Topics have a way of floating to the top if anyone's interested. Call it magic...
