So is Mark Ingram's # going to be 21...

those things happen when numbers aren't available, like when Jabari got here, 33 wasn't avail so he took 32, only to take 33 as soon as it was avail. TP has no reason to change his number, as long as he's a saint., if we lose him to FA (lord we hope not), then i can see MI taking his number, until then, he'll be rocking 21 or 26

The point of my NBA analogy was that two superstars, who both had a long history with their numbers, decided to make the change on their own. Kobe chose to change from 8 to 24 without switching teams. LeBron chose to change from 23 to 6 when he signed with Miami. It's not like the number 23 wasn't readily available for him to take. Sometimes these players aren't as attached to "their" numbers as we think they are. I still think it comes down to a money issue. If Ingram offers enough money to Porter, then a deal will probably get made.
