Bab 310: Chapter 48 Keeping Promises

```

[Before the 1985-1986 season started, I signed a two-year contract, which gave me some security.

The team acquired Terry Porter in the draft, and it would prove to be one of the most successful picks in the team's history, just like Jerome Kossie (Ah Gan didn't count; Stern would have picked Ah Gan if he were in the management.)

Then we welcomed back Bill Walton, which was an exhilarating and touching signing, as no one expected him to return after all he had been through.

His arrival brought us a sense of history, glory, and tactical richness, and of course, it also brought pressure. All of us knew that we needed to be successful this season.

Stu-Inman left his management position over the summer, and Buckwalter replaced him. It was said to be related to Walton's return. Maybe so, years later, Inman still had a good relationship with the team.
