our offense was fine all year, and then game 3 in cleveland happened. that was when we turned off the gas and started playing at half speed. i guess you could somehow blame that entirely on ben, but i dont see how.

He's just jealous of Ben. Kstat made 50% of his FT's in middle school and is angry that Ben's gets paid millions to do worse.Quote:

Ben's far too easy to exploit on the offensive end. It's becoming a bigger problem NOW, because the NBA is gearing everythign more and more towards offense.
FUCK!!!!
FUCKQ!!!!!!!
You must have cared if you're trying to hide that you already had it in for Ben from the jump. And yes your bitching about Wallace salary has less to do with wallace being greedy and more to do with you hate ben wallace for his offense. You said yourself that you you've never held value to defense since way back when you played school bball.Quote:

well, fuck. i dont even know what to say. i dont want to see lets blow the fucker up... but lets blow this fucker up. sheed needs to go. rip, billups, hell even prince is possible.
next year's draft is great. we have to tank.
next year's FA class is great. we have to clear salary.
thats where we're at now.
Too bad we'll have no cap space.
It's quite possible to clear salary, if we're willing to dump good players for expirings and mid-2007 picks.
We already have the Orlando pick coming, so it's in our best interests to help another East team move past them.
Sheed + Dice to NY for Frye, Nate (or Collins) + Jalen works under the cap.
We also don't wanna deal with Billups next off-season so dealing him is probably a smart thing to do.
Mihm + McKie and the Lakers 2007 first works for Billups straight up.
2006-07 Roster:
Przybilla (full MLE - unfortunately this looks like it's happening)
Frye
Prince
Rip
Nate (LMMFAO)
Mihm
Maxiell
Jalen
Delfino
Hunter
Davis
Amir
Acker
Blalock
McKie (could be waived if we felt the need)
Expiring deals: Jalen, Mihm, McKie, Davis
Free Agents we might want to keep: Amir, Acker, Blalock (possibly)
2007 Draft picks: First Rounders: Orlando, LA Lakers, our own
Team Salary: $33,064,901*
* that's without counting Amir, Acker, Blalock and our 3 firsts.
Holding the rights to Amir, Acker and Blalock is extremely cheap and the picks would cost us less than $5,000,000.
At the most we'd have $40,000,000 in committed salary.
The expected salary cap? $54,000,000+
So, we'd have Max cap space to add to this group:
C: Przybilla
F: Frye/Maxiell
F: Prince
G: Hamilton/Delfino
G: Nate/Hunter
The picks could make a huge difference to that team, too.
With 3 picks we could draft a PG, SF and a C.
In free agency we could either save the money so we can extend our young guys down the road or spend it on an impact player.
BTW, I did this scenario in about 5 minutes, so don't go hating on me for the complete and utter destruction of the team.
