It won't have any impact at all, at least not on our ability. Pistons will be over the cap, but well under the tax amount. Bynum is a restricted free agent.Quote:

Don't even THINK I'm on your side here. Your pompous and arrogant attitude towards multiple posters on multiple boards overshadows your wealth of NBA knowwledge, and it has for years. It IS possible to have a disagreement with someone without belittling them in the process.Quote:

If you're saying the moon is made of cheese, I can only humor you for so long. At some point, I'm going to break off a moon rock and drop it on you.
Also, you're the last person here I'd ever accuse of being on my side. Please.
We discussed the Bynum situation earlier this week, and forgive me if I don't have the salary situation memorized a week into the season. There will be plenty of time to discuss that this season, so it seems.
And criticism for that post was warranted, I should have just left it as "how will it effect their willingness to resign bynum". I did fuck that up.
Glan vs Kstat is like Germany vs Russia in WWII.
Yes, this is still about Tay's injury.
His injury is partly caused by us not having a real back-up for him since we won the title. That's a long time people.
While it might appear Glenn has "taken stupid pills" I have to agree with him that as an organisation we have not done enough to lessen the load on our star players.
Rip finally has a quality back up, but before now he's suffered through Delfino and Mo Evans. Billups had Hunter as the back up PG, or Chucky. Ben and Sheed had guys like Soup, Dale Davis, Cato - guys on their last legs. And Tay had Dupree lol
Since winning the title we pretty much killed our depth which once again brings me back to drafting/scouting. By not finding decent players, or guys that could really fucking contribute we put more miles on our starters.
The lack of signing better players with the MLE due to poor choices or an organisation mandate just compounds the poor drafting. If you're not finding cheap quality talent in the Draft and you're not signing good quality talent with the MLE then you're pretty much screwed.
No big deal if the organisation is not making the playoffs - but when they are going to 6 or 7 games in most playoff series and making the ECF every fucking year for ages at some point in time it adds up.
Tay's injury is the extreme end of the scale of it adding up, but Sheed's lack of caring/production last season could have been brought on by all this too (and Curry being useless). Don't forget Rip's injuries. It seems like every season he suffers some kind of complaint.
Bottom line is that Tay's injury shines a light on other situations that could have partially caused this.
If people wanna bury their heads in the sand and not question the organisation and how things have been handled since the title then I don't know what to say.
I stopped reading when everyone declared they were the only one to call something that no one else saw coming.
