    The Pistons plan to buy out Oberto’s deal and make him a free agent. The San Antonio Spurs sent Oberto to the Bucks as part of a four-player trade for Richard Jefferson(notes) earlier on Tuesday.

    Soooo.... what's the math behind this being better than buying out Amir? Also, they just threw Amir away?

    Yeah, I think their salaries are pretty similar?? Unless Oberto's already agreed to a super cheap buyout??

    I'm reppin' Jesus Christ and Conservative views....



    Quick piece by VINNY which was a logo style of his. VINNY also did two letter throw up's by the name of FI 2.



    GO WHITE!

    I believe Oberto's contract isn't guaranteed. The Pistons can release him and save a chunk of cap space.

    I kinda wish we could keep him, but we need the cap space more.

    I think an extra 3.6 million off the books means we're over $20 million in cap space.

    If Kwame doesn't come back, it would be an absurd amount of space. We'd be able to sign THREE major free agents.

    Whatev, I don't think Amir has what it takes... He has a lot of talent but lacks explosion in his leaping (the height on his jumps is good, but the acceleration off the ground isn't great). He also lacks the mentality, apparently... I'm okay with this.

    Unfortunately, Joe hinted that he expects Kwame back. Still, $20 million is big. He must have swung this with something in mind. Maybe he has a few things lined up already.
