    I don't see any reason for us giving up picks. We are basically doing them a favor by taking on extra salary. If they get anything from us it's money. And we should get a pick or two for our time. Hopefully we can get something for these two scrubs. Miller might go to Miami since they love his ass.

    The Mike Miller of a couple years ago would have been awesome, great 3pt shooter and rebounder, but looking at his numbers from last year, it looks like he's officially "old" and has fallen off a cliff.

    Exactly. That is what I'm hoping they can do very quickly.

    They both had non-guaranteed contracts, so I don't know if we really saved them money. I think they did get some cap space and a trade exception.

    If both players are cut, we owe them absolutely no money. It cost us nothing

    They want the flexibility of the TE for both players. They are so far over the cap, they can't offer shit to anyone. But a TE could be used to obtain a 9 mil and 2.8 mil player (separetly)

    I think there is still interest from playoff teams. You trade him right away if you can but if teams want to just wait until you waive him, you keep him at a low salary and then trade him later.

    Yeah, we might keep one of them. You never know if they might have trade value later on.

    I like how Mike Rice acts like an insider on Twitter as if he isn't just reading the same guys we do.

    They wanted to create trade exceptions.

    They get trade exceptions for them this way. So they can trade for another player (without sending anyone out) up to a year from now even though they are over the cap.
