You know what would be pretty crazy? If Frank was ordered to sit Stro for the whole season, in order to get him to not pick up the player option. Wouldn't that be somethin'.

I think he got it from Nikoloz Tskitishvili. But I think it was Michael Olowokandi who used it first.

It's painfully obvious that Frank HAS been told to make Stro's life miserable so that he does opt out. That was obviously (and rightfully so) their whole thinking when they traded for him. He does have fans, and not just because of what he does on the court, but because he's a cool dude, has a great name, incredible athletic ability, and can dunk and block with the best of them. Because he's been on garbage teams his whole career, his numbers aren't all that special. Now he gets to a team with some talent, and there's 'business & politics' involved, as well as a huge number of bigs all on one team, and only so much playing time to go around. I understand how it works, I'm not stupid. I just hoped that at some point, the fact that he has talent would overtake the need to dump his salary, and that he'd get some minutes. I guess not.
