    Sounds like bullshit. I think this is KP playing hard to get. Ignore them so they'll gain more interest. The fact that Milwaukee hasn't heard from us in a while, Carter talks have cooled, etc etc, I think KP is pulling back and circulating this "now we're probably just going to wait until the summer." I would expect the deal, if there is one, to happen tomorrow. 11th hour.

    can you at least wait until the actual trade deadline has passed?

    Ike was an expiring contract too, so Canzano doesn't know what he's talking about.

    I will be unhapy if we don't make a trade before the deadline, but that's mostly because I'm unconvinced that we'll be able to do much with the cap space we will have in the offseason.

    Canzano, like some people, doesn't understand this which is unfortunate.

    This would be really dissapointing.

    I had high hopes that Raef + some young talent would land us a stud SF.

    I just can't see us making a splash in FA - we NEVER DO!!! EVER!!

    Plus, what is 7-9 million going to get us this summer anyways?

    Bummer, but I have to admit I kind of expected it. We've never had very good luck with the "trading expirings for talent" thing. I remember Van Excel, and others . . . never went anywhere. I guess it's not hard too understand. Even if tough economic times, it's tought to trade an All Star away just to save money. It's bad for team moral, attendance . . . not to mention you generally end up losing more games.

    I guess I thought this year would be different b/c of the economy.

    7 to 9 million in cap space won't get us an impact player, even if one was available via free agency.

    Due to Miles contract still counting against portland, if KP doesn't use RLEC now it will be wasted.

    This summer's FA class stinks! We need to make a deal now. We won't even have enough cap space to offer a deal to Hedo in the summer. We'll have to overpay a role player like Brandon Bass. No thanks.

    I don't want to be a negative nelly, either, but the RLEC value DOES go down this summer... I agree.

    Especially with talk that the salary cap might go down. That means that our SAMLE (space above mid-level exception) goes down markedly.
