Bibby's ancient. ANCIENT. I'm worried his walker would hurt LMA's knees when they run the pick and roll.
SamAmicoFSO Mike Bibby expected to join Heat, reports my pal @sam_amick. But I don't expect Bibby to be much of an improvement over Arroyo at this stage 2 minutes ago via web
Agree! Unless he knows he can sign a 2 year deal with a playoff team and get most of it back. He probably figures playing for a playoff team is worth losing a few million. He's made about $95 million during his career. He can afford to lose a few bucks. http://content.usatoday.com/sportsdata/basketball/nba/salaries/player/Mike-Bibby
The Atlanta broadcasters noted that he was let go (essentially) because he provided no direction or leadership. He had the talent, but was a train wreck on the court. Made me think.
Who gives a shit. I don't really care if he thinks he is coming to a contender, and just ends up making us happy that we never see Patty or Armon play PG again the rest of the eyar. His problem, not mine.
Sounds like the Heat are the likely destination, but I'd bet that his agent is trying to get some sort of an agreement on a longer term deal next summer.
How is it even possible under the CBA? Why in the world would the union allow him to do that? Madness, indeed.
Bingo! Player who has earned close to $100mil for his career and presumably has a little tucked away for the future. Player who has noticed the NBA headed for a near certain, likely lengthy lockout, which would wipe out much of the $6mil. Player who sees an opportunity to relocate with a team that has a shot at a ring this season. = good move by Player
Whatever the buy-out amount is, it goes on the Hawks' team salary. If Miller really walked from the entire amount he's due without any compensation from Atlanta, his old salary comes completely off their books.
IIRC, the Blazers didn't buy out Francis, they just waived him. They were stuck with his entire salary on their cap.
