    The Blazers seem too nice. No drama, no crazy on the team. Lets offer MWP our remaining cap space!

    Not signing MWP would be our best offseason transaction yet!

    Re: Lakes amnesty Metta World Peace

    Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS - Per league rules, teams with room under the cap can put in a waiver claim to pick up a portion of World Peace's salary. Highest bid wins.

    Not in this case, but you KNOW someone will take a chance and snap him up. And, I won't feel the least bit sorry for them. They know EXACTLY what they are getting.

    In this case, the league should let the highest bidder force the team of their choice to take him. I bet the bids would top $10 million and the proceeds could be donated to charity.

    Re: Lakes amnesty Metta World Peace

    This creates the cap room for them to sign Ron Artest. Smart move IMO

    OT: Ron Artest Doesn't Want to Play in the NBA... Eyeing Football

    Yeah, Ron Artest, not Metta World Peace... I'm tired of that shit already... says he doesn't want to play in the NBA next season.

    Anyway, his two purported options now are the CBA (Chinese Basketball Association) and Arena League Football.
