    See I don't know about that. We offered the max to Hibbert and he verbally accepted it and that was just last summer. It's not like it can't happen and I suspect the new CBA will help the small market teams with 1.) Keeping their stars and 2.) Obtaining other stars.

    Technically he didn't accept it (other then verbally - which is not binding) but yes he would have so that is a start.

    The only reason why it wasn't "accepted" was both sides didn't want to bind up free-agency; so they accepted the outcome. If Indy said "We will not match" he would have been a Blazer.

    The big deal is in 2 years. If teams are in the luxury, it's 3 times the luxury amount. being 5-10 mil in the luxury could cost teams 15-30 more million. That's a big hit

    Waiting (and hoping) for a sign & trade is a bad option - do teams ever get any real value in return on S&Ts?
    Previously I was willing to wait until the Trade Deadline, but now I think we should trade him prior to Training Camp as long as a good deal comes across Olshey's desk.

    Yawn, this story is so boring already. Are we really in for another two years of this?

    Sacramento got a pretty sweet deal in the sign and trade.

    No they are friends and they are both shaking their heads at the bull shit rumor. Before that Aldridge was talking shit to Crawford about this rumor.

    Its like a big power trip for them. They are seeing how they are able to manipulate the fan base, players and management.

    The last few years Quick has shown complete frustration with everything he does. (Articles, Interviews, social media) His job has gotten to him. Some guys get burned out with dealing with fans and athletes. He needs to move on for his own good.
