    You're telling me that if Aldridge had signed his extension that Paul Allen would not have paid to keep the team together? Seriously?

    How much over would we be with LA at the max, Wes at 15 and Rolo at 12 and maxing out Dame? I haven't seen any willingness to go that much over for over a decade.

    I didn't say we needed to. I said that's how long it's been since I've seen it. But in that decade I have seen articles talking about that not being an option however.

    It's one year of luxury tax before the cap jumps. Doubt he would care

    True and I believe those articles were all bullshit. For reason that we have discussed in the past. PA will go over the Cap if the team is worth going over the cap for. Otherwise it hurts their flexibility to get better.

    Maybe we can win the lottery on the 10 year anniversary?

    I sure hope so. And I love those dudes in the video and especially Wes. But IMO those players were not ones I would build around for deep playoff runs. Too limited (including Wes)

    For things to change so much in 12 months, it is tough not to draw the conclusion that this franchise is grossly dysfunctional.

    As much as I loathe LMA as the ringleader of this clusterfuck, I have to believe that there is blame to go around. Olshey? Stotts? The team imploded on your watch...as a fan, why should I give you a second chance?

    I am so angry right now, I can't even articulate it coherently.

    I agree. I love Wes, but he was brought in to be BRoy's back up. He exceeded expectations no doubt.
    But his handles and passing were limited. Of course his heart made up for it. I will miss him. But 15 mil per?

    Nope. I may still root for the team to succeed - but I am getting to the point that I can no longer root for the soulless mercenaries who are the individual players.

    Cool they got along. The goal is to win championships. Shit they don't even have to like eachother. Just win. Team wasn't good enough. Even our record last year was kind of misleading. We didn't beat many good teams, even with a healthy squad.
