    ...just in time to lose Rubio and probably get stomped by Houston.

    Roberson hurts the team in playoffs though with his atrocious free throw shooting. See last year. He made the 3 of 21 free throws.

    Are you insinuating the NBA somehow has influence over the length of series’?

    So you don't think a team will try and sign him?. Let's check back this summer and review it then.

    I would say the team that mortgaged their future for a first round exit. By the way, we had a starter out as well.

    I don't like OKC . This is especially satisfying. Ras: For the Houston series, I'll bet the Jazz actually win a game.

    Although I am severely disappointed with our playoffs, I am excited to see a Sixers-Celtics series once again.

    I'm not sure the answer is us?

    Portland really didn't do anything to make a run, and while they finished 3rd, they overachieved.

    OKC went all in, and it failed miserably.

    No, I'm asking you to give me a list of options. Because I just don't see there being a huge market. I'm not denying he's got great talent and I have dreamed about getting him in the past, but the fact that his team is playing better without him (okay, not so much last night maybe) isn't going to be a huge draw.
    (Not forgetting he's coming off an injury that used to be a career-ender.)

    Yeah, the same guys guarded Lillard during the season when we swept OKC 4 straight.

    Wes Mathews got a 17mil contract with basically the same injury. Like I said before, we will see this summer.

    You know, we, in the NBA, plan out each playoff series. You really ought to attend one of our regular Wednesday meetings.

    It was a 4 year 70 mil contract and it was originally a little less and when Jordan backed out so it bumped up Mathews salary.I believe it was originally around 15 mil.

    I heard it was either $16 Million or $17 Million until Jordan backed out and then it went to $20 Million. Don't recall the length of the contract.
