    Only white straight republican males can be the butt of jokes, didn't you know?

    Gotta be PC around everyone else.

    Also, RR7 I'm going to need a link for your accusation of people asking for links :ghoti:

    Why does the players not knowing where to stand on offense means there is a problem with Miller?

    True. Sergio's return would also be required to restore the great chemistry we won 54 games with, and then the return of Martell would truly be effective.

    Wasn't broke, shouldn't have "fixed" it.

    Speculation about a Miller trade?

    That is interesting. I'm not very salary cap savvy...but my understanding is that if we didn't use the space this year we basically were going to lose it. So, it was a question of adding an asset, even if it wasn't a perfect fit, or give up any chance to use the cap space.

    ...I really need to learn more about how the cap works...anyone have suggested links that are good places to go to learn?

    Could have used the cap anyway for an uneven trade - taking someone's expensive player (Say, Capt. Kirk for example) for a cheaper player (Say, Webster for example).

    I do not think they would have signed him if they did not think there is more to him than trade-bait.

    If KP hadn't brought in SOMEBODY this off season, there would have been fans jumping off bridges. S2 would have absolutely melted down.

    Those things would have happened before the season started.

    I wasn't offended at all. It was my way of saying "hmmmm..... no comment." Why did you assume offense?

    So we panic for a few months. Big deal, not like there was anything else going on. Better to go crazy in the offseason than during the actual season.
