    10 years in the East. My great expertise doesn't extend that far.

    You guys failed to educate me about Sasha Pavlovic, so I went and did it myself. Before we waive him, I want to ensure that everyone knows just what we're losing. Playing 9 games at age 19 puts him in elite company.

    He ranks #92 among small forwards, better than Quenton Ross.

    Not a man here has forgotten that Pavlovic started in all 4 games of the 2007 NBA Finals.

    He matched teammate LeBron James toe-to-toe in stats.

    His name appears all over this glittering testimony to his contributions in the World Series of Basketball.

    His matchup against Michael Finley is legendary.

    His Finals were better than the Finals of 5 other players since 1991.

    In summary, Olshey made a steal. To acquire the player with the 3rd-most minutes on his Finals team would usually require giving up a LaMarcus Aldridge.

    Do we really want to throw this 10th-year diamond to the winds?
