    That's true, but if we have too much salary on the books the team isn't as valuable. It just makes sense that that will be one of the criteria moving forward. And it's another reason we aren't going to get a proven GM until the team is sold.

    No proven GM or up and comer will be interested in being in that position. And getting fired in 2yrs.

    I kind of think you underestimate the level of most of these guys' competitive nature and confidence in themselves. So many of them believe that if given the chance they would knock things out of the park by such a margin that they would survive a change in ownership. Also if they can get more money than they'd be making the next two years and build some faith in them around the league it would be better than sitting around or a TV gig... if their desire is to still be in charge of an NBA roster.

    Could be. But I think we've got that guy in Cronin. Anybody more proven is in a better situation than Cronin. At least, I can't think of anybody else in a less precarious situation who might be better...

    I absolutely love the way he is giving the side eye glance and Billups knows what is coming so he looks down.

    I decided to get this baby all revved up and ready to go!

    The Meltdowns this week should be many and miraculous in nature.

    Bring it all here! Get your meltdown while they're HOT!

    Have to say I like the pick. I also like the trade.
    This might be a lonely thread?

    There have been a couple who are not happy but I have not seen total meltdown as of yet?
    Now if they tell us he got injured in summer league we might have a problem?

    I wish someone in the presser had asked him what the thinking was there? Did they feel like only had room for one developmental guy and were pretty sure they could get Walker later? Are they opposed to stashing guys?

    You seem to be in the minority to be honest.
