    most of us are familiar with this info, there is a chance that we could fight it, and if we can tie it up in court, maybe we can use the money before he comes onto the books.

    Problem is Memphis isn't going to the playoffs, so they can probably make it look like they want him by playing him a bit more closer to the end of the season if he lasts that long.

    F*^$ Chris Wallace.

    Memphis is a crap organization at this point. Play Miles two minutes of garbage in a blow-out? For what?

    Well, we have to pay him no matter what. It's just a question of whether the money we pay him counts against the salary cap or not. It counts against Paul's wallet for sure.

    Well Chris Wallace did trade Joe Johnson for Tony Delk and Rodney Rogers.. and traded for Vin Baker when he was sliding quickly. And traded Pau for nothing, so obviously the guy knows what he's doing.

    The official "The Memphis Grizzlies are dirty bitches" thread

    Box Score from tonight's game:

    Memphis
    Bench Min FG 3Pt FT +/- Off Reb Ast TO Stl BS BA PF Pts
    D. Miles 1:46 0-0 0-0 0-0 +1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

    Yeah. That's worth the Vet's Minimum for the entire rest of the season!

    Paul Allen should corner David Stern in a back room and threaten to beat the shit out of him and Chris Wallace for this obvious sabotage.

    All the more reason to hate the Grizzlies. They're obviously still bitter about the BOnzi Wells/Wes Person trade!

    Re: The official "The Memphis Grizzlies are dirty bitches" thread

    Here's the more interesting question for me...

    Since we're all pretty sure Heisley and Wallace aren't smart enough to come up with this on their own, do you think someone's giving them stuff in the back room/under the table, or someone planted the idea (Miles' agent?) and they're doing it for free?

    Re: The official "The Memphis Grizzlies are dirty bitches" thread

    i don't see why it matters. what would we have been using the cap space in summer 2009 for anyway? giving a huge contract to marion?

    our best opportunities for a major upgrade would have always been via trade or sign/trade anyway. not a big deal.

    Re: The official "The Memphis Grizzlies are dirty bitches" thread

    Cap space can also be used in trades. If Pritchard doesn't find a good deal by the trade deadline, the Blazers can let LaFrentz expire and, by virtue of being under the cap, engineer a salary-unbalanced trade, where they take back much more salary then they send.

    Miles would cut into the trade flexibility. It may not matter, but it could.
