    They had a guy who was basically one of the best pitcher in the country... and one of the best batter at the same time. Pretty impressive

    Umm... I was being facetious. I thought it was obvious. Guess not.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Yeah, I didn't get that at all--usually facetiousness is there to make fun of someone or something, but your post seemed unconnected with anything else. Unless I've missed some silly maneuvers of Olshey's to try to reduce the tax bill and you were mocking that.

    Sorry, though. Tone, internet and all that.

    Just making fun of how ridiculous or tax situation is in general. Getting the rooks to take a pay cut to save less than a million bucks is insignificant compared to all the bad contracts we have. My comment also came on the heals of KD taking $10 million less help GSW keep the band together. Hey, if KD can tale less than the max he could have gotten, why shouldn't a pair of unproven rookies do the same for the good of the team?
