We did need a roster spot if we were going to sign a free agent.


Then cut him right before you send in a signed contract for a better SF. At that point, we owe him nothing.

His roster spot = Salmons' roster spot, so it absolutely was Casspi v. Salmons.

No, his roster spot was the roster spot of a $2.7 million exception. In hindsight it's easy to say "you shouldn't have signed Salmons(Stiemsa)", it's a lot harder to say you should have kept Casspi, left the exception money on the table and not tried to improve the SF spot anymore.

Salmons has looked better, certainly better than Miller. If we're judging with hindsight then the proper course would have been keep Casspi and choose Salmons over Miller.
