Oh lurd.


That can't be true. You can't tell me there is no trade market for Rivers. Giving him away for free is better than stretching him. Hell he might even be able to sell a few tickets in Orlando with his local ties.

I will be pretty goddamned pissed at Demps if we use the stretch on Rivers.

That can't be the plan. If it was/is, it is a SHITTY plan.

That's just one of many routes the two teams could take. But NOP hasn't found taker for Rivers yet in trade talks, sources say.
If thats true. I don't know...

People aren't going to screw themselves just to screw us. Someone has to be interested in taking him for free.

That cannot be the plan.... please dear basketball goods... You can't tell me that a team Like Memphis doesn't need another guard.

Also now that I'm rationally thinking about it, that could definitely be a leak by another team in an attempt to soften the market OR it could be Demps trying to get someone to call and make some offer for AR

This.

Rivers is making $2.4m this year. That's chump change in this league.

I would rather have Rivers than an $800K hit in dead money across three seasons.


We couldn't have done something like packaged a bunch of guys for John Salomons so that we could cut him for $1m or a stretch waive of about $300K a season?

Possible, then maybe the plan would be to make people think you're gonna waive him and wait for the calls ??

So the Heat are going to be needing some bodies, any chance they may be desperate enough for bodies to take EG? you can just shake your head, you don't have to yell

FWIW Mcnamara is somewhat disputing this:

Michael McNamara ?@McNamara247 7m

@usnfish think about that first. Why would Withey be at SL and Babbitt not be?


David Fisher ?@usnfish 6m

@McNamara247 So Zach Lowe is just making stuff up?



Michael McNamara ?@McNamara247 4m

@usnfish no, even we knew they DID consider it a week ago. And did Lowe say that is what they ARE doing?
