I wouldn’t have paid him $5 million. He has some exciting moments on the court, but he is a head case. We couldn’t even trade his expiring contract last year remember? He makes boneheaded plays, is a crappy teammate and pouts like a baby. Naaaa… I wish him luck in Orlando.

Having said that we probably over paid for Maggette too, but as a straight up swap we got the better deal.

Our salary space keeps getting bigger and bigger….

But are chance to win decently this year keeps getting farther and farther…

We are crumbling again like freaking chips ahoy!

5 mil a year for at least 15 turnovers via stepping on the sideline in the corner, 15 more via fumbles due to lack of handle, 15 due to horrible, inexcuable passes that should’ve never been thrown. Hope Orlando’s not counting on him to get Howard any easy buckets. I say thank god. Athletic 3′s are a dime a dozen in this league, and can be had with the same or better skill level, at a much cheaper price.

Ben Gordon, Jamal Crawford, and Ron Artest. Anyway to pry them away from their current teams?

Wow — Mickael Pietrus has officially joined the ranks of the overpaid. Yeah, he can play some D, but unlike a good defender like Jax or Ron Artest, he doesn’t have a lot of intensity and often just looks lost. His one good offensive move is the corner 3; but he can’t create his own shot. Who needs to pay so much money for a guy like that?

Say what you want about the “French Jordan,” but I didn’t really mind a player who hit open 3′s and actually played D. When motivated (and i know, that was the problem) he is a nice player. Am I the only one who thinks the warriors should take a look at Shawn Livingston? While his injury was terrible, he has apparently looked good in limited workouts. He will be super cheap. I’d rather take a flyer on someone coming back from an acute injury than a degenerative one. Think Willis McGahee.

Hoopsworld reports it as 4 years, with no salary mentioned, but his agent is casting him as having a chance to start. Guess this takes them out of the running for Maggette and, if the 5.2M is correct, pretty much anyone else.

MP2, I loved how he traveled with no one covering him. Stepped out of bounds on a amazingly consistant basis. Ran people over for charging fouls with his robotic moves and was seemingly baffled by the call and turned the ball over in a variety of ways I have seen no other player accomplish in the 20 years I have watched NBA basketball. To quote the great Patches O’Houlihan from the movie Dodgeball, “Watching MP2 play basketball is like watching a bunch of retards try to hump a door knob.” C-Ya MP2 don’t step out off the boarding ramp catching your plane out of Oakland, dummy.
