I think it depends on what, if anything, the two show in camp and preseason. For Williams, that’s a whole lotta cheddar. You better think he’ll contribute in 09-10 to pay that much. Douby will probably get picked up by default, just because it’s a small amount. I’d really watch what Petrie and Theus say about Williams over the next week, though.

There’s no MLE left, so it’d be minimum or vet’s exception players. I don’t think there’s anyone out there to use it on.

What it really does: breathing room, so you can feel comfortable if the current year incoming salaries are a bit more than outgoing.

I thought the team could appeal his salary this year to the league and have some part of it covered by insurance if he’s certified ‘unable to play’.

I disagree with pretty much everything you said in your post, but I just want to focus on a coupld of things.

First, are you really going to complain about the guy’s accent? I had a harder time understanding Peja, Vlade and Hedo. Even Jason Williams. But his ethnicity shouldn’t enter into your analysis of Garcia as a player.

Second, Cisco does a lot of things well. He has a good handle, he’s a deadly shooter when he’s on, and he can direct the team from the point when he’s bring the ball up the court. He doesn’t do anything the best, but he’s well-rounded, hasn’t had consistent minutes for a couple of years, and is still relatively young.

Third, I don’t think taking slaps at the “noobs” by which I assume you mean newbies, advances your argument in any meaningful way. This site is populated by people who are reasonably knowledgeable and/or willing to learn. Just because someone doesn’t agree with your particular take on a particular player is no reason to start in with the name calling.

Just sayin’.

and was about to comment on how horrendously unintelligent most of their comment were.

Your comment belongs over there.

For hitting your point with a hammer and then telling us who made the hammer, how much it weighs and how its the best hammer that ever wacked.

Just lemme say what I’m gonna say and let the Peanut Gallery have a moment of silence.

That’s not really how the internet works. Or life in general. If you waltz in to someone’s home and start screaming like a maniac, I think it’s well within acceptable norms for the people in that home to respond. If anything, LPA and CAB were too nice.

What gets me is the seriousness you all take yourselves with. Are you making anything off this, to spend hours on all the ways to subvert a salary cap? What’s your end in all this?

We seem to have fun. If you don’t, go to Bee’s comment section. You’ll find plenty of people to type in caps and make fun of Garcia’s accent there.

Man, the Artest Wars of 2008 really sent some people off the deep end. Poor Psychrates has never recovered.

I think a better example of hubris would be to login to a Kings fansite, call a member of the Kings – who happens to be a solid NBA player – a scrub, make fun of one of the best and most-senior general managers in the league, claim that one of our players is “good for OUR team, not so good elsewhere,” and then proceed to dump on the members of the forum for wasting their time.

You say that your posts didn’t ask for comments, but you directly address multiple questions to the forum. This site is completely centered around discussion. It’s fine to disagree with popular opinion around here, but if you just want to make incendiary remarks without being challenged to defend them, get yourself a journal.

‘Thanks For hitting your point with a hammer and then telling us who made the hammer, how much it weighs and how its the best hammer that ever wacked.’

I bow to your prescience, kneel to your anger and applaud your objectivity.

but its a little early to be hitting the bottle don’t ya think?

but you’ve got me, hook line and sinker, Psychrates.

1. You are making fun of GP. Instead of just saying that Garcia was a letdown you add “Thanks GP! always spot on.” That, my friend, is sarcasm

2. I look forward to your statistical analysis of Francisco Garcia’s deviation from the average spectacular vs. stupid play ratio of a solid player. (Now I’m being sarcastic.)

Apparently I didn’t get the sarcastic bent of your post, but no need to apologize. Now that I know that you were being sarcastic, I’m relieved that we’ve clarified that we all agree that it is, in fact, a good contract.

You do it some and not on others. It’s just irritating to read that.

I called you a bitch cuz you predicted a loss in the Olympics which I don’t give a shit about in any shape or fashion. The same Olympics which I usually just tune out. So, yes, you got me. Enjoy your victory.
