...that we are going to make several moves over the All-Star break and not one of them will make us a better team on the court. All moves will be to shed salary. Valuable players like Salmons will be sent packing with with little in return but expiring contracts.

It struck me when I read the Amick piece about how much money the Maloofs are losing that it was one of those inside jobs, where the team leaks information before the actual events to prepare the fanbase for the enevitable disapointment.

I know we are holding out hope for Amare or Tyson, but I am starting to get a bad feeling that we will end up with Joe Smith, Raef LaFrentz, an injured Jerry Stackhouse or Anthony Parker.

You heard it here first.
