You know it all fans crack me up. Travis you are such a condesending little prick it’s hilarious. My first time on this site and last. Let me know when Travis is running the Pistons so I can sell all my gear as we are stuck in Mediocrity.

What’s the point of the Singler/Harris trade? They are both totally NBA-unproven prospects of comparable value who play the same position. If anything, Singler’s skill set is a slightly better fit for the Pistons than Harris’. I mean, the trade wouldn’t bother me because at this point, it’s a 50/50 shot who would end up with the better player. But GMs rarely do such things. Both of those players are on the team that picked them. So odds are their current GMs at least slightly overvalue them. In other words: not gonna happen.

The flexibility comes because who knows what will happen all season. Maybe a potential trade comes up and the difference between it being acceptable/doable or not is the presence of CV on the team. For a trade to fit those conditions maybe another has to happen first. So it’s a long shot that his absence from the team makes any difference. But I think it’s an even longer shot that he plays well enough to be traded for an expiring deal or whatever.

Jacob like you say, “scared money don’t make no money,” is the very reason why I say Joe needs to get on the phone with two teams: 1) the Grizzlies: offer them some salary relief and veteran leadership at their wing position with Tay and Maggette for Rudy Gay; and 2) Note: because of CBA rules this trade cannot take place until 8/11/12, but offer Singler to the Bucks for Tobias Harris, then WE roll with:
PG- Knight/Stuckey/Will B.
SG- Stuckey/English/Daye
SF- Gay/Harris
PF- Moose/Jerebko/Charlie V./Maxey
C- The Ukranian/Drummond/Big Ben

if he plays well, then they can possibly trade him and not have to anmesty. I dont see where the flexibility is this year? We will have 20mil in cap space next year w/o the amnesty and another 8mil if we amnesty CV next year. If we do it this year whats the point? They still pay him, they are still over the cap and cant add FA’s. So why not wait till next year, thats the SMART thing to do.

I believe the medical term for what LeBron suffers from is “Kanyitis”.

True, but if he was amnestied this off season, he’d still be off the books next year. And it would create more flexibility in the meantime in case some opportunity came up midseason.

re: Bynum
That’s fair. I’d still like to have either Howard or Bynum for the right price (and at least for Howard, that would include a max contract as long as Detroit didn’t trade a ton of assets for him), but I can see why someone wouldn’t like them.

re: LeBron
Did you really have to bring him up again when talking to me? We have wildly different opinions on him. I think we’ve pretty much explained them to each other as much as we can. It is time to just drop that conversation because we unswervingly disagree and there really isn’t anything more to add to it anyway.

It makes more sense next season because it can go in tandem with the Pistons getting under the cap and there will be a nice crop of free agents.
