:clap Took the words right off of my fingertips. Adelman will be going to Mediumball in the playoffs.

Wonder if we'll even see Butler again in this league.

its a shame. he got a huge chance from pop and wasted it- i guess hes content with a couple million and a ring. i'm sure that if he tried harder he could get up and down the floor quicker. dude makes oberto look like a track star.

If he doesn't start to mature and develop some level of discipline with managing his weight and improving his game - it's unlikely.

Fuckin Beno is the new HITA.

At least Beno doesn't make $9 million per, and never threatened to hold out when he didn't get his extension. They do seem to exert about the same amount of effort in the playoffs though.

We managedto dump that contract, save some money, get Udoka... nice.

Smitty did have that nice run up the score three vs the Lakers in game 6 in 03 though....
