The packers should have won the super bowl last season, too. But they didn't.
The league can't force owners to buy out useless contracts just because some fan demands it.
Jordan doesn't have to do for anyone. And given his extremely fickle and eccentric nature, he probably won't.
Thanks for the clarification. I was under the impression that buyouts were different from simply waiving a player. I figured since they were buying out the contract that the player simply became a free agent.
You keep acting like he's the sole owner, and not a managing partner of an ownership consortium. MJ has people to answer to that will easily elect someone else to the job if he defies their wishes or their budget. As piss poor and cheaply as that franchise had been run, you have to know that he's not really calling the shots, right?
Thanks, Bruno. That actually makes sense, since the contract is conveyed directly from one team to another, sort of like a trade without any compensation.
Just imagine the meltdown when Diaw clears waivers and doesn't sign with the Spurs.
No offense to Diaw, but I don't see him as the type of player that the Lakers would view as being worth $18M this year (considering that they are over the Luxury Tax) just to keep him from going to the Spurs - especially considering the fiscal moves that they've made this year.
Now if Portland had a chance to do this to spite the Spurs, you might have a point.
moot point. Boris Diaw has worked out an in principle buyout.No offense to Diaw, but I don't see him as the type of player that the Lakers would view as being worth $18M this year (considering that they are over the Luxury Tax) just to keep him from going to the Spurs - especially considering the fiscal moves that they've made this year.

I'm bracing myself for that as I don't remember any roster change that's ever been announced. All the roster changes seem to come as complete surprises.
Maybe the Spurs really had no interest in Diaw all along, and Parker only said that to raise his friend's stock
He was talking about clearing waivers.
They think any free agent big is going to Boston lol turiaf, Hickson, diaw now. I think there was 1 more but dont rememberInterestingly, both ESPN and CNNSI - John Hollinger and Zach Lowe - seem to think that Boston have the upper hand in trying to get Diaw.. How they continue the tradition of underestimating Tony Parker
Actually it is not a moot point, because (as we've been discussing in this thread) even though they have agreed to a buyout, he still has to clear waivers. Bruno pointed out that there are a handful of teams that can claim him, if they choose. While we know that it is not even remotely likely, it is still possible.

But both moves were sensible and I think the Spurs will be senseless if they don't pick up Diaw with their thin big rotation.
My bad. You are right.
Bull . Who are these other people you refer to? He's the majority owner of the bobcats. Therefore he ultimately calls the shots. Do you know what the term "majority" means?
