No way $arver was resigning Richardson. He was the expendable asset for our annual trade dump. Doesn't matter what the reason is, every season...salary dump.
Don't want to pay luxury tax...dump
Can get trade exception...but not use it...dump
We screwed up, panicked, sign the wrong guy....dump
We screwed up, traded for an over priced guy....dump
We let someone get away....need to overpay to bring in a guy two notches lower...dump
We weren't going to re-sign Clark. Even if he did good, hell ESPECIALLY IF HE DID GOOD, we weren't going to re-sign him. $arver $trike$ again.
Why on earth, when a guy is clearly talented like Earl Clark, after one season, before even his second season started, you say you're not going to sign him. What idiot does that? $arver.
I mean it sucks so much we couldn't of got Gortat another way. Oh yeah, we could've. Why didn't we?
$arver
Make your effing picks. Don't sell them.
Re-sign your good players
Don't sign crappy players period, especially for insane amounts
All things $arver won't allow or forces upon his token GM's.
So we weren't going to re-sign Clark in another bonehead pronouncement by our clueless bankster owner (ALL BANKSTERS ARE IDIOTS WHO DIDN"T EARN SQUAT), who if actually had any business acumen, (banksters need none to become richer than you and everyone you know combined), would realize you never publicly limit your options a year before hand, AND take the cheap by NBA standards route and not lock up your young draft pick for what is pennies in the NBA.
We got rid of Turkoglu. Thank god. I wanted to like him, and I still don't hate him. But getting him with that contract was such a mistake, we paid to get him and to leave.
What a waste. Instead of having a better team, with options to trade to get better, we've screwed the pooch enough now that we trade away our best scorer for relief.
So many messups, that even though, on balance, this trade might be considered a positive. It's hard to when you know you should re-sign JRich, but you know your $$$ is always in $arver'$ mind. When an owner forces you to do these things, it doesn't matter what you get back usually, it's the $$$$ and the OWNER in the same sentence about player changes, AGAIN.
These are bad reasons to trade anyone
1. You won't re-sign them
2. You won't guarantee a third year on YOUR draft pick
3. You made a bad trade ***originally forced by a $arver move*** and don't want to pay the money for him and know your team is screwed with him taking up that much cap space
These are HORRIBLE reasons to trade anyone
But of course we have $arver. Idiot Bankster who knows nothing about business, even though he owns a bank. Sad but entirely true.
Let's see who we got in return?
Vince Carter...$arver will either let walk, or will trade away at deadline for $$$$, or cap exception he won't use
Gortat...a guy $arver sold, that now he wants to buy back at 100x the cost
Pietrus....who knows, but with $arver's record, I won't be holding my breath. He'll be given away by $arver if good, let walk by $arver if becomes free agent, packaged with some decent player to get out of his contract if bad.
It doesn't matter if this trade we have a chance to do better, because ultimately 1 step forward in the middle of 40 steps back isn't something to cheer about. This move was only made because of owner mistakes. Yes an owner that leaves a gm in this situation, makes it more HIS error.
$arver, the anti-Cuban.
At least you know what to say when the bottom finally drops out after such mismanagement by ownership. Hell even our politicians get pennies on the dollar. Not $arver. We can say.
We $uck!
A giant holiday middle finger to $arver
JRich knows he just got out of hell, he's going where they want to win as he was quoted roughly.
$arver may get a pass by the idiots, but everyone with a brain realizes this was a desperate move, caused by $$$$, just like every other decision since he got here. Entirely repeatable going forward, but every time forward we have less assets. From dynasty to laughing stock and all the way he'd just 'on paper' make money, only to screw it up, and then need that money back so make another foolish $$$ move. Hell we've seen it more than NY has watched Seinfeld over the past 10 years. Think we'll see it again? I'll say this. We'll see this again has the same percentage another bankster will be bailed out by Washington.
Hell that's what we should call this trade.
'The Bankster that got Bailed Out'
I'll be intrigued by what we are, hopefully we can contend and surprise. But we're on our last gasps here. With few trade-able assets going forward. Which means, we're going to be treated to a team that doesn't have ways to get out of bonehead panic moves going forward. That's what I said last time, next time it's a big loss, and with JRich, it is. Now we're without JRich, and I doubt $arver will do anything positive with Vince Carter as an asset.
You $uck $arver......and we know EVERY WAY you $uck. It'$ $o ea$y to read hi$ money moves. Everytime your $uckine$$ rear$ it's ugly head, we $ee it. Callin $arver out for the fool he i$ for another year, what's this the 6th? $tarted with Joe Johnson, and ha$ been the deciding factor in pretty much every deci$ion $ince (except for panic deci$ions...becau$e they are $o much better to clear $$$$ by trading people away only to change your mind in panic time and give it all ($$$) back by poorly trading for crap...which then you can't afford $o you trade more away like the idiot Bank$ter you are). The Phoenix $un$, run like Bank of America, Wells Fargo, and every other bankrupt by 1000x time institution. Oh, if you don't know the bank$ter mentality, just look at $arver, who epitomize$ the perpetually failing upward$ individual. A cluele$$ per$on who couldn't run a lemonade $tand, who ju$t happen$ to be our owner running the $un$ wor$e than an eight year old.
$o $arver, when is your bank going under? Can't be long.
