Ok looking for anything at this point. Id probably have to resign them i believe and then trade them too you. Also could move Costner who as of right now is refusing to be resigned for anything reasonable. Really Pargo and Prince could also be moved MAYBE. Well hit me up if interested in anything.

I hope he has the sense to take a multi-year deal if one is offered to him.

lol Shit i would if i was him hes now even older by what 3 yrs hes got to be pushing 35. I personally think hes still good for 22 and 13 or so if given a 1st or 2nd option. I dont think in the 2 seasons i had him ever played him as a 1st or 2nd option more then once or two weeks. he was still consistently a 18 and 10 guy with 2 blocks or more. He'll greatly improve someones team this offseason.

so you have to ask yourself...should he have taken the 16.5M/4yr deal with 5% increases rather than taking 21M/1yr...resigning for 11M/1yr and then getting let go to FA...

Obviously the answer is Yes he should have taken that deal but if your playing well and someone offers you say 4 Mil more and a guaranteed starting job on a team that was supposed to contend you can take that and go for your title. We explained that too him and he liked the idea. We had best record in the east. He took it easy and helped. He then was talked into RESigning for 11 Mil cause he just really really wanted to win and we as management and him and his AGent agreed that its in both best interest too move on IF WE DIDNT WIN THIS YR. We didnt and hes leaving but on good terms. When he retires it wouldnt shock me at all if we look to bring him back in some type of management position.

Whatever, a 21M 1-year gotta-spend-my-caproom signing, a resigning for 10M less than that, and then out the door...and you think he'd come back for a management position?
I guess when your history is the Clippers organization...

ROLF.... 32 mil 2 yrs is still a fat pay day and report is that he loved mentoring the younger kids and bummed it didnt work out. And he added what the hell else is he going to do go to the clipps or bulls. lol NOPE he'll back back eventually. who knows maybe he retires over next season or two and really didnt want the long term deal?
