RE: NBA D-League news (WAC related)
SoCalBobCat has a problem with me. I got under his skin a couple years ago, so he will argue about anything I say. Even to the point of redundant idiocy like here. Childish.
I have no idea why he is a fan of Looney, or why he thinks it's impossible in the NBA to move players, including low pay ones in salary dumps. The Warriors and in fact most NBA teams dump players who don't make an impact in their first two years. It's not uncommon in a 2nd round pick swap (W's want a 2nd pick, maybe find another McCaw level player, will trade a future 2nd and some cash) to make a small salary dump. Failing that of course they'll just cut him and eat his salary. But Looney wont have a roster spot; this is the point that SoCalBobcat refuses to recognize, that Looney wont be on the Warriors bench, whether he gets dump traded or simply cut. So he responds again and again refusing to understand that point (why I call him stupid). Watch him respond to this again.
"Socal" (in quotes as you are clearly more Texan), I totally get it that the NBA wants to try to make it impossible for the Warriors to keep all their players without going into luxury tax. But both Lacob and Meyer have let it be known they will tolerate paying some luxury tax, so any analysis of the roster must assume some luxury tax. Not as high as Portland and Cleveland are now, but some. Winning is far far more important than $1.2M, and they have shown that eating $905K of another players salary they released, so that a ore productive player can have the spot. This is the point you miss.
