If we started selling our draft picks, like Robert Sarver in Phoenix, or trading away every decent young player because they're due for a raise, like Donald Sterling in LA, I would probably have to quit until there was new ownership or the current owner had a change of heart. It's why I was so pissed off this Summer after the Lin fiasco, even though there's a decent chance he isn't the key to putting us over the top, and why I hate the Sprewell for KVH trade so much, even though I could probably name 5 or 10 other trades that were way more damaging. I believe those moves had absolutely nothing to do with improving the team when they were made or giving us maneuverability to improve the team in the near future; they were moves made because of personal vendettas by the owner against the players involved. As bad and poorly thought out as virtually every move we've made since trading Ewing to Seattle for garbage on long term deals at least they were made in an attempt to improve the team.
This is way over exaggerated...
He did not pay Olowakandi(EPIC BUST!)
He did not offer Andre Miller a contract(okay maybe not fair letting him walk to Denver although Miller trashed the org)
He offered Lamar Odom 3yrs $24mil not 6yrs $60mil like the Heat
He traded D-Miles(really he should have paid this clown?)
He traded Q-Rich(really he should have paid this SNITCH!)
He probably would have paid Livingston had his knee not went Raggedy Andy on him
He gave Kaman 5yrs $55mil
He extended Sam Cassell
He signed Vladamir Radmonavich to 3yr $12mil
He signed Ryan Gomes to 3yrs $12mil
He gave Brand an extension and then offered him 6yrs $79mil but he left for Philly for $2mil more
He traded for Camby after Camby received his extension from Denver(like a 2yr $20mil extension)...that's like almost signing a player
He gave Baron 5yrs $65mil
He traded for Zach Randolph giving up expiring contracts when Zach had $33mil left on his deal
He was going to give Gordon an extension
He gave De'Andre Jordan 4yrs $50mil
He extended Griffin at Max $99mil
He signed Caron Butler 3yrs $24mil mil
He signed Jamal Crawford 4yrs $22mil
He wants to extend CP3 at Max over $100mil
He wants to keep Bledsoe which will require paying him
Sterling and Baylor being cheap is Primarily MYTHICAL!!!!!
