because Phili isnt the Knicks... they cant afford to just add more long term salary starting at Glenn's $15mm a year.

fishmike- actually, Phily has a huge, monster salary in place- earlier in the summer before moves (last time I have numbers for) they had about $264 million committed through 6 years- just behind us.

Their number this year is $72 mil- behind us, portland and dallas.

what they can't afford to do, just like we can't, is afford to spend that kind of dough and loose- though you are correct to assert their pockets are not quite as deep as ours that they can spend their way out of it- they're probably a lot closer to being able to blow it all up and rebuild.

What about your favorite- Antoine Walker? He hasn't signed an extension yet has he? I honestly don't see how he could lock himself in to that Atlanta team- they probably couldn't beat a lot of college teams. TT for Antoine? Atlanta gets a somewhat good player for two years instead of one.

I think it's because Glenn is a drag on the team and is horrible for team chemistry. It says a lot when a team is doing anything to get rid of you. They not only think you are not helping them, but they also feel you are more of a detriment to the team.

Bip, I agree 100%.....

I also think on the outside chance that GRob does come here, either by trade or by signing, he will make the ideal sixth man if he accepts that role...
