whats DM gonna say thats not already apparent? we've lessened this year's team fer an uncertain future. btw, we saved some tax $!
If discussions are opened by the official deadline, which is 3:00pm est, a deal can be finalized up until 5:00pm est I believe. That's what I heard on the deadline show on ESPN.
Deep down, it would have been hard to completely root for an Artest team, and we all knew the luxury tax situation would come home to roost sooner or later. That's not DM's fault. I don't quite get the Bonzi deal, but other than that, standing pat was not a terrible option, as I believe Dallas and Phoenix are worse now than before their panic-mode trades.
