    I'm glad the Spaniard we drafted this time is ready to pop his pro cherry.

    I will feel bad for Cade if Garuba actually plays tonight. He couldn't even blow by a chair in his first game (6'3" Maledon clamped him FFS.) Garuba would clamp him up like he did with Tatum

    I have the feeling that he will make Hakeem Olajuwon a very happy man.

    Who else would take our money?

    "Kawhi, it's Rafael Stone on the line.....Stone; the Rockets?"

    "Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit."

    "Is that a 'no'? Do I hang up on him?"

    about the lottery pick question, the higher he was picked the more likely he was to sign. NBA teams can only pit $750K toward a buyout and the player is on the hook for the rest. The higher he was picked, the more he gets paid and can afford the buyout. If he would have gone much later he wouldn't make enough to make it prudent. However, I would bet the negotiated installments extend more than 4 years so some of it is deferred until his second contract where I think most everyone would project something North of $10 million per for at least 3 years.

    It's not Tillman paying it other than the first $750K, the poor kid only making $1.5 million has to pay the $3 million.

    It's a huge bet on himself. Garuba will have to prove himself to earn enough to make it worth. That's actually good for us.
