@johnhollinger Say WHAT?!?!?!?!? RT @SpearsNBAYahoo Clippers sign forward Brian Cook to two-year deal worth about $2.5 million
$2.5 / 2 = $1.25? Reading the snippet it seems to me that Cooks deal is worth $2.5mill in total (ie $1.25 mill per year). Veterans minimum for 2010-11 = $1.22m and in 2011-12 = $1.26m So it's impossible to pay him any less than $2.5million over 2 years.
Cook combined with the Clippers? That's got to create a level of suckitude so high it wraps right around and turns them into a juggernaut.
Cook may not bring as much to the team as LeBron while on the floor, but where his presence will really be felt is on the bench as he cheers his teammates on.
Cook definitely has compromising photos of David Stern and a shetland pony. It's the only logical explanation
