    Of course, match.

    Of course it's not my money. Just 'my' team.

    Let him go unless we got a plan to dump MoT.

    I vote no. Too many bad contracts allready. I dont think that Posey is the difference between us and the playoffs.

    I voted no (do not and will NOT match) in part because I STRONGLY believeBoki will live up to the billing. Patience is virtue in his case. He has a good history of living up to expectation.

    Secondly, we already have enough bad contracts. It is not likely we will win it all next year so why tie ourselves up for 4 years? CD and Les have learnt their lessons - surround your 2 or 3 best players with servicable role players (bargain players) and give yourself wiggle room to make necessary adjustments year in - year out.

    Our beloved team have endured almost 4 of fiscal indiscipline. Luck brought us Stevie, Yao, Eddy and Mobley (especially Yao). Save for that we have been worse that last seasons Cleveland thanks to the bad contracts/deals we signed and still have on our payroll like Shandon, Rice, Cato, Maurice, Moochie, Jason, Maloney etc.

    Good riddance Poze - ENTER Boki.

    man...WTF...after looking at that why the hell did we not go for Armstrong? He is going to be backing up and he is signed for 2 years for 6 mil. That's a hell of a lot better deal than freaking Pike.

    And no for Posey...that's too much for a player like him.

    I would rather have Pike than Armstrong. This team needs outside shooting desperately and Pike brings something to the table. I see Pike working well with Yao.

    True we need a backup PG, anyone better than Moochie, but Pike will be more of a difference maker.

    If it's a question of Pike or Posey, Pike is a better bargain. On the other hand, I would really like to hold onto Posey's defensive presense.

    I voted yes.

    I wish we could have gotten both!!!!! But too bad.....having 2 good quality veterans would have been good. Piatkowski is decent though.

    Looks like 54/55 to decline, 46/45 to match--it is been hovering around this most of the day. 300 or so votes--not bad.
