Spoon Gone

Welcome Lonny Baxter.

 

Man, I wish we could get rid of Charlie Ward, Moochie, and that has-been Vin Baker.

 

Never feel sorry for a millionaire, even an unemployed one.

 

Yeah - Spoon is about to get paid $6.3 million dollars to do absolutely nothing. Don't feel too bad for him!

 

He was being sarcastic....

 

Who, don grahamleone? If you're talking about everyone else then yes I know.

 

not much different than last year....

 

While I agree with the Rockets' decision, I do wish Spoon good luck. IMO he does not deserve any ill will from us for negotiating a good contract with another team -- no matter that we consciously traded for Spoon and that contract.

 

I was hoping we could we could use all our expirings for a rasheed wallace type acquisition, that the pistons pulled off, in their championship year. but after all it is a bussiness.

 

There goes our 3rd center. Now we only have one center under contract.

 

Question about the amnesty rule, I keep reading "one-time provision" so what exactly does that mean? Is it just year or will teams be allowed to make one cut every year under this rule?

 

uuhh.. he played PF. And Mutombo's gonna sign.

 

I for one legitimately liked Spoon.

He was a player who worked hard despite his physical limitations.

Also, I will always remember the game where he held Duncan to 1-6 the time he was guarding him and KG 0-4.

 

You mean there goes our 3rd, 4th and 5th center!

He's more like the center gravity of the team.

 

can only be used this year and never again

Edit: To clarify, can only be used in 2 hours and then never again

Probably one hour (Eastern time, I would think)

 

Wow just noticed the Calvin Booth was making 13.5 Million. My god it pays to be at least 7 feet tall.

 

Good Luck Spoon.......Now that's overwith, I can cheer this for one reason. That's one less former Knick on our roster! With the exception of Mutombo, let's get CD to get rid of the rest of them!
