"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Oh, ok. It just seemed to fit too perfectly. Maybe they would have had to renounce Miller to do so. Maybe there was some reason they could not do it that way (although I recall Lowe talking last year about how important it is to put transactions in the correct order and the press conference for Asik was a day later than expected). Regardless of whether they use it or not, it would be nice to have it if needed.
I have a meeting in 5 minutes, but just wanted to chime in...
Just because we come up with a list of free agents, doesn't mean those dudes want to or would sign here. I have no doubt that Salmons was the best guy we could sign, otherwise we would have signed someone better.
This isn't a video game and these dudes make decisions based on a multitude of factors. I fully expect that everyone isn't as eager to sign a 1yr deal with the Pelicans as we'd like to believe.
Great post Kurgan, none of this is as serious as some if not all collectively, are making it out to be. We got ASIK and didn't have to trade Ryno! Awesome! We got Salmons? Whoppity Frickin' Doo!! We can't really do anything about but accept it and try to to understand the move until the season starts.

Either way, you can't find a way to get the 2 mil. Like I said, people have to come to terms with the RLE being gone.
What do you want this place to be exactly? A place where we all bask in our eternal happiness of all things Pelicans by sharing photoshops of Dell Demps covered in hearts and glitter riding on a rainbow?
I mean this is a discussion board. Made up of individuals with their own thoughts and beliefs all sharing and discussing a common interest. If your expectation is that people need to think and act a certain way about every topic of interest you are going to be in for a miserable time. Its the nature of human beings to have different emotions and reactions when faced with issues that don't have clear black an white answers or 100% certainty of its outcome. As long as the people here follow the rules of the board I don't think any opinion or reflection of that opinion is invalid.

Considering the Asik trade just got approved, I think they could have fit Salmon into space before the trade. It may have taken renouncing Miller (which would be no big deal given he will be re-signed for minimum salary if re-signed) which would still have left us with 12 salaries.
It was slightly more than the exception. We signed him into space
So you're saying another trade is coming
I love you guys and all, but once again, this ignorance is annoying.(Same thing with the Morrow situation)
We lost our RLE.... getting Salmons. No more RLE, we aren't getting one of your hopeful SFs.. our offseason is basically done.
Like MM said... Miller and a SL body... that is it.
New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks
