    we didn't have options. if we let him walk, we'd have only had the mle (and that's with letting everyone else walk--which we did!), and nobody was available for that who could start for our team. relatedly, the the worst thing we did that offseason was let beasley walk into air for cap savings. that was a 15 million expiring, at worst. top teams operating over the cap just don't do that. anyway, that's another thing i'm hoping will be finished with the new ownership group. with deeper pockets, we would have balloon-paid dlo for one year (instead of giving him a PO on a two-year deal at lower money) and kept beasley. this is certainly what would have happened if ballmer was our owner, imo, and then we'd have been in position to make more trades instead of being handcuffed. was that the year the clips got norm powell for expirings? can't remember, but that's the kind of thing we missed out on.

    anyway, rich paul needs to get away from my team. stop talking about them and go away. did you enjoy watching westbrook's 10-30 team beat us, rich?
