Nice article.

Good to see that JO is willing to make zero dollars next year. That should free up some cap space.

I don't think he'll make zero dollars, you guys will re-sign him to a contract similar to what Rasheed Wallace got from the Celtics.

I doubt it, we have to renounce his rights to be under the cap. He'd probably be able to come back here at minimum only.

[SmushedPennies]

Yup. And I have my doubts he'll show enough left in the tank to be considered re-signable after this season plays out.

[Lane1974]

seriously, even if he puts up respectable #s this year, does anyone have confidence he can do it again next year, much less 2 years down the road?

Hell no, he dedicated his entire summer and worked as hard as he could to get to this point and he still isn't 100% himself. Someone else can take a risk on giving him the MLE after this season, it wont be us.
