I say, Pay the man... and pay Simons too. Ohhh, but we can't, can we? We MUST pay Dame his monster extension and still build that talent around him somehow. This team has a huuuuge decision to make about the future. I personally, would have moved Dame to Philly (with good PR spin) weeks ago, but may be too late now. Then, I would look to get out of CJ's money any way you can, and as quickly as possible. Use his salary to pay everyone else. Something like Harris, Ross and a (ORL)2nd would be just fine for CJ.
The decisions this franchise makes, or doesn't make, will decide the direction for the next few years, which should be fine for the Vulcans financially, but making a poor decision or two could potentially bankrupt this team in terms of talent and any chance of success, beyond these next few years. I could easily see us ride the treadmill for 3 more years while paying Dame his riches, at the expense of current players I really like, and having the shelves completely empty after that.
ALL THINGS DAME... BARF.
