Harrington's team option declined

Also says we won't be resigning DA or the midget.

Assuming we resign EO50 and sign DJ, Ajinca and Weaver (and let Hollins go) it's looking like we will have 3 open roster spots.

May still counted, Slam. It's a shame, but he is still on the roster.

I have to admit, I said thank god when I read that Harringtons' option was declined in the paper.

After watching and reading about how much Larry seemed to favor Malik Rose in certain situations, I was a bit worried O might get a career year in this season.

Since we have our token expiring to trade in May, there wasn't much of a need to keep Othella.

Hey, if he would have a career year there would be nothing to whine about - these should be pretty good numbers. (I catully didn't bother to find out what his career numbers are)

He did all right one year while he was with the Grizzlies. Like his 2nd or 3rd year or something.

Looks like Davidson/Ajinca/Hollins are going to see big mins this year, especially when May goes down.

It may be time for my boy Othella to hang it up. He has had a nice career and certainly made a lot of money even though he has mostly been a bench player.

Harrington and DA are no surprise. But I didn't realize Hollins had been given up on. Since I don't like the guy I glad to see him go, though. Cats are a classy team and Hollins never really fit that mold.
