Yeah since that's the case I wouldn't really mind it at this point where he goes.

Kind of sad that Hamilton could be in the same position had he been willing to give up his salary.

CBA experts, does he still count against Washington's salary cap next year? If not this is a very slick move. The Wiz are basically copying the OKC bible word for word and are doing a FANTASTIC job of manipulating the cap into value. 3 1sts from the Hinrich thing in total and next year they're looking at a salary well below the floor. I'm sure they'll try for another Hinrich type deal to get above the floor, then they'll have 14 mil more capspace to make more moves of the nature

I'm still trying to figure it out myself, so hopefully Nate (our cap guru) chimes in eventually. But I think we have $6.2 mil in cap space for next year. It really all depends on what the salary cap is for next season.

I think 2012 will be the offseason where they will try and make a move.

Bibby going to Miami?

Rondo and Rose both hope this is true.

Why would he go there unless he is to be just a spot up shooter?

Were Rondo and Rose losing sleep over Arroyo and Chalmers?

No, but they would love it if Bibby was "guarding" them.

They wouldn't lose sleep, but Chalmers is a good defender.

Knowing fans, I predict Spoelstra to be bashed by Miami fans for not using Bibby more. Reminiscent of how they criticize him for playing Joel Anthony.

Not even with the role he had in Atlanta he could make up for his putrid defense. Let alone in Miami, where his distributing, decision-making and ball-handling skills are not needed except very marginally (and frankly, they aren't even that good, especially the distribution ones).

My math says with your guaranteed contracts, upcoming picks and minimum capholds, you'll be at 50-51 million next year - But that's not counting anything for Nick Young. So to have capspace next year to make more Hinrich like swallow deals, you'll either have to let Young go or S&T him, or find a team to take Blatche for capspace, which is very plausible.

Either way being in a position to have free capspace with Rashard's 22 mil salary next year is an insane achievement

Yeah, that Kirk Hinrich + 17th pick for Vladimir Veremeenko trade is looking a pretty smart decision.

He agreed to a buyout.

For defensive purposes Bibby should be replaced by a guy in a hoveround...

Yeah, I really doubt Yi is coming back. Those guys will be renounced. That's another $10 mil off the books.
