TBH, I feel like this buyout combined with the rising cap has mitigated this disaster almost entirely. I really never imagined it would be this small of a disaster.

I won't apologize but feel free to treat yourself to a cookie.

Always let your free agents get to restricted free agency unless the guy is an all star prospect type like Giannis. Other players need all four years before you know what you have. And the market many times proves out a guys true worth.

Some of us saw the patterns of behavior both on and off the court and knew it would end badly. Now that it has it's only the right thing to do is give some small apology for the people who stood bye their convictions that Larry was just a bad apple. I am sure the new owners had wished they had moved him. It's costing them a lot of money for nothing. Not only did Larry mess up this season in some ways but he also has handcuffed the team to some extent for 7 years to come. I personally do not feel a tiny bit sorry fot this guy. He had what so many dream of growing up and he gave it up because he is more interested in partying.

4 or 5 years from now he will be broke and filing for bankruptcy for sure. Jail is probably in his future as well.

What about those of us from the beginning who didn't think he had done anything in his career that justified getting the contract the majority here thought he deserved?

Who drove the extention: Kohl, Hammond, door #3?

My thought was that Larry got the big extension because he was going to be the face of the franchise after "Have it all" and "Baddy Chuck" refused to sign with the Bucks. Remember this was Kohl's last ditch effort to keep the franchise and he needed to have someone to market.
