It's all about $$$$, forget about loyalty baby. |
It's pretty hard to preach loyalty to a player who's been traded once and left for the scrap heap another time, particularly when you're only offering half the money as several other teams.
I don't care if you're talking pesos, Euros, greenbacks, or monoploy money, I know there are very few of us who would stay with our current employer if they were only paying half the money of a guaranteed offer from someone else.

Who are we going to have start at center??? Miller is a F/C but I don't think he's going to start at C going into 04/05.
Here's the current signed roster.... no C in sight:
Bibby PG
Christie SG
B. Jackson PG
Kevin Martin G
Miller F/C
Ricky Minard SG
Songaila PF
Peja SF
Webber PF

Songalia should back him up. Our once-deep roster is certainly no longer that. I like Songalia though...
I wish Vlade stayed but money is money. Our biggest reason he was an asset was that he was a great defender against Shaq. Now we will likely only see Shaq 2x a year, and the Heat are not making the NBA Finals, with or without Shaq.
Lakers should be a playoff team, though a 6/7/8 seed, one and done every year.

If the Lakers want to pay $5 mil to watch him lumber up and down the court, I guess that's their right. I'm still going to miss him though.

The difference between the two, so I've read, is that Vlade was an offensive player. Most of the plays ran thru him and he could score if he needed to. Ostertag is a defensive player. Strong under the boards and maybe that's a good thing. As Ostertag put it, the Kings already have enough players who can score. Plus Ostertag is only 31.
I'm not liking it, but I'm living with it!

I cringed to hear that. Now, I can hate him again.
It's a fact of pro sports fandom (is that a word?), that when one of your boys goes to the enemy, he is to be treated as an enemy. You can respect him, but you can't like him, root for him, or wish him success.
