Re: Capulations, diatribe

Well, that really sucks.  If this is true, I think Pitino has to make a 
decision on Travis.  If he's our starting center, fine, but if not we 
can't keep a $3 million a year back up when we have Pervis sucking up 
cap room and Andrew who will be a fine back up.  And it's no good saying 
"give him another year", because by then Walker will be signed, Mercer 
will need to be signed and any cap space we free up will not help.

So, what about all this talk of freeing cap space by getting Pervis to 
retire.  Is that fantasy as well?

...Anyway, this convolvuted deal resulted in the strange, lingering half 
of Dino's contract.  Regardless of whether Dino received a lump some 
payment for it or not, the guaranteed portion of his contract counts 
against the Celtics salary cap each year until the contract expires.  
This is why the Celtics keep carrying 2.5 million even though Dino's 
full contract was for roughly 5 million a year
