‘BUCKED
In lue of the bucks matching our offer sheet for point guard Charlie Bell, let’s look at their off season moves:
They draft a Chinese guy, Jianlian Yi who wants to play in a city with a large Chinese population.
They overpay Mo Williams to the tune of 6 years $51M dollars.
They re-sign Desmond Mason, who “felt angry and betrayed when he left Milwaukee less than two years ago.”
Refuse to offer Charlie Bell a $3M a year contract until the Heat offers him $18.5M over five years. Since he is a restricted free agent however, they have the right to match the Heat’s over and thus retained him. All of this done after Bell states he does not want to play in Milwaukee and they signed Royal Ivey to fill his postion.
Oh, it’s not over. Here are some comments the GM, Larry Harris made after matching our offer:
“It’s going to sound funny saying this, but some things that Mo Williams did with his contract, (he) made a great sacrifice for Charlie Bell. I think that says a lot without going into too much detail,” Harris said. “I give Mo a lot of credit. He did some things to help us do what we needed to today.”
“The sun will shine here just as it does in Miami,” Harris said.
It sounds like half that team may try to claim assylum during one of their road games.
