If you buy him out, make sure you give him an offer to stay. Obviously not adding up to 15m, but a smaller deal to keep him here. I don't think Paul will mind a paycut to stay.
It's going to be interesting what will happen. Though all signs point to him leaving one way or another. Either way it will be a sad feeling for me, sort of like when The Chief left Boston...
for the vet minimum? sure. but he's still only a 4 and plays like one, not really a center. either way, it may be too late now anyway if all signs are pointing to years of rebuild.
please get a legit big man Ainge, so that KG won't have to play so hard and out of position. the move to center should have only been temporary not long term.

The others were still early in their careers, while Karl has been established and been around for a while. He won't get fired and in the even that he does, he will still be in demand.
You know Tragic Johnson, back when the Spurs were winning MULTIPLE championships, not one of those guys were constantly on TV or famous to the height that the major stars mentioned are famous now. Just gonna have to live with the fact that some players are more marketable than others. It sometimes does not have much to do with talent at all.
It's almost like, why can't the ugly geeky 1 billion IQ guy get a hot girlfriend? Oh he's smart, he's got a great career, he's well respected in his field, etc etc. That's just how it is, unfair or not.
oh wow... we win game 5, hanging on for dear life... and now this. what are you trying to do ainge? instead of trading pierce, can we just trade ainge instead?
im happy boston won, then as i was about to close the game, i see this funny bizznizz. however, the highlight for me was when Doc scolded Melo (Fab), kind of like a 'go to your room' condescending type scolding... lol
The point is Jt (and Wennington) have contributed to championships. Until jr does at least, at the bare minimum, carried the luggage for a championship team, he should show just a little respect rather than the who who who crap. What're you, 5 years old.
Im not looking forward to the inevitable rebuild that's coming, so I for one hope it's not his final game and whatever happens, KG stays around for as long as he is able to. Both he and Pierce are fighters and it's an absolute pleasure for me to watch them compete, no matter what the odds.
Phil Jackson is a fraud. Unless Lebron suddenly comes to Toronto with a couple of major all stars, only then will Phil consider. Red Auerbach was right, Phil is just a mediocre coach.
So Spoelstra? speak for yourself.

But who knows, maybe the payment will be some form other than cash :P
