So for the first time, EVER, we get one of the better FAs on the market to choose us over an up and coming team in the STATES, and all of the sudden we are fucked?

The salary cap is not as important as you might think. You guys talk about SC like all the big shot players are lining up to come here. Money is one thing, but PLAYERS WANTING TO PLAY HERE IS ANOTHER.

And I like HT better than SM. At least he can shoot man, a decent pick and roll partner. And he is clutch, something we have missed.

And I THANK GOD that AP is leaving. He sucked last season. His defense was shit, his shooting was shit, he only showed signs of good when he was playing point, where he was much taller, and also didn't have to do much but to swing the ball or dump is in the post for AB or CB.

I will miss McSexyDelfino

, but he was streaky, and also nothing too extraoridinary.

our bench is thin, I agree, but BC is not done.

And imagine the prestige we just acquired as a franchise. Our GM is pretty decent. Say what you will about Hedu, but BC got who he wanted. Now even if Bosh leaves, we will still have a decent team with AB, Jose and HT.

And I really like that better than SM.

And also, if SM was so good, he would be gone by now, or at least some serious offers would be for his ass, none so far (as far as we know anyway).

Same goes with AP, no team has offered him a deal, what does that say?

AP and SM's positiotns were two of our weakest links, and now we have a much better 2 and 3. DD is athletic, and Hedu can make shots.

So what's up guys? Our team is moving forward man, I think we should do the same. Be a little positive and don't get all emotional.
