please explain to me what you think. i'm sure it is wrong, but i'm sure what it is.
do you think the 21 mil he was owed if he had not opt out STILL count against their cap and luxery tax, even though he opted out of the contract and is playing for another team? is that what you think?
or do you think they couldn't have signed anyone that makes more sense than an aging pierce with their cap space money?

lmao
the answer is yes...boston is still on the hook for most of that 21 mill counting against their tax. learn up on the bird rule sonny.

it's amazing how you can be so blatantly wrong regarding facts and still not know it, while talking shit in the process
it's like me saying december is the hottest month in spain and telling you to look it up
PLANT:
man, NY better find a PG FAST and someone who can get Amare some easy buckets...
OG Hack Wilson:
7 even you fucking moron
Instead, Pierce's deal averages out at less money than what Gay is making. Regardless of how it escalates, Pierce's salary in 2010-11 will undoubtedly be lower -- much lower -- than the $21.5 million he was set to earn, and will save Boston's ownership twice the difference in luxury tax dollars, a potential huge savings for the team.
And while we all expected Pierce back, the Celtics can breathe a sigh of relief because there was no quality Plan B. If Pierce had walked away, the team would have been bound by the salary cap and it was unlikely they could have secured a player of his talent -- at least without cutting ties with Allen as well -- particularly in this deep-pocketed market where free agents are receiving head-shaking amounts of money early in the process. It might only get worse as the pickings get slimmer for cash-gushing teams that spent much of the past season clearing space to lure a superstar, but could get left scraping for whatever is leftover.

Either that or make a really strong push for Wade or LeBron.
if both those plans fail, they might want to look at Felton.

Isn't English your motherlanguage? Nowhere is this text backing up what you said. LOL, you dim-witted piece of shit.
All this text is saying, that for the following season, the Celtics are saving money compared to the situation if he had not opted out. Nowhere did I argue that. But he DID opt out, which means the Celtics didn't owe him shit. Don't you understand this?
Also, the Celtics would have been under the cap with him leaving - meaning they could have signed a younger player instead.
Stop being stupid as fuck and accept that I have been right all along and you have been dead wrong.
