The problem is, since we would be paying him the full contract anyway, getting rid of him much give us a boost in some way. We don't have another 2-guard beyond Stuckey. If we had a young guy (say if we get caught in the back 10 of the draft and pick up Lamb/Beal) opening the minutes would be enough in itself. But otherwise, we would need Knight more at the 2 (where he should not be developing) or Daye, or whomever else is a pretty bad fit.

Getting him off the cap only matters for two reasons - luxury tax and free agents. Neither really come into play for us. We are well under the luxury limit, and won't be making big investments until Monroe is extended (won't kick in for another 3 years). And let's be honest, no good free agents are coming here. The team is in shambles, the front office as a whole looks like they don't know what they are doing, and the Detroit economy is dead. We don't have market or weather. Getting the 12 million cap space (even though he still gets paid) doesn't serve us any purpose yet.

Can we get rid of the National Enquirer's BatBoy Charlie V?
