Holy crap. Just saw it. Gilmore has released a very nice statement which is to be expected. Such a classy guy.

BB should have traded him for something...WTF?

 

[Big/Sky/Fly]

Maybe he's still hurt though...it's possible.

 

[Roberto71]

No, they say his quad is now healthy, just needs to get up to speed...it does make a better amount of cap space.

A team like Tampa would be mad not to take him, they urgently need corners.

Don't you think he tried? Let's see what happens next. There is probably something in the works.

I guess it makes some sense due to the cap ramifications, but I really wish there was a way to keep him here.

I felt like adding him to this defense would make it a really dynamic unit.

He'll sign with one year contract with of the top teams for a chance at a ring and get paid next year...

This is a disaster. Our best defensive player and we not only don't sign him because of "cap" even though we had $160 mil to spend but we don't get a pick either. And you guys wonder why I keep telling you that Bill is a terrible GM.

Also, just to add salt. I bet Tampa picks him up. LOL

Good thing jonnu is getting like ten million.
In BB we trust……..

 

[patswin]

Can’t say I am surprised. Needed some cap space and I bet this isn’t the last surprise from BB.

 

[Mazz22]

Schefter noted that the team was roughly $54,000 under the salary cap and "needed financial flexibility."

Unbelievable. So with ALL that cap to spend, Bill managed it so badly that we were left with 54k. You can't make this up.
