That's correct. It all goes back to some critical mistakes by Joe D (not just Darko) but re-signing Hamilton to that long contract before trading Billups and trying to make Stuckey into a point guard. In the offseason, Joe or perhaps a new GM will have an opportunity to shed some salary and rebalance the team.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
