Please, the man's leadership and lockdown defense have earned him a spot on a playoff team, and the Jazz should do their best to let him achieve his goals. Just sour grapes, there, YB.

Just like last year is cool with me.
No 2011-2012, no 2012-2013.
the first interesting thing that hit me when i saw that graphic is that the guy hasn't played a playoff game since 2008.
the second thign is that, even back when he did play in the playoffs, he had a career playoff PER of 11!! and yet teams (including the jazz in 2010) keep signing this guy to bring all that veteran presence and winning mentality. this tells me that, not only were the jazz wrong about raja 2 summers ago, but probably the entire NBA community has been wrong about raja for the last decade.

He's a vet and can't be assigned to the DLeague.

How did Lamar Odom end up there last year with the Mavs?
Who?

Good point on LO. I thought the DLeague was reserved for players in their first couple of years. There were a lot of old vets playing there last year hoping for a call up but they were not the property of any team.

lamar odom voluntarily went to the d-league to work his way back into playing shape.
vets can't be "sent down" though, homey was right.

I honestly assumed that it was changed last year in the CBA, guess I should've looked it up.
Mods, as the starter of this thread (or at least the starter of one the threads merged together), I respectfully request that you change the title to read "Roger Braille buyout problems" (without the quotation marks). Thanks!
