Bibby gave up a 6 million dollar salary for next year to sign on with the Heat this year! Doesn't make sense, does it? Here's why he did it:"In a move that must have mortified union executive director Billy Hunter, Mike Bibby became the first player to buy into David Stern's give-back proposal big time by agreeing to forfeit next season's $6.2 million Wizards' obligation in order to sign with the title-contending Heat as a peripheral provider.
It occurs to me Bibby is represented by David Falk, the same Agent Orange who tried to decertify the union in '98, the last time the league had a lockout, resulting in a 50-game season.
In all probability, Falk is 100 percent convinced the NBA will lock out the players July 1 when a settlement regarding a new Collective Bargaining Agreement can't be reached only this time it'll cost the population the entire season.
In other words, Falk no doubt advised his client, 33 on May 13, he might as well compete for a title while he can. He's wouldn't have seen a dime of that 6 million dollar contract next year anyway!
In that context, Bibby gave up nothing.
