Don't forget they tried to do the same with Oniel before dumping him off (what good is a guy making $21 mil a year if he can't even get 7 rebounds?)

Is it just coincidence that kapono plays the same spot as tay and evans plays the same spot as bosh. which would mean they are clearing space for tay and getting evans to help fill a possible gap left by bosh? anyone else agree or am i looking to deeply into it Kapono to the 76ers for Reggie Evans happened today.

Both classless acts but as my mama says, 2 wrongs don't make a right. I would have preferred the Pistons to have been "bigger" than they were and congratulated the Bulls but I also understand the hatred they must have had for each other back then after years of bickering and heated playoff clashes.

Honestly, do you really think its any coincidence that Allen Iverson had a massive FG% drop off and got 2.5 less free throws per game compared to last year? Or that he never scored 40 points this season. Funny thing is, Kobe seems to have been replaced too. He also had a massive drop off in free throw attempts, 6.9 this season compared to over 10 two years ago.
