It'll cost 12.8m to cut him and ~12m to keep him. The high cap number for cutting him comes from the remaining prorated signing bonus, not any option bonus that we are paying him. The only way to get it to 7m is if the CBA is extended and we can take advantage of the June 1 cuts, pushing 5m into 2007.

That's exactly tight! If we could get him to restructure...maybe knock that down a little further too.

Got a pretty good source for this, LaVar ain't going anywhere. Hate pulling the "I know something you don't know", but my guy says LaVar gets it, and his playoff game against Seatlle was proof. His high maintenece early on with JG and Williams is paying off.

how good is your source?

Very good. High maintenence may have been put a better way. Gibbs and Williams early on invested a lot of time in him, early in the season, as is well documented. Gibbs and Williams have laid it straight for him from the get go. No promises, no lies. He is completely on board.

I see Lavar, (this is me now, not my source, but they agee) as a Mike Tyson type. Not psychotic, but never had anyone call him on how things are done. Unharnessed energy. Big plays, big mistakes. His big mistakes do not make the highlights, but they are there.

That's LaVar in a nutshell... nice assessment.

OK before we kiss LaVar good bye. We need to realize this information came from John Clayton. He is about as clueless as my 3 year old son. How many times have we heard reports from Clayton that a completely false. It's about time we as sports fans start holding some of these pathetic writers accountable to the fairytales they publish every week.

his high maintaince is paying off? couldn't he be low maintaince and just as good, like say... marcus washington?

I really think lavar just needs to wait 1 day whenever he wants to say something stupid, that way he can avoid the whole "i'm sorry you misunderstood me" thing every other week

if he gets it and the CBA isn't fixed, he's gonna super screw our cap situation and force a lot of people out.

clayton and jaws are probably the best of the bunch. no one is 100% right, but they're pretty good.
