So cut him out of spite? Because he's not worth the money? Here's a thought...don't give a very mediocre player that much $$ in the first place. Is anyone really that surprised that this prima donna didn't work out? Now, as far as I can tell, you're stuck with him.

IMO, you don't start cutting guys and eating big cap hits when you're trying like hell to get under the cap. If they had something like 10 or 12 million in cap room, sure knock yourself out, cut the guy, but at this point I just don't think it makes any sense. Why waste the cap space.

I'm not saying he should ever get to cash another check from this team, but my opinion is that we don't have many other options. I mean, the guy can't possibly do any worse than he's done since he got here. He can only try to contribute...the problem with that is, I don't even know that he's interested in doing that.

So, I guess, what I'm saying is, the guy is a waste of money and I don't want him, but it doesn't make sense (financially) to cut him. Cutting him because he's an @$$hole isn't a good enough reason for me, especially not when you're already over the cap.
