The numbers are all public knowledge. Are you saying they are wrong?
My point isn't that they will go cheap. My point is that they aren't going to make another deal that gives them a substantial long term salary hike. If they make a deal, it will be a smaller one OR a player like Ilgauskas will have to leave as well. My point is that as it pertains to THIS trade, the supposed increase in financial flexibility is nonsense. They already had a ton of expiring money. More than they will use. So adding even more on top of that doesn't really add any value to the trade.

This is an owner who has sunk a TON of money into the team to make it a real NBA franchise. He may not be as flamboyant as Cuban, but he's that type of owner. He's not afraid of doing what it takes to make the best organization he can get.

So I don't know about money, but you know about his fears. Ok.
