Basketball writing, scouting reports and salary cap analysis from the archive.
Further to this , this and most recently this . In the last update, I explained how Tim Duncan had had his contract modified, but Zach Randolph had not. And yet what I could not explain was why Tim Duncan had had his contract modified, but Zach Randolph…
This post is essentially the conclusion to a post from nearly two years ago , dated July 22nd 2012. That post was itself a follow-up to this post , published three days prior. The two posts combined to document an issue, or was at the time a potential…
