Is he tall? He is so tall that when he sits on a quarter, boogers come out of Geogre Washington's nose...........wait that's a fat joke.
Anybody got any he's so tall jokes?

It was sarcastic, Btown...there's also talk of letting Finley go to save luxury tax payments under the new CBA. Bradley is no big deal...Finely is a huge fan favorite even if he has been declining some in the last three years.

They need to save the money and he's past the prime really....he is a good guy and well liked but I think the fans will get past it....besides he should be ok with it they will cut him and he'll still get paid a ton by them and not count against the cap and still play somewhere else where the fans can love him.....not a bad spot to be in

Wow the joke is a little weak bud haha

Aside from maybe Manute Bol and Mark Eaton,he was the most useless 7'5" player to have ever played in the NBA.

I dissagree.
He was THE most useless player.

I think he was considering it a loan to be paid back at a later date,probably after retirement.

Oh, well in that case... all of the standing around and doing nothing but allowing other teams to make embarassing posters of you in a Mavs uni is forgiven.

Actually, Mark Eaton had some value. He was a much more consistent defensive presence and shot blocker. Bradley would have one good game, get a case of big head, and then disapper for six games or so.

As for Finley, even if they cut him, under this new rule, he will still count against the cap. Cuban only saves on the luxury tax.
