Let me Quote Bill Clinton here " I did not have sexual relations with that woman."
Also "it depends on what the definition of 'is' is."
Break the bank means spend outlandishly and Break Bank and pay Billups means to spend outlandishly to get Billups, and Mark doesn't have the luxury to do that for Billups if as you put it in your first #1 thread -- you keep the core intact. Cuban, as stated by many here, can only spend the MLE on him, and everyone agrees that Billups will command more than that.
cool, if you will read all of it, you might get an understanding of how the CBA works.

Lets say the situation that Chum proposed happens, then what? Are you saying that Chum needs to learn the CBA more as well? Because Chum clearly pointed out a couple of situations where by "Your Standards" would be breaking the bank.
Now if we were really wanted to get deep, then as I read this thread, there are several people here who claim to be experts in the CBA. Please dont use the you just know the basics, because the basics is not what some deals are done with. It is the other advanced portion that can render many players at different places. Because clearly, it seems that most think that CBA is cut and dry just by reading it. I have a good hunch it is NOT that simple. If it was, then I would use the same reasoning and say that it is 100% impossible to sign Billups like several have suggested.
So, why is it that some of the proposed experts here have NOT attacked those posts. I wonder, because it seems that this thread is just about one-sided, but I see that Chum and couple of others pointed out some situations that it could happen.
Let me make an example as well:
You want to start your own 17under AAU team, and your first player you want to get is a tough center who can anchor your team. You choose to get a 6'3 center with alot of size, so that is who you choose. I on the other hand, tell you that you are stupid because you need to get a tough center who is at least 6'7 in order to compete. Where did I go wrong at when I called you stupid? Simple, solution. It is YOUR team. It does not matter what I think, you are the one who felt the 6'3 player is the best fit for YOUR team.
