Did Mark Cuban have to waive Finley?

[Big Shot Rob]

I have been reading comments by Man fans stating that Finley wasn't productive the past 2-3 years that he was playing for Dallas.

I don't understand the stuff concerning the contract. They state that Cuban is still paying Michael Finley several million dollars.

If you are going to pay a man several million dollars, why waive him? The way he is playing for the Spurs show that with reduced minutes in the regular season, he still has alot of gas in the tank for the playoffs. If he is doing this for Pop, you would think he would do it for AJ.

Tell me how the Dallas organization profitted by paying a man with the talent like Finley several million dollars (I don't know how much--what amount is Cuban paying Finley?) and then waiving him so that he could sign with any one of your several arch-rivals.
