Re: 2013 Bynum Safari

nothing will beat the Amare Safari for me...the amount of hours i spent in that fucking thread refreshing

waiting for every bit of info or post from that wine and gold guy

I wasted so much time in that thread it wasn't even funny. I was in college at the time and needless to say I couldn't stop staring at my phone hoping for updates to save my life.

Throw the kitchen sink at him for a two year deal with team option for next year. If healthy we'd easily compete for a top 6 seed.

I almost failed spanish because of that stupid thread. My procrastination in college started with the Amari Safari my freshman here. This is my facial expression when people bring up that thread...

(Not denying it was fun to be a part of, though. Feels like you were a part of history if you posted in that shit. There were some amazing photoshops, too.)

Re: 2013 Bynum Safari

If Bynum signs a one year contract here and is healthy all year, we make the playoffs. Simple as that.

PG: Kyrie Irving
SG: Dion Waiters
SF: Alonzo Gee
PF: Anderson Varejao (seems like Brown's move)
C: Andrew Bynum

Bench
PG: Jarrett Jack
SG: Sergey Karasev
SF: Earl Clark
PF: Anthony Bennett
C: Tristan Thompson

Reserves
1 Tyler Zeller
2 Carrick Felix
3 CJ?

Re: Andrew Bynum

I wish we had a Kevin Garnett type leader on this team that would tell Bynum to get his head out of ass when he needed to hear it. I think Kobe did this for Bynum and he probably hated him for it.

I'm willing to take a risk on an injured talent, I'm much less willing to take a flier on a lazy douche bag.

Bynum tended to play really well when Kobe was out injured. He may hate Kobe but I don't think he motivated him all that much.

What is the RCF Safari record for bringing those players to Cleveland? Like 0-15?

I think Grant has learned his lesson with past RCF Safaris. He kept the Bennett pick & Jack trade silent so we at RCF wouldn't ruin them for him.

Re: 2013 Bynum Safari

Well, it would be nice to start a positive Safari Streak before the summer of 2014!

It's become an unwritten rule that once a player gets Safari'd, they go elsewhere.

Having said that, here's an interesting tidbit I found over at FTS about a CBA provision that may be used on Bynum:

I'd assume the Cavs would include a team option -- as has been their M.O. this offseason -- near the maximum allowed salary for a single season if he performs well. It's worth mentioning that the CBA has something called "Exhibit 3," which is basically an injury provision that lets a team walk away from a contract if there is a pre-existing injury involved prior to signing.

Contracts can be written with an escape clause called Exhibit 3, which is a prior injury exclusion. It's what Brandon Roy got with the Timberwolves, and it allowed them to walk away from Roy without owing additional money. It says that if the team waives the player because of a prior, known injury, then his salary is not guaranteed. Exhibit 3 is tailor-made for this situation, and gives teams the insurance they need to offer him a higher salary.
