Back to Bacon

Here's a fun variation on the old classic. How many moves does it take The Misers to get from:

Wally Szczerbiak, Delonte West, Anthony Parker, Luke Ridnour

to

Wally Sczcerbiak, Kyle Lowry, Udonis Haslem, Mike Dunleavy

If you guessed THREE you were wrong. It actually took EIGHT.

Must be nice to make so much money.

Dear Franchise,

Don't let the door hit you on your way out!

I picked Franchise up on the cheap towards the end of the auction. I hoped that he would be a good "value" pick (whatever that means) and if he managed to somehow get his act together, he could be a solid rotation player.

Unfortunately, it looks like Steve's expectations, like mine, will be left unmet.

Steve Francis did not expect much, but sounded shocked that he might begin the season receiving little or no playing time.

So the Never Won's welcome a new player to the stable and also officially announce the opening of the "soft 12th spot" on its roster. Kyle Korver, I'll see you soon.

In the meantime, welcome Kyle Lowry. You seem to have some potential and I like potential. I also like Indian food even though it burns coming out the other end. Don't be that guy.

Lastly, this marks Franchise's inevitable ascent to "solid contributor" status on someone else's roster. That's just how it goes for the Never Won's.
