Hey folks! As you know, real life is making it hard for me to update articles lately. Luckily, my friend Andres Alvarez (@nerdnumbers) has agreed to step up and help fill the void. Today, Dre takes on one of our favorite arguments: RINGZ.
The dust has (almost) settled on the 2012 offseason. I think it's time for us to look at the best and worst contracts of this season. It seems like every year, several teams are looking to unload "bad" contracts. We often forget that teams weren't just magically saddled with those bad contracts; somebody volunteered to pay them.
I'm calling them guesses, not predictions, because this way if I'm completely wrong, I won't look as stupid.
