It is a great day when Vin and Tonic's name appears in the news and I get a flashback of nearly driving off the road into a guardrail when I heard the trade that brought him to the C's announced on the radio.

Why doesn't the NBA just throw him a bone make him a part of one these phantom trade deals, a la Van Horne. I bet you could just pay off the loans and he'd call it even. How's that for cap space?
