25%... 25% of our cap space is dead money. Man that's hard to wrap my head around. What kind of a way to do business is this?

Only dead money in future periods means something. Dead money in current and past periods does nothing to prevent a team from doing business.

You know where it started going wrong.It started in 2012.What happened in 2012?Mickey became head of operations of the New Orleans Pelicans There's no way one man could run two franchises they both suffer as we have been seeing. It'd hard enough running one team. Until that changes both teams are going to suffer.

It doesn't matter when "it" went wrong because "it" is in the past. Dead money and cap in general is no longer an issue going forward. These media dolts that keeps spouting off about it don't have a clue how it works.

Dead money matters asylum if they had half of the 40 at the beginning of free agency this year they would have been able to. Sign quality guys in postions of weakness.they got that 9mill 3 days before the start of the season so of course no one is available

They signed the best quality players at the defensive positions. You can't sign players that do not exist. And that $9 million could have been even more if needed earlier, so that means nothing. The $37 million in dead cap means nothing other than players the money was spent on couldn't produce. It did not stand in the way of anything and THAT is a FACT.

Not nuts at all. Answer me. The Saints signed the best free agents at their positions in the off-season. Name ONE top defensive free agent that dead money kept the Saints from signing? Just one.
