Jamaal Tinsley has been on the shelve for way to long and I think of his situation as a mid-west Marbury one. Sure he screwed up, but at the end of the day it’s a business and devaluing your own roster pieces makes no sense at all. Then again, it’s hard to argue with Larry Bird about anything.
The Heat — which has auditioned several potential second-round point guards (France’s Rodrique Beaubois , Arkansas/Ukraine’s Patrick Beverley , BC’s Tyrese Rice, Gonzaga’s Jeremy Pargo) — will watch for Jamaal Tinsley’s July 27 grievance hearing. He could be set free in late summer if an arbitrator forces the Pacers to play him (which they won’t) or buy him out.
The Heat need a quality point guard like K-Fed needs a reality cheque, so waiting for a very, very, very, very fresh legged Jamaal Tinsley makes a lot of sense. So does K-Fed being broke, especially K-Fed being broke.

I have no problem, and I MEAN NO PROBLEM with the league, GMs, and owners keeping dudes like Tinsley on the shelf. No one is above the league, the league has Jerry West as the symble, not a mack 11. I want to bust a few people in their head at times when someone messes with my boys, and going buck wild may have occured in my head, and I am always down for a Sudbury Saturday Night, but guess what………….I DON’T. So why can’t he hmmmmm. Look at it this way. I make asian food 3 to 4 times per year, and its great, I have a bottle of Oyster sauce, if I use it with the right ingredients it works, Oyster sauce is overpowering, so if I don’t use it or let it sit, I could care less about it, because the real player of the recipe is sesame oil.
