Now the league is saying hold-up because of the fact that Stackhouse admitted publicly what should have been common knowledge. He said that he was going to re-sign with Dallas after the Nets bought out his contract and he waited the required 30 days. Big deal. That is not necessarily a side deal. Stackhouse would be free to sign wherever he wants to and if it's his choice to go back to Dallas, so be it. If I knew this was likely to happen, how come it's seemingly coming as a shock to everyone else now? People knew that Damon Stoudamire was looking for a buyout so he could sign with San Antonio. The Boston newspapers were reporting that Cassell was looking for a buyout so he could sign with the Celtics. Come on now. Guys know what they are planning on doing so Stackhouse is no different.

Yeah, it would be like if everyone knew most of baseball was on steroids and the league did nothing but then a book came out publicizing it all and suddenly they jump to crack down on it cause of that when everyone knew what was going on all along.
