Hold on, don't pass the collection plate just yet; Saunders is owed $5 million for next season and undoubtedly will be picked up with the rest of the recyclables before the week is out by one of the NBA many environmentally obsessed teams.
Why aren't back-to-back-to-back Final Four flushes enough to please and appease management?
