Yeah Barrow is DEFINITELY gone after June 1 now. The salary cap space will be needed for the rookies.

Holdman was awesome back when Blache and Lindsay had him in Chicago, but he got hurt and hasn't been the same player since. But it's been a few years since that injury, so hopefully he's healthy now. I don't think this signing is anything to get too excited about, which is exactly what we need, if that makes any sense. We need players who will fit comfortably into our scheme (we know he will after playing for Blache) for a very low price. He got signed last year for one year, $1.4 million in Cleveland, and he didn't earn a bigger contract. I'd be willing to bet we got him for close to the veteran minimum.
