Riley Agrees to Pay Cut

The NBA financial apocalypse continues. Quality players like David Lee and Raymond Felton, both of whom likely would have garnered multi-year offers in plusher years, continue to sit on the sidelines waiting for deals. The NBA league office has layed off scores of employees. And now team offices appear to be next in line on the proverbial financial chopping block.
