Papabear Says
It must be a slow sports news day today. What bothers me the most is that we will be hearing about this all season and this is a distraction for other players on thier team. Sports writers should at least have some respect for the game but they don't . They love to stirr up trouble. Thats what they love to do. Now almost everyday we will hear about Melo and LeBron going to LA. Hey why not New York? Kobe already said he ain't taking no pay cut and I doubt Melo will take one to go to LA. The Media love to stirr up trouble. Papabear

Walt Clyde, Reed, and the other guys from the last Knicks chip teams are being more revered with each passing year as the drought continues in NY. And if the Nets pull get a ring before the Knicks, that would just be devastating. I remember a time when players did not flock to the Yankees. Example would be mid-80s thru 1994. In 1992, Yankees fans cried ineptitude and wanted Gene Michael fired after Free Agent Greg Maddux spurned the Yankees and accepted less money to play with the Braves. During that time period, the Yankees were not that good and would either have to grossly overpay Free Agents or settle for lesser guys. As we know, turned out to be a blessing in disguise as homegrown guys like Jeter, Rivera, Posada, Pettitte etc developed and were combined with other acquisitions to form a really good winning core.

Don't worry, it's not happening for the same reason Dwight didn't re-sign. Nelly breaks down why on first take:
Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

And if the Nets pull get a ring before the Knicks, that would just be devastating. It was. Remember when A-Roid said he didn't want to play for the Yankees but rather wanted to beat the Yankees and signed his mega deal with the Rangers? FA's used to run from us like we were trying to give them herpes. However, you really can't compare basketball and baseball. The Yankees can choose to pay whatever they want to pay. The Knicks have to play within the rules. Blue & Orange 4 Life!

If Lebron wins another title in Miami this year I could see him going back to the Cavs. Kobe will never leave L.A. and L.A. for some reason feels like they owe him some sort of debt. For all the crap many here give to the Knicks the Lakers screwed the pooch. Mistake #1 - Hiring MDA #3 If I'm the Lakers I have a conversation with Kobe that we're going to amnesty him but want him back the following year. We're resigning Dwight and need Kobe to take a pay cut so we can add in Melo or Lebron maybe both so he can match MJ. Kobe makes nice with the media and states that he will retire if anyone tries to bid on him. Blue & Orange 4 Life!
