sorry, but eff college sports. pay the players. can't support that plantation structure anymore. getting a college scholarship does not count as worthy payment at this point and the ncaa and schools know it (there is damning evidence of this available to the public now).

meanwhile...this is all rumors and fodder for media outlets to get folks to come check their sites.

we can't be caught up in the winds too much from moment to moment.

prima donnas? well, when you are THAT good and THAT wanted this is how things work.

in any other profession this is considered normal and part of negotiations, yet somehow in sports we feel the need to vilify those who work the angles?

and the whole loyalty thing is overrated when we know...and players know...that teams will seek to purge them as soon as they deem they were not worth keeping.

Yea lets rip a guy when we really have no idea what is really happening..Why not wait until its final

fishmike 9/27/2024 11:00 PM Ug I hate this. The idea of Towns is great until you see what a pussy he is. Jules is a dog. DD was a flamethrower locked up cheap for 3 more years. First Leon move I hate

If this Laker thing happens
Melo, Kobe it won't work! There is no way a Melo & Kobe team wins in today's NBA
They are kidding themselves its like NY part2 But with STARs in LA, They don't even got a coach yet !

Byron Scott won't get a Melo/Kobe Team to work for years & by that time the Knicks may win a NBA title
if the FA thing goes well for them in 2015.

Only Melo and Kobe get $$$Paid. There got to be something to do with La-la and $$money.
Kobe can be in Melo ear all he want, its a 'Fail' waiting to happen. As if P.Gasol is a 23 yr old again !
They luck if the see Gasol in games after he gets knocked on his A_ss few times and can't play cause of
durability issues. SO What's LAL and Melo, Kobe going to do next after that ? And whom is Lakers PG ?
Point Forward ?

Whom will play NBA defense on Lakers ?

They can't- LA makes no sense, in fact they are probably in worse shape than we are. This years roster would be: Broken down Nash, Melo, Broken down Kobe, Rookie. They'd just have the MLE and minimum contracts to fill out the roster.

Hopefully thats true:

Us signing Melo for the max- disaster
Melo signing max with Lakers, meaning we get nothing in return: disaster (though not quite as bad as the above)
S & T with Bulls= best case scenario (though depending on what we get in return).

Its actually worse than that for the lakers. All exceptions need to be renounced to obtain cap space, so no MLE for them.

If the Knicks do a sign and trade with the bulls does Anthony get a 5 year deal?

Thanks. This could get really interesting. I know there have been some suggestions that Melo needed reassurances about Jax's indifference towards him and that he was not happy with the talk about not taking the max but I find myself wondering about ToodarkMark's post where he shared that his friend over heard parts of the dinner conversation between Melo and Jax. Mark is a no drama poster and has been on this board for 10+years. If his friend's account of the Melo/Jackson meeting was accurate Melo could be looking to move on even if Jax has changed his position and wants Melo now. Not sure but it certainly seemed like things were wrapped up and signing was just a formality. I think Chicago is back in the picture.
On a side note, I looked back and Mark deleted his post and asked to have the thread locked. He also stated at the time that he had no way of knowing if the info was valid but that he trusted the friend that told him the information.

Scary time? That's exaggerated. If he goes we get cap space and flexibility. Good enough for me.

Checking realgm bulls board and Mark Deeks (shamsports) has posted quite a bit about the cap and different sign and trade scenarios over there.
