Seems like from this article that Finley wants the good life in Miami with Shag and D Wade. Can't blame him. Look what it did for Damon Jones's game. Hope Miami can get Antoine, Wade and Finley and oh yeah, Shaq enough shots! http://www.freep.com/sports/pistons/pistons22e_20050822.htm

If you were Finley and cared only about getting a ring, what team would you join? I'd give a lot of thought to SA, Pho, Det, and Indy, but in the end I'd probably pick Miami.

another piece of info circulating is that cuban actually offered to pay finley's remaining deal quicker (not deferred) if he stays out of the western conference.

It's whether you want to play for a championship or be on a team playing for the championship.

I'd rather play. That's just how I was brought up.

I'm sure Finley will play. I expect he'll get about 25 mpg. That's a nice role for him to have at this stage in his career.

Riley is trying to make the team uncoachable for Van Gundy so he can come in and be the savior.

Because of Finley? By all accounts, Finley is a great team guy. If you're talking about Walker and White Chocolate I'd say you had an argument, although I don't see them being a problem with Shaq in the lockerroom.
