Really Celtics? And you also bring Marcus Smart to your meetings? LOL

LOL @ brining Tom Brady. Danny doesn't give a fuck...he wants KD.

Lol. Maybe if Marcus and Kelly are good they can get some ice cream later.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Didnt accuse you of it.
In general though, people posting the 10M and " might" meet with other teams are 'sharing' news that he was insulted, is open to leaving, etc..

My offered bet was made to anyone who thinks its a reality.

Last view I saw of Wade, was yesterday out in the middle of nowhere with Paul and James.
FA seemed like the last thing on his mind.

If you really are serious about A. Leaving and B. Wanting big dollars, you don't C. Go on vacation when teams are aggressively pursuing players and spending that money.

#commonsense

I didn't post the tweet, I commented on it.

Not sure why your knickers are twisted about commenting on rumors.

I'm pretty sure that's 80% of what we do on this site.

I agree. But given that KD says it's all about basketball decisions for him, why bring Tom Brady? How's Tom Brady going to help you win championship rings? At that point, you're just trying to woo him with star power - from a different sport.

 

[WiggyRuss]

I don't buy it. I think Wade stays personally and BOTH sides'll find a way to make that happen...

if at the beginning of free agency you asked me the chances that Wade stayed I would have said 90%....I think that percentage is down now- but the Heat are still the most likely team to sign him.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Bringing Brady to recruit KD?

 

[Shanemansj13]

where the hell does Gordon fit in now?

C Biyombo 17 mil/Vucevic 11 mil
PF Ibaka 12 mil/ Gordon 4.3 mil
SF Green 15 mil(1 year)/Hezonja 4 mil
SG Fournier 17 mil
PG Augustin 7 mil/Watson 5 mil

I guess they will get trade Vucevic or bring one of those guys off the bench...idk

Biyombo
Ibaka
Green
Fournier
Augustin

Umm...ok. That is a lot of money going to just average to above average players lol

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

The 1+1 deals are the best option these days, until the cap stops rising.

Only for guys that are coming up on a tier increase.

Bron and Durant will make more as a 10 year player next Summer.

After that, don't they sign for a percentage of the Cap?

you could get a boatload for Vucevic with his contract and skill set.....shit...if i were the Lakers I would have offered something big time for him before i paid mozgov....that wouldve been an amazing fit.

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

its the players that like the "max contracts" being a rule. not the owners.

I wasn't aware of that.
Not saying it isn't true.

I do remember a few years back James saying he would make a ton more if he played by the rules of MLB or the NFL.

what i was saying is that the players union is for max contracts and limiting what the max contracts are--- more so than the owners are...i dont think the owners particularly care either way.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Sf.....

Sounds like they are trading Nic.

He's on a great contract.

Nic who?

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Agree.
Not sure what the Lakers big rush was for Mozgov.

 

[Bolts]

Who's the girl walking next to Marcus Smart?

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

They need a shooter in the worst way.

That's why they traded Olidipo.

But, I think they traded the wrong guy.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Or Gordon starts at the 3 and Green gets $15 mil off the bench off...at least it is only 1 year

 

[WiggyRuss]

I wasn't aware of that.

reason it through.

The Players Union dictates policy. There are a LOT more guys that are 2nd and 3rd tier guys- then 1st tier guys.

If LeBron and Durant and Davis and Curry go from making a combined 100 million- to a combined 300 million each season- thats bad for the rank and file- and as far as i can tell- its one man- one vote in the players union.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Somebody needs to readjust their jimmies.....they are seriously rustled.

 

[trojanfan12]

I'm taking my girls to Galen Center on the 25th to watch the Women's Olympic Team vs. U.S. Select.

My kids have all this Sparks shit and my youngest started crying when I told her Parker wasn't playing....lol

My oldest kids name is Leslie. So, it's obvious what jersey she has!

I can't wear that shit. Because, it's way to similar to the Lakers.

It's bad enough I have to hold my bile down being on that campus...

I don't know why I like you and @ChiefsLakers67 ...it's unnatural.

Sounds like a fun day.

Make sure you guys take your pictures by Tommy Trojan, visit Heritage Hall, etc. (that way, as a UCLA fan, you can see what National Championship trophies and Heisman's look like ).

Sparks are looking real good this year. 15-1 and they avenged the 1 loss in fairly dominant fashion. I used to take my daughter to Sparks games and to this day, she talks about how much she liked going to those games with me and still says Lisa Leslie is her favorite player.

As for the bold, just chalk that up to you having good taste.

That was my exact thougt when I saw the picture.
