Could anyone?

Yes. The Pistons figured it out. Beat the hell outta him on the court.

Yep it was the '92 season. Price, Ehlo, Nance, Williams, Daugherty. Those were some damn good teams. Always wondered what would have happened if they didn't trade Harper for that doofus in high tops Danny Ferry. The next Larry Bird.

He was a great GM for them, but man did Embry mess that one up.

going by memory but thinking Nance went off in Game 7 with a number of 15-18 foot jumpers. 122-104 win maybe?

Could anyone?

Craig was not a bad defender. The Cavs needed to move MJ into double teams more. The shot over Ehlo was the most overrated shot in NBA history. However, the Cavs should have never let MJ take the last shot.

True, but not like he didn't have a number of good games against them.

At the very least it was solid D by Ehlo. Nothing he could do.

I don't remember what the score was. Just that it was Bird's final game.

Yeah that MJ fella had a few good seasons. He was lucky to get into the HOF.

Not much more Ehlo could do since if you breathed on Jordan it was a foul.

I would bet their is something in the contract that implies as much.

But we can play it that way if you want......nothing in contract to give full effort nor against complaining.

so complaining or lack of effort is not breaking the contract, as you implied.

Play that way?

You really think they negotiate these monster contracts, and then owner says, ‘we better add a clause that says you’ll play hard’?

Tristan could have

the contract does not state that the player has to consent to a trade. the team CONTROLS that- its part of the contract. The players rights under the contract is to get paid. The teams rights is to get a full effort for pay.

Players do not execute moves- front offices do. I n no way shape or form is there any duty of loyalty from a front office not to trade a player---- in fact- if the palyer is really worried about that- there is such thing he can negotiate called- guess what- A NO TRADE CLAUSE!

when a player signs a contract- there duty is to play to the best of their ability- no matter where they play or who they play for as long as its in the NBA. The owners duty is to pay the contract. There is no right of the player to get traded.

And? This really doesn't have anything to do with what I posted.

Nope....and I have not seen evidence the guys who have asked to be traded did not play hard.

That said, it's a long season. There are many times where players are not giving their all.

Who thinks the Lakers are one good player short of having a championship team?

Another star certainly would have helped, but I'm not ready to write off playoff Lebron yet.

I don't want to think about it. The thought makes me sick.

You don't think there's something in the contract that implies it? I said there is not something that specifically mentions playing hard.

Probably not specifically mentioned you can't pull the heads off of random puppies but I would think it's frowned upon.

 

[thunderc]

serious Q as I don't recall the details.....was Davis the one who went public?

Oh the agent always does the dirty work.

I honestly think the chance is slim to none, as far as effort.

Conduct, things like that, yes.
