If the Lakers are indeed giving Dantoni an extension and looking to rebuild in a couple years rather than immediately I can only see friction.


How Jason Kidd Retiring Affects the Knicks Salary Cap Situation | The Knicks Blog

There's has been absolutely no inkling of a contract extension for D'Antoni. I'll be shocked if he isn't fired soon after the season ends for the Lakers. 777 has no idea what it is talking about.

Read a quote today Nash saying he knows he probably won't play again but won't retire because wants the money. That's dirty

I can't say that I blame him for wanted to. Heck, this is the contract that the Lakers gave him. I don't think his only motivation is for the money though.

He never said that - come on now - Don't make it up as you go. Nash wants to try it one more season and give it a shot, and who can blame him - for 9 million dollars, I would be giving it my last shot also. That's not dirty - that is smart business. There isn't a player in the league ever in the last 50 years that would turn down that kind of money

Nash did say that.

I like his honesty.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Honesty is tough to find, every one answers with the cookie cutter answer or blatantly lies about their true intentions.


Why wouldn't the Lakers buy him out to take that contract off of the books and open a roster spot? I know they said they are not a tanking team and they have 0 concern about the luxury tax, repeater or other wise, but why not get under it for just a year to avoid it and save millions. It just seems arrogant to throw away millions for the sake of being arrogant.

Nash has to agree to a buyout.

The Lakers will be under at least the luxury tax threshold next season which is important regarding the steep repeater tax penalties.

Not sure on all the repeater etc but even if t is against the cap next year just for the roster spot give him the exact same he is going to earn anyways.

The second one's not too bad, the first one makes him look like Mother Theresa though lol.

Start drinking already Bot? Not quite understanding this post.

Repeater tax is being over the luxury tax threshold 4 of 5 seasons starting when the new CBA began (something like that anyway). The Lakers will be under next season, regardless of Nash, unless some crazy dealings happen this summer (i.e. get Lebron).

So let me get this straight. Bot criticises one of the best players of all time yet is too proud to pick a NBA team because he is "a fan of the game" rather than an individual organisation.

Surely a "fan of the game" has to acknowledge someone with these credentials?
