I'm not sure Boozer will want to rush into a non-max contract.
-
Pretty sure even the Knicks realize he's not coming.
-
Imagine how much Jim Furyk would make if he lived in NYC
-
Unless you're talking iconic franchises like the Yankees or Cowboys (for the 4 people abroad that care about US Football), people care about individuals, not teams.
-
What they said was that you can make a killing without being Michael Jordan in New York. In Chicago you have to be Michael Jordan in order to have a chance to match New York's earning potential. I'd say you have to be better than Michael Jordan in order to match that earning potential. Jordan's already been done, you have to one-up him. ETA: I think it's a flawed argument, he'll make his money whether he's in NYC, Chicago, Cleveland, Jersey, or Miami. Arguing that point from the side of being an icon makes a lot more sense.
-
I keep saying he should sign for 1M. The prick.
-
That wasn't the worst contract handed out today. Darko Milicic got 4y/20M from Minnesota. :scratch: And yet, Darko getting 4 years wasn't the worst deal of the day, the belongs to Rudy Gay. Drew Gooden will play like 2 years of the contract he signed
-
If the Bulls don't have the ability to give Lebron a max contract after that, then no, he will not be a Bull.
-
Jerry Dipoto never pitched for the Cubs. You're probably thinking of Frank Dipino. Hinch sounded like a smart guy that understood what the role of a manger should be. Think Manny Acta. Josh Byrnes, not a real smart guy.
-
I can fathom a veteran taking less money to play with superstars, I have a hard time seeing a guy in the prime of his career at the top of his game taking less than what he's worth.
-
If they weren't so selfish, they'd all take 1M to play for the Bulls. You really think whether Lebron is in Cleveland or Chicago makes a big difference in his endorsements?
-
You improve 2B by not running Ryan Theriot's worthless ass out there every day
-
As they say, for every hot girl you see, there's some guy who tired of f@#ing her. Who says that?
-
That's where you're wrong. These scrubs getting signed to Ostertag-esque contracts is by far the best part of the NBA offseason.
-
Has everyone been so sidetracked by this tomfoolery, that nobody's going to complain about a pointless Theriot-Fontenot/Hill-Soto switch? -
Because it's not Newark. And holy Christ, I don't think "slum" means what you think it means if you're deeming all of Brooklyn to be one. Dude, I lived in Brooklyn and worked in Brooklyn. I know what a slum looks like. When?
-
Also, not that I care much about basketball, but what does moving to Brooklyn have to do with anything? Brooklyn ain't Manhattan and it never will be. There are trendy areas but it's mostly a crime riddled slum like the Bronx. What does where the stadium is located have to do with where the player lives?
-
I don't think there's going to be a '11-'12 season.
-
Dave Kaplan is a buffoon.
-
Ted Lilly for Cesar Izturis. Stoney approved
-
Thus far the best deal of the day is paying John Salmons 8M/year This assures that Milwaukee will be floating around somewhere in the bottom 4 teams to make the playoffs in the East for awhile now. Congrats to them. Deals like these give me hope that someone will take Deng. The other 3 sports have their mind-boggling contracts, but I don't think either holds a candle to the NBA in terms of fall-down hilarity. Darko for 20M? [expletive] it, let's do it! I cannot wait to see what kind of deal Telfair gets

I don't think Pierce would accept any kind of MLE deal, and I don't see (hope not) the Bulls giving him max money. Allen possibly could be had at the MLE, but not Pierce. I'd be a little surprised to see Allen at the MLE at this point. Pierce will probably wind up back with Boston for way too much money for too money years, effectively killing their chances at reloading around Rondo and Perkins.
-
I haven't heard a word on Paul Pierce. Part of me wants him to wind up a Bull just to see the back-tracking on here. Plus he's gonna be damn old by the end of that deal.
-
Boozer's a horrific defender too. Lee's gotta be getting a boost from how awful the Knicks are though, doesn't he?
