Still remember for the last couple of years how people keep trying to tell others Beanbag >>>>> Birdman. :lol:

Having that ace in the hole as a backup 4/5 would be awesome right now

With the case they had and the allegations made it was almost slander. All most people know about the story was the headline. I remember when I suggested picking him up at least one person said they wanted no part of a child rapist :roll:

I agree that he would have been a good fit in that role and think we'd be a team he'd really thrive on. Fast tempo, spread floor and crowd that would have fed off him and vice versa.

That wiretap article about the Hawks being fined due to a letter they sent out is ridiculous. I have to assume whoever sent the letter had no idea what they were doing, and probably is now looking for a job. Aside from running afoul of the CBA, it is just downright negligent and borderline unethical. Hard to believe an established professional would send a letter to STH basically saying, "You'd better buy your season tickets before we sign Chris Paul and Dwight Howard, or they'll be sold out."

Makes them look pretty stupid to potential FAs too

God, he's such a dope. He should be thanking his lucky stars that a respectable team is willing to give him 20 minutes, instead he goes and complains about getting less minutes than Danny Green (one of the best sharp-shooters in the league, with fantastic defense) and Manu, the best 6th man of all time?

Coach of the year not being brought back.

Seems odd

I guess that's what happens when you lose to the Warriors. Yeah, boiiiiii.

(Also in his case, when you lose with the Warriors.)

He's such an idiot it's unbelievable. Love this bit:

For a guy that lauds himself as a clutch performer, he shot 41 percent during that postseason turn and under 40 percent in his next four playoff appearances. He’s 35, which is a number just two digits below the 37 percent mark from the field he’s shot from the field over the last two seasons.

Lettuce be reality tho that bastard was extremely clutch. He would hit 3 straight 3's late after beign 1-11 the rest of the game.

Jax made Rowell his bitch. I still cringe at that photo of them shaking hands after Rowell gave him the extention.

Bucks offered Monta a 3/36 deal......wow. How do you get an even bigger deal after a down season?

Jackson is like a very poor man's Iverson. I highly doubt he sees time on an NBA court again.

Absolutely bit the hand that fed him. If he was able to keep his mouth shut I'm sure the Spurs would have given him a job after his playing career. Some guys just have no basic common sense.

Karl, Del Negro, Hollins. 169 wins, hunting for work.

And yet Malone was the first HC hired...odd.

Vinny has been in hot water forever the guy looked awful before CP3. The other two are legit tho specially Hollins after the season they just had (Westbrook injury and all).

If there was ever a time that I could bet money on an athlete going broke within 5 years of retirement, this would be that time.

No way SJax ever goes broke... the guy is all about his money. He's the type of guy you hire, shake his hand and he's all smiles. He closes the door, pauses, turns around, opens the door and asks what his future here is, and that he wants more money.

I currently have a SJax in my employ... wish I could afford to send him home without pay. But our consulting gig is only one more week.

Kind of bizarre Kings didn't hire one of these guys.
