Vecsey reports Harris is not coming back

[Nowak008]

He probably got this info from the Bucks in lite of our protest that is in the works.

I am making a statement too.... Michael Redd will retire one day

Tell me when that day will be, like Vecsey did, and I'll give you credit.

[MJallday59]

Hire Bill Simmons please.....

The worst part about this is that Kohl has to be burning bridges with the league's GMs. Imagine if you're a GM and spend hours on draft night or the trade deadline negotiating a deal, to have the other team's GM to agree in principal but then the owner nix it at the 13th hour. All of a sudden, you've lost your opportunity to negotiate with other teams and you're screwed. Would you ever want to deal with this organization again? Of course not.

Kohl is killing this team.

Very, very true.
Unfortunately.

LH is obviously gone...the question he is looking at is whether to to walk away on your own terms or collect as much cash as possible....Del was here last week....from what I am hearing most want him to just leave and not give Kohl the satisfation......if Harris calls a press conference....there will be bucket dumping and it could be epic....he is that frustrated and angry....but he also has to think about his future, so we'll see.

Yeah, I'm not sure.
On the one hand Harris may continue to be the good soldier and keep his mouth shut on the way out the door. Usually it does not sit well with the rest of the NBA franchises (his future employers) to air an organization's dirty laundry on your way out.If someone would do that after leaving just about any other franchise, that would be a black mark against them because then it is an open question as to whether you will do that to your new organization should you ever part ways with them. That MAY still be the case with the Bucks.

But the Bucks are a special case. The situation has been festering for a number of years now and more and more people (on this forum included) have been picking at the scab lately too. So in this case, Harris might very well be able to dump on Kohl while on the way out. There are many in other franchises that would actually PREFER that he does, as Harris would be experessing things that they themselves would love to express but are not in a position to.

It will definitely be interesting.

I think Harris should make a special appearance on the Pro Hoops Show Thursday evening, quit on the air, and then show up to the Grocery Bag Revolt with us on Saturday. We won't even ask him to wear one of the grocery bags and mess up that hair of his. Besides, that bag would be a mess from all that hair product. It would be like a butter soaked popcorn bag, or a brown paper bag that you get a Philly Cheesesteak in

Harris isn't going to say a word on his way out. He's still pretty young and wants to keep working in the NBA.

[LISTEN2JAZZ]

Does anybody have any insight as to why Kohl would have put a stop to the triangle? Did a player complain to him about it? Why would he care or even notice what offense they're using?

For a normal team, what you just wrote is what my response would have been in this situation. And as I mentioned as well, that is definitely part of the calculus.
The Bucks are a special case though, and as such the normal rules that you mention that would normally hold true MIGHT not hold true in this case.

As much as I'm fond of Harris though, he hasn't exactly been a profile in courage here in how he has dealt with Kohl, so what I expect Harris to do is exactly what you said.

I want Rick Carlisle as coach.

[schweig]

Hey Ryan,

Perhaps its time to get Rick Rolled again?

Is that for me? Good thing I peeked in on the Peter Vecsey thread just because I've been seeing him a lot on NBA Vault.

If it is I think it is time, haven't seen that new new fishing tape yet. Just because the woman-to-woman hotline isn't near as efficient doesn't have to get in the way. Could've hooked up our own hotline but who knew? Haha if that wasn't for me just ignore this but otherwise we'll figure it out.

[whatthe_buck!?]

i really think lh is gonna go somewhere else and do pretty well and make us look stupid again

Time to find a new sig.

Well, this wasn't at all the way I thought this would end, but I'll claim victory anyway.

Seriously though, at least admit that LH got the best of the TJ Ford trade. That would make me happy, and I know you know it's true.

Gotta love Vecsey
