After all I decided to go to PSV Eindhoven (I was living in Maastricht back then)..

Just thought I would share :wink:

Nice :) I've played for that team too, I was playing for one of the youth teams in 2002

About Vaughn, I'm looking forward to the presser. Hope he's the right choice

ironically, i'd say that taking the time to post a message stating how much of a waste of time it is to discuss something in a thread entitled "speculation thread", is probably the greater waste of time.

but hey, what do i know, i'm not from the internet police. can i go now officer?


How much time is wasted for a post that's complaining about the time wasted complaining about a post?

(FWIW, this process can repeat infinately, as someone can complain about my complaining about your complaining about Zmill's complaining)

don't expect me to skip over your posts if you're going to quote me and comment on a conversation that i'm involved in. what you did right there was trolling, which i believe you've already been warned about.



You have been warned...again. Stop your childish nonsense. I was commenting on ZMill's post's. Quit being so overly sensitive!

Theres a difference between Pop saying hes gonna be a good coach and what was actually done for Jacque. Pop and RC Buford CREATED a position for him and told him he could do whatever he wanted in the organization, thats how highly they thought of him. Pop had his allotted amount of assistant coaches and said he'd create a coaching position for him. Buford said if Vaughn wanted to be in management, they'd come up with a position for him.

This is no where near the same as Stan saying he thinks Ewing could be a good head coach. The Spurs organization wanted to do whatever they could to keep Vaughn with them. It's a little better then just giving him some compliments.

Responses like yours are annoying. "What do you expect him to say?" Pop went little further than just saying "yea, take him, he'd be a good head coach." He described how they gave him the option to work in the front office or on the coaching staff, and whichever he chose they'd make a spot for him. The best run franchise in the NBA catered to Vaughn.

And I like SVG, but in terms of teaching others how to coach, there is no comparison.

And we don't all know Ewing is not head coach material.

David Pingalore @pinglocal6
Former @Orlando_Magic assistant Steve Clifford will meet today for another interview with @pdxtrailblazers for head coaching position.

I hope he gets the job, would love to see how he does as a head coach, just not on our team.

Maalik Wayns left Villanova a year early to pursue his dream of playing in the NBA. It appears that dream will come true, in his hometown no less.

A source confirmed Saturday that Wayns has agreed to a free-agent deal with the 76ers.

The deal reportedly is similar to the one Lavoy Allen received after the Sixers took him in the second round of the 2011 NBA Draft, No. 50 overall, the source said. Allen reportedly received a $60,000 signing bonus and then received the rookie minimum of $473,604 after making the team.

Man, when will this D12 saga end? We need to sign some players and have a roster for the next season!



Yea he looked good, but I guess the opportunity to stay right there in Philly was too good for him to pass up....

Does anyone have a stream to the press conference? I know some people who want to watch it but don't have access to FS Florida.
