I'm starting to agree with her (which is a first). this is becoming tough to handle...

It's like there's this hot chick in college and everybody wants to tap that, but she has some serious issues and can't decide wheter to stay with her longtime boyfriend or the new exchange student who is loaded and has abs. All the while everyone else in class drools over her and would take her in a heartbeat...

If he waffles out of this commitment then he's a person of really low character. Even LeBron didn't do that. If he does this to you, then you really don't want a guy like that on your team. I mean, it's a cliche but some cliches are absolutely true and this is one of them.

When people show their true colors, you get to find out what they're really worth to you. In this case, it'll be nothing if he doesn't sign the waiver.

Hopefully they keep him out of the game, and let him sit the bench and watch. At this point I don't care where hes traded get him out. He is just baby shaq thats all.

Who in the blue hell cares what Doris Burke says? She has got to be one of the worst in the business male or female.

Hopefully we can get something positive in a trade...I am stunned he's backing out so fast.

I hope we send him to some team in Israel and someone there drops a bomb on him.

Quite some contrast in stars playing tonight - Duncan the consummate professional, and Dwight who is beginning to look like a selfish brat.
