Since you don't have any OT in here, from which movie is this picture?

By the way... have you read that article saying that Rubio said he'll come if there is no lockout? Can we believe that?

But his salary in 2012 will be determinated for the new collective agrement, not for the current.
Good match today for him. 28:41 min, 0 fouls, 0 turnovers. A boy from MInnesota saved us.

Sadly, there will be a lockout. That means he'll get here in 2012 and if I remember correctly he'll get more than the Rookie salary by then?

"A while back,'' Cardinal said, "I took a picture of the standings and texted it to Love, just to bust his chops,'' Cardinal said. "He sent me a picture back of a snowdrift.''

We are all assuming there will be a lockout but nobody knows that at this point. There are a lot of things that can happen. We'll just have to wait and see. The NFL is going to be going through the same thing during their offseason so there might be some lessons learned from them. There is a lot of money to be lost on both sides in a lockout so there is no guarantee that, if there is a lockout, it will be an extended one. I think Rubio might have to make his decision before anyone knows about the lockout situation.

The NFL situation just makes a pending lockout even more stupid for the NBA. They have a chance to get casual sports fans to pay attention to their sport before the Super Bowl is over and it looks like odds are they'll squander it so Stern and the union can have a pissing contest. Brilliant.
