THE DOLDRUMS

Colloquially, the "doldrums" are a state of inactivity, mild depression, listlessness or stagnation.[1]

The word is derived from dold (an archaic term meaning "stupid") and -rum(s), a noun suffix found in such words as "tantrum.

This day is mildly depressing and stupid.

They close the place for an hour so they could bring their dogs in. I overheard Scottie say, "Welcome to Chicago".. and Melo smiled. I noticed a tear of happiness in the corner LaLa's eye as she ate a Polish with sport peppers and what looked like mustard and grilled onions.

We got this.

Once again...this isn't the nfl. You can't just stretch contracts out or change the terms after the fact. Otherwise the Bulls would do the same with their players.

Sure you can. You don't keep the player but you clear a lot of the deal off the books. Kobe's 2 years would be broken into 5. Nash's 1 year into 3.

We kind of refer to this as the Eddy Curry Rule.

In the NBA labor deal is what is called the “stretch provision,” which will help teams get rid of underperforming players on big deals. It can only be used on new contracts but here is how it works: If you want to get rid of a player you can buy him out then stretch out his contract on your books for double the length of the deal plus one year. For example, if a player is owed $20 million over two seasons and he gets waived, the team can stretch him out so his deal so on the official salary cap ledger he only costs them $4 million a season for five seasons.

Yeah that would mean Kobe wouldn't be on the roster anymore. Kobe isn't going to recruit Melo so the Lakers can waive him or buy his contract out.

On top of that, that team would win **** in the west with only Melo and lebron.

So what's to stop us from stretching out a contract and offering Melo more cash?

He is. The dogs are his accountants.

Found a picture of one of Melo's attorneys leaving a prestigious downtown law firm in Chicago just minutes ago. Makes sense why they had to get that early morning grooming session in earlier today. Gotta look good for the big meeting.

That is GOAT post.

even better cause I know a dog that looks just like that.

Hasn't it already had like 6 different titles already? At this point it's chasing titles like LeBron.

Do it, that OP was just thirsty for a thread with his named attached to it. Pretty sure he failed with Melo 16 as well.
