Man I think that was the first time I ended a 99 page thread. Forever immortalized.

Btw, what happened to the picture of the food ticket that was tweeted?

What a world we live in. Kyle Lowry is happy as a clam with his $48 million dollar deal while Eric Bledsoe is miserable about it and a victim.

He deleted it, most likely for fear of losing his job and such.

Sarver had a lettuce salad with blue cheese and Tucker/Bledsoe had a Caesar salad.

LOL. That proves it all. The guy wasn't even sure if it was Tucker or Bledsoe? :lol:

Who goes to a steak house and orders a couple salads?

How do we know which salad goes with whom? :lol:

No alcohol was ordered that night

Has there been an interview in which Hornacek or McD confirm that Kieff will be the starting PF this season and their thoughts on it and how it will be different from Frye starting?

If so, can someone please provide a link to the interview?

Seems strange that none of the media guys have bothered to ask Hornacek or McD about something as big as that.

You don't sign contracts with salad

Exactly.... The Jamesian Grandeur Syndrome

Can't compare Beasley and tucker. Beasley constantly fd up. Tucker made one mistake.

The Detroit Pistons have moved from the initial five-year, $60-million offer to Greg Monroe, and an offer that’s slightly better than the four-year, $54-million deal that Josh Smith signed last summer is on the table.

The two sides have yet to agree on a deal and negotiations are not ongoing.

Monroe could still accept the qualifying offer of $5.4 million. Deadline for the qualifying offer is Oct. 1

So Detroit have made a new $56M/4 years (around that) offer to Monroe and his value around the league is very similar to Bledsoe's value...I think we have to improve our offer too, Bledsoe at $55/4 years is fairly for both sides. I love that 48/4 years, but we have to recognize that in 2014/15 this would be underpaid him.

"We're going to have to move Markieff (Morris) to starting now, so that's going to give other guys like Marcus (Morris) more time at the 4 with the second group, so we just felt that someone who puts on a little more pressure scoring-wise can open up some of those other guys."

But he turned that down, and that's the last thing you want to happen. We may end up there, but it should be through a negotiation to settle at that price. I think that's an overpay, but if they come down to that number and are ready to sign, then it might be best to get it done.

I really wanted Monroe but not for a max.

Monroe doesn't want to be there. Who knows what he would accept at a place he wanted to be. Same with Bledsoe.

It looked like a food ticket that the kitchen gets from the computer. It did not look like a receipt. And what the heck does 25Sarver mean? Do they really ask for your name at Ruth's, and type it into the food ticket?
