Damn, I'd love to get paid....But who doesn't want to be great and have rings on top of rings. But knowing Spiderman loves me is pretty important too...

That would be funny if his agent broke it down to him like this, with pictographs and everything.

Didn't really like what SAS said about the Lakers and how they just have to come out with a big free agent signing this summer....

They had their spotlight, time for the rebuild.

Essentially says what we've been saying all along. NY makes sense for $$$, Chi for rings. LA makes no sense (less $$$ than NY, and no rings). Still, who ever said these guys do things for sensible reasons.

Nice thing is that even the downside scenarios posited there don't mention McDermott. And if Melo goes back to NYK and we get Pau, it is a pretty deep and good team.

Who cares about the Bulls getting spotlight in this situation from the media?

The Lakers had a short movie produced by Joel Silver and Tobey Maguire did the voiceover.

The Lakers had a real short meeting with Carmelo. They don't have a coach and their roster consists of 36 year old Kobe coming off ACL surgery making 82 million dollars a year and a 53 year old Steve Nash forcing you to schedule games around the 4:30 early bird special at Old Country Buffet.

The only real thing that was reported about their pitch was that they showed a video produced by the Matrix producer voiced over by Tobey Maguire.

His And1 to post ratio is absurd, I'll buy what he's selling.

Really? I think the class of '03 has taken a bit of a black eye lately.

When the Big 3 of '03 landed in Miami, people were going on about 7+ championships, breaking the 72 win record, etc..

What actually happened was that in the 3 full seasons Miami averaged 59 wins, which isn't bad but hardly dominant, in 98 there were 4 teams with 60+ wins. And Miami went on to a 50/50 record in the Finals, again hardly dominant. Especially considering how close the last championship was, requiring two game 7 series, and their complete obliteration during this last meeting vs the Spurs.

* Lebron has almost completely dropped out of any realistic contention for GOAT over MJ.
* Wade has been exposed as relying on his fading athleticism and ref calls.
* Bosh has regressed to being Ryan Anderson on almost a max contract.
* Melo has been unable to get any of his teams to any serious competitive level.
* Darko, yeah that happened.

I think the class of 03 has looked pretty bad relative to their hype.
