As a Celtics fan... I think it's time to move on from the Pierce era. Rondo, Green and Sully are the future. KG has to stay as the glue guy because he's better at it than anyone... Including Pierce. Whether they keep Pierce (at a lower salary) or not, this transition needs to happen sooner rather than later. We should never forget that led to the Celtics floundering... Holding on too long. Let's not let "what has been" cloud the vision for the future. As was written, "Don't be sad that it ended. Be glad that it happened."
Respectfully, you must be confusing the N.B.A. with the N.F.L. If nothing else, the fact that Cuban and Miller allowed Fisher to walk away from a contract for the reasons he stated tells a whole different story that "what have you done for me lately". Effectively, Derek Fisher did nothing for either team and on that note, the should sue his ass for breach of contract. If as you say, "Loyalty is to the man who's willing to pay you...", then Derek Fisher failed the smell test spectacularly in both cases. "Don't hate the player, hate the game", does nothing but provide an excuse for the irresponsible. Just because things have (always) been done a certain way, doesn't mean those things aren't absurd or in this case, unethical. I think a better line to hitch your wagon to is, "It ain't what you do, it's the way that you do it." If Derek Fisher had handled his business with that in mind, there might be no room for articles (like this), accusations and lawsuits.
I agree with this. The Celtics need to go the way of Rondo and Green. Likewise, Ainge and the front office need to stop goofing around and find a real Center so KG can play Power Forward. He's been playing out of position for two years. Get Gortat or go over the cap and make Dwight Howard an offer. They (finally) have the backup PG they needed (3 years ago)... Now a legit big man is needed.
Andrew Bynum doesn't want to play basketball. He wants to get paid for being tall and having potential. That way he'll have money for his European vacations, where he can go to soccer games and Flamenco dance.
The way some N.B.A. players dress proves that they have entirely too much money and time on their hands to come up with some of the ridiculous outfits they wear. The funny thing is that they likely think they're setting trends. On that note, Craig Sager would be the trend setter.
Let's hope that Andrew Bynum has done enough to prevent himself from ever playing another minute in the N.B.A. With regular people struggling, this guy got paid to sit on his ass until the season ended, only to have him show up in Spain, Flamenco dancing (of all things). He's proven fraud and should never get another dime as a basketball player. His heart and mind clearly isn't in it.
You're absolutely right D. There was talk about this very same subject and this very same person today on NFL32. This is the same condition that affects Brandon Marshall who apparently reached out to Young some time ago. Unfortunately, the meeting never happened and now, here we are. It's sad, but you can't make a person get help.
This is just proves that people see what they want to see. Basketball players are notorious for the "Hands in the air... I did nothing wrong" stance, but I didn't see a flop on this play. Nazr, tried to wrap Lebron up as we was spinning and Lebron was trying to throw him off. After all the "bully ball" the Bulls have employed, I can understand why. I think the Bulls (and Nazr in particular) didn't expect that response and so went viral. I can't count the number of times I've seen someone try to bully another person, only to have it turn around and bite them in the ass. Methinks this is what happened here.
The Lebron hate is seriously getting old. He seems to be finding a happy place between fame and notoriety and as a result, his game is elevating. People just hate to see a "supposed" villain do well. I get it, but it's still getting old.
As the saying goes, "If they hate you, you must be doing something right". X^D *Hahaha!*
The solution...
Problem solved.
