What confrontation.


Simmons alluded to a meeting with KG, Kobe, and Pierce and that one player got so hot they had to bring his owner in to calm him down.  Simmons said you can guess which player it was.  JD made the same guess that I did.  I'm sure you will too.  

Stern a little white guy, right up KG's alley. 

 


Sorry Hank. 

"Smart" business folk give out them contracts Statis, while morons sit behind a computer and be like

 at them.  Can't blame the players for that, they can only blame themselves.  It's why I don't feel bad for them.  We paid Luke Walton like 40 million over 12 years or however long he has been wasting cap space, I don't feel bad for Buss one bit.  He pays Kobe truck loads of money, where he get those truck loads of money?  From Kobe.  So each owner has to be held accountable for their own issues.  If they smart with their money, do well with their moves, they have no idea what this lockout is even about, but if they dumb @#$%^ (Sarver, Gilbert) they beggin the little fella to help them out, save them from their own idiocy.

Not all is lost, this lockout might have abolished the preferential treatment/calls for the stars.

owners demands were too high and that needed to change, and most of those demands have been ceded. Players just don't want respinsibility of sharing the BRI

Wait, what...how and when did this happen?

I imagine Javale McGee will shut his mouth next time or not be invited to meetings anymore.

Edit:

That audio

LOL McGee is so dumb. Click on the grey box at the end for the audio clip kinda hard to listen but the clearest part is when he says players are ready to fold

Even if it was true, you don't say that stuff in the age of twitter during a negotiation like this.

I nominate him for dumbest man in sports for the year 10-11.

^Peep the link I just posted

There is a sound bite of McGee saying it

 

[n ll k 3]

I know, that's why I said what I said.

Billy Hunter with some strong words for Stern and the owners.

"If someone's pointing a gun at my head, I'm going to point one back at him."

Edit:

@LarryCoon Fisher on McGee: "The person who spent the least amount of time in the room can't make that statement."

 

[grittyman20]

Mission accomplished Stern. Operation destroy the union is almost complete...

 

[n ll k 3]

Look at All Star Mo cheesing.

I swear I'm rooting for the players but these guys present themselves as clowns time after time.

D-Fish probably wants to give McGee the Scola treatment and then some right about now.

It's one thing, if you have child support/divorce payments. However, if you don't have that, you should have been saving your money for this. It's a shame, the players will probably end up taking a 48 - 50 BRI deal, just because some people wouldn't save their checks.
