His manager said NO TEAM contacted AI this whole time. Not one team.

Re: A.I. signs with Besiktas

This is horrible. AI belongs in the NBA.

I could think of teams that he would fit in with based on his style of play, but we all know that if no one contacted him it's because they don't want to risk having him mess with chemistry issues.

If he didn't do whatever he did in Memphis last year, AI is in the NBA right now. Maybe AI didn't do anything in Memphis, and the media spun it, either way it sounded like AI refused to come off the bench and that's what everyone remembers. That's why he's not in the NBA in my opinion.

I can other stand why Eddite House would get a job before A.I. Eddie House is roll player. He knowns his roll. And you also know what your going to get. A.I. on the other hand. They is a huge question mark right next to his name. You don't know what he bring night in and out.

His manager said NO TEAM contacted AI this whole time. Not one team.

Wow....thats missed up....But littlle not suprirsing.

Re: A.I. signs with Besiktas

Eddie House and AI shouldn't even be in the same conversation. I can't believe u just said u don't know what AI is going to bring night in and out.

Re: A.I. signs with Besiktas

You really don't know what your going to get from AI night in and out. Another guy who needs the ball in his hands is not what the Heat need. They need another "role player". Something A.I. doesn't want to be right now. Its obvious why no NBA team contacted him. I'm always going to respect him. But he can only blame himself in this situation.

Re: A.I. signs with Besiktas

Ok then, tell me what his role was in Philly last year. Last time I check, he did ask his coach to be a superstar - just playin time.

Re: A.I. signs with Besiktas

A.I. has lost what made great him his speed and quickness, all that partying and not taken care of his body has caught up with him. With that being said if he would have been a team player and accepted the fact he is not a franchise guy anymore he could have help a few teams.

Re: A.I. signs with Besiktas

Dude's making $2 Mil a year and folks are feeling sorry for him? LOL Child please.

He brought this on himself and he gets no sympathy from my ***.

And for the record, no I don't have any problem/issues with the man and think he's a great player but when you look at the whole situation objectively, who's fault is this really? I just can't help but laugh at the notion somehow teams "blackballing" A.I because teams rather call someone else then call him.

Re: A.I. signs with Besiktas

Don't let the media influence u guys. I can bet yall still think he hates practice. It's amazing how the media only shines light on him when it's a negative situation.

Don't you mean "objectively"? If subjectively...subject to what?
