Re: NBA Off Topic

The Bulls need to stop taking chances and get a legit shooting guard.

So long, JET.

Yep, he's gone. Sad to see him go, but he needs to understand what we can and can't offer him, and it looks like he does. Maybe after his multi-year deal is up (someone will offer him one) he can come back for a year in Dallas to close out his career and retire a Maverick.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Kinda knew he wanted to leave though

he was already talking about how the Heat could use a shooter like himself this offseason in the middle of this year

Yeah, I'm sure LeBron and Wade will love having ANOTHER woefully inconsistent shooter on the floor.

Re: NBA Off Topic

I've never been more confused about the NBA salary cap than I have been since the Heat joined up. JET wants a long term deal but he's looking at the Heat? Every time a player of decent caliber hits FA the first thing that pops up as possible landing spots is Miami.

You're right. The Heat have 78.5 million committed to next season, well over the $58 million soft cap, and $70 million tax threshold. The MAX they could offer a player would be $3 million for a max of 3 years with the new rules in place.

Re: NBA Off Topic

What about him going to Chicago? Obviously not to start at PG but one could say he would be a slight upgrade over Kyle Korver, don't you think?

If he's looking for a payday there are better options out there than here. With Rose's deal kicking in this year we're pretty much screwed on what we can offer.

You might be able to get those same seats(or better seats)for a lower price than what stubhub is offering.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Nardwuar with another solid interview. Never change, Ron.

R.I.P. Malik Sealy

From his wiki page...

Sealy was killed in St. Louis Park, Minnesota on May 20, 2000.[4] He was driving home from a birthday celebration for teammate and best friend Kevin Garnett in downtown Minneapolis when his sport utility vehicle was struck by a pickup truck traveling the wrong way down the highway. The truck was driven by 43-year-old Souksangouane Phengsene, who survived the accident with head and chest injuries. Neither driver was wearing a seatbelt. Phengsene's airbag deployed, but Sealy's SUV did not have one.

Blood tests indicated that at the time of the accident, Phengsene had been driving drunk; his blood alcohol content was 0.19%. The legal limit in Minnesota at the time was 0.1%. He pled guilty to a charge of vehicular manslaughter, was given a four-year prison term, and was released from prison in 2003.

Although his plea bargain in Sealy's death had not included a conviction specifically on the charge of driving while intoxicated, Phengsene had been convicted of drunken driving in a separate incident three years prior to his fatal collision with Sealy. After his release from prison, Phengsene was convicted of drunken driving in a new incident in 2006. After serving a year in a workhouse on that conviction, he was freed and then was arrested and convicted of drunken driving yet again in 2008. This latest conviction garnered him an eight-year prison sentence.

What a piece of **** this Phengsene character is.

I guess killing another human being wasn't enough to ease up and/or quit the drinking.

Re: NBA Off Topic

Phil Jackson sat down for a lengthy interview with HBO’s Real Sports, with the segment initially airing this upcoming Tuesday at 10, and extra footage featured on HBO.com.
Here’s what he told Andrea Kremer about the Miami Heat:
ANDREA KREMER: Do you think LeBron’s not being utilized in the best way?
PHIL JACKSON: Oh, they’re– they’re using LeBron every possible way they can. He’s such a great player. I still think his game is gonna grow. I still think it’s gonna grow. But he was like Scottie Pippen was to the Bulls. He’s maybe a pass first and shoot second player. Whereas, you know, Michael or Kobe are like, “I’m gonna shoot this ball.” Every time they get the ball, they’re looking to score. LeBron’s not like that. And I love that about him. But he also, when he goes after scoring, he’s also terrific. You want a player that can do both. I tried to get Kobe to do both for numbers of years, and he could. But his first instinct is to beat the guy that’s in front of him.
ANDREA KREMER: Having had the formula for success, for melding together two talents, when you look at a LeBron James and a Dwyane Wade, what do you see?
PHIL JACKSON: They’re doin’ great together. I mean, they really play off each other well. They are doing really well together.
ANDREA KREMER: Do you ever think about coaching those two?
PHIL JACKSON: No, I never– I never considered that, no. You know, they’re talents. And– you know, I think Pat has his finger on the pulse there. And he knows what he wants.
ANDREA KREMER: Could you ever work with or for Pat Riley?
PHIL JACKSON: Of course. I mean, we both have respect for each other. And we’re both basketball-minded guys. I mean, yeah, that’d be no problem. But I’d probably rather have him working for me than me working for him.
