As expected, The Dirkinator reups with Dallas on a 3 year deal for $30 Mil per Marc Stein.

Fair deal all around. Can't wait to see what Dallas can do with other free agents

Then why bother with those 2 statements about taking less money and winning???

You're acting like I put words in dude's mouth.

He's also said he wanted to be in NYC bc that's where his wife is from, that's where he's from (whatever), he doesn't want to pull his kids out of school bc he hated when that happened to him when he went from NY to Baltimore, etc.

The guy was born in NY, went to school at Syracuse, married a woman from NY and said he wanted to be traded back to NY... I don't think it's much of a stretch to say he likes NY.

But what if he feels New York has a chance to win, obviously not next year, but we don't know what's being pitched at him.

It's not like the guy is a 35 year old ring chaser and this is his one last year to get it done.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

He says he doesn't want to wait. He wants to win NOW. That it's the most important thing to him at this point in his career.

Anyone in this forum and anyone who pays attention to the NBA, knows those guys aren't even close to a title. I'm not trying to be mean about it, it's just the truth.

I'm just saying, for him to make those specific statements and then IF he was to go back, is just ****ty. It's not like this dude is a 23-year old kid or something where you could just chalk it up to immaturity.

Yes......I'm begging and I'm desperate for him to come here. lol

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

This is the same guy who's gotten upset at Athletes just saying "No comment" in the past lol

Remember that when it comes to ThreeKing and his issues in regards to player comments.

Players say crap all the time they don't mean. Now all of a sudden their comments hold weight? Plus there are other situations he can win now in, not just in Chicago. So will you applaud him when he leaves New York but doesn't come to us but still stuck to his word? Nah.

He ain't coming man. Never was.

Nah, dude.

He's said these things on MULTIPLE occasions. He's been basically saying it since the All-Star break.

Still think he's coming here.

If he goes to anywhere but NY, I'll understand. But if he stays there, then he's ALL TALK.

He's also said this:

“Without a doubt,” Anthony said. “Any opportunity I have to build that up in New York, I’d do it. I told people all the time, always say, if it takes me taking a pay cut, I’ll be the first one on Mr. Dolan’s steps saying, ‘Take my money and let’s build something strong over here.’ ”

And this:

"Absolutely,'' Anthony said. "This is something that when that time comes during the offseason I will definitely explore. Does that mean I'm not coming back to New York? Not at all. But it's definitely an opportunity I'm willing to explore and experience . . . but that not whatsoever means that I'm not coming back to New York or I don't want to be here in New York.
"At the end of the day, I don't want to go anywhere, I don't plan on going anywhere. But when that time comes, I'll deal with that situation.''

On multiple occasions as well, but at the end of the day....they're still just words. Like 13 said, players say stuff like this all the time and 90%, it's just stuff they know the fans WANT to hear.

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

You never know what you'll do until you're in a situation. He could've very well felt like that at the time

Re: 2014 Off-Season Thread

Man, the length some of you guys will go to, to defend these guys.

It's kinda creepy. lol

You're looking at the situation like he knew exactly what he was going to do months ago. Everything he has said in every interview may have been true... and it may have been how he felt at the moment, it may have been a way of trying to be non-committal, may have been completely blowing smoke to get people to stop asking him about it. He may be weighing everything and we have no idea what the most important piece is to him and his family. I will say one thing though, he has made it very clear that there are more reasons than just money that would make him want to stay in NY.
