    Well, perhaps I could have used a different term

    Still, I think it hypocritical to ask something of a pro athlete that would have you suing your employer if it ever happened to you.

    I long for the days of old school loyalty to one's team as much as anyone. I think the player's new attempts to organize their own teams is as much a product of poor leadership of the league and its owners as it is their self-serving agenda.

                    I am all for team loyalty and building a winner. But who on earth would want to wish that life sentence for Blake Griffen to the Clippers?

                    Well Blake, after your un-ending tens and tens of thousands of practice and dedication to your craft, you win...an eternity with perennial bottom feeders - The Clippers!!!!

                    What a tale of mismanagement for that franchise. The fact that they are in a huge market is the only reason they have survived.

                    In the NHL Bettman wouldn't let Blackberry founder and billionaire buy a team but sees fit to let a known shady character 'Boots' Del Biaggio buy into Nashville.

                    The owners should have to meet certain criteria and effective management to be part of the league before we critsize the players for wanting to be part of a winner working within the boundaries of the CBA

                        Did I not slam Stern for being a market whore?

                        Owners are always douchebags...it's their nature...but you know what...they own the fucking team...more power to them.

                        When a player takes everyone for a ride...and when I say everyone...I'm talking owner, media...and especially the fans (you know...the ones that fill the owners pockets so that the owner can then fill the players pockets)...I could give a shit about loopholes in the CBA.

                        That's the fucking problem with this country to begin with. I'm so fucking sick of people saying shit like that. "Well, that's the way the rules fall...fuck whether or not it's right...it's moral...or it's fucking worthwhile..."

                        I'm not saying that the players shouldn't be able to choose where they want to go. I'm not saying that there couldn't be super teams. What I'm saying is...if you want a fucking league that is sustainable for 30 teams...this can't happen. Should the players want it? Well...according to you...they should because it makes them viable NBA contender. Good luck winning an NBA title when there's a lockout because of all this bullshit. Good luck winning an NBA title when the league starts becoming impossible to sustain because decent players roll to big market teams asap.

                        Fuck it though...it's the rules.

                        So let me clarify...

                        I can't stand professional athletes...their owners...and especially fucking ESPN...who in reality...is the entity that fucking pushes and propagates this shit.

                        Props to the Nuggets...for doing what the Cavs didn't...and acquiring a shitload for their superstar...

                        Of course...LeBron screwed the Cavs...so they couldn't even make a deal...and announced after free agency was essentially over...

                        fuck...and double-fuck...

                        but hey...it's okay with the CBA...so more power to him...

                                How bad are the Cavs? Sterling actually robbed the Cavs...for Ron Harper in that Danny Ferry trade...

                                        We want the same things, but disagree on how to get there.

                                        I think the key is the CBA, which is why I keep going back to it. Take as long as it takes to get it done right. Put the incentives where they do the most good...with the strength of the league as a whole is addressed. The key is buy-in from the big market owners. Not sure how you do that.

                                        You can structure a deal that does a better job of making it harder to circumvent the rules and create better parity. I don't want a team back in Vancouver under the current rules.

                                        I think the NBA is set for a decade of futility without drastic change.

                                        I don't think there is a person on the planet who thinks of Lebron as as they used to before this debacle. That is his legacy. No matter what he does from here on in, that is what he will be remembered for.

                                        At the end of the day you have to look at yourself in the mirror. I don't think he likes what he sees

                                            Remember...the owners agreeing on the CBA is only half the battle...

                                            Do you think the players union will agree to any such thing?

                                            I hope these fuckers get locked out...for two fucking season...and when they come back...I hope they get less fans than the fucking ABA...

                                                I do believe the "Franchise Tag" could cure some of this hopping around...

                                                    The Nuggets appear to be ready to deal Danilo Gallinari...

                                                    The Cavs are in the mix...but what the fuck are they going to deal for this kid...their exception? What a fucking waste that would be...and why the fuck would Denver want Mo Williams or fucking Antawn Jamison?
