Bwahaha, Smitty is horrible to talk to on AIM Impossible to ask something that's serious hahah

That's gotta be fake. Otherwise it would be illegal, wouldn't it?

Why the hate. Gasol owns.

When I started watching basketball, I was a raptors fan because of Calderon. Until I watched a Suns game. Nash made me a Suns fan.

So you're saying Von Wafer wouldn't get 2.5 mill a year?

I can tell you already. He sprained his finger and doctors told him to stay away of basketball for about 20 days.

That's true, but in the NBA almost all teams have at least 1 really bad contract, so you can't blame em for that. Also, on where they get their money from, Olypiakos for example is a sport club, so they get money from basketball, soccer, and all the teams they have. So it's like multiple incoming.

The lowest paying team in the NBA is still about three times the highest paying team in Europe though.

Players got way too much free time.

^PIG FLU

All the existing WMP problems that are resolvable are on the internet, I'd say best you can do is google it.

Yes. Stay out of trouble.

Interesting move. I wonder how much he's going to make.

What's updated now? All security stuff? Or also something we can use?

Only been to the MSG in the USA. I'd like to see TD Banknorth, Staples and US Airways Center. Also some baseball arena.

Lol he should be pumpin up the team and put the 6-7 seed as goal, not an individual goal like making t5he All Star team.

720!

Haha, what did you guys say about him?

He's supposed to stay and not play for two years, that's the status as of now. He'll end up playing or something though, nobody believes that that can happen with a player his caliber.

Well, Portland has a future and has more than one good player. Let's just say Cavs' project is very weak compared to Portland's.

If I understood correctly, Brandon is moving right now, so be patient until he comes back please.

Decided to write it up in detail because I know a lot of these things are not known by fans in the USA, and since I explained in the other topic I just made a thread for the people who aren't reading that one. ------------------ Let me explain what has happened here in Spain. Rubio's first option was to go to the NBA, but it's not possible because of the 5 million buyout he can't pay (remember he's been making 97.000 euros a year for 3 years only, which is about 0.4 dollars over 3 years). He sued his team DKV, which only made the situation worse because the team wouldn't listen to offers nor raise his salary because of it. When he retired it, he made up his mind, and realising the NBA is economicly impossible for him this year, he decided he wanted to stay in Barcelona. His options are now down to three: FC Barcelona, DKV Juventut, Manresa. DKV's president said that he had hurt DKV by sueing them so much that he won't play a single game for the team anymore, and the fans supported the president. FC Barcelona made a initial 2 million offer, raised to 3 million recently, but DKV has reported they will only accept offers above 3.5 million, and since Real Madrid has a higher offer on the table, it's been said that he will be sold to the highest bidder. The problem is, players' agreement is needed in these deals, and since Madrid is not Barcelona, and FC Barcelona isn't likely to raise the offer again, Rubio could do nothing but declare he's going to stay in DKV because he wants to and because it has always been his home. (see this declaration in first post). However, DKV president insists that even if he decides to stay, Rubio is not going to play games for DKV Juventut anymore. Horrible, horrible handling by Rubio's agent.

^^Chill, he's just joking. Look up his other posts and you'll see he's a smart member with good knowledge.
