    That's such shit. He hasn't lived up to it THIS YEAR, but prior to this year he was very deserving of his contract - last year only LBJ and Durant were clearly better at the SF position. I'm pretty sure if you went back to your posts from last season you'd find that you agree.

    I've got an idea for what could be a fairly entertaining, sarcastic/comedic spin on this situation. I'm heading out for a few hours but I intend to begin working on it later this afternoon. Stay tuned!

    I find it silly how you complain about Aldridge, yet you defend Batum to no end.

    What he's done last season and this season are polar opposites. If Aldridge had a down year, I doubt you go back and say "he's been awesome last season!" So why change for Batum?

    Lillard snubbed again.

    Take the break off, get right, and dominate the final 2 months.

    Such BS! Bonehead player on a shitty, non-playoff team over Lillard. So lame.

    Of course im pìssed off, but I'm glad this happened. Dame will be on fire the rest of the way. Who gives a shit when you can win finals MVP?

    It would be fucking awesome if Aldridge didn't go in protest

    Do you remember when Zbo would put up amazing numbers on non playoff teams for us and get left off of the all star team with the excuse that our team wasn't good enough to have an all star? With that reasoning, why are Durant, Westbrook, and Cousins in over Dame?

    TV ratings and endorsements.

    No one turned on a game to see MeBo, fans turn on a game to see Durant.

    I'm genuinely pissed now. Can't imagine how Dame feels. His teammates need to speak up for him. Show some camaraderie. LA didn't do enough of it last night when he had the stage-- kinda irked me a bit how nonchalant he was about Dame's snub.

    Casey made a good point on Twitter, if he was planning on doing any events during the weekend, he should back out.
