    Question here. How is a user supposed to know which posters are on your ignore list? Or is everybody supposed to check who is on your list prior to posting?

    Re: Breaking News!

    How is that "extremely" misleading? Completing an extension seems essentially functionally equivalent to signing an extension. The point is, according to this report, the team and player are agreeing to an extension.

    Re: Breaking News!

    Thought it was a joke thread about some golfer, just from the headline.


    I mean... good to read but certainly not a definitive source. I'm not freaking out about the lack of extension (and wouldnt do it until this time next year) but it would be nice to see him sign. Having said that, I don't think the organizers of the golf event have any more info than we do...

    That's good news if he is in town. No reason for him to drive all the way down here if he isn't about to put some ink to the paper.

    Re: Breaking News!

    I would think the way you complete a contract extension would be by signing it.

    Or do you think Blazer management is going to jerk Roy around by bringing him down to Portland for nothing and have him miss a scheduled event?

    Still, this is the most positive information I've heard concerning Roy's extension all summer.

    And Percy Allen's generally a decent writer. He doesn't have any Columnist of the Year awards that I know of, but he doesn't generally make crap up.

    Re: Breaking News!

    Completing could just mean "working on it", the article references the "organizers" i mean come on

    Re: Breaking News!

    We saw him on Saturday here in Tualatin. Some friends of ours live on the same street as Roy and we went to a BBQ there Saturday. I did mention to my wife that it was odd for him to be in town, since he's usually in Seattle during the summer.

    So...

    this may be more than just a mere coincidence. :dunno:

    Re: Breaking News!

    I dunno. The correct translation may be that Roy said "Yeah, y'know, I'd really love to play at your tournament and all, but I, um, have got to wash my hair, er, I mean, finish my contract negotiations, yeah, that's it. So, maybe next year?"

    I think it's perfectly reasonable to post this FWIW Sly. Hilarious we have to get this info from page D18 of a Seattle area newspaper.

    Re: Breaking News!

    I'll try to find a link, barfo, but I don't think so. Even in the past when he's not played in tournaments like this (there are a couple of these charity ones every summer, and guys like Crawford, Nate, Hawes, Roy, etc. come back to play) he's been a coach, or in the front row, or something. The Seattle NBA'ers are pretty tight up here, supporting each others' events.
