Off topic; business I work for is asking for rent abatement where we are a long term lessee and landlords are very open to modifications. Where we own buildings we are getting loans restructured, lower interest and no principle payments for many months.
Some version of that probably happened. It was theorized on here after he took that bargain of a contract last summer. Idk about morally obligated, but it still makes sense. They’ll even get him for less.
I would love for Hood to come back. Although it will be hard for him to come back to where he was playing at before his injuries I think we should have him play in a Ray Allen/Kyle korver/Reddick role off the bench. Have him primarily focus on shooting 3s in the corner and around screens. I honestly do not like the idea of him starting over Ariza. Ariza need to play next to the starters more than Hood does. And Ariza defense is so much better. They should split minutes evenly though as Ariza is aging
I think your probably right. I mean christ, just look at your handle. Fan favorite wings with ankle problems are kind of a thing we've experienced before.
I asked the owners of the place we leased (he's new) and he said no deal. My lease expires at the end of the month, and I don't want to deal with moving. Aren't many options right now. So I'm re-upping. But fuck that asshole. I've been in that spot for 10 years. Prick raised my rent and wanted a 2 year lease. Eh, anyway, the new lease may be a real bargain in 6 months if inflation starts flying through the roof. I've almost always felt the threat of inflation is overblown in years past, but jesus the government is going to have to print a LOT of money to get us out of this mess.
I honestly don't remember many people being negative about acquiring him. I think some were worried about him having some of the same flaws as C.J. (not that efficient, inconsistent outside shooter, mediocre defender, a bit of a ball stopper) and wondering how that'd fit, while also hoping he'd improve on those flaws. I'm pretty confident now in saying that he improved on all of them.
Did you read this thread from the beginning? If Hood was as good as McCollum we would be in even better shape also.
We didn't pay any April 1st rent. A few weeks later landlord became very talkitive and very open to modifications. If you are paying on time I don't think that happens. Now if you have lease in your personal name I wouldn't want to risk dinging credit.
Look i understand people are dealing with issues. But landlords are not getting breaks from paying their mortgages. If they do get a break they will have to make it up eventually. Opening up dialogue and still paying on time can happen.
My uncle who owns a few houses in the Denver area said his mortgage company is giving him the option to postpone payment of April and May to the back end of his mortgage. So if his mortgage term ended in December of 2020 then he'd pay April and May of 2020 in January and February of 2021. So that allows him to let his renters not pay for those months.
Did you just miss this part of the statement? You do understand that will also cost you interest? So if your loan comes to maturity in 2030 you will pay 10 years of interest on those two payments right? Renters need to do everything they can to make rent.
I was kind of down on him, to be clear as a person he’s always come across to me as a really good, guy. Just as a player I was scared off by how little of a role he had in Cleveland. Was so glad he was proving me wrong, he was becoming my favorite guy on the court not named Dame most nights, so really sucked seeing him go down. So I think I was probably wrong about him, as a player though.
That's awesome. If we can get Ariza, Whiteside & Melo to come back cheap and come off the bench for 20-25 minutes a game, we could be legit! Dame/Ant CJ/Trent JR. Hood/Ariza Collins/Melo Nurk/Whiteside That's a legit ten man team if you ask me. IF they gel, we go into the playoffs the team to beat next season. F the Lakers....
We own commercial buildings and just refinanced 5 mortgages with no principle payments and lower interest for months. Other landlords can do that too. I'm talking commercial landlords, not uncle frank who owns a rental for his modest retirement.
Well yeah, but if youre targetting role players (which is what Hood is) you usually dont want their weaknesses to be the same as your top players. Fit was a legitimate concern.
This is kicking the can down the road. Doesn't matter if it's uncle Frank or commercial buildings. Why on earth would you even consider paying interest only? You are running your business like the Government is. Lets revisit this in a year. I'm interested in getting an honest evaluation on how this all works out for you?
Because revenue declined 50% from covid19, we are losing hundreds of thousands, laid off many people and need to hoard cash so we can make payroll for the upcoming months and keep the business functioning. If revenue had stayed the same we wouldn't have to take all these actions. Ideally revenue comes back, it may even increase long term but we need to survive short term. Refinancing to lower interest rate saves money. Delaying principle payments might be kicking can down the road but with unpredictability of economy, tenants, evictions its certainly worth it. It's only 4ish months of no principle payments then basically 15 year loan. Waiting for our final PPP loan of millions to fund... this program is crazy as the government may forgive the entire loan if we meet certain criteria. Its basically free money that may really help our business. Not sure if I like it as an individual taxpayer.
