    Oh. I used to visit a site where you had to type in blue if you were joking. That way you could get a good read on people. It’s tough on the internet to get a feel for people you don’t know. Hope there is not a lot of rude types here. I just want to talk basketball.

    It's green for sarcasm here, but we like drama on this forum so we like to let people guess if we're joking or not!

    In all seriousness, we're really good at talking ball. Better than Talkin' Ball, and wherever forum you migrate from. Welcome to the light.

    It's very slow basketball wise now. So more drama until we start getting real information. Most of that drama turns into heated opinions once the real information is here.

    That's the stupidest thing I've ever read. What kind of moron would make a statement like that?

    He’s not going to give up on the $36million he is still owed. He will retire if they buy out his contract and pay him full sum though, I think. I don’t know how that works regulations wise though.

    They could waive and stretch his salary:

    details here:

    Or, if they don't need the roster spot, they could just suck it up and continue to pay him not to play, which would get him off the books much sooner and create a large expiring contract to possibly be used in a future trade.

    I really enjoy watching Talkn Ball. They really have a keen sense of the game and really help break down what happened. Love the hosts as well.

    I am looking forward to discussing all things basketball with you fellow members. I hope the heated opinions are at least somewhat civil.

    You seem like a nice guy. But I’ve had two people send me a private message warning me about you.
