Pat Riley: " No More Smiling Faces With Hidden Agendas."

[NYC Rebel]

Fine.

But

But NOTHING.

This Coli Business Review lesson you're handing out is being made up on the fly.

 

[NYC Rebel]

@NYC Rebel I defended my point very clearly. You in here off topic talking about your wife's job and comparing me to house nikkas and slaves. You like 40 years old too doing that

No you didn't. You said a free agent has a superior.

Defend that.....

 

[TheNig]

You really think this was of higher priority than the quality of the team

Yes...

 

[FTBS]

Yes...

Of course YOU do .

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Ummmm...he didn't say they were wrong for doing so.

Calm down breh .



Thank you. I call shyt how it is. I'm not gonna act like dudes didn't collude. I'm also not gonna act like it wasn't good business or they committed some sin or something different from what owners have done for years.

Calling something "collusion" implies that they did something wrong. Otherwise you'd just call it "an agreement".

Collusion is an agreement between two or more parties, sometimes illegal and therefore secretive, to limit open competition by deceiving, misleading, or defrauding others of their legal rights, or to obtain an objective forbidden by law typically by defrauding or gaining an unfair market advantage.

Why didn't Lebron voice his displeasure with the Heat during the regular season? I'm sure Heat personnel sat him down and asked where he stood with the team long term....and he probably like a lying little bytch said "I'm fully committed. I wanna retire here." instead of saying "I'm thinking about going back home. I miss Cleveland." Of course, Lebron most likely didn't have an issue with The Heat until the closing seconds of last years Finals.

Valid point. I also wonder why Bron didn't heed Riles advice "not to cut and run" back in 2010 because I am sure he was consistent with that sentiment. I recall his comments about smiling faces and hidden agendas back then too.

"You ain't gotta lie Craig" , how many times did we hear about reports of of wade missing time pissing him off? playing the four?

Miller.

Of course he condones behaving like a female. That guy was in the SAS/Ray Rice thread last year going on and on about no matter what the woman does, she's always in the right and even if she starts any kind of confrontation or starts throwing or swinging hands or foreign objects, she's still not wrong. If you're planning on leaving them say so. Don't duck someone for a month. When Kareem wanted out of Milwaukee, he let them know. When Shaq wanted the big payday he made it a very real possibility. Chris Paul didn't hide that he was looking to get out of New Orleans. When Timmy was debating leaving the Spurs for the magic, he didn't hide this from people he had been working with for years. When someone does right by you, don't go around behind their back. It's a disappointing thing to see a grown adult act like that and to see anyone defend it.

I don't understand what's so hard about getting this. I'm glad you gave those examples. These nikkas acting like it's crazy to expect someone to be straight with you. Jesus.

So exactly what part of that definition doesn't apply to that situation breh? . Since when do you just randomly wait 2 years to announce a simple agreement? The main piece of collusion is an agreement that is kept secret. The value judgement was all on you. We don't know how their teams or the league might have reacted and they were smart to keep it close to the vest.

This dude brought up players STILL UNDER CONTRACT. OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO LET THEM KNOW IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE. THEY'RE STILL
































































































































YOUR SUPERIORS!!

Now tell me how a Free Agent has a superior and OWES that talk of wanting to leave when they're ALREADY FREE!!

You niqqas are the WORST and c/s anything as long as you keep peddling in the same stupid direction.

What dont yall get about him opting out and his agent visiting with different teams. Was he doing that for show?

The shyt would have been worse if he was up in Riley's face for a month and then bailed on him.

How are you all overlooking Riley's arrogance . He thought there was no way Cleveland had a shot so he gave no fukks.

You can choose to believe it or not. But even Windhorst who has no problem being giddy/chatty patty about LeBron doing rude boss shyt said Riley got it wrong. LeBron's camp said he was giving Riley a chance to convince him into staying but couldnt. Mike Miller and others said LeBron wanted to see what Riley could do to improve the roster.....he signed Josh McRoberts and Danny Granger. He gave Riley a window to make something happen..it didnt. He decided on Cleveland. He still met with Riley to see if he could be won over...again didnt work.

Yall act like he decided on Cleveland months before he signed. Him and Dan Gilbert didnt speak until the Sunday before he signed.

Do yall realize Dan Gilbert, the GM, Blatt had no idea LeBron was going to Cleveland until the essay was posted online

Compare players under contract having to ASK to leave to Free Agents who already have that option and think you're right, brehs.


DUMB!!!!

nah a lot of them think it was planned for months

Which is funny cause Riley supposedly met with Bron as a member with the Cavs. But I bet those fukkboys won't bring that up.

Lebron's powerful enough and talented enough to walk completely to the beat of his own drum financially and organizationally. Fans are also allowed to point out that it seems phony. Best practice generally does not involve burning bridges, but Lebron is powerful enough to rebuild that bridge if it suits his needs.

Either way, when you operate like this- the public will expect championships.
