Ray Allen to sit out season :blessed:

[hayesc0]

I dont know.breh.. I seen a multi ethnic group burning those lebron jerseys...

I think you missed my point i realize there are others that hate when athletes make moves besides white people im saying as black people we are looking at the issue wrong we should be proud athletes are taking more control of there careers and money and stop hatting when they make nontraditional moves to make there goals.

 

[TheNig]

Who cares. nikka washed up anyway.

 

[Cory MBA]

Be born in 1975 and act as if you can skip playing for a year and return as an NBA threat....brehs.

 

[Rev]

Hope he just officially retires this summer. Get that HOF 1st ballot ready.

 

[mvp_status]

Wasn't he having problems with Rondo?

That, and constantly being in trade rumors. Not to mention getting benched for Avery Bradley

Never got how people said he was wrong for leaving

 

[Deflatedhoopdreams]

I'm old school. We look down on ring chasers..

because he left KG and PP, not because he left the Celtics. Those two carried Celtics, especially KG, to a title and as soon as it got rough he decided to join the team that had just beat them in the game 7 of the ECF. How is that considered cool?

And don't give me the trade rumors bull, its part of the game. Besides, Ainge was offering him a) more money than the Heat and b) a no-trade clause. So he could've inked a two year deal, worth double what he got in Miami and have a no trade clause... but choose to leave KG and PP to team up with James, Wade and Bosh

I would NEVER do that. Especially when I have already gotten a title with these dudes... such a bytch move.

 

[Damnshow]

That sound like some shyt Mike woulda tried if Kobe tied his ring count.

: I renounce my ownership of the Charlotte Hornets .

: I am now back to play game 7 with the Spurs .

: This was a bad idea .

LMAO I want this fukkery to happen, Mike putting up that performance but the team still winning the championship. And MJ standing out there literally like this while they presenting the trophy lmao.

So why isn't him going to the team he wanted to go to a part of the game? nikkas woulda had a parade if they traded him for KD or Lebron but he trades their asses in for Bron and he's Judas .

 

[SoulController]

he needs to stop this shyt. im a huge fan since UConn but this rent-a-vet shyt for 40 games is weak. let a niche player do that, not a HOF

For that final year I was there, I was actually traded to Memphis. I got the phone call and told that I was traded for OJ Mayo. I was in San Francisco to play the Warriors. Danny Ainge and I talked and he asked me how I felt about it—I told him I was upset, that I couldn’t believe it. I said, “I can’t knock you, you have to do what you do for your team. I understand it’s a business [and] there’s nothing I can do about it.” He was like, “Well, I’ll be in touch.” I told my family we’ve been traded to Memphis. One of my sons said, “Don’t worry about it Dad, we’re Grizzlies fans now. We’re gonna make this work.” I took that into my summer, that I could potentially—regardless of what I did for the team, there’s no great loyalty shown amongst the teams to the players, ’cause they’ll trade you in a heartbeat. When they trade you, they’ll tell you, “We’re a team but we have to do what’s best for our squad.” As a player if we want more money or ask for a trade we are looked upon as being greedy, or disloyal.

but he's supposed to just let bygones be bygones & ride or die for the green huh?

I don't understand why people get mad when players make boss moves and do what they want in there career I would only expect this from white people.

For some reason, Americans look down on someone who has complete control over their life and are able to control their own opportunities...

Its envy masquerading as pride\ego

Exactly. That's why you always hear fans saying "at my job I wouldn't be able to do such and such, why should such and such"?

 

[NoMorePie]

The Spurs' are going to have a retirement run next year

Re-sign Ginobili and Duncan and sign Allen

Parker/Mills
Green/Allen
Leonard/Ginobili
Duncan/Diaw
Gasol/Splitter

Joseph/Belinelli/Baynes/T. Robinson as backups

The word "hating" is sorely overused but this is the actual meaning...being mad that someone else is getting something you can't get and attacking them for it.
