We should just merge this with the Demarre Carroll threads from last year.

I say we make salmon salad sandwiches. Man am I starving right now.

It's been 2 days. Get the torches and liquor. Riot time.

DUI is too often confused with vehicular homicide. If someone dies, that is murder. If someone is pulled over and had a beer or two, that is a midemeanor. The "people could have died" excuse can be applied to anything. A DUI is nothing compared to getting mad, thinking about it and then assaulting a woman or child or anyone for that matter. That is a pre-meditated (usually sober) decision to harm someone. And DUI is not "drunk driving" as it can be attributed to cough meds or pain killers or anything that impairs driving. Bud's DUI was nothing. Nobody got hurt. He might lose his license for a while. The two are not even on the same planet in a legal sense.

DUI is nowhere near as bad as beating a woman or sexual assault.

I can agree with that but you'd think they be able to make some room if they saw another superstar in the making. Maybe they can't (I am no cap expert). Just seems like they are half-assing it. Kinda like the team did in the 2014 part of the season (Sick burn!)

Giving a mentally fragile, 13ppg guy a huge deal? This smells like looking back and thinking "Wow did they (whomever inevitably pays him) over-pay". If this guy was that good, the Pacers would be falling over themselves to get him signed. Instead they are giving a "hey look, we tried."

I think after 10 NBA seasons, the statute of limitations on college affiliation has expired.

When I see guys catapult their shots, I cringe. Hey if they go in, that's great, but I don't have to enjoy looking at it.

His shot mechanics kill me, but he is a young guy whose on the rise it seems. For cheap, I see no reason why he can't bolster the bench.

Well this certainly beats the pants off those BK and Sund years where the Hawks sat on their hands during free agency.

Had one good season, sure, but it's not like they were a threat to go to the Finals. But back to my original point, if NYK was such an awesome destination, the Knicks would have been the Yankees of basketball. Instead they are more like the Orioles of basketball. A good season here or there, but pretty much an afterthought. Seems to me like players always mention them because you have to so they feel better about themselves.

Not sure anyone looked at that deal and thought "Wow" other than the amount of cash spent on a guy with bad knees.

Run TMC baby!

Who was their last big FA signing?

Sarunas Marciulionis?

If New York was such a hot destination they might have been good in the past 15 years or so. It's a myth.

Better than Lance Stephenson.

Holy crap!

I really do not see this happening. It's not in Al's nature.

With Dumars not in play, who will step up and take that contract?

Did Teague steal this guy's girlfriend or something?

"Our coach runs the system that just put on a basketball camp right in your face. Here is $1 billion." "You should probably follow Mike Woodson wherever he goes so you can just chuck shots every night". "Hey, we have Lebron!" "We did not sign Carmello Anthony...oh and FREE WIFI!"

$2 billion? His financial advisor should be fired.

I did shots with Charles Barkley at a bar in Philly. He wanted to do a Lemon Drop and I made fun of him. Luckily he laughed.
