Never said it was against the rules. It's just something that doesn't happen in the NBA and the mentality behind opting out to take less money to get help is pathetic. They already took the easy way out by taking less to form a super team with 3 top 10 players. Now after a failed season, they need to take less so that they can get even more help. It's the same loser mentality that everyone hated the Heat for the first time around.

Did you watch the Finals? They had a hard time deciding on FMVP because Cantonio had at least 4 different guys who took over for them at different points throughout the series. Hell in Gm5 you had Ginobili carry them in the 1st quarter, Duncan take over and dominate in the 2nd, then Kawhi and Mills closed it out for them in the second half. All while the Heat were utterly helpless to do anything without Bern dialing it up to 11, and even then, Spurs were still keeping pace with Bern's scoring.

To ignore this, and just delude yourself into thinking you can win another championship with a washed up inconsistent Wade as your second best player, would be dumb. No one cares if butthurt fans around the league think it's pathetic, all that matters is winning and doing whatever it (legally) takes to win. Literally the polar opposite of a loser mentality.
 
i have no idea why anyone would be high on mark jackson. I thought he sucked. He always seemed to be giving some kind of speach instead of actual x's and o's.
 
Probably a better coach than JKidd. That's a tough choice though.

Lol @ 19 PPG on 55%, arguably All NBA 2nd Team Wade being washed up. I mean, how many guards have ever put up those numbers? Amirite?

He was able to put up those regular season #s because he was on the maintenance program sitting out every third game.

Well in the playoffs, you pretty much have to play every game, and by the time we got to the Finals Wade was fading fast. 15.2 ppg, .438% shooting, 3.6 turnovers/gm.

This isn't something that will improve in the future, no matter how much we rest him during the reg season.

I think Kidd was head and shoulders above Jackson by the end of the season. Kidd definitely had growing pains, but Jackson was stubborn and stupid throughout.
 
I don't want Jackson to get any coaching job as long as Jeff Can Gundy is doing games for espn. Have to have Jackson there to call him out on his D-level analysis.

Can't argue with you on that, but i am wondering if Jackson is a better fit in Brooklyn as HC.

Not even the ghost of Auerbach can save that team. KG & Pierce packed it in the moment they got traded. Brook Lopez can't stay healthy. D-Will is past his prime and their key reserves are free agents.
 
How the hell does Billy King have a job?
 
So basically instead of taking a pay cut, Juice is demanding a pay raise. lmao talk about putting the franch first LOL
 
As ridiculous as his salary is, even Kooby took a paycut.

Lol @ Bern threatening to leave unless literally everyone opted out, and took a reduced salary, so that he himself can get a raise to the absolute max.
 
If Bern take a max salary while everyone else takes a paycut it will look bad on him by almost everyone. That being said he deserves a max contract, but i don't know if doing it this way is the best idea.
 
Kidd leaving the Nets to get a President of Operations job for a young, and talented Bucks team will be an upgrade for him

This might be my favorite caption fail of all time. Imagine this tub of guts playing guard in the NBA lmao.
 
I actually respect Lelbron more.

Why should he take less to carry a bunch of scrubs?
 
Jason Kidd seems like a horrible human being.

Beats his wife
Drives drunk
Gets Frank demoted
Then wants Billy King's job

Billy King doesn't deserve to be a GM, but damn, Kidd just tried to rip his heart out from the back.
