Bobcats aquire terrorist

Sure, we should have picked up Magloire instead of Nazr!

Except the Nets signed Magloire back in July before we knew Sean May was out for the season and that Primoz was going to be a complete waste of space this year. If only everyone had that crystal ball of yours, Collin...

For what it's worth, Mohammed has a higher efficiency rating than both Darko and Magloire.

It'll take a couple months to see how this trade really works out.

 

I was gonna post an OLL to Captain's stupidity, but I also thought I'd chime in on the clay-collin debate.

Clay is right about the contract and the cap space. No doubt about it.

 

I'll do it

"Bobcats acquire terrorist"

lol

 

Collin if you talked to people in real life the way you do behind the protection of the internet you would get your ass kicked every other day. I am glad you have this outlet to channel your inner asshole.

 

He probably doesn't talk to people in real life, he's probably a loner so he takes it out on everybody here.

He must have had some piss in his corn flakes this morning though because I've never seen such a barrage of insults as he's thrown out today.

 

wow, i guess i could just throw out a "supposedly" phrase and it be fact. but the fact is that the bobcats are LAST in the league with payroll. no where near the cap. that's fact. check insidehoops.com.

now you can twist the logic all you want as i've said that they didn't have full use of the cap until this year. but taking on mohammed's salary does not hurt them signing a big name free agent this year and that's what this whole fucking thread has been argued about.

please give me a link to your supposed story. or else, you're a dumbfuck.

 

Pretending that no one knew the Bobcats would need a center might come across as more genuine if there hadn't been plenty of people, including yourself, talking about it that far back.

No, it won't. The Bobcats aren't going anywhere this year. Whether or not Mohammed helps them win a couple of games is entirely irrelevant. This is a lost season, so what matters for Charlotte is the future.

It wasn't from a story, it was from what other people said on this board. I don't follow the NBA that much, so I don't read much about it. The claim was made, however, that after re-signing Wallace & Carroll, then adding Richardson, that the Bobcats didn't have enough space to add Milicic. In any case, it's undeniably true that adding that salary affects their ability to bring in players in the future. That was the whole point behind Detroit dumping him, so that they could free up salary with Brezec and Herrman both becoming free agents.

I'm the same way offline that I am online. Most of the time I get along very well with people, but when they're being idiots I say something. For instance, when someone leaves a grocery cart in the parking lot, I tell them to put it where it belongs. Even in high school I was 6'2" 215, and despite being in lots of fights, sly's is the first I ever lost. In fact, people are far less likely to give me the shit that people like you do on here, and thus things generally don't escalate to violence.

 

I find that hard to believe. I would never take the crap off of you that I do if it were not on a meaningless internet message board. If every time someone disagrees with your opinion you break out your little speech about how smart you are and how dumb the other guy is then you would have to pay some consequences for it. It may not be in the form of fights but since you have no people skills you have to pay a price for that in the workplace, assuming you actually have a job.

 

You are a short, fight guy with presumably no athletic ability. You'd never have the courage to say anything hostile to me, much less do anything about it.

You assume this because I treat you with disrespect, but it is not the case. I have been so successful professionally in part because I am very capable of charming just about anyone. What you are apparently incapable of understanding is that I don't believe you are worth respecting. It's not that I can't be civil with you, but that you have done nothing to deserve that. In fact, you pretty overtly and consistently invite the opposite.


And regarding the actual trade, this might strike some as interesting:

"Saunders is hopeful that Brezec can handle the 10-minutes-per-game, fourth big-man role Mohammed played. He is also hopeful that Herrmann, who is listed at 6-foot-9, can defend well enough to help at power forward. He's not likely to usurp Hayes' minutes at small forward.

But here's the beauty of the trade. It doesn't really matter, in the long term, how they perform. Any contribution they provide would be a bonus. Both are on expiring contracts and may not be here at the end of the season; certainly not beyond this season.

The victory for the Pistons was in the $20 million they lopped off their payroll by moving Mohammed's contract -- a contract, by the way, categorized by many league executives as unmovable. They also got themselves about $1.7 million under the luxury tax threshold for this season, which gives them the flexibility to sign another veteran player this season if they choose to.

President Joe Dumars said Saturday that this deal was not made to facilitate any future deal. The chance to get from under Mohammed's contract was motivation enough to do the deal."


Clay & Thelt, you two can now feel free to eat a bag of dicks.

 

Oh well, one jackass reporter certainly cements it. You win Collin.


Is there some kind of slow jerk off emoticon?
