LeGarrette Jounk, 9/4

So, by now we've all seen this:
Canzano had his usual commentary with three word sencences between every paragraph, and if you look up "LeGarrette" on Google, it brings up "Punch" "Boise State" and "Suspension" in that order.
So, what's your take? In my opinion, the Boise State player did not "tap him on the shoulder" it looked more of a taunting slap + something said. Regardless, Blount went "nouts" and should be kicked off the team.

Ok, Bad BEdge etiquitte to devirginize the Junk myself
But after my 10th time watching the video, I still have the same view: that Boise player was clearly taunting.
Regardless, Bount needs to be kicked off the team.
I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
You really feel
He should be kicked off the team for a punch? Or is it the culmination of the other events that transpired?

Aas weird as this might sound
I want him off the team, but still on scholarship.
I’ve met Legarrette, and he’s a nice guy when relaxed. He needs some help with these issues, and I think a break from the gridiron would do him some good.

To me
It’s a bad thing to imply something would’ve happened. Because the fact of the matter is that it didn’t. I could just as easily argue that people who do that sort of thing only do so try appear tough. In his case he was doing so to save face. Had no security been there maybe he would’ve realized there was no barrier between him and a mob and would’ve backed off. Much like he did when he punched that guy, he backed away from the mob but continued to act tough.
"Intent is prior to content, the question is, does this generation really want truth?"
"Cogito ergo sum" -Descartes
Ummm Shribby
He’d already gone after a BS player, and punched a teammate twice.
It took 4 or 5 people to subdue him, so do you really think he would have refrained him self by
not going after a defenseless fan?
Sure
My point is I could argue that way. The fact is he didn’t run into the crowd. I think deep down he knew that if he made it to the crowd they would’ve mobbed him, and the fact that there were people there to hold him back only made him look more “Legit” as far as how “Tough” he wanted to be.

Blount shouldn't have been at the game
He was very obviously not recovered from his previous injury during training camp. This being said, he was taunted so he popped that dude in the face. If you’re talking crap to a dude with known anger issues and tapping him without your helmet on after you just beat him, you should be prepared to have your jaw broken. The BSU player is as responsible as Blount. Basically, Blount should be suspended for a game or two.
The punch is out of the picture for me
its how he reacted after the punch by fighting with teammates and getting in fans faces that deserves the suspension. I voted for 3-4 game suspension for that.

You’re implying that Hout is guiltless here. He is not.
If you challenge a criminal to steal your CD’s and he does, then it’s kinda your fault.
It is both the fault of Hout's taunting and Bount's inability to control himself.
The criminal is still charged in the end.

He was taunting him, right?
I’m not imagining it?
That was no “Good game” tap on the shoulder.
I know less than half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.
He was taunting.
Bad form by BSU player, but he got his punishment. Legarrette’s punishment may be worse… depends on how much teasing that BSU guy gets for being decked on national tv.
"The playoffs now are my grind. My grind for a championship,'' Roy said. "Whatever needs to be done to get there I'm gonna do it.''
what punishment did BSU Player receive?
His coaches were restraining him – he kept talking anyway – Blount smacked him in his glass jaw and he went down.
Blount should get a 6-game suspension, at which time the Ducks should evaluate the situation and see if he is repentant. Then they should reinstate him, or not.
BSU Taunter Boy should get a 2-game suspension. – Elgin

he got decked on national tv
by a 240 lb RB who is made of muscle. i’d say that’s a pretty good punishment
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
that looked like the mildest form of taunting ever
maybe had Blount not mouthed off trash talking all week he wouldn’t have set himself up to be nya nya nya nya na na’d.

"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
funny too
because of the handshakes before the game lol
A few things.
1. Blount will absolutely not be kicked off the team. It’s a sad commentary in a way, but your best running back has to do something even worse than that many times to get kicked off a team. I wouldn’t be upset at all if he was, and I can see how it would be warrented. It’s just not going to happen.
2. Yah, that Boise State guy shouldn’t have been flapping his gums, but that’s no reason to get sucker punched like that.
3. I’m gonna remain a Duck fan no matter what happens with Blount. Just cause one player on a team acts like a moron it doesn’t mean the rest of the team is that way. Duck fans should feel sick about what Blount did (and with how poorly the team played), but they shouldn’t feel bad about supporting their team still.
……
…….It was a good punch though, wasn’t it? Dude went down like a sack of potatoes. :)
I KID! I KID!
Yes! Yes! In the face!
You shouldn't kid
I think it was an excellent punch, if he does get booted (Which he wont) we know he may have a future in MMA, his form is incredible.

Are you kidding?
His wrist was limper than a boned hallibut. The only reason that guy went down was because of surprise.

We discussed this in the previous junk drawer
It was a good punch, that Boise dude buckled and went straight down. That only happens involuntarily, and not from losing balance.
It would not have likely happened if it wasn’t a sucker punch, but he dropped him.

During the Detroit/Indy NBA brawl a few years ago
When Jermaine O’Neal punched a fan, the foot he planted to throw the punch slipped a little, so he only knocked the guy over.
If he hadn’t slipped, with the running start and the force of the punch and full windup and how square it hit the guy, he would have destroyed that dude’s face.
It just popped in my head is all.
Ron Artest recently called the guy who threw the beer and now says they are buddies
There's Gotta Be More To Life
Is he buddies with the guy he punched, who didn't throw the beer, but Artest thought he did?
Or are they still enemies.
That was the best part of the fight
Some guy just happy to have nice seats getting beat down by a crazy Artest for no reason.
Artest is someone I would HATE to take a punch from....
He man handled that guy in the crowd, and I really don’t think he was even trying….

Correct. And it's not a sucker punch, it is a consequence
If you talk trash to a psycho, you’re likely to get punched.
What’s all the fuss?
i disagree
again, Blount was the one who started the trash talking with: “We owe them an ass whooping”
"Put your drawers on, and take your gun off."
That's hardly trash talking
This is football. That kind of talk should be expected. Would you really be offended if your friend said his college fb team was going to kick your college fb teams ass? No. There’s really nothing at all violent about that kind of talk in the context of football.

If that is the case, while there is still no excuse for his actions, Blounts actions towards the fans may be understood.

"It's true, we live in a beautiful world, but ugly souls push the buttons."
I wouldn't classify Boise State fans as classless exactly,
but it isn’t too much of a stretch. I recall similar things being reported when the Beavers last played in Boise as well.
The fans at Bozo State
were TOTALLY classless when I was a student at the University of Idaho in Moscow.
And the name Boise State is only used by people from that area. EVERYONE knows it’s really Bozo State.

Im not gonna lie
Im not in anyway condoning his actions after the punch but that BSU dude had it coming to him.
If I was bowling in a tournament and I did bad and lost, then the dude who beat me proceeded to taunt and put his hands on me, I would deck that dude. It’s a combination of being frustrated with your performance then getting it rubbed in your face that makes you snap.
"It's true, we live in a beautiful world, but ugly souls push the buttons."
Pretty embarassing. I am embarassed to be an Oregon resident after that game.
A mighty Pac-10 team got beasted in every way imaginable by a WAC team, then that chicken@#$% punch. What a little baby. He was running backward after he sucker punched him. Then he tried to take the fight to the stands, being restrained by security guards AND police. What is there even to discuss? He shouldn’t even have the right to play football anymore. What if the assistant coach hadn’t been there to hold him back? How many fans would have seen the business end of a NCAA runningback’s arm? Get rid of him.

Blount
According to Blount, one fan brandished a chair at him and another punched him. Two police officers and Frost almost carried Blount to the Boise State athletic building, where the visiting team dresses.
“I should have handled that situation a lot better than I did,” Blount said. “I apologize. We will never have a game like this again. … The game as it went on, just got more frustrating and more frustrating for me in general. I shouldn’t have said anything. I shouldn’t have done anything.”
"It's true, we live in a beautiful world, but ugly souls push the buttons."
What everyone in this JD is missing is that Blount talked crap before the game.
If you’re gonna trash talk, be prepared to get trash talked back if you lose. Blount should be gone for the year.
Actuall, Blount started it,technically....
He told the media that the Ducks owed the Broncos an ass whooping. Unless something happened before that incident???
broncos played dirty in the game last year at autzen?
"It's true, we live in a beautiful world, but ugly souls push the buttons."

It'll work out
Mercury problems are the only one I worry about. The others will fix themselves.
Mercury is finally asleep now. She’s been anxious and whimpering since we got her home around 2pm. She is not the sort of dog to refuse a sleep, it is her favorite thing to do.
I thought that was pretty common after surgery.
You have to put a scarf under her legs and re-teach her how to walk, especially since I read you saying that she feels her feet and tail.
You will get by, I know you will. This is just the bad luck kicking in making up for your usual more than normal good luck. Suddenly your good luck will come back, Mercury will learn to fly to make up for her down time, you will get a 7 figure account, and the blood stains will magically disappear from your furniture!
The vacation was great. I think I’m going to go to the Alps soon, still haven’t seen 2 of my german cousins this year.
We've been using a towel
It might be common, but the reasons (a blood clot) supposedly isn’t common. I half expected problems in her right back leg, because that’s where the tumor was and they had to take out some muscles.
I got her a nice new spendy rear harness leash made for doggies who can’t use their back legs, not realizing that one of the straps will be pressed right up against her huge gnarly scar. Oops!
She’s a heavy dog, so it was akward to take her pee. Plus, it’s not a two person job, which will be difficult when home alone…
BUT WE’LL GET BY. She’s home, no more tumor she wants to eat, and she’ll be back murdering in no time.
I remember when I would have to carry Gus oustide to go potty
But he was an old dog. Mercury will get better.

I gotta back up 10 feet when I see the big man coming to set the pick, to get a running start! And then I gotta run 3 feet away from the screen before the big man is set, making him both be moving still AND have to jut out to try to get my man!
C’MON COACH LET ME PLAY MY GAME.
Then I need to drive to the hoop and get the ball just flat out ripped out of my hands before I can get a shot off.

You also have to wonder if the coach will now bring Vujachick back, who he cut earlier in the preparation for “lack of form”.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
BTW, his departure was far more rocky than it appeared at first
In the comments section you can find the translated response from the doctors. It is so funny I’m just going to post it whole:
We were deeply hurt by his attack so I want to present our side of the story. Sasha first commented that the training regime used by conditioning coach was excessively harsh.
Sasha practiced with his team mates only the first day when basketball staff also joined in for the run. At 61 years old and not running often I suffered no ill effects of the run. How can such training be dangerous to a healthy professional athlete when all others had no problems with training.
When Sasha reported knee pain the next day (when preparing to leave for China) I was sure it was because of an existing injury.
That was confirmed by our doctor that performed an MRI after Sasha came back from China.
Sasha did not go through testing before training camp because he was late for it. He also never mentioned he has any problems till after first day of training camp.
Doctors suggested pain killers, anti inflammatory pills, laser therapy and massage. He irresponsibly avoided those treatments so I notified the head coach about it.
I highly suspect he didn’t take any pills since he always had an excuse for not having them with him. He also avoided therapies for the knee saying he’ll start tomorrow.
National Team director brought him to a therapy once but Sasha refused to undergo a laser therapy.
This is also where that famous oil comes in. It was not a remedy but simply an ointment used during massage. As far as I know "dry" massages isn’t really the norm
Sergio is one luck guy.
I have a feeling he’ll do ok in Sacramento (Morti, I would be worried, it looks like he’s stolen your luck… you’ll probably have to look for him and kiss him on the lips to steal it back, like in some crappy movie!)
He's a nice passer
He just needs to learn he’ll have to cater his game to his team, as a backup. I know he wants to play ‘his game’, but no one will cater their offense to his game. I worry he’ll have the same problems anywhere.
But, Sacramento can give him minutes, and that’s what he needs and wants the most. I’m always happy when a player gets in a situation they wanna be in.
I really think Nate was the worse kind of coach he could play under
so that must already be an upgrade for him.
While I'm not fond of Paul Westphal, his style will fit better with Sergio Rodriguez.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.

Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever
They apparently got him very cheap, see below
He isn’t good as an off-guard, so playing both Flynn and him at the same time is difficult. But either one could be a legitimate NBA starter. For that price, I would have liked Sessions over Miller at the end of their deals.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
true
the Miller deal is not bad considering the 3rd year team option, but who knows how much time Miller has, but I imagine it placated Nate, and I think that is a good thing as we would be hard pressed to find a better coach.
It is still hard to pass on a player with a lot of talent who went for so little. That dude is definitely the econo bargain of this offseason.
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever
How are two small, slender dribble-drive point guards, Ramon Sessions and Jonny Flynn, ...
going to play successfully in a backcourt beside one another? Flynn, who reminds me a lot of T.J. Ford from what I saw of him at Syracuse, should be paired with someone who can drain it from downtown and also help run the offense when necessary.
Brent Barry, who played sparingly last season and is on his last legs, has reportedly been put on the trade block by the Houston Rockets in an attempt to move him for some salary relief. Of all the teams that could use what little bit remains in Barry’s gas tank, the Minnesota T’wolves make the most sense to me.
FROM HOUSTON & TO MINNESOTA
SG Brent Barry ($2,062,800)
SG James White ($825,497) {Non-Guaranteed}
FROM MINNESOTA & TO HOUSTON
PG Chucky Atkins ($3,480,000) {Partially Guaranteed}
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=lhtpm9
For the T’wolves, Barry would compete with Wayne Ellington and Damien Wilkins for minutes in the worst shooting guard rotation in the NBA. Ellington is obviously the only possible long-term answer, while Barry and Wilkins would do a patchwork job as one-year stopgaps. The ultra-athletic White could compete with Corey Brewer and Ryan Gomes for minutes at small forward, too.
For the Rockets, Atkins — who’s guaranteed just $760,000 in salary this season — would be waived to save money.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
Ramon Sessions can't play on the wing whatsoever, since he's useless from beyond the arc ...
and would be slaughtered on defense against bigger players. Honestly, David Kahn comes as a guy who’s too easily frazzled when things don’t go as planned and a bungling doofus apropos of roster construction. Kahn is just not cut out for the gig of a front office executive, as he appears to be in over his head.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
It doesn't fit at ALL
But from the viewpoint of gathering assets when your team had next to none, I don’t mind it.
Of course, one of Flynn and Ramon are gonna get stymied in their development. They can’t just drive and kick to each other for 24 seconds with no one shooting it.
Exactly
I would rather have Flynn, Sessions, and Rubio stored away in Spain so I have my free choice for my PG of the future (when we e.g. will have to go with either Bayless or re-start), than with Bassy Telfair, Chucky Atkins, etc. They also have a promising shooting guard, but for sure their wing is their weakness right now.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
To me,
If you’re gonna be bad no matter what, making a carefully balanced and cohesive roster is pointless. Just gather talent. Let the best man win. Everyone will still be young enough to have value later on, if they aren’t chosen as The One.
Yeah, they now can have Session from age 23 to 27 at a great price even if he never amounts to more than a decent PG backup who gets to the line a lot and creates very good passes off picks. That’s his bottom. And he could become much much more. Next year draft a good wing player like Al-Farouq Aminou, Malcolm Lee, Avery Bradley, Xavier Henry, and/or use the remaining cap space in free agency (Gay? Travis?), and that is a team that while still not ready for a championship by far can soon make the playoffs and give the franchise some perspective.

They need an addendum or at least a number 5a.
Inappropriate, Unsafe and Annoying Things Done at LARPs
6) LARP queens. The world of LARP can be socio-political; it’s not always about hitting others with boffer and latex weapons. LARP queens are female players who use the male-to-female ratio at LARPs to their advantage. In and out of character, there are generally less females than males
at most LARPs. Therefore, female LARPers and their characters get more attention. Some players use this as a point of advantage in the game, using the attention to advance their social position in the game. Done subtly, this is an excellent strategy, but when it results in an all out cat-fight or in a female player being notoriously promiscuous, it’s time for that female player to leave her drama in high school.5) Hitting too hard. Caught up in the excitement of the game, it’s pretty easy to hit another player too hard by accident. When this happens, the player who got hit should request that the offending player go a bit lighter on the hits. If the offending player does not stop hitting too hard, a disruption in play is created; a rules marshal will likely be involved. Hitting too hard can not only hurt someone, but can also damage other players’ experiences.
4) Machine gunning. Machine gunning is hitting more rapidly than allowed by the rules, particularly when yielding more than one small weapon. LARPers should be sure to complete a 45 to 90 degree weapon swing and hit in multiple or alternating locations to avoid machine gunning.
3) Hugging. This doesn’t describe a player who is just happy to see you and wants to welcome another with a hug. Hugging describes the act of embracing another during a fight and hitting the opponent on the back repeatedly. In this situation, the victim is ‘held’ and is unable to retaliate. Aside from that, it’s a general violation of public space and also lends itself to machine gunning.
2) Not fully counting for a cast. When LARPers cast spells, they generally have a ‘verbal,’ or specific words used to cast the spell. Some LARPs require players to count before they cast the spell. Counting at an overly-rapid pace or not using the proper verbal incantation is a violation of the rules. Ignoring an interrupt (i.e., the spell caster is hit) is also a violation.
1) Superman syndrome, or lack of reaction to a hit. In the heat of battle, it’s sometimes easy for players to forget that they are role playing. Rules require a role played reaction to a hit, such as a step back. A player who has Superman syndrome might forget to react to a hit, and will keep hitting as though nothing happened.
Overall, rules exist to promote safety and structure. Players exhibiting unsafe behavior during a LARP are just looking for trouble. To avoid making these errors, always read the rules of a LARP thoroughly and contact their staff with any questions prior to playing the game

would you have liked Sessions more for the Blazers than Miller?
Life is exhausting when you are this stupid.
I will talk about DeJuan Blair no more forever
In terms of raw talent in a vacuum yes. But for the next year or two a veteran helps the Blazers a lot.
Sessions has the numbers of a young Miller already but is still unstable in some games, and really doesn’t work well as an off guard. The Blazers have pegged that role of “high potential” on Bayless. Too bad we didn’t have more money or a MLE to get both.
While their frontcourt still won’t be very good since playing Flynn and Sessions at the same time against any physical SG is next to impossible, I like that deal for them a lot. With Rubio, Sessions, and Flynn, it’s next to impossible that they don’t have an elite point guard for the next decade.

He wasn’t bad on DP, he just started saying, “If I was so and so, I would yadda yadda yadda.” He said what Blount did was worse than what Michael Vick did. He said Chip Kelly should be fired and they should forfeit the rest of the football season.

I mean, Chandler just smacked HARD on your BROKEN WRIST, and you barely have a reaction. Just some jawing. Thems is clobberin’ time!!
yup
Having a scuffle is one thing, suckerpunching is another. If Joel had squared up with chandler and landed a punch, it would still look bad, but nothing like if he waited til the game was over and punched chandler when he wasn’t looking.
If LB and BSU guy had got into a shoving match and it lead to a punch, that wouldn’t look nearly as bad. It was the whole punching a guy when he isn’t even looking that was embarrassing. If a blazer did that, I would probably be pretty upset with him…
One of my paintings ended up on the mercury's blog
I had my first show last night. I showed 8 pieces and sold 4. Two were really expensive (I don’t want to sell them). The curator is texting me about painting more, and hanging more…all of it is cracking me up.
i was pretty nervous. I didn’t eat dinner, and drank the whole time… i still have no idea as to whats going on. i sold the painting that is my image. i might need a new picture…

I sold the st johns bridge last night. it was one of the firsts to go. i few people have asked me if i’d do more bridge work, and i might. the red one is at the gallery, i think it 550. i didn’t price anything, just dropped them off and told the curator to do whatever he wanted.

Minor from yesterday
She can keep her paw from curling under itself when I take her for her towel-walk better…
She also doesn’t seem as anxious. Yesterday was the first day home, after all.
I haven’t slept in days, it looks and feels like. She was whimpering all last night so I’d go over and pet her. Right now, she’s sleeping. She’s prolly exhausted. I think I’ll have a better idea of what improvement there is later today, or in the morning again.
And right when I typed that
She’s FINALLY in a deep sleep doing her dream murdering, where she snarls and her feetsies dance.
Her backpaws are moving just slightly.
Last night she dragged herself into the hallway (about 10 feet away from her bed), and laid on her back with her backlegs in the air. She could move them and push in that position, and it was like she felt compelled to lay like that (it’s not a normal Mercury lay-down position).

i also like how the fan that was yelling at Blount ran up the stands and used someone else as a shield when Blount went after him lol.
Southern Oregon is our expert mouth reader
he says the BSU dude said some racist slurs
"It's true, we live in a beautiful world, but ugly souls push the buttons."
Its been reported that exactly what he said.
Its also been reported that Blount didn’t here what he said,
and he was reacting to the bump on the pads.
The fact the BS coach was right there, and they aren’t suspending
him, leads me to belive the what was said wasn’t that deplorable.
Blounts actions on the other hand were deplorable, and he deserves to be suspended.
If fact if he had an elgiblity left, he would have been kicked off the team.
That's possible......
Or maybe Peterson isn’t the goodie-goodie coach he claims to be and figures its in the team’s best interest not to lose any players for their run to the BCS?

I never thought Oregon would damage the rest of their season like that.
I know he didn’t play well last night, but Blount was one of the better running backs in the conference. Now they have to go with freshmen and sophomores at one of their key positions. This changes everything for the Ducks season.
Personally, I think it’s a little harsh, but I don’t blame them for it. He brought this on himself.
Yes! Yes! In the face!

Have you cleaned all the dust from the condenser coils underneath?
Dust bunnies love this area. Insulate the coils and things get real inefficient.
Also, when things need to be frozen, let them chill in the fridge part before moving them to the freezer. Room temperature stuff (or worse, warm leftovers) raises the air temperature which extracts moisture from your frozen foods (freezer burn), then deposits it on the walls when cooling again.

I'm bringing this over from the LaMarcus Aldridge contract thread to see what y'all think of my proposal.
Aldridge signs a five-year, $55,000,000 contract extension with a 20% signing bonus, 20% deferred salary, $10,000,000 more in possible incentives*, an early termination option that can be exercised after the fourth season, and a 15% trade kicker.
Signing Bonus: $9,000,000 (i.e., 20% of $45,000,000 guaranteed over the four non-option seasons).
2010-2011: $6,000,000 (Base Salary) + $2,000,000 (Potential Incentives) = $8,000,000 (Possible Earnings) w/ $2,250,000 Extra Cap Hit (Signing Bonus Allocation) & $2,250,000 Extra Cap Hit (Deferred Salary Allocation) = $10,500,000 to $12,500,000 Total Cap Hit.
2011-2012: $7,000,000 (Base Salary) + $2,000,000 (Potential Incentives) = $9,000,000 (Possible Earnings) w/ $2,250,000 Extra Cap Hit (Signing Bonus Allocation) & $2,250,000 Extra Cap Hit (Deferred Salary Allocation) = $11,500,000 to $13,500,000 Total Cap Hit.
2012-2013: $7,500,000 (Base Salary) + $2,000,000 (Potential Incentives) = $9,500,000 (Possible Earnings) w/ $2,250,000 Extra Cap Hit (Signing Bonus Allocation) & $2,250,000 Extra Cap Hit (Deferred Salary Allocation) = $12,000,000 to $14,000,000 Total Cap Hit.
2013-2014: $6,500,000 (Base Salary) + $2,000,000 (Potential Incentives) = $8,500,000 (Possible Earnings) w/ $2,250,000 Extra Cap Hit (Signing Bonus Allocation) & $2,250,000 Extra Cap Hit (Deferred Salary Allocation) = $11,000,000 to $13,000,000 Total Cap Hit.
2014-2015^: $10,000,000 (Base Salary) + $2,000,000 (Potential Incentives) = $12,000,000 (Possible Earnings) w/ No Extra Cap Hit = $10,000,000 to $12,000,000 Total Cap Hit.
Post-Contract: $9,000,000 deferred salary (i.e., 20% of $45,000,000 guaranteed over the four non-option seasons) paid out in $2,250,000 annual installments over four years.
Total: $9,000,000 (Signing Bonus) + $37,000,000 (Base Salary) + $10,000,000 (Potential Incentives) + $9,000,000 (Deferred Salary) = $65,000,000 (Possible Earnings).

I would love it
I want a fair rate for a good big man, but don’t want to pay for imaginary potential. By giving incentives as a very sizeable portion of the contract, we find a good balance from “paying for what he has done” and “paying for what he MAY do in the future”.
Nice work, AK.
agreed. It seems to be a solid and fair proposal. My thought is that bigs almost always get overpaid, though… he’ll get at least 60 million guaranteed.
Stupid Bargnani contract will hurt our negotiating position.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
I think he'll get 60+ also
Anything that averages to about 10 million a year is a steal of a deal, for a young big you rely on.
LMA will be overpaid for what he has done up to this point, I am sure of it. I just wanna temper it so we have a way to not necessarily overpay for the future, if his game remains what it is now.
But make the potential value pretty high
So he can feel like if he improves, or keeps improving, he will be fairly compensated for it.
I dunno the rules on this stuff though, like AK mentioned.
I got one more
Pay him a million damn bucks a SEASON where he takes 66% of his shots or more INSIDE.
Considering he shoots about 95% on running jump hooks, he had better get his butt inside.
"If the Lakers are Hollywood, then we are South Central." - Clipper fan.
Oh, another one
How many times a game does he go to the FT line? It’s a dismal amount for someone as good of a FT shooter as him, and as a big.
Bonus for adding 3 FTs a game to whatever it is now. BONUS BONUS BONUS.
I think AK is right, making his offensive FG% based is likely better than a 60/40 split of inside and outside. Don’t want him thinking too much when he’s wide open for a jumper, after all, wondering if this shot (where he makes it or not) will cost him hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Sarcasm aside, I must believe there's limitations on what kind of performance-based incentives ...
may be doled out to players. As much as I really want LaMarcus Aldridge to shoot more close-range field-gaol attempts, it seems the most practical way to push for that is by giving him yearly incentives for having a 50% FG% or higher per season.
Stupid people have stupid ideas.
He'll just say
WELL GORSH I BETTER WORK EVEN HARDER ON MY 20 FOOT JUMPER.
I’ll just have to become insanely rich, with a million bucks a year to burn, and tell LMA that if he shoots 60+% of his shots in the post, even if they’re turnarounds, and shoots 50% overall, I’ll give him a MILLION. DAMN. BUCKS.
If Luke Ridnour is allowed to have a "DPOY" bonus
There can’t be any limitations what performance based incentives, because that’s like giving Ridnour a bonus for capturing a unicorn.

This isn’t enuff, I think blount should be kicked outta school and get 80 hrs comm service working with punch victims.

And to think they saw it live on TV, without it being censored or having a cut away...
If a friend or loved one called in sick today and is acting funny, now you might know why.
seriously best part of the game, right?

Since I don't care about football, either NFL or college
It’s the best part for me. Plus the anxiety and kneejerk reactions it has caused.
yeah I don't really care about football either, just wanted to tune in to see if anything "Freaky" happened
I was not disappointed

punch victims?
On 95.5 this morning he said Blount deserved a two game suspension. Why the sudden change?

hahhaaha sounds like the idiots who are huddled over a toilet all night cause they had too much jungle juice

That was in a Blazers workout video with Blake. Like a fancy Total Gym. Move over Chuck Norris.

The Miami Heat want...Steve Blake?

Or Greg's sweet shooting buddy Daequan Cook and the exception he talks about
There's Gotta Be More To Life
It does get mentioned. But it’s less than a rumor, just that they had interest earlier and allegedly Blake wouldn’t be against it. I don’t think Nate would want that to happen this season. Maybe next summer if he thinks Bayless is ready to be the backup.

Hey everyone
I saw Eve, the First Lady of Hip Hop, at the mall last week.
I am available for being touched to be near her greatness for the next few minutes.
Did you recognize her tattoo :)
She’s pretty tall if I’m not mistaken. Like Rihanna.
There's Gotta Be More To Life
No, she was tiny
I was surprised.
It was her though, for sure. She had super blonde hair, and I did see the tattoos. Her profile has a really sharp, big jaw.
I pictured her like 5’9", you know, oretty tall for a lady, but she was like 5’4". And had a very small frame. I don’t think she’ll get much stronger.
She was normal height, basically.
Some interesting footage of her on the internets
You at the Beverly Center?

sooooo.... that happened
I was working the boise game last night and was standing right next to blount when it all went down. Dude made a bad decision, he was out of control. First punching a BSU player then punching his own teammate. Then taking it to the fans. wow it was bad. anyone have any questions? i was standing right there.
Some other media guy there told me the n-word was being thrown around FWIW
anyway check out my pics from the game: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dougall5505/sets/72157622247347860/

I promised Miled that I wouldn't comment on politically charged issues, BUT
Texas has the highest rate of executions in the country, most of them black, I believe. I’m surprised these guys haven’t been “legally” offed before their exoneration.
