Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

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.

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.

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?

by MotoMan045 on Sep 4, 2009 2:35 PM PDT up reply actions  

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.

by robrun2 on Sep 4, 2009 1:16 AM PDT up reply actions  

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.

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.

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. :)

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.

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!

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…

http://www.vujacic.net/2009/08/28/official-statement-from-sasha-regarding-his-departure-from-slovenian-national-team/#comment-2400

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

by Mortimer on Sep 4, 2009 12:48 PM PDT up reply actions  

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.

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.

by Mortimer on Sep 4, 2009 1:05 PM PDT up reply actions  

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.

by EvilKaramazov on Sep 4, 2009 10:28 AM PDT up reply actions  

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

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.

My friend that lost his testicle to cancer in Oregon doesn’t have health insurance and was told “he’s at the mercy of the drug companies.” I say let him die. That’s what he gets for wasting his money on his kid instead of health insurance.

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.

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.

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.

Thanks. I suppose the main problem is the rubber on the magnetic door of the freezer. It should hold a sheet of paper firm, but doesn’t. I tried to find out if I still have warranty for parts (5 years), but that was difficult. A “parts trader” wanted $60 for the replacement, so that’s barely worth it. Maybe as a christmas gift :)

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).

*$200,000 for each season he averages 8 or more rebounds per game;
$200,000 for each season he shoots 50% or higher from the field;
$200,000 for each season he makes an All-Star Team;
$200,000 for each season he makes an All-Defense Frist or Second Team (Ha-ha!);
$200,000 for each season he makes an All-NBA First, Second, or Third Team;
$200,000 for each season he plays 70 or more games;
$200,000 for each season he plays 3,000 or more minutes;
$200,000 for each season Portland wins 60 or more games;
$200,000 for each season Portland wins the Western Conference Finals;
$200,000 for each season Portland wins the NBA Finals.

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.

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.

by Mortimer on Sep 4, 2009 5:28 PM PDT up reply actions  

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.

by Mortimer on Sep 4, 2009 5:31 PM PDT up reply actions  

I got one more

Pay him a million damn bucks a SEASON where he takes 66% of his shots or more INSIDE.

by Mortimer on Sep 4, 2009 5:18 PM PDT up reply actions  

Considering he shoots about 95% on running jump hooks, he had better get his butt inside.

by Mortimer on Sep 4, 2009 5:27 PM PDT up reply actions  

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.

by Mortimer on Sep 4, 2009 5:34 PM PDT up reply actions  

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.

by AK1984 on Sep 4, 2009 5:25 PM PDT up reply actions  

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.

by Mortimer on Sep 4, 2009 5:27 PM PDT up reply actions  

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.

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.
