CJ is a necessary evil, he can not be banned.
Lockout!!!
- Thread starter colton
- Start date
Define "necessary".
You need people like him, so you can point your mouse, and say....hey, that's the bad guy.
Don't start asking people to define words please!
Someone will come in with dictionary.com and some crazy idea, and it will go downhill from there.
We don't need that.

I'll believe it when they are on the court, but that is somewhat exciting. I am holding back.

Interesting theory. I say it must be tested, just to be sure.

This is interesting given that before today Checketts was consistently saying that he fully believed there would be no season this year.
So happy.

So Kicky neg reps me because of my post regarding CJ and this is what he has to say.
"Seriously. **** you. You have literally no idea what happens in the mod forum. I've pushed to have this guy banned at least 20 times. Blaming me for this shows you have no idea what you're talking about. **** you."
Wow, get a grip bro. I'd report you but nothing would be done as you and a couple other mods would surely rationalize your wording even though it's a clear attack. But it's all good. As usual, your true colors are shining through. Keep it real.

RSL's Checketts told deal is mostly done between NBA players, owners
"Real Salt Lake owner Dave Checketts said Thursday during an interview with ESPN 700 AM (Salt Lake City) he's been told NBA owners and players have agreed to the framework of a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA).
Checketts said he's been informed the new CBA is a 10-year deal based around a 50-50 split of basketball-related income.
"I've received a couple of phone calls from friends who are very close to the process who say, 'We have a deal, and now it's a matter of getting everything straightened out,' " Checketts said on ESPN 700.
He added: "I think there's going to be a deal within the next few hours or days."
Checketts sounded less confident at the end of the interview, though.
"Obviously saying this publicly has created quite a stir," Checketts told ESPN 700. "I'm being told now by some people there are some difficulties in the negotiation. I was told earlier today that they had reached a deal. Now I'm getting people reaching out to me — one of whom's involved in the process — who's saying it's not as close as he thought before."
ESPN 700 said that National Basketball Players Association (NBPA) spokesman Dan Wasserman called after Checketts' interview to say reports about a deal are false.
Checketts is friends with NBA Commissioner David Stern and was recently interviewed for a New York Times profile about Stern.
Representatives for league owners and players are meeting Thursday in New York for another CBA conference, following a 12-hour session Wednesday.
As of 3:30 p.m. MT Thursday, The Salt Lake Tribune had not received any indication a deal had been reached.
After news of Checketts' comments spread through Twitter — he quickly became a trending topic — The New York Times, CBS Sports and NBA.com immediately reported through sources a deal had not been reached. SI.com reported that a deal might be reached soon but nothing was definite, while Yahoo! Sports reported that Stern had neither brought a completed deal nor the framework of one to owners for approval. Yahoo! added that Stern is set to speak with the league's Labor Relations Committee on Thursday night.
League sources told The Tribune on Wednesday they were cautiously optimistic about the latest meeting between sides. One high-ranking source said a deal to end the lockout appeared to be in sight for the first time since the work stoppage began July 1, as the NBPA appeared to have realized this was likely its best chance to end a damaging 133-day lockout that has already resulted in missed games and lost revenue.
Checketts served this summer as a consultant for the Detroit Pistons and is part of an ownership group selling the NHL's St. Louis Blues. He was previously the general manager of the Jazz, president of the New York Knicks and president of Madison Square Garden. He made an unsuccessful bid in 2009 to purchase the NFL's St. Louis Rams."
