Roger Braille Buyout Problems (merged)

[nightmare3983]

From that link: "We had a buyout in place early in the summer. The Jazz never officially presented it to me."

Translation: "After I told the Jazz that I wasn't going to accept the buyout, they didn't make their offer official."

You've got some sweet interpreting skills.

WTH is going on with this?

Jazz are in control still. Raja wants most of his money in the buyout, Jazz say 'fine, if we pay you you stay on our roster. No new team for him, no chance to be 'the man' or to at least get time on the floor. If Raja wants to play, he accepts the Jazz's buyout. The Jazz rarely have fifteen players anyway, so no roster spot is being wasted, and if they suddenly need the space: BAM the buyout happens.

New question: has Roger Braille become a bigger joke than Kosta "BoomBi***es" Koofus?

Great question..... somebody should make a poll on which is funnier.
For me it is really really close but i like roger braille joke a little bit better

Break him. Make him come back run two a days or whatever. Fine him for being out of shape. Make him sit in a suit behind the bench. Never let him near the court. Have the cameras focus in on him at awkward times. Send Steve Brown to ask him questions like " what is it like to be a proud veteran sitting here watching these young guys make mistakes?" In all press releases spell his name Roger. Send him to Lake Point, American Fork and Syracuse to hand out tickets and meet the common man fans, let the people have a chance to talk with him. Move his locker to the far end of the room next to a noisy air vent, instead of a name plat scratch something on duct tape. Post that subway commercial on you-tube, send the link to Kobe. Tell him he is going to play, let him warm up and then just before tip off tell him never mind put your suit back on . Tell the parking lot attendant to leave his car in the snow, not to scrape the windshield and never warm it up. Fine him whenever he is late to practise or team meetings. When he asks for a sit down with KOC, schedule it for 5:30 Am the morning after a long road trip, or at 1:45 in the middle of three off days. Tell him KOC was called away at the last minute, but Randy Rigby wants to talk with him for two hours. Have the road manager lose his hotel key a couple times. Hey has anybody seen Roger's suitcase? Have the front desk give him a courtesy wake up call at 5 am. Or send the groupies to his room while he's on the phone talking to home. Have his wife's free seats be on row 43 in the nw corner of ESA. Give the rest of the tickets in row 43 and all of row 42 to junior jazz teams.

At the trade deadline give Toronto a 2nd round pick and cash to take him. Raja will love having to get a visa and pay all those taxes. Fine him if he doesn't report.

Wanted to bump this bad boy. This post has stayed in my mind for years, particularly “Hey, has anybody seen Roger’s suitcase?” I had been wondering who originally posted it so I went searching. Finally stumbled on it with the keyword “suitcase.” Would rep again.

My land, was I ever salty that day.

I can't recall what was happening in my life in 2012, but I'm feeling better now.

As a post script, I have no hard feelings, and wish Roger and his family well.
