For the first time ever, I'm going to write a post as if it was actually going to be read by the player I'm talking about:
Gordon,
You signed a trade kicker with Charlotte, braugh? You ****ing serious? You'll be rich as ****, but you better thank your lucky stars that the Utah Jazz matched and saved you from being stuck in maggot-infested pile.
Now, despite the fact that you have some weird holes in your game (can't drive; can't shoot off the dribble), I actually like a lot of the things you do. Hi-five.
How the **** did you get a max contract? Why the **** did you marry an eighteen-year old just to get back at your ex-girlfriend? I'm much older than you, and I'd like to tell you to get over it and earn that check. I was mad when they matched and I'd like not to be.
Cheers,
NAOS

What, you don't like my opinion so you don't want me posting?
Name calling should only be allowed after 10 posts have been approved by SerpticoNJ, troutbum, dwillpawnosaurus, box, NAOS and a few others. I don't like that particular opinion, but keep posting that greedy crap bro.

If the Jazz are happy with the contract, then I have no room to bitch. I will never complain about his pay unless it costs us quality players (like Matthews) or it influences the coach's play calling. I remember when Sloan implemented plays for AK just to give him touches and make him happy, but even Sloan abandoned it after a few weeks because giving AK touches meant the same as giving the other team more possessions.

There is always this possibility of us killing him if he doesn't live up to the sheet. What happens when a player die? What happens to the cap space?

"I think the commitment shows how much the Jazz believe in me, and what they think I mean to their franchise. That’s a really good feeling for me, knowing that they stand behind me. To be able to play there at least another three or four years and be one of their centerpieces is something I’m looking forward to."
Anyone concerned about this comment? I'd expect somewhere in the blog for him to say he wants to play a long time in Utah, help win a championship, etc. He doesn't. Jazz need to Kevin Love him in 2 years.

If by "Kevin Love him" you mean trade him for Wiggins, then I'm down.
Why does this guy always speak as if he's detached from the organization? "They", "There"... I don't like to buy too much into this stuff but the way he talks makes him sound like [size] HUGE [fixed]'s signature.

I was all against offering that ridiculous amount of money for a kid who hasn't yet proven that he's worth it. Now that he's back, I'm in stand-by mode, just waiting to see if he delivers. If he doesn't we may have some problems trying to get back his money's worth... that or swallow his whole contract. I'm trying to stay positive about it, we'll see...

It's almost like "Boozer speak." Carlos never really mentioned being part of a team, just that he wanted to "have fun."
That's why I'm somewhat alarmed. Of course, he was also MISERABLE last season. So maybe his attitude changes once the team is playing up-tempo, the offense is flowing and the Jazz are winning a few more games.

Reminds me of Kelly Tripucka back in the day. I remember after a Jazz win (I think it was against the Lakers), Hot Rod or someone asked him in the post game interview, "How does it feel for the Jazz to get a win like this?", Tripucka replied, "It was a good win for them". Soon after, his *** was traded...
I was able to get my hands on a portion of the super secret transcript of a conversation between DL, KOC and GH after Hayward sent over the Hornets offer sheet.

Sports fans are so silly at times. So Hayward's greedy for doing what nearly anybody else would do--maximize their income if such is possible? He played squarely within the rules and played them perfectly. I think this should engender more admiration than hate.
So, Kanter28, if your boss offered you a crapload of money more than you're currently making, even if you down inside felt you might not be worth it, you'd turn it down?
