that's why you don't screw over a team in da league... remember, reputation goes along way, although we just whore it in here. I don't blame Boozer for thinking 'big money', but in the long run, it doesn't help you whatsoever... can you say Ostertag, the most overpayed player in the league?
As for a shooting guard for the Nuggs, Crawford sounds okay, but I'm thinking more in the lines of a swing man-type... Q would fit pretty well, although he kinda reminds me of a young Sprewell, with attitude to spare. I wish we could get a vet like Brent Barry or Eddie Jones.
Junkster, whose thinks Eddie Jones is underrated

Jordan trusted his teammates... I remember one game during the playoffs where he passed it off to Luc Longley (what a funny center, an Aussie at that) and he hits this 12 foot jumper. You see MJ backpeddling and giving a nod to Luc and giving him the fist... and look had double digit points that night in the teens... I remember thinking, "yea, that's leadership. knowing when you need to be compassionate and knowing when to yell and scream.

my fave player of all time was a Hawk... Nique!!!
Wilkins was the man!!! I remember I would make my brother riled up by saying that Nique was better then MJ... than my mom would slap us both upside the head and tell us to shut up.

I remember watching him blow out his knee live... man, that just made me almost cry like a baby. At his age, you knew that was the end of it all. The only man to ever consistantly give MJ a run for his money at the scoring title.

More on the NY Knicks:
Concerning the trade for Jamal Crawford from the Bulls.
For the Knicks, that trade is a little more perplexing. The team already has Stephon Marbury, Allan Houston and Penny Hardaway in the backcourt. Adding Crawford means the team's backcourt alone would be raking in more than $50 million next year. Overall, the four players would be due roughly a quarter of a billion dollars over the life of their contracts. The Knicks already own the highest payroll in the league, and by pulling the trigger on this trade their payroll would exceed $100 million. Williams (four years, $27.4 million) and Robinson (two years, $14 million) also are locked into bad contracts, giving the Knicks a roster full of such players signed to bad, long-term deals.

if it wasn't for union stance on breaking contracts, these players, if they have any consideration for what's good for everyone, would restructure their contracts to better the team...
Junkster, who figures the players would be all about the dollar signs though

The last selfless act i've heard of from a player regarding his salary was when Jordan donated an entire season's salary to the victims of the September 11, 2001 attacks. There are some players who are giving back to the community and society, but most of them are only concerned about their bling bling, extended posses and their honey-dips.

it's a sad, sad world when only money talks...
I really think younger players are getting better at being an all-around human being. Just look at the draft this year... sure, the talent pool isn't rich, but most of kids were very well-spoken, non-bling-bling, and not all hyped up on themselves. Vets and other stars better recognize that the public is sick of dumb antics by atheletes... Kobe, lookin yo way, son.
Junkster, who likes KG for that reason

Thomas was upbeat even though Kobe Bryant has indicated he will stay in Los Angeles, either re-signing with the Lakers or jumping to the Clippers.

Heat feeling the effects of Shaq's pull
DAN LE BATARD
dlebatard@herald.com
Youth or no youth, it is rather unfathomable that the Lakers chose Kobe Bryant over O'Neal. Hmmmmmm. Let's see. One of them is the most dominant big man in decades and has never had a whiff of off-court trouble. The other has been accused of rape, with a trial next month.
Bryant is only going to regret this decision for the rest of his career. Bryant is Tracy McGrady by another name, and you saw how things worked out for McGrady last season in Orlando with a historically awful team. Why? Because Andrew DeClercq was the starting center. Watch how much better McGrady is next season with Yao Ming.
Bryant is soiling his reputation with every detail that emerges. It isn't just that he wrecked a dynasty by running off a coach with nine titles and the best big man in the world. It's all the diva demands he is making, requesting the Clippers play some home games closer to his house (Is he f#$king crazy). He doesn't want to drive to the stadium. He wants it to come to him.
(Sure, Kobe. No problem. Anything else we can do for you? Maybe give our midlevel exception to a guy whose job it will be to feed you grapes and massage your feet?)

"For (the Cavaliers) taking shots at my character is incredibly wrong, and I don't understand that ," Boozer told The Plain Dealer for a story Tuesday. "I thought I had a great relationship with them. Maybe they're trying to save face or trying to make up stuff and kill my character . And if that's the road they want to take, that's OK."
Well gee, Carlos, why would the Cavs say bad things about your sterling character???

Well, I guess the Nuggs will have both K Mart and Nene... since the new NJ managment would never match such a signing bonus...

If they do match it, then look for Jason Kidd or Kerry Kittles to be traded. Remember that Richard Jefferson will be looking for a max contract next year also.

Well, the east looks like they will find a balance of evenly matched teams now... Shaq in Miami will equalize a lot of things over their.
