    Yup. They're rarely held accountable when they spew BS reporting, which is why their egos are through the roof

    Vince Goodwill is a clown. If Yahoo! had any integrity, they'd suspend him.

    Yea, I fairly frequently encounter people talking about restructuring contracts.

    Salary cap FAQ, question #59
    http://www.cbafaq.com/salarycap.htm#Q59

    "Only teams under the cap can renegotiate a contract, and the salary in the then-current season can be increased only to the extent that the team has room under the cap (and cannot increase the player's salary beyond the maximum salary). A renegotiation can only be used to provide a salary increase -- players can't take a "pay cut" in order to create more cap room for the team."

    If the Chinese won't let us restructure- more tariffs. I heard these things were good and easy to win anyway.

    CP doesn't want 2 leave Houston. He just wants James to care when someone else has the ball. Shouldn't that be a easy fix?

    The good news is that I think all this media talk just gives Harden and CP3 more incentive to make them eat their words.

    More than anything, I think this destroys any credibility Vincent Goodwin could have going forward. You need at least two sources for each claim. Therefore, he either used only one source, has multiple bad sources, or completely made the whole thing up. How can he still have a job? Dan Rather had built up much more goodwill* over his career and couldn't keep his job.

    If some of you are smart you never ever post another tweet or article from people who were claiming this was unsalvageable, they hate each other, Chris demanded a trade etc

    Garbage stuff like that should not be given a sec of your life.

    It was obvious it was a pile of over the top nonsense from Goodwill. Paul would get a rookie to intentionally **** up hardens routine on the shoot around. I mean common. Not talking for months really.?

    Yet that Goodwill POS still has a job. I wonder what they have to say during an interview to get a job in sports "journalism" and what actually are the requirements? Be a good liar? Make **** up that will sell? Like working for a trashy tabloid type of deal?

    Unfortunately the times only stars and superstars can change the course of a series might be over.

    We saw what Van Vleet and Siakam can do to a series. Role players.

    Also 21-22 yr old 6th man Harden changed the Spurs series.

    Mending things between stars isn't the only way. We should get less Top heavy in the future!

    Well, Morey isn't going down your path, he would let the media believe the Rockets are/should be the favorites to win the West.

    They spoke on Father's day

    Morey gets them both on a conference call
    CP3: Hey James - happy Father's day
    JH: huh?
    CP3: oh sorry, thought you were a new dad and breastfeeding?
    JH: Not a dad, was too busy playing good basketball
    CP3: show me da manboobies!!
    JH: (weeps like a baby_
    Morey hangs up.
    Turning to Tilman
    Morey: I think we're good?
    TF: Yup - let's add another combustible personality in Jimmy Buckets to the squad. Make it happen or you're fired.
