    1. Please inform me where that person on that forrum was wrong.

    2. Obviously you dont remember the forum "insiders" here who gave us accurate info, regardless of your hashed idea's that only 610 can accurately report the news.

    3. It was your candid retort stating "WHAT 610 didnt report it, it must not be true" Dont run from your own childness.

    4. Feel free to take yourself to the ESPN boards, Ive been here waaaaaaaaay longer then you, thank you.

    5. You were wrong, get over yourself.

    If I was getting paid an NBA max salary, they could ship me to Siberia, for all I care. I think Steve, the millionaire, will be just fine.

    Thats a bunch of crap! I was getting paid good money, and I would have taken a lot less money to have just stayed at home.

    I'm sure he could have had a "no trade" clause put in his contract, but those clauses come with a significant price. I'm sure that wonderful agent of his didn't want his commish cut that much so gave Steve the speal that he'd never be traded - and at the time of his signing, that would have been believable. However, that gamble to take the money and exclude the clause did not pay off and he must now fullfill his contract duties. If you don't buy the insurance, don't cry when there's a fire.
