    NBAtalk.com reports that contrary to his prior obligation of signing with the Lakers for the exception, he's gonna go back to New Jersey for the big bucks. What's wrong with this guy? First he says on Friday.."there's no way im going back to New Jersey. I'm playing for LA" then now it's "Well, New Jersey's offering me more dough, so I guess I'll stick around there." Huh??

    Francis out top, 9 seconds on the clock, he gives a no look pass to Cuttino Mobley, 4 seconds left, Mobley passes to an open Langhi in the corner with 1 second left! Langhi at the buzzer.......YES!!! How Sweet It Is!!

    Hopefully Taylor will make his choice real soon because if he's willing to sign for the exception, I don't see why the Lakers wouldn't be interested.

    Didn't the Lakers release AC Green?

    Taylor wouldn't get Bird rights anytime soon if he signed with the Lakers for the Mid-Level contract. A sign-n-trade with the Clips should interest the Lakers, but the Clippers are probably not interested.

    Seriously...all these players talking BS so as to get more money is really giving me the sh!ts.

    It's becoming a farce. Gill says all this crap about how he wants to play with the best team...best two players...best coach etc...and then re-signs with the Nets because he 'can't knock back the seurity.' (!!)

    I mean to say, he's had ...what? 10 years in the NBA. Isn't that enough time to have earnt enough to 'live' on.

    Even Cat, when he re-signed with us, said "If God wants me to have money one day I will..." Like $24 million isn't anything!!

    I get paid quite okay and I like my job, so good luck to anyone with what they get paid...but some of these guys need a big time reality check when they start talking of millions as if it's nothing.

    Most professional people have to work 20 years minimun to get what these guys get in a year. Comments like these I am sure are one reason for the drop in attendances and ratings. Sportspeople need to realise they live in a priviledged world and, at the very least, been SEEN to appreciate it.
