Yea being the man is fun, but winning a championship is much better

If that was always true athletes wouldn't take huge contracts to play for crappy teams like they do.

Yeah and I'm sure the Hornets are interested in KD, it doesn't mean anything, this is just baseless speculation. Based on what I've heard from Batum, it would really surprise me if we don't resign him. We gave him the role last year that he's been wanting his whole career, he wouldn't get that anywhere else (unless he went to a bad team).

Oh and the posts on the first page saying "Cho needs to go" are, again, absolutely hilarious.

LBJ taking such a huge pay cut

When did this happen? Are you talking about taking $15M less over a $100M+ 6 year deal? 

And you're using an old Duncan who has only been with one team his whole career as an example? 

And both of them were "the man" on their teams, so...doesn't really work.

Cho isn't dumb in FA? Dude is dumb in everything other than making trades. And, then making dumb picks. 

I know you aren't a Cho fan, but he's got a plan that will shape if this FA works out.  

Jordan has the brand advantage but not the executive skills, and I think he oversteps Cho a lot.  We pay big this year or else what?

Who do you have in mind to supplant Cho?

What ever happened to Parsons? I thought he was supposed to be really good, but I haven't heard anything out of him in years.

Injuries for the past two seasons has ruined his career in Dallas.

And the messed up thing is Parsons will get max money from some team.

There just is not enough good players to go around in this league and with super star players teaming up it makes it even worse. 

Now with the salary cap going up you have to make the threshold so all these undeserving players are going to be tacking on at least 5 million more per season over  worth. 

Thats why when we landed a guy like Belinelli im not freaking out because his 6 million deal would be 11 million going forward if we were to sign him in free agency.
