Stan Van has done a great job with what he's dealing with. Aside from Howard, that team is not that good. That was a hoe move by Howard, and I agree with the poster above who says Howard is acting like a baby. He doesn't wanna be viewed as the villian or on the level of Lebron, but when this is said and done and he leaves, this will be viewed as being worse than Lebrons shenanigans.

Dude, don't act dumb. You made a really ignorant statement...don't sling it back at me.

How is it stupid or ignorant?

NBA players are some of the most ignorant players compare to other sports.

Or should I also say the NBA organization is stupid. It's pretty much a players league being run by the players.

Lebron left the team that drafted him to go pair up with wade and bosh so they could be Boston 2.0.

Paul left an organization that needed him so he could go play for a big city.

Melo got D'antoni fired. Cousins got his coach fired. And now Howard want one of the better coach in the NBA to be fire? did you watch how stupid Howard acted and looked after STV came out and said, Howard did asked for him to be fire.

You don't see NFL players trying to get their coaches fire or wanting to play for a big market instead of a small market. That's why the small markets in the NBA will never be able to succeed compare to bigger markets. Why'd you think no one wants to come play for MJ? Bc we're a small market. That's why season after season, it's pretty much the same teams that make the playoffs the season before, making it again over and over.

NBA teams can constantly win week after week but some chooses not to until their coach is fired (Knicks,kings).

And that's a stupid statement? That's just my opinion.

Serious question- do you actually watch and pay attention to the NBA or do you only follow on ESPN?

It is a players driven league- because there are 5 starters on an NBA team vs 22 on an NFL team. All of your other points are, well, not very well thought out. Ignorant almost

I'm not going to agree with you just because you list a bunch of useless drivel. Making a generalization about a group of people is what is ignorant. And while I'm not that there is a difference between stupidity and ignorance-- to which you used both.

So which is it? Better yet, forget it, because I already see that you are flawed on this one.

If both of you guys are in SVG's shoes, who's done nothing wrong to Howard. Is trying to put food on the table for your family and has this guy asking for your head to be fire, how would y'all feel about it.

The real prima donnas are the NBA superstars, not Micahel Crabtree. That's for Greg Williams' comment (except:KD, Nowitzki, and only a few others)

Are you fuging serious? Stan Van Gundy is not trying to feed his family, he makes millions of dollars a year. Why do you act like NBA players are somehow different than players in other sports? And why would you pick Michael Crabtree, who held out for a bigger salary even before he played in the NFL, and isnt even a good player?

It's an unprofessional move by Howard but the NBA is an unprofessional league and that's the way it will stay. Not only is Howard at fault but so is the GM for telling Van Gundy about the request and Van Gundy for telling the media about the request. Some things are better left unsaid.

The NBA isn't a prototypical business though. The GM, Van Gundy and Howard know that they are above the working class and problems that affect the working class are irrelevant to them. Van Gundy does not need to worry about negative publicity or losing a recommendation because he left on bad terms. Howard doesn't have to worry about any serious repercussions for asking for his boss to be fired. The GM isn't concerned about maintaining a professional work place and avoiding bias to certain employees.

Worst case scenario they're all set for life with their millions. LeBron certainly wasn't concerned about not informing Cleveland of his decision to leave. It's not as though he'll need a job recommendation from the Cavs later (assuming he manages money better than Dennis Rodman).

The fact is people pay to see Howard and LeBron play. If they are so offended by the antics of the players they'll stop buying tickets. I don't see too many empty seats in Orlando or Miami though. People aren't watching the sport to see decency and civility. The Bobcats' players aren't whining to the media or trying to dictate what's best for the team. They also aren't winning basketball games or selling out many games.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Where did I once say we should draft him because he's a projected Top 5 pick?   That's one of my many problems with you, your reading comprehension skills are very poor (and/or you just don't care to use your brain, one of the two).  I solely used that to point out that me pushing T-Mac isn't some absurd homerism, that at least I'm pushing someone who is deserving of a Top 5 draft pick. And despite me explaining it to you numerous times, you still seem to not grasp how QB's get placed in mock drafts vs draft grades.  They are treated entirely different in mock drafts to any other position, because of how teams generally treat them in the draft because of how important the position is. Literally any other position except QB, mock drafts generally follow draft grades with some team needs factored in.  But with QB's, draft grades are generally disregarded and they ALWAYS put a few QB's at the very top of the draft, because that's just usually what happens.  The exact same thing happened in 2022 with guys like Pickett and Willis widely being Top 10 picks in mock drafts, only for Pickett to fall to what, around 20?, and Willis going in the 2nd round (and even being the 3rd QB if I remember correctly too). The overwhelming majority of draft experts are saying there isn't a high first round grade on these QB's, but they still get mocked there because they're trying to predict how the draft will actually go. That's been my point the entire time, reaching for a QB in a bad QB draft when you have a roster as depleted of talent as ours, does not tend to work out well. And I've never said I'm not open to other players, I've very explicitly said that if a QB or DE stands out come draft time, I'm open to that discussion.  That I'd be open to Hunter as a CB but I prefer a WR over a CB at the top of the draft.  But we're also not talking about the 15th pick here where there could realistically be all sorts of possible picks to discuss.  With the first pick, there really would only be a small handful of options, T-Mac is head and shoulders above any other given our current roster and state of the franchise in general.

      TMac is good, but he isn't pick 1 on a WR good.  Last year he would be below Nabers and Williams.  This year you could argue Hunter is the better WR.  WR at 1 better be a Calvin Johnson not a WR that disappears some games in college...

      So because he's a projected top 5 pick he's should be the guy we draft.   Yet you say the other 2 QBs who are projected top 5 picks are not worth it because you think they aren't that good.   That's my problem with you. You just seem to only care about Tmac. I have yet to see you suggest anyone outside of Tmac. At least I'm open to other prospects.
