Can NBA players restructure contracts the way that nfl players can? If so, Kobe's contract does not have to be the killer.

To me, Brown was the wrong call, but ultimately did no harm. He was also a bad hire, but that '11 team wasn't good enough to win. They had a chance at the reset button last year with Phil leading that '12 squad, and blew it. That and hiring MDA are the different sides of the same mistake, IMO.

Can't restructure. He's locked into that deal for 2 years. It is the killer.

Or they can just spend the billions from TimeWarner and go over the cap and say f**k it like Jerry used to do.

CBA is different now. They can do that with their own guys, not outside guys.

Jerry would find a way. Get them here, then pay them. Simple plan. Ready, BREAK!

They have to out-lose the Jazz and Celtics by 3 games to take sole ownership of that #4 seed in the Race to the Bottom. That also gives them a great crack at a top 3 seed.

Good thing is Jazz play the Magic soon and Celtics play the 76ers one more time. They just need to find a way to win a couple more games.

Played just good enough to keep it fun to watch, but they did the right thing in the end and fell apart. lol

And that was a b******t move the wizard player pulled on swaggy-p that caused the scuffle at the end. That twist the arm s**t is the same type of cheap s**t the seahawks to to hurt people.

I'm pretty sure they marched him out there to save face from the obvious tank job. He said he was ready to play weeks ago. They were probably like "f**k, if he's not gonna s**t up about it, I guess we gotta play him". Not like it matters. lol
