re: Does anyone follow John Reid on twitter?

He certainly could be more diplomatic, but he's a free agent, sort of, and he's flexing, expressing himself. Branishing his freedom like a sawed-off shotgun.

He's potentially messing with the market for his skills, but throwing a big enough tantrum, perhaps, makes it so we won't keep him, at least in his mind.

I don't think owes anyone diplomacy, but he will sleep in the bed he makes. Let's see if the there's a pea or two under the matress.

you may be joking, im not sure. but that is exactly my point.

He's surrounded by mostly NO media grilling him about his contract and the Hornets. Shoot most players wouldnt even answer most of those question.

I can see why people think he is whining; that's kind of his demeanor though. And he always has that pouty face, ala Ruben Randle. It doesnt help him in this instance.

That was me agreeing with you and restating your point to show that I "get you."

Sometimes, the truth sucks. Beating it to death is the issue, not the nature of reality.

Pesky Higgs boson.

And, yes, they should be happy he's even talking Hornets etc. at Olympic trials. Dude could have said "Let's talk about how America is the greatest country in the world" and neutered them.

How is he being a bitch by truthfully answering questions he is being asked? shite had he said "no comment" you'd be calling him the same thing. Dude can't win at this point

I havent been following all this Marle...but he is being a pretty big bitch

The dude played 9 games last year.

Never seemed too interested in what was going on with the team...and gets offended when the team didnt offer a max contract???

Ok...we'll let the market decide if you are a max kind of guy, and if it does, we will pay you that to retain you.

He knew that all along.

PHX throws a pep rally and he gets all geeked up??

He is acting like a bitch

how is he acting like a bitch?

he turned down the contract, and he explained why. It has worked out in his favor, so it looks like a good business move to me. He was just answering the questions. What is he supposed to say was his reason that he turned down the contract?

"oh i was hurt so I was going to agree with the Hornets and sell myself low"???

Saying that he would be dissappointed if the Hornets match is being a bitch.

He knew all along that when he didnt take the offer last year this is how it would play out.

well then we agree to disagree.


I dont really care tbh...I would like him to be here if he's not a bad influence in the locker room...if they can get a good return for him in a trade I would be fine with that too.

hope it works out with gordon. if it doesn't, we need to get someone that can score somewhat in exchange.

He's being a bitch because he's trying to be a UFA, when he's a RFA. He's trying to force the Hornets to not match by expressing how little he wants to be here IMO.
