Omer Asiks health status

The first round pick wasn't as bad because he did help you get to the playoffs. Resigning him to such a long term deal when he didn't fit Gentry or the league was the mistake that should get him fired.

Little bit of legal advice for ya buddy: it's actually not libel because Asik is a public figure and so he would have show a malicious intent/recklessness in order to prevail. Not so sure that's present here, just a little bit of stupidity on the part of our guy, Joe.

A public official cannot recover from a person who publishes a communication about a public official’s conduct or fitness unless the defendant knew that the statement was false or acted in reckless disregard of the statements truth or falsity. This standard is referred to as “actual malice,” although malice in this sense does not mean ill-will. Instead, the actual malice standard refers to the defendant’s knowledge of the truth or falsity of the statement. In this case Asik may not be able to establish actual malice but the post is walking a fine line and has no place in a public forum.

I'm gonna step out on a limb and say you don't frequent this board. That's about the least "malicious" comment you'll see if you wander through some of the forums

Dude. Just shut the frick up. Asik sucks balls.

Do you have aids?

You basically cut a player and put the money you owe him on a payment plan. If they cut him now he turns into $3.5 million in dead cap money per year for 7 years instead of the $24 he's owed in the next 3 years.

This. Asik does what Asik is supposed to do. I don't think anyone ever expected him to be a crucial scorer. But he's a damn good rebounder. The ball always seems to land in his hands under the basket. When we beat San Antonio to make the playoffs, Asik was critical in those last few minutes. Does he fit into our long term plans now? No. But he gets far too much hate. Though eating their own is what people on Tigerdroppings do best.

Thanks for the explanation.
