You can’t arrest somebody because you think he may commit a crime. If the cops are suspicious that he may rob the bank then the cops can sit outside and watch the bank and if he robs it, then arrest him.

Until then, just watch him and see what he does. It’s called policing….not arresting.

Here’s your speeding ticket sir. But I wasnt speeding. I know but youre in a fast car and may speed in the future.

Correct...but he wasn't arrested for robbing a bank, so that's not terribly relevant here.

Recent NBA head coaches who signed four-year deals include JJ Redick with the Los Angeles Lakers, J.B. Bickerstaff with the Detroit Pistons, and Charles Lee with the Charlotte Hornets.

I believe MIke Brown and Jordan Ott as well.

Welp...

Who said anything about surrendering? They won’t. Ever.

So Trump lied when he said this would be over quickly.

If Iran won't ever surrender, this is a multi decade thing we have to dael with. Fun!

quote:

Ask yourselves: Are these the negotiating points of a nation with "no cards," or the negotiating points of a nation that thinks they have the upper hand?

---

The only reason we're there is for Trump to save face. American soldiers will die just so Trump won't look bad pulling out now.

The dude is a good coach. He will be the best coach we’ve had in at least a decade

Mosley has a .461 career winning percentage. Gentry was .457.

Mosley .368 in the playoffs, Gentry over .500.


He's certainly not as accomplished as SVG either, at .566.

---

We keep saying hes not top 15 yet his win-loss this year was literally 15th best

---

189-221 career record, does that scream top 15 to you?

quote:

---

That's fine if you feel that way. There were reports that Mosley was their #1 guy if he became available and that's how it played out. If he was Dumars wanted Mosley, he's going to cave to any leverage Mosley has.

---

Right. So sure, you're correct, that IS leverage...IF Mosley is your only option, and you're not willing to look at other guys if you can't get a deal that works for this franchise and you're willing to put Mosley ahead of what's best for the franchise.

If he's your buddy and he's been the guy you've been looking at since Nov, and once he was fired, you knew all along he was the guy you were hiring no matter what, then yes, that is leverage.

quote:

---

It wasn't here's an offer. Take it or leave it. It was more in line with a what would it take to get you to sign the dotted line.

---

That should be causing major red flags to go off right now.

quote:

So everything is fine and dandy?

---

That's been Chad's stance over this entire 2 year span where we've won less than 50 games.


And Gayle is not cheap either, that too!!!

quote:

---

His leverage is his current contract with Orlando

---

That should give him zero leverage over the Pels.

quote:

---

He's getting paid for the next two years regardless so he doesn't have to take a job now

---

Cool, then don't take the job now.



We're using the term "leverage" in a situation where it only works if the Pels HAVE to hire this guy, which they did not.

Pels leverage should have been moving on to the next candidate if he wouldn't take anything less than 5 years. But as we know, the Pels had this in the works since November, so he could get whatever he wanted because he was the only coach we really wanted.

quote:

---

Right or wrong, he had the leverage in the negotiation

---

He really didn't, unless you assume the Pels could not walk away.

quote:

---

you are saying a bunch of fricking nonsense.

---

No, you just can't comprehend what I'm saying.

quote:

---

yeah cause you are so fricking wise

---

Considering you just completely whiffed on my entire premise, yea you kinda proved that point.



Now get madder and curse more, that'll really help make your points.
