I hope LO takes it, It is actually 16 mil. because of Lux Tax. I hope his agent doesn't get greedy like Trevor's If the Lakers upped their bid to 8 mil.

His quote of Artest “I didn’t mean to walk in the shower with him. Yeah, I walked in the shower. I’m not a homosexual, but Kobe - he had no clothes on.” seems to be correct. Hetero, homo, hetero, homo, hetero, homo. There, I feel better now. Joel R – 85

Lighten up, please stop being so PC.
His quote of Artest

seems to be correct.
Hetero, homo, hetero, homo, hetero, homo.

I don't even know yet if I'm saying this to be critical of Jhun's and his post or even of Ron Artest himself. Crucially, I can't really tell from the context how Jhun intended "no homo" to come across. I am saying in no uncertain terms, however, that I think that phrase has no place in civil discourse. It's got to go.

However, he is a minimum salary player. If some team signs him, its a low risk-high reward move. There isn't much downside with it. Wiseolgoat- No one covets Gerald Green.

Granted, I don't know what he's like in the locker room or on the practice court, but there has been nothing I've heard or read that suggests he's a hard worker or blessed with even average bball IQ. There has to be a reason he hasn't panned out remotely close to expectations despite being blessed with such physical gifts, right? What’s with people coveting Gerald Green all of a sudden?

And then it will be a vet minimum big (which, whatever you think of Odom, will be a considerable drop off in talent). We are living with Sasha next year, at least to start.
