Offseason Thread part VI: Return of the Lockout

[Butterfly 3]

Very slim, and at this point I don't give a ****. Just leave with a little dignity instead of trashing EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING but yourself. When is the last time we heard a player talk so much **** about a team that he is still on? ***** him.

 

 

 

You said so well. Blaming the fans for not being loud enough. Now I know exactly now the cavs fans felt last summer.

I think that is a valid point. When Dwight leaves, I think SVG will do the same. Mike Brown will be fired out of the blue, and you know the rest.

Orlando Magic free agent Earl Clark(notes) has reached agreement on a one-year contract with Zhejiang of the Chinese Basketball Association, league sources told Yahoo! Sports.

 

The deal will pay Clark in the “high six figures,” one source said.

 

Clark, a 6-foot-10 forward, has played 93 games for the Magic and Phoenix Suns in parts of two NBA seasons. He will stay the full season in China without an out clause to return to the NBA should the league-imposed lockout end.

aww man that sucks. Wish Clark the best, hopefully he can prove something out there.

Sucks about Earl, but I figured he was done here after we got Justin Harper.

[Harklessonfire 40]

EC's gonna tear it up in China. He can finally stretch his legs out on the court and prove his worth. Afro samurai baby

Melodramatic and incredibly self-obsessed?

[Magicman28 295]

I feel the same way. Give me a GM who actually knows what hes doing

 

 

Fixed

Those of you acting like this is the first time Dwight has said anything about the crowd noise are funny. He's been pretty consistent in that complaint, and who can blame him. It's not like people here on the forum haven't complained about the exact same thing. How many people have commented on how dead the Miami crowd is/was during the last regular season?

It's more of the fact that he wants to complain about the noise and the fans yet not say he wants to be here or sign an extension. If he signed the extension I'm pretty sure no one would give a damn about him complaining about anything.

 

Nothing's worse than a player that trashes the fan base then leaves their franchise in the dust to rot for another 6 years

He hasn't done that. He's a current player who is commenting on the fan noise in the arena for the team he plays for. He hasn't left his "franchise in the dust to rot for another 6 years". He still plays for the Magic. You're just being ridiculous.

 

Stop being such a baby. If you're going to get mad at the guy, at least do it over things that have already happened.

 

And this is a pretty big point, but seriously people: if he doesn't want to play here any more, HE DOESN'T *****ING HAVE TO.

 

Company/brand loyalty is admirable, but I'm not going to keep my job if I think I can get a better one somewhere else, and it's completely goddamn ridiculous to expect something different from someone else.

I wouldn't go that far.
