With the off-season winding down, it's not a surprise Nick Young wants to "reconcile" now that his roster spot is in question. I obviously wish him the best, but I don't buy anything he's saying. He came off as immature and bitter in his tweets.

He's an idiotic moron. His takes were so bad I stopped following him on Twitter.

I think most of us would be bitter in the same situation. He should have just kicked DLO's ass and called a truce.

Amazing how Ding's reputation went to crap when he selectively released that article RIGHT before our off-season trade market was about to begin.

Before that point he was really well respected.

Are you serious with this comment? A couple years ago Kevin Ding said, according to his sources the Lakers WERE NOT making any trades at the Trade Deadline. NBA TV broke away from Kevin Ding and went to David Aldridge with BREAKING NEWS. DA reported a trade between the Lakers and the Warriors. Kevin Ding's clueless reaction was shown in the background. So I ask you again..... Are you serious with that comment?

Kicked his ass why?? Because he video taped Swaggy admitting to cheating on Iggy (which D-Lo said they video taped each other saying/doing dumb stuff all the time....playing around)? D-Lo told Swaggy that he had been recording him while he was doing it. All Swaggy needed to do was make him delete it right then or delete it himself. He didn't....leaving it on D-Lo's phone. D-Lo had no reason to think it'd get taken and released by someone else....as Swaggy didn't think it could happen either (or he would've gotten rid of it that night).

If D-Lo would've taped him without telling him while the tape was running then it'd be his fault!!

Problem with your statement is Nick Young is too much of a puss to kick anyone's ass. He's an immature, lazy, unproductive piece of feces that needs to be released.

What? I wouldn't be bitter. Maybe immediately. After that? No, he should grow up and realize it was his inability to keep to one woman that caused his problems. All D'Angelo did was make his indiscretions more public (ironically because of the feud as much as the media jumping on the snitch angle).

For those of us paying attention, Young was cheating on his woman even after his infidelity became briefly national (sports) news.

So no, in his position I would be less bitter and more self-critical. Of course, I'm not an immature child who would cheat on my girlfriend, let alone several times, so it's a bad comparison to begin with.

Yeah, that beats being a douche bag and then hating on others when it didn't work out for me!!

Saw a video on YouTube where A guy was discussining Nerlens Noel to the lakers. The sixer seem to be looking for help in he backcourt and it makes me wonder if they would be willing to take swaggy, Lou, 2 second round picks and the removal of any protection we have on their first round pick next year for Noel. Would anybody be opposed to this?


Might as well add this as well


Found the link



how about: 3 Way Trade.

Lakers Get: N. Noel & Rob Covington, Will Barton

76ers Get: Williams, Black (S&T), 2nd Round Pick (Chicagos 2019)

Nuggets Get: Young + 2nd Round Pick (Denvers 2018)

What if Philadelphia doesn't want pay Black the salary that he and his agent already agreed to with the Lakers?

What if Philadelphia will accept Black at the agreed to salary, but Black wants more money because his preference is to be in LA and he expects extra compensation to go to Philadelphia?

Except Iggy didn't break up with Nick over that situation. She broke up with Nick cause he was bringing other women into their own house and it was on camera.

He gonna blame D-Lo for that as well?

Sprewell Is Suspended by the NBA

Quote:

Pro basketball: Player receives one-year league ban after Warriors terminate contract for insubordination.
December 05, 1997|MARK HEISLER | TIMES STAFF WRITER

Less than 12 hours after his former employers, the Golden State Warriors, terminated his contract and its $23.7-million balance, the NBA terminated Latrell Sprewell's job prospects, suspending him for a year, the rest of this season and the start of the next.

Also, the Converse sneaker company, which had vowed to stand by Sprewell, dropped him.

"Latrell Sprewell assaulted Coach P.J. Carlesimo twice at Monday's practice," NBA Commissioner David Stern said. "First, he choked him until forcibly pulled away. Then, after leaving practice, Mr. Sprewell returned and fought his way through others in order to commit a second, and this time clearly premeditated, assault.

"A sports league does not have to accept or condone behavior that would not be tolerated in any other segment of society. Accordingly, Latrell Sprewell is suspended from the NBA for one year."

The suspension is the longest in NBA history. The record was held by the Lakers' Kermit Washington, who missed half of the 1977-78 season after throwing the punch that caved in Rudy Tomjanovich's face.




Sprewell's Image Remains in a Chokehold

Quote:

Regardless of what he accomplishes in basketball, Latrell Sprewell will live in infamy as the player who attacked and threatened to kill his coach. During a Golden State Warriors practice in 1997, Sprewell snapped, choking P.J. Carlesimo before returning about 20 minutes later to continue the assault.

NBA Commissioner David Stern suspended Sprewell for 82 games before an arbitrator reduced the sentence to 68 games, costing Sprewell $6.4 million and his shoe deal with Converse.

Sprewell deemed the punishment too harsh. "I wasn't choking P.J. that hard," Sprewell told 60 Minutes. "I mean, he could breathe."



106. How does player discipline work? Can teams fine or suspend players for any reason? Do fines and suspensions apply to team salary?

Quote:

The money from fines and suspensions is put to good use -- it's given to charities of the NBA's and players association's choosing. Players are not paid while they are suspended -- for each missed game, the player is docked 1/110 of his salary, whether suspended for a preseason, regular season or postseason game.



Nick's salary for the 2015 - 2016 season was $5,219,169.

$5,219,169 / 110 = $47,447 for each game that Nick would have been suspended.


If Nick would have gotten a ten game suspension for beating up Russell:

$47,447 * 10 = $474,470



He would have also been at risk of having his contract terminated.

From the CBA

Quote:


EXHIBIT A NATIONAL BASKETBALL ASSOCIATIONUNIFORM PLAYER CONTRACT


16. TERMINATION.

(a) The Team may terminate this Contract upon written notice to the Player if the Player shall:

(i) at any time, fail, refuse, or neglect to conform his personal conduct to standards of good citizenship, good moral character (defined here to mean not engaging in acts of moral turpitude, whether or not such acts would constitute a crime), and good sportsmanship, to keep himself in first class physical condition, or to obey the Team’s training rules;
(ii)

at any time commit a significant and inexcusable physical attack against any official or employee of the Team or the NBA (other than another player), or any person in attendance at any NBA game or event, considering the totality of the circumstances, including (but not limited to)the degree of provocation (if any) that may have led to the attack, the nature and scope of the attack, the Player’s state of mind at the time of the attack, and the extent of any injury resulting from the attack;
