Man, nothing like 2 minutes of highlights stretched out over 7 minutes, huh?

Now how bout LA?

I think Kobe is on the downhill slope, and I'm not sure Artest is going to fit in. And the coach has health issues. Now that we've got Cunningham, we can take them.

He was talking about the Clippers. They are still a problem.

Ah. I misunderstood. Still, we have Cunningham.

Thus begins the era of Dante's Inferno. He nicknames better than Roy, Aldridge or Oden, those poorly nicknamed bastards.

I was gonna call him Richie, myself.

Has our friendly forum troll asked the question, does signing Cunningham before LMA, make him more important to the team?

I was going to go with Chuckie, since he'll probably be off the team in a year.

If he gets injured - Dante's Infirmo
If he never gets his chance - Dante's inturno
When he brings coffee - Dante's interno

Yep that is exactly what I thought.

I'd be ecstatic if he could turn into a Carl Landry type player. Good comparison, and hopefully he can bring a banger-type mentality eventually.

 

[BenDavis503]

he will be good

Is it for 2 years or 3? Makes a big difference, birds-right-wise.

Doesn't really matter; he'd be a RFA like Ramon Sessions

This may have changed, but it used to be that if you sign a 2nd rounder to a 3-year deal, then you get his bird rights and can sign him to as big a contract as you want. If you don't, you are limited in the amount you can sign him to - at least that's what happened with Joel.

Yes, the rules used to create a situation where a team couldn't match their own restricted free agents if they were a second round draft pick without full bird rights. That changed with the Gilbert Arenas provision in the last agreement.

Joel was a different scenario, he was signed as a free agent and not drafted by the team.

Okay, thanks.
