OT-ish: Hornets pass on Pritchard

[OddEnormous]

Try San Salvador down in El Salvador, or Managua in Nicaragua especially at 4am. I almost had a fucking permanent panic attack walking to a bus stop at 4am. I seriously was so close to shitting my drawers I can't even tell you.

Our "security escort", and I use that term very fucking loosely, was "armed" with a steel pipe with holes drilled through it and a whistle to blow to summon the rest of the private security guys also armed with pipes. With all the gunshots I heard that night AND CLOSE, I was so fucking scared I can't even tell you. I don't think I breathed once in the 15 minute walk.

That shit down there, makes I don't care where in the US look like Kindergarten Class with Barney and Big Bird. Desperation down there was off the charts. So sad, the Reagan administration fucking destroyed those countries so incredibly sad.

Sounds insane. Why were you there?

FAMS-
someone real close to you such as best friend or family...........
Example-what up fams whats good?

Or someone that has slept with your wife, which is why he uses it here.

No. Compete. Clause.

Non-compete clauses are pretty tough to enforce in interstate situations, aren't they? And I think that we would have heard from KP or his representation that he was unable to work for a year (or however long) if he actually was.

I believe it depends on how they are structured. If it is simply a matter of Allen pays KP to not work for anybody else, it shouldn't be a problem to enforce.

As for nobody talking about it - they aren't talking *at all* about the situation.

My understanding is that, in these cases, the GM is still under contract to the team...that's why he's still being paid. As such, no "non-compete clause" is needed...he's technically still a Blazers employee, he's just been relieved from his GM position. Many times, the team doesn't have a problem with the person getting another position but, if the team does, the team can prevent it for the length of the contract.

I could be wrong on that, but that's what I thought the situation was. Similar to a player who's still under contract but not being played...he can't just go sign with a new team.

Maybe, although I thought it was more similar to a player with a guaranteed contract who has been waived.

That was my understanding ... but I'll defer to the lawyers in residence.

I am not sure that this is always applicable. If memory serves, VDN could still be paid by Chicago, but he elected to coach the Clips.

"Del Negro knows it will be a little strange when the Clippers come back to Chicago to face the Bulls, but he is ready for the new challenge. That's one of the biggest reasons he took the Clippers job in the first place, especially considering he could have just sat out the season and cashed a check from the Bulls. "

I kind of want him to go to the L*kers so I don't have to root for them in the finals vs Miami.
