Not an example of a player throwing away money for a team. I gave an example of Greg Maddux when he turned down the Yankees... He turned down a tremendous amount of money... You are giving an example of 3 guys that gave up 1.8 mil of contracts that:
1) Are in Florida where there is no state incom tax.
2) LeBron got a discount on a house that Riley used to own so doesn't that count? Isn't that money on the back end? How do I know that there wasn't an agreement that if he gave up 2 mil on his contract they would knock 2 mil off the house to make up for it??? It was stated he got money off the house so no, not an example!
I actually thought you were going to bring up Durant about a player that gave up money to stay or go where they wanted....

You can't trade

listen guys, I was wrong about Chandler. He has made huge improvements and I'm really proud of him and proud he's a Knick. He has a boxer's demeanor and he looks like Shawn Williams from the Wayan Bros, so he's cool to me.
But he's in his contract year and I don't know how much he wants. If theres a time to trade him, its really now where his value is peaked and we can get a great long term player for him. But I don't have a problem with keeping him. He's probably our best ALL AROUND player.
Heres the deal.
I'll throw out Chandler, Randolph, Curry, Mason, and Buike
Denver sends
Carmelo Anthony
New York sends
Wilson Chandler
Anthony Randolph
Eddy Curry
Roger Mason
Next deal
Memphis sends

You can spin away but the fact is, Lebron and Bosh took 5 year deals at less then max instead of 6 year max offers. That is close to 20 million difference when you factor in the less per year over 5 verse max over 6.
Oh and you don't care about a CBS article and QUOTES by Artest? Ok guy, that is what we call denial and willful ignorance. You remember? That trumps actual fact backed up by an article? No sir, I backed up my point even though it was common knowledge and you are spinning and making shit up while accusing me of the very thing you are doing...
Do you want more articles talking about Artest to Cleveland or Houston? Do you want more quotes were Artest is saying he wanted to go to LA and did not care about the money? What more do you need to admit you were wrong?It's okay to be wrong guy.

i would just swap chandler for gallo.. chandler is more versatile and can play and defend 3 positions.. gallo cant..
truth is you can play chandler with melo
but u cant play gallo with melo
giving up too much on the defensive end and athletism
we can resing chandler after july 1
galo will be a free agent the following year and he can come back to ny for the MLE
oh yeah and melo is not a 4
keeping gallo hurts our lineup flexablity
sorry ... just the facts

This is subjective, so it isn't at all factual. You don't have to be sorry for anyone but yourself.
But I agree to disagree.
Carmelo can't shoot 3's efficiency, and we need a legit 3pt shooter on the court. Chandler is too streaky and Felton is okay. Gallo is one of the best in the league. In terms of ball movement and spread the floor and overall offense, keeping Gallo would be wise. He has the best +/- on the team, and he's MUCH better getting to the free through line than Wilson is.

Hometheaterguy,
On a side note I just bought an Onkyo 5.1 surround system and my original set of HDMI cables stopped working a day after setting up the system. I went out and bought expensive cables that are 3D ready (I have a 3D Samsung LED) and my girl called me to say that same issue is happening again today. When I turn on the receiver I can hear the sound from the cable for a few seconds and then it drops and I get a "check signal" message on my TV. I don't get an image. I thought upgrading to expensive cables would fix this but it seems to be happening again. I will know for sure when I get home since my girl is technologically challenged.
Can the receiver be defective and damaging the HDMI cables?
P.S. I have HDMI outputting from cable, XBOX and PS3 to receiver and receiver acting as hub outputting to TV. Before going out to buy new cables I bypassed receiver and connected both my cable box and PS3 directly to TV but the "check signal" message was constant so I know it was the original cables. If this is happening again I have to conclude something is actually damaging the cables. No?

Let me look at this when I get home; at work right now so it is hard. I will have to get some spec from the onkyo. You are mentioning issues with image and 3D... Is your TV 3D ready or does it have the decoder built in? I would try disabling the 3D piece first; see if that clears up the issue. I would go directly to the TV, bypassing any 3rd party appliance as a proxy. Start with connectin it directly and disabling 3D.

It has the decoder built in and can even up-convert 2d to 3d. It has nothing to do with 3d at this point and I only made mention because I went and splurged on expensive ass HDMI cables.

Different skill sets.. Gallo is a pure shooter whereas Chandler is slasher type player and a 'tweener... He is thriving right now at the 4 but he will be BURIED once we meet up with The Spurs or Dallas.... He couldn't stop Bargnani and he's half the player of Duncan or Dirk... Also, not sure how well he'll match up to Garnett or Bosh...

I would still turn it off and go directly from reciever to the TV. Also, are you plugging in everything to the TV or reciever? Are all your components HDMI? Is it passing HDMI sound as well? Some recievers do not support decoding sound from HDMI.

I have all my devices running into the receiver via HDMI and then the receiver outputting to TV via HDMI. The receiver states it supports 1080P, 3d and 1.4 HDMI compliance so I dont think it's the problem. I was just wondering if the receiver could somehow be overloading and damaging the cables.
first of all chandler and gallo have the same 3pt %
chandler has a better all around FG%
chandler is the better rebounder
chandler blocks more shots/plays better defense
chandler averages more assist
chandler is more versatile
gallo is only slighty better at the free throw line
chandler mostly plays the 3.. he was only playin the 4 because turiaf was hurt
chandler is a 3 and he is the best 3 on the team
when melo get here he will be commin off the bench and he will acdept that
gallo wont
come on guys.. r we watching the same team
u cant be serious
Yes. And Gallo is a year younger with a year+ less playing experience in the NBA.
And the better +/- with far less turnovers.
No disrespect to Wilson, doesn't take anything away from what a sweet year he's having. This is just about giving Gallo his due.
not dissing gallo he is good but.....
if we had melo.. who would u rather have gallo or chandler??? who would complement melo more??
You don't understand taxes, or just didn't read the article. Nothing in there has to do with federal, or income tax. They still pay a ton of tax in the state, because they still have to live in a house, and buy groceries, and own cars, etc... Get real.
