Forgive my ignorance but what's dumb about that? They put potential success ahead of money. Sounds fair enough.

Kobe needs to GTFO or take a paycut surely. He's basically preventing Lakers from being competitive again isn't he?

The concept of a salary cap is dumb, I'm not talking about taking pay cuts to play together. Hell, I would if I was in their position.

They have cap space to sign one max free agent next season. I doubt LeBron would leave Miami, but Melo could be an option if he decides to leave the Knicks and doesn't go to Chicago.
Kobe deserves all the money he gets, quite frankly.

I disagree with this. James McCarthy needs to be somewhere on the list.

McCarthy should be on there over Puncheon, I think (who has scored lots recently but has been part of a massive team effort. First list is alright. Demichelis has improved a lot recently.

You eventually get a job. You eventually hate your life. You eventually approaching 30. You pay tax. You think about how little any of your education actually meant in the long run. You notice moles and bumps on your body that weren't there before. You start assuming every time you're ill it's really serious. It must be cancer this time. I'm dying, I'm definitely going to die this time. You don't die, your misery is prolonged.

is this it?

is this really it?

Watch_Dogs is a Ubisoft open-world game, there's no indication that it will be good. Wait for impressions before buying it. Get NBA 2K14 instead and come play with me.

LeBron, Wade and Bosh didn't even take that much of a pay cut; there's a hard cap on the "max" contract a player can get anyways through the CBA—it really just means the bit-part role players like Ray Allen have to take pay cuts in order to chase championships, but that's why players join the Heat at the end of their career. also, the NBA has a soft cap (unlike the NFL) so teams can re-sign their superstars to those max contracts but not necessarily add free agents, but if they go over the cap, they'll have to pay a luxury tax. the tax is pretty substantial, compared to the cap, but no team has ever won the championship without paying it.

wouldn't be surprised if Melo goes to Houston—no income tax in Houston = he can sign a contract less than the max without taking a financial hit

Then go for the 2nd controller version, the battery life sucks and you would use the 2nd controller.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
Speaking ahead of Sunday's final game of the season against Aston Villa, Sherwood said: "I've had a lot of players coming to me saying 'Our agents have told us you're not going to be here next season'. It's a very difficult situation but I've just got on with it."

"When you have a supply teacher comes into a school, sometimes they're not treated with the respect of a head teacher."

Harden, Howard and Melo sounds interesting. Still don't think they would win anything, but it's another team to watch.

Don't think you can really include Demichelis personally. He cost less than every other player on that list and has been decent enough really. Far better than if we'd kept Kolo or played Lescott. He wasn't necessarily brought in to play as many games as he had either -- Nastasic has just been out for about 2/3rd of the season. Getting injured for 6 weeks right after joining didn't help him adjust to the team early on either.

Ushojax said:
Negredo really shouldn't be on that list. Eto'o has the same goals of him with a third fewer appearances. Ade has more goals and he only played half a season!
Click to expand...

There's more to a transfer than the games in the PL. Negredo has 23 goals overall including 5 in the UCL. Unfortunately for him quite a few of the apps since his shoulder injury have just been a handful of minutes at the end of the game. I'm a little nervous about his attitude tbh -- he's not looked happy for a very long time (can't blame him necessarily).

how is your thesis going?

Wasn't a thesis per se, longer form essay around 4000 words (fuck a thesis). Was okay. Lots of quotations, not a lot of my own meat. Will get average marks. Will feel bad.

How's yours going?

Can't wait for the season to end and transfer window to open. Just wanna get City's title win out of the way and get on with the prep for next year, see what moves we make to compensate for next years' extra games (which should be double figures unless we go out early in both domestic cups again), enjoy the World Cup, anticipate our CL draw (gonna be hyped as fuck for that) and fixture list, and get on with the season.

This is no fun at all, just sitting and waiting for the inevitable. I'm more concerned with seeing how many goals Suarez and Sturridge can hopefully get against Newcastle than I am the results tbh. Sterling as well, would be boss for him to get double figures.
