So if Dontaie’s dad says the exact same thing as KyKy’s dad said then what happens?

So as long as Dontaie or his dad don’t say that if he comes to UK then he wants to play right away then he’ll be welcomed in to BBN with open arms?

Does Dontaie want that UK offer? Is that the one he is waiting on?

I am impressed with that. I just don’t think this is enough for his apologists to claim success yet.

Pick a number then. I’m good with that. No way he bats over .250 for a full MLB season.

Well at least mama still believes in her baby. Gotta love how the media builds up his All Star Game appearance. Anything for TebowMania!!!!!!! Tim Tebow's Mom Thinks He's Ready for the Major Leagues! | TMZ.com “Tim Tebow's mother, Pamela, tells TMZ Sportsher son is ready to play in the Big Leagues ... and she couldn't be more proud of the way he's playing! FYI, Tim's been raking down in the minor leagues -- earning a spot in the Eastern League All-Star Game -- and Mama Tebow says he's ready for the call up to the Mets' MLB roster.”

Tony Parker runs off Kawhi and then leaves the team also. Genius.

Definitely not a good term at all. Pretty insulting IMO. I’m with you. I hope everything works out for the best. Great kid from a great family.

I saw him say he was offered by Xavier on his twitter account. Should be an interesting battle for his services between X and Cincy.

Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. Joe Krupinski told us it was going to happen but I was never sure how he felt about it. He told us the facts of it. I like what they are doing at Midway. They should be in great shape if they can accomplish their goals for the school.

I’m on the fence. I understand the traditionalist aspect of it but don’t the D2 schools get more money for scholarships now as a result? Why is the NAC strongarmming this through.

He has options so I don’t think the timeframe is an issue they are overly concerned with. I can understand taking as much time allowed for them to make a decision.

I posted before I read this. I’m right there with you.

If Tracy McGrady is a Hall of Famer why shouldn’t Melo be a Hall of Famer?

Not the point. The point is that they were both used for their names and not their actual skill. MJ bypassed Rookie League and A ball and went straight to AA ball off the strength of his name. Tebow worked his way up but until this month of June had never really shown any promise for a cup of coffee in the MLB. If one month of good hitting is good enough for Tebow to make the roster of an MLB team going nowhere then congrats to him. Don’t insult my intelligence trying to convince me that he is a capable and serviceable MLB player at 30 years of age. When he makes it to the MLB it will be for one reason and one reason only. To put butts in the seats. And if he makes it to the MLB and can have a batting average over .290 for a whole season I’ll happily admit I was wrong about Tebow on BGP, Facebook, Snapchat and I’ll chug however many beers you want me to chug at the Beer Engine on my tab whenever you tell me it has to happen.

:lol2: Yeah, I remember when Michael Jordan got the same treatment. He almost got called up too after starting in the minors at the Double A level.

Probably doubles to a 76% K rate but if the Mets can make money off of him then I ain’t mad at them.

From what I have read they aren’t going to run a Golden State style offense anymore.

Him getting called up would most definitely be a publicity stunt. He’s lucky he has a name. Otherwise he’d never make it out of the minors. That being said it is good to see him have a good month. I’ll be more impressed if he can keep it up and actually become a a serviceable player in the majors. I don’t see that happening though.

Truth! I love me some Cousins!

It has been reported that Cousins turned down a 2 year 40M offer from New Orleans shortly after he tore his Achilles. I wonder I he regrets turning it down.

I HATE that Magic didn’t bring in Cousins. It’s a wasted opportunity. They could have got that man for less than 10M and they chose Rondo. I like Rondo. I like him a lot. But Cousins most likely would have came to LA had they offered him 7.5M. I have been highly critical of Magic Johnson since he traded D’Angelo. Missing out on Cousins makes it even worse for me. LeBron James coming to LA had zero to do with Magic Johnson. He gets zero credit from me for LeBron being a Laker.

Miami would be my first choice as well.

Even more crazy is that PG and Russ are both LA guys but have seemed to fall in love with life in OKC.

Or maybe Russ isn’t nearly as bad as people say and KD simply chose guaranteed title shots over Russ.
