    I have nothing against LBJ or the Heat, but man, these press conferences are funny lol. Specifically this picture, which apparently is real... http://4.media.sportspickle.cvcdn.com/20/64/0cf3dd67c4f0968a4f77ddce3fb28f82.jpg

    The Heat's 4th quarter offense is an absolute mess right now.

    Two hyperboles, if you want to consider mine a hyperbole, of very different degrees. The case can certainly be made that Holliday is better than Choo. As for Hamilton, fair enough, I was thinking of him as a CFer.

    All of these guys get too many years. The market has dictated that an extra year or two is required in order to sign these types of players.

    And now the statement 'they always make the highest offer to a player they're interested in', is being qualified, which is my point. For whatever reason, they don't always make the highest offer to a player they're interested in.

    Yeah but now we're getting into things that may or may not be true, instead of just basing our opinions off of the facts (did they have interest, did they have the largest offer). What we know is that the Yankees have had interest in numerous stars that they didn't make the highest offer to. The rest is just speculation. And hey, Kobe's innocent lol.

    It was pointless of me to enter this discussion anyway, because it never goes anywhere. I'll just summarize my thoughts on the issue, and whoever wishes to respond may obviously do so (and I'll respond back), but it probably won't be productive. The Yankees have a financial advantage over every team in MLB, a huge one over most. I've never once disputed that, and for the betterment of the sport as a whole, I'd be in favor of a salary cap. I only take umbrage when that financial advantage, as massive as it may be, gets overstated. That happens when people say things like... -The Yankees have no limits. -There is no one out of the Yankees price range. -The Yankees can afford a high priced star at every position. -Other teams aren't capable of competing with the Yankees when going after a particular player in free agency. All of these things, along with similar statements, have been shown to be false.

    Those examples are useful because they illustrate that, at this point, the Yankees have a rather well-defined limit, despite what the common narrative says.

    It says a lot about how they've been in recent years, but this might have been the best Knicks' win since 2001. Certainly feels that way.
  19. yankees228
    Well, in this hypothetical situation, is this all-star team just being thrown together to play the Lakers, or have they played and practiced together for some length of time? If it's the former, then I agree, the Lakers would most certainly win.

    A few interesting quotes from Doc explaining the rationale behind the move. http://basketball.realgm.com/wiretap/211447/Doc_Trading_For_Green_Gives_Boston_Lineup_Similar_To_2008_Title_Team

    On the topic of Sheed, while there would be no expectations, I'd be interested in the Knicks possibly bringing him in. EDIT: But I'd imagine he would be quicker to sign with a team like the Celtics.
  22. yankees228
    I tend to agree, they probably should just go all in for right now. But I suspect management believes they can balance both, keeping the older guys here for a title run right now, while slowly preparing for life after the big three.
  23. yankees228
    There isn't that much that can happen at this point, considering it's after the TD. The more I think about it, I suspect this is more of a move for the future than anything. They likely expect that they can get by without Perkins this year, and Green is a very nice piece to have in future years as some of the C's core players become less effective due to age.
  24. yankees228
    Very surprised by this deal, especially considering how often Doc mentions that the starting five has never lost a playoff series. Odd that they would voluntarily break them up.
  25. yankees228
    Alright, sounds good. Whatever you guys think is fair.
