I just listened to it again, Simmons said that there is some arguing going on about the 6 mil, but he said it will be coming out soon, and he asked his friend, where's the other 3.5 mil?
So we may have to wait a bit for the total numbers/story to come out, but Bill is there at ESPN, he has more contacts then I do, he said 6. *shrugs* Guess we'll see.
Edit:
Nas hooked this up.

6 mil generated, 2.5 of it was donated, I was under the impression that all proceeds were being donated. Maybe some of the numbers are wrong, I dunno. Not a big deal, just thought it was interesting. It is a Clev site, so who knows anymore if that's legit or not, so I'm not accusing anything here Heat, just askin some questions.

nope it actually made a lot more, it was either 6 mill or 8 mill and only 2.5 went to charity

Doesn't the network (ESPN) receive the sponsorship funds anyway then turn around & donated it to the B&G club?
edit- 2.5 went to B&G. There rest was given to other charity organizations

Luis + Hayes can backup Yao, but to have any sort of shot you gotta combat LA's size out West. Luis + Hayes can't bang bodies with Pau + Bynum. Miller probably can't either, but his size gives himself a better shot at making those shots harder than what they'd do over Scola + Hayes which is just shoot over them

As opposed to letting them actually affect whether you post on a forum or not? That's lame. Thriving off it > letting them rum you outta here.Originally Posted by Durden7
It's just sports and fandom. Its not that serious.Originally Posted by Master Zik
It's a shame you're so emotional to let haters get to you and affect your day to day instead of loving the fact that ppl take the time out their day to do it.Originally Posted by Durden7
You sound so lame.
Telling someone youre supposed to thrive off of people who dont like your favorite team.... Unreal.

Hello, I'm right here. I wasn't really going nowhere. I had a bad day (1 of those murphy's law days) yesterday that had to do with real life. The hate in the forum was just cherry on top of a bad day.

Interesting.
Decent insurance for Yao, maybe give him a little more rest, did he play in Sac with Martin at all?
Yao fully healed by now?
yao is done son. he will never be the same. imo thats a good pick up.

Houston did overpay for Lowry, Scola, and Miller but if I'm a Houston fan, I'm thrilled. Rockets have one of the most talented and complete teams in the league.
If Yao can ever stay on the floor, and Lowry/Scola stay hungry that's a title team.
Not to mention Houston got a steal of a contract with Trevor. So it kind of evens out the Lowry/Scola signings.

Yao ain't done. Hope he proves the doubters. A good guy like him deserves some good luck for once.
Miller's contract isn't even that long and he will be effective under Adelman.
Rockets building that depth up, but still needs a legit go-to-player in the end of the 4th quarter.

Yao and Brooks will be fine as far as go to players in crunch time.
Brooks is as fearless as they come. Trevor has never shied away from clutch jump shots either.
I just wish they could stay healthy. More than any other West team, I want to see how good Houston is fully healthy. I think they can be the 2nd best West team next year if they happen to stay healthy.

Yep they can challenge LA for the West
Like to hear how they wouldn't outside of Yao being hurt.

I know Brooks be fearless, but that isn't always a good thing. I have more faith in Kevin Martin making the right decision than Brooks at times.
Hope Yao becomes more selfish in the end of games as well.

Miller is 34. Darko is 25. Big difference.

But thats the thing, almost all the 2nd/3rd tier players got overpaid. While I do think Lowry's is kinda high, I think Scola's was more than fair. While they are role players I would rather pay them than start fresh with unproven guys.
And on Yao I don't think he's done as much as I think at this point, he's just unreliable. Can't just go into the season for a 2nd consecutive with no size in the paint. I don't have a problem with the Miller deal even though he's a little aged
.
But the roster is too overloaded, they need to make a trade.
