What should happen is that Seattle gets an "expansion team", but that they get the Sonics name and history back...if only that greedy republican oil man that bought them and moved them to cow town OKC had an appreciation for history...

The NBA and Stern could have stopped that and made the sell to a local group, but they wanted Seattle out of Key Arena, because they didn't have enough luxury boxes, fucking dumb shit how they were forced out and the new owner game a shitty offer to the city making them all pay for a new arena, which no city does or at least it is super rare, so that shit was all set up by greed.
Now nobody goes to OKC games as much and kind of funny, they sold out for like one year.

It's even more ridiculous, because it's not exactly like the Chesapeake Energy Arena is a palace either...even after all their renovations it's a pretty 'minor league' looking arena.

If the owners were smart and really wanted to win more games or titles, I would design an arena kind of like a college basketball place like Duke, that way you get the real true fans yelling the whole game and that matters an awful lot in home court.
But everybody wants these rich boxes for their cronies. I don't get how an owner hasn't tried to do that if they really want to win more games.

Dwayne Wade is a fucking joke. Wanting to be paid to play in the Olympics, WTF is that. How about you do it for the pride of your country. You already get paid Millions while people are suffering in the world and in our economy.
I don't want some greedy selfish prick representing my country. To believe I thought Wade was a good guy, fuck this clown. Complaining about having no rest and playing a game of basketball, tough life brah.
I hope the Heat never win another title.

I don't think they should be paid to play, but I think they should be paid a percentage of whatever money is made off of them. Such as jerseys, posters, cereal boxes, etc.

Also, when did Chris Paul morph into a punk bitch? He is a fucking joke now. Literally, like one step above Nate Robinson joke. Mike Conley schooled him constantly on pick and roll plays.
However, currently the grizz and clipps would meet in the 1st round, I want to avoid this if at all possible b/c the league and ESPN have such a hard on for the Clippers. They want an LA/LA series so bad, and there is blake griffin, who looks like he fell off the evolution chart two steps before man. He gets so much press, but is just not that good, he dunks. Great. So does Shannon brown. He has zero offensive game, he fouls with his off arm on roughly half his dunks, he can't defend for shit considering how athletic he is. Gah, like I said, ESPN has such a hard on for him, I couldn't stomach watching him 4 games in a row while we swept them.

I agree with Wade, why shouldn't they get paid?
They are making tons of money for the Olympic executives, selling jerseys, selling out arenas, bringing in big sponsorship dollars - so all of that money can go to the rich white guys running the show rather than the people who are actually earning the money?

Now Wade backtracks a day later, what an idiot. I guess he didn't like the thousands of comments on the topic that were negative.
If anything the money should be going to pay the slave workers who make the shit, that is what is ridiculous to me. People in China or wherever working hella hours for hardly any money and these bitches are crying about money who make millions.
The greed in the world disturbs me and is the downfall of the human race.

LOL They are already RICH...fucking please...play for your country I don't care how rich they are, you know who is richer? The people profiting off of them playing for free. Just because they are in the spotlight they get a bad rap from people talking shit about them being "greedy" because they want to be compensated for their time. They deserve to get paid what they are worth - if the people making money off of them don't want to pay them then they shouldn't play if they don't want to.
