Maybe should have used a later draft pick or picked him up as a free agent

I'm mad at the Nets for stealing SA's color scheme. YOU WILL NOT ESCAPE MY IRE
Thankfully I've always been a Yankees fan.
Growing up, basketball was 4th on my sports priority list, though I did get somewhat excited in 99 when we lost to San Antonio in the finals.
I will have no allegiance to a Dolan-owned franchise. He's as despisable an owner as there is in professional sports, this side of Donald Sterling.
They should have also stolen the Kings' nickname, and forced them to change, Brooklyn being Kings county, and "Nets" being the lamest knickname ever.

Complain about your owner to Sonics fans and Marlins fans.
The Marlins are a small market team with 2 championships in the last 15 years. They've done great.
The franchise formerly known as the Sonics is looking phenomenal right now. Just sucks to be in Seattle

In whom I trust
Considering they played four games in five days, I can see why he would want to give them rest. That is bad scheduling. I am not a big Spurs fan for obvious reason, but that is terrible.

When is Stern going to apologize for the Washington Wizards and administer their public flogging?

So why are they signing Derek Fisher?

I think Stern's retirement is long overdue. Since when does the NBA determine which players play in a game? I though that's why the teams employ coaches?
I don't follow the NBA much, but this seems rather ridiculous. Sure, they probably could've done it so not all four were off the same night. But really, shouldn't it be between the players and their teams (who presumably know them best) to decide when they are off? If the coach thought the four of them needed a night off amongst four games in five nights, and thought they had a better chance of winning most of the games with all of them off one game than one off each of the four, it makes sense.
True, the Miami fans might have been slightly disappointed, but these things happen in sports. The player you were hoping to see gets traded earlier that day, or tears a hamstring during practice, or catches the flu (that can sometimes affect several players on a team at once). But on the scheme of things that are damaging to sports, this is small potatoes indeed. An overstep of authority in my opinion.

Hornet will be renamed into a more threatening name -- the pelicans.
This is the best solution for everybody, which means that it's never going to happen.
