    Disregard statistical data for anecdotes. Got it

    He’s started in 7 of the last 9 days and appeared in the other 2 after the team made it sound like he was going to be forced into early retirement.

    Utah seems to do smart thing selling superstar. Can’t imagine what KD gets lol. But Utah didn’t seem to be capable of getting to next level. Better to take the crane to it I guess

    Xmas was the foreshadowing of future generations that would become too lazy to spell words and start making lol, brb, wdym, ur, and all the rest standard English

    I can’t catch a f***ing break. I’ve left like 6 hrs and tons of everything else on bench this week lol. Not by missing it but picking wrong people lol. Should be winning big instead of losing big

    The Sun God. And good for them lol Great holiday. For kids it’s Santa, elves, reindeer, and presents For adults it’s about the kids and trying to be less of a dick in general for the month Great holiday. I’ll always celebrate it for those reasons. If you don’t like it, tough s***

    The “serial killer” is just strawman ignoring real data

    Wrong. You say Merry Xmas and people that aren’t Christians shouldn’t worry about being offended. Same with wife and all that. Next generation is so focused on being offended and scared of the world, it’s harmful to society. Data shows it

    Not that the game is over I’ll just say being adverse to “inclusion culture” isn’t limited to sexuality. As a Muslim, seriously just say Merry Xmas, it’s cool It little league, sorry Mrs. Miller, your kid didn’t get 1 hit all season, no trophy for him. Tell him to make a cool science project and win a ribbon. And if that sucks, he shouldn’t get a ribbon. It’s not a merry wonderland world. Statistical data shows all this s*** is bad for development. People getting licenses way later, getting meaningful jobs later, moving out of house later, less dependable when they do get a job.. Bad s***

    Yeah but Durant is another load management guy. I mean, at least when you had KL, there were guys that could hold it down and win regular season games. You’d be giving up your best secondary pieces. But I don’t know the Raps depth much I guess. If there’s guys that would step up

    Lol. So you decide when it’s warranted? Nice
  16. connorp
    Anyways, the PA would definitely grieve and even if after arb the PA lost, the player that decided to take his non-guaranteed deal would be hated by all the players and union officials alike.
  17. connorp
    Precedent bro. Introducing radical changes. They can always go in and find vague language to base it on.
  18. connorp
    Don’t you always whine like a b when someone calls you a name in a debate? Almost 100% positive that’s the case
  19. connorp
    MLBPA doesn’t need players permission to get involved in something that effects the PA. I remember a time A-Rod tried to facilitate a buyout on his contract to facilitate a trade. Although it wasn’t spelled out in the CBA, because there was no precedent and because it could have a majorly damaging impact on the PA, Union squashed it despite players wishes
  20. connorp
    Well yeah, I mean if the guaranteed portion is an acceptable amount, then it probably doesn’t get grieved. But if it’s not, it would. But you cant just introduce a 10/100 guaranteed deal that could be worth 10/300m ala NFL. Jim was clearly suggesting you could if it doesn’t run afoul of the CBA states. He’s wrong
  21. connorp
    Apparently not, or it was Disneyland where everyone had a magical relationship. As an example, even if something is spelled out clear as day in a CBA, you can’t enforce it if there’s not precedence of enforcing it. As soon as you try to enforce it, you’d get a grievance. Been through it many times. A little different scenario obviously Anyways, if you honestly think the MLBPA would sit on their hands when a clear non-guaranteed was signed, you’re a fruit loop
  22. connorp
    Well, that is more in line with what’s reasonable. I was thinking something more dramatic was being suggested. I could’ve misread the room
  23. connorp
    Guess you’ve never been involved with a union lol
  24. connorp
    There’s no precedent for a non-guaranteed contract on a large scale. You can’t just introduce things and say “well the CBA doesn’t technically forbid it”
  25. connorp
    You’re not this ignorant. It doesn’t work like that amigo. The CBA is not a be-all-end-all that needs to provide every detail. When things happen that isn’t in the spirit of the CBA to one side, it would go to arbitration if they couldn’t work it out. A non-guaranteed contract in disguise would never fly
