Dropped  on  the  quite  possible  fomenting  feud  between  &lt;a href=&quot;http://nba.com/history/players/thomas_bio.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Isiah Thomas  and   &lt;a&gt;Magic  Johnson &lt;/a&gt;.

Los Angeles Lakers Hall of Famer Magic Johnson said he disclosed the demise of his relationship with Detroit Pistons great Isiah Thomas because “those things have to be revealed sometimes.”




In the upcoming book, “When the Game Was Ours,” Johnson said his once-close relationship with Thomas soured when he learned Thomas questioned Johnson’s sexuality after Johnson was diagnosed with HIV. Thomas has denied he hinted Johnson was gay or bisexual. The falling out led, in part, to Thomas’ exclusion from the 1992 USA Olympic Dream Team.

The two have not talked since excerpts of the book were released.

In this   day and  age  within the  NBA  it&#039;s    the  commensurate  package is   allgedly  based  on productivity ?  Then  how&#039;d   you  explain  the likes  of   Starbury   stealin&#039;  money  from the  Knicks ?    

Over the last  4 years  he&#039;s  been  paid  an  accumulated  $ 58 million. &lt;em&gt; &#039;nough  said !&lt;/em&gt;  I  didn&#039;t  say  that   Rondo  wasn&#039;t   good.  It&#039;s  merely about being  prudent  on  how  you  spend the  money.


He&#039;s   by  no means  one  the  marquee  players  at the  position in the NBA.  There  are  probably  at  least   half  a  dozen  guys  in  the  league  better  than  him  at  the  position.   Look  at this way the  &lt;a href=&quot;http://nba.com/magic/roster/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; Orlando Magic &lt;/a&gt; has   &lt;a href=&quot;http://nba.com/playerfile/jameer_nelson/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Jameer Nelson &lt;/a&gt; and  he&#039;s paid  being  almost the  same  amount  as  Rondo.  So what&#039;s    your  take on that  ?   Stats  are   essentially similar  - the  only  difference is  one   has  a  ring  and  the   other  hasn&#039;t.  


And  oh  by  the  way  that   window  of   opportunity  for the  Celtics  to  win  another title.  Well  that  window  it  slowly    closing  and  heart  of the  team  is an  aging  one.  Doc  Rivers&#039;ll  have  to do  his  very level  best  to make  sure  that    both  Garnett  and  Allen  don&#039;t   go  down  for a  prolonged  period of  time.  

And   that&#039;s  even  with  &lt;em&gt;&#039; the best  player  on the planet&#039; &lt;/em&gt;  being  in  tow-  that&#039;s   allegedly  &lt;a href=&quot;http://nba.com/playerfile/paul_pierce/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Paul  Pierce &lt;/a&gt;  you  know ?  &lt;em&gt;  LOL ,LOL, LOL,LOL  !!!!!  &lt;/em&gt;

		<description><![CDATA[Hmmm, so you just think he’s average!?! I find that surprising, since he’s probably going to lead the league in assists regularly. He might not be as good as Devin, CP3, and Deron at scoring, but he doesn’t really need to be on a Celtics team that has plenty of options on offense. He’s great at facilitating the offense, which is what you want right!?! I’m not sure why you don’t think he’s deserving of the extension… 

Yes, I did ready your Coco post before. I’m not a huge fan of her, but I am a big fan of Ice T! Did you see their Halloween costumes?]]></description>

I  don&#039;t  know if the  figures  are   inflated  or not  .  But  to  my  mind  it&#039;s  in  line  with  what I&#039;d  have expected. So now  the   case  in  point  ,  if   Rondo  is  said to  be   worth  $ 55 million .  Then  what&#039;ll it  take to   to retain the   likes  of   &lt;a href=&quot;http://nba.com/playerfile/devin_harris/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Devin  Harris&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://nba.com/playerflle/chris_paul/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt; Chris  Paul &lt;/a&gt; and  &lt;a&gt;Deron  Williams  &lt;/a&gt; ?  Each  of whom  are  far  better  than  &lt;a href=&quot;http://nba.com/playerfile/rajon_rondo/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Rajon Rondo  &lt;/a&gt; !



I   guess  that&#039;s  what  they  mean  in the NBA  when  you have  to  pay  &lt;em&gt;  premium  dollar  &lt;/em&gt;  for   &lt;em&gt;little  more  than  average  talent  at  best  ? &lt;/em&gt;


I&#039;d  dropped this  a  while  back  .
