Fuggetaboutit!!! There is on relief!
Trust me, Isiah is not leaving the Knicks. Not now, not ever.
There is a good chance the little man will be back working for little Jimmy in an official capacity by next Spring. Most likely Isiah will be named GM, quite possibly he will be named team president replacing Donnie Walsh, who has health issues.
Isiah was scheduled to be interviewed at 4PM yesterday on ESPN 1050 AM, the Knicks flagship station. Isiah showed up at the studio, but received a call from the Knicks before 4PM telling him not to go on. He didn't.
This is going to turn into another psychotic Isiah soap opera.
Our best hope is that Isiah bankrupts the Knicks the way he bankrupted the CBA, so Dolan has to sell the team. It's the only way we'll get rid of Isiah for good.

No big deal....Charles being Charles. I find it interesting that those folks that think suddenly Charles is great....not too long ago, they thought he was a baffoon.
It has nothing to do with Charles Barkley being great or not great. Barkley's assesement of what Lebron did is right on the money! :up
Lebron sounds like a spoiled baby. 'I'm taking mental notes of everyone taking shots at me'. Oh my goodness, get over yourself already.
Not everyone works for ESPN and will fawn all over you.

MOST, if not all of his comments have always been spot on. I like Charles, but being older, a professional analyst...got twitter for twitter is childish and stooping down. But hey....it's just Charles being Charles....

Not sure what you said but yes Charles was spot on here.

I don't think he was a "punk" and quite honestly....You may not agree with HOW he did it.....but to exchange childish twitter messages...well, it's childish. Especially from a 40 years old man. Next thing you know, Charles will be inviting him to a street fight.
Tonight, the Pro Basketball Hall of Fame inducts Scottie Pippen (a guy Salsa knows well, having traveled with the Bulls in their heyday) and Karl 'The Mailman' Malone.
Recording that. I am interested what Michael has to say since he is presenting him. Scottie actually lives down here now.
Hmmmm....I think he is gone. The age of taking JUST the money, with Lebron and Bosh's move to Miami, could be over and this could be the new trend.
Carmelo Anthony unsure on extension

HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. -- Denver Nuggets forward Carmelo Anthony says he has no timetable on when he'll decide whether to sign the team's $65 million, three-year extension that's been on the table all summer.
During his annual basketball camp at ThunderRidge High School, Anthony said he's displayed his loyalty to Denver and the Nuggets over the last seven seasons, but "I'm just taking my time, figuring out if I want to take that extension or not."
The Nuggets are searching for a new general manager but Anthony said that person won't factor into his decision.
"I think my decision is my decision," Anthony said, according to The Denver Post. "I don't think it's based on who is in the front office or anything like that. I'm going to make my decision based on my feelings."
Anthony could become the headliner of the 2011 free agent class if he decides not to sign the extension or exercise the option on his current contract, which would pay him $18.5 million in 2011-12.
"I could wake up tomorrow and they could snatch it off the table," Anthony said, according to the Denver newspaper. "I don't know. I don't know what their mind-set is."
Anthony said his loyalty to the Nuggets' fanbase and organization has never wavered.
"I've shown that over my seven-year stint here," he said, according to The Denver Post. "I don't think anybody can question that. But at this point in time, I have to do what's best for me and my family. I'm just taking my time, figuring out if I want to take that extension or not."
Anthony has plenty of financial incentives to sign the deal because the league will have a new collective bargaining agreement after next season that is expected to be far less lucrative for players.
So by declining Denver's offer, Anthony could be leaving tens of millions of dollars on the table.
That's a major reason the Nuggets are confident that Anthony will sign their extension offer. Many executives around the league believe he will sign it as well. Under league rules, Anthony has until July 1, 2011 to accept the offer. The Nuggets official said Denver will not impose its own earlier deadline on Anthony.
If Anthony doesn't accept the offer, it would seemingly be a sign that he doesn't want to continue his career in Denver.

Udonis Haslem's passenger claimed pot
Associated Press
MIAMI -- A passenger in Udonis Haslem's vehicle told the Florida Highway Patrol that marijuana found after a weekend traffic stop on a South Florida highway was his. The Miami Heat forward's lawyer believes that should vindicate the NBA veteran.
Eric Schwartzreich, Haslem's attorney, said Monday that the State Attorney's Office is reviewing the arrest paperwork, a process that should be completed in the coming days.
Haslem was arrested Sunday afternoon and charged with possessing more than 20 grams of marijuana, a third-degree felony, along with four counts of possessing drug paraphernalia.
"He's a little rattled," Schwartzreich said. "He's upset. He doesn't know how he can be charged with this."
Haslem was freed from custody late Sunday night, about seven hours after a trooper pulled him over for driving 78 mph in a 60 mph zone on the Gratigny Parkway. Haslem's 2008 Mercedes sedan was searched multiple times, and marijuana was eventually found in a blue nylon bag that the Heat player's passenger, Antwain Fleming, said belonged to him.
Both were transported into police custody. Court records show Fleming faces a charge of possessing less than 20 grams of marijuana, a first-degree misdemeanor. It's unclear why Haslem could face the stiffer charge.
"We are confident Udonis Haslem will be vindicated," Schwartzreich said. "We have a situation where the passenger admits the marijuana was his and Mr. Haslem tells police nothing was in the vehicle.
"I think the police report speaks for itself," Schwartzreich added. "I am hopeful that Udonis Haslem will not be charged."
Haslem's car, worth more than $100,000, may face forfeiture, according to court records. The speeding ticket brings a $269 fine, and FHP spokesman Sgt. Mark Wysocky said Haslem was also cited for having illegal window tint.

I'm not even going to comment on that selfish certain someone and all of his 3rd person references in the latest GQ interview. Completely ridiculous the ego and self love this traitor has.
The Flagship Station for South Florida Sports
The interview with the writer of that story was much more interesting than the article itself.
I don't know if you would be interested, but give it a listen.
hmmm.....LOL!
Interesting comments I read on Charles Barkely's quotes:
Too damn funny! I LOVE Charles Barkley and his candidness....but he was busted on with this quote.....:haha:clap
