With all due respect man, you just tried to tell me Michael Beasley and Yi were "big time players".

I was just joking about the fuck you thing, poor choice of wording on my part I apologize. Those guys obviously aren't big time players, I'll eat crow on that. Just saying that there are really good players and high level leagues all around the world that's all. I was wrong.

Just for the sake of discussion...

I knew Liga ACB was the next best from the NBA, but had no idea that Greece's league considered one of the top in the world.

Hopefully the Bulls cut him. Butler is their future not Rose.

More on Rose: http://deadspin.com/here-are-the-details-from-the-derrick-rose-rape-lawsuit-1726964421

Jesus fucking christ. I'm probably jaded, as athletes no longer get the benefit of the doubt with me, but god damn that's some serious shit.

My initial reaction is guilty, both because I think athletes of that stature just expect to get what they want, and when they dont, do whatever it takes to make it happen. But, also, because I think/thought Rose is a Grade A POS, before any of this leaked. Not really any basis behind that, but he always seemed like a selfish prick.

Then why is she only seeking monetary compensation and not legal justice? She's a gold digging bitch.

And this is the third attorney she's had to hire, meaning the first two bailed when they realized she was exactly that.

"Gang raped", yet only files civil suit. Right.

I think that Rose probably put himself in a ridiculous situation and it's hard to say. I hope she is a gold digging bitch because that would me she wasn't hurt and won't be scarred for life.....though if that's the case Rose would be facing shit he didn't deserve.

I really have no feelings on this other than I hope the truth is definite and the outcome is completely based on that. If Rose never plays again...I don't care. If he gets off scot free I don't care either....as long as the truth of what happened is the basis.

The level of tail some of these guys gotta think twice about is something most of us can only dream of. However, this shit is always possible.

If a crime really happened, she would file criminal charges and not care about money. Also, we don't punish the "wolf criers" enough in this society. The ones who are exposed as scammers should get the same penalty as the suspect was facing.

Norris cole signed his 1 yr tender with the Pelicans, so he's off the market.
