The powers that be

[Diesel]

BK asked the girl out. BK planned a lovely dinner date. He made the reservations. He got flowers. He figured out what the meal would be and what wine would be served.

7:15 going to pick up Lucinda for the Date.

BK's father (Belkin) won't let him have the keys to the car...

Reality kicks in.

BK has no power.

If BK doesn't show up, wait until Lucinda talks to all her friends.. Yeah, he talked a good game but in the end, he couldn't even get the keys to the car...

By the time BK works up the nerve to ask another girl out on a date, her reply will be " maybe you ought to ask your daddy if it's alright first"...

So embarrasin...

if the Hawks are just going to sign him to the offer sheet......listen to Phoenix Suns press conference....they could not even get a real sit down with Joe and his agent.....they don't plan to match...they sound pissed.....maybe its an act.....but I don't think so.

You don't let an allstar quality player go for nothing...

If we try to screw Phoenix, even though they are an honorable front office, they will screw us harder and make us look like fools.

I'm not saying that Phoenix has a eutopia. Hell, their GM wanted above everything to keep JJ and their Owner superseded his wishes (after talking to JJ).

But you better believe that if we try to TAKE JJ... They will match. Remember they only need JJ for this year. They have several Outs as far as contracts are concerned and all of their players are desirable on the trade market. So they can make a run with JJ this year and put him on the blocks this summer and have enough money to avoid the cap next year.

They have done us a favor by giving us this chance to get a player that wants to play with us...

Ask yourself this..

In 4 yrs, Marvin becomes part of what a lot of people think he willl be. He's a fringe allstar.. But he no longer wants to play in Atlanta. He wants to go to NC to be with May and Felton..

Do you think we would just let him go for nothing?

If we are cap tight, do you thnk we just let him go and not try for the SNT?

If Carolina makes a bid that we could match, do you think we ignore matching to let him go for nothing??

Of course not. We have to get a return on our investment.

That's what Phoenix is doing.

If we try to stop them, then they will show us who really has the power.

Remember, they offered him 60... We offered him 70. 10 million is not that much to pony up!

I know, and Lucinda is a major biatch. Once she starts talking smack about ya to all her friends, you may as well just fuhgeddaboutit. That ho can ruin your reputation forever, and you'll never get another date!
