The Lakers....
I'm saying that Kemp needs to be sent to another team. Seattle backed out of
the trade that would have given them the championship last year (Kemp for
Pippen) and now they've got a player that's unhappy about his contract AND
takes it to the floor.
If they have ANY thoughts of winning the championship, they will never win it
with Kemp on the team. I can't imagine Kemp taking a back seat to Jordan in
Chicago if he were traded a couple of years back and that would have kept
them from winning any of their last two championships (Plus Kemp's inability
to stay in the game).
Take away Pippen and there's NO championships in the past two seasons.
Scottie has played *intelligently* with 5 fouls several times in the past
couple of playoffs and has been there playing effective defense at crunch
time. Kemp's saddled his team with 4 on 5 several times (Fouling out 5 times
in the last 2 playoffs - twice in the Finals against Chicago last year)
because he's pulled some bonehead moves on defense and he's either protecting
himself against a 6th foul or he's fouled out on a foolish foul. Hell, he was
in 12 playoff games this year and had 4 or more fouls in TEN of them and had
5 fouls in 5 games and 6 in 2 games. Seattle was damn lucky that they didn't
go out in the first round again. If Phoenix would have made shots in that
overtime game, Seattle would have been crying again.
MLB - Atlanta and Oakland.
NFL - Dallas.
CFL - Edmonton.

Anyway thanks for the message.  Talk to you again sometime.

be good if Peter Vecsey would check out his leads before he calls a guy a
druggie or an alcoholic!!!  Wouldn't you say that that would be good?
Pippen isn't the big guy on the Bulls.  They have Jordan.  And I know that
the Jazz have Stockton, but it's not even the same.  I know I have a little
bit of a grudge, just a tiny tiny one. No it's a big ol' grudge, but I can't
help it.  I like a lot of other teams, like the Jazz and the NIcs and the
Heat and the Hawks and the Lakers and the Trailblazers. It's not like I'm a
big ol' Sonic's are the best team in the world, they aren't, and I know that
but I just like them.  I like other sports too.  Like baseball.  And I like
the M's.  But I like the Yankees more.  Anyays, what are your fav. teams?

  I don't like the bulls in basketball, quite frankly I'm tired of them.
I think after next season(or 2) they'll split up, and other teams will

assistant: You know I think I have found a soul mate.  No, uh, I'm from a little bitty
town in WA called Wenatchee.  It's supposed to be the Apple Capital of the
world, but I'm definately thinkin that it's not.  You're right the raptors
have a lot of potential, a lot.  Sorry I'm not good w/ names what's that guys
name, the good one, you know?  See I pretty much watch just the Seattle teams
cuz my sis would kill me if I watched too much.  She says that's all I talk
about, but she talks about it too.  I mean she's always talkin about A-Rod.
Talk about bein a little pushy.  yeah, I know all about Joey's buffness.  In
that one commercial where they are talkin about hw he wants to look good in
the new uniforms.    I'm watchin the game right now.  Tino Martinez just hiot
a homer and I'm thinkin this can't be good for us!!!  Darn.
  When you talk about the music are you talkin about Nirvana?  I like their
later music.  Truthfully though, I used to have nightmares about Kirk or Kirt
or whatever.  I like the Foo Fighters though.  Uh-huh theur new song though,
monkey wrench?  It's a tad weird.  But I still like 'em.  So I am so glad
that you don't like the Bulls anymore.  I think that MJ has to be the worst
sport in the game.  I mean the Heat beat them like once in the playoffs and
he wouldn't shake hands.  I mean hellow! Give Mourning his props alright?  .
So what do you think, you think we should trade Kemp?  I mean I love the guy.
 I'm thinkin that I would have a bad year too if someone called me an
alcoholic and a druggie.  Wouldn't you!! So give me some info.  Who is your
fav player?  How old are you?  DO you really like Toronto teams or do you
have a diffrerent fav?   Anyways.  See ya.

Frankly, I don't. I know that there are those that love him but as long as he

Let me ask you something -- if this was all so wrong then why didn't Kemp sue
him? You will notice that Michael Irvin and Erik Williams sued the police and
the press for what happened to them so why didn't Kemp? I think that while
its really not that big of a deal (unless Kemp plays drunk), there was
probably some truth to what was said.
The kind of chemistry that has caused them to explode in the playoffs. I'll
take Pippen over Kemp any day (I'm not a fan of Payton, however, I respect
him more than Kemp because he keeps his problems in the locker room).
Pippen's only done one thing on the floor that I've disagreed with and while
Jordan says that he might have done it differently (As if Jackson was going
to call something for someone else with Jordan in the game), he said that he
could see Pippen's point.
First of all, I'm a lot older than you and I've seen a lot more of the things
that you might think of as "history." Second, if you want to learn more then
buy a book like the NBA Encyclopedia -- it's very biased but it still has
some good info.

assistant: I here Mark Messier could go back to Edmonton. The only problem is that
Edmonton doesn't have the money. Glen Sather could try and work the emotion
card and Kevin Lowe is already pushing Messier to join him in Edmonton so you
never know. Sather is not going to sign Messier for 4 million. Maybe 3.5 but
that would be a huge paycut. However, Edmonton is offering a lifetime deal
which gives Mess a spot in the staff after he retires which could be
seducting. Montreal could take Messier. They need someone to teach all their
young guys. Philly might get him. Mess would be a great teacher for Eric
Lindros nevermind making an incredible wing man for the Legion of Doom.
Imagine that, John LeClair, Eric Lindros, and Mark Messier on the same line.
Detroit could go for him but I doubt he'll go there. Same with Vancouver. Of
course New York could get him back. Wayne Gretzky would want him there. With
Messier out of New York, who knows, maybe Gretzky will push for a trade to go
to another team with a chance of winning.

   I hate to say this about Kemp but, well, he's not very bright, he didn't
go to collge.  But o.k.  If it were true, then why would all the Sonics be so
mad about it.  I mean Vecsey got the biggest reaction from people like
Shrempf.  What's that all about.  Now I thought that who ever gave Vecsey the
lead had to be at an all player meatin.  Last time I checked there weren't
any girls on the team and there were no nosy Vecsey people in Seattle.
