Re: Charity begins at home

I take it you are equating a player's inability to live off an NBA 
salary with an NBA team's inability to turn a profit (ie. for the owner 
to control spending).  You've heard my opinion before.  The CBA sets up 
rules and the teams must do everything they can under those rules to 
compete.  By negotiating a tough CBA the owners are exercising that 
"self control".

Others have pointed out to you before that you are being hypocritical 
when, on the one hand you criticize the owners for lack of control, and 
on the other blast Gaston for not wanting to pay Antoine $100 million 
dollars.  How do you explain these conflicting opinions?
