RE: A few of my favorite rumors.

What the heck is it with players when they would rather go play in Turkey than
the NBA.  Maybe Kandi doesn't want to play in a league of thugs, drunks, and
wife beaters.  Not to mention, dope smokers, gangsters, and let not forget the
whiners.

Where in the heck is Turkey getting the jack to pay Kandi.  He is going to make
more than the GDP of Turkey if he stays in the NBA.  Let get real here, why
doesn't he stay with the Clips, where he will be da man, if he is traded, maybe
he isn't quite as important a player, and can't showcase his "talents".  Isn't
the NBA all about who can score the most, get the most boards, and get the most
money anyway.  Who cares about winning.  Fans still come to games.......

Perhaps; but I also wonder if Kandi Man seriously pondering playing in Turkey
is a way to force the Clippers' hand to trade him so that the Clips get a
player or player(s) to show for their #1 pick as opposed to letting him sign
overseas for nothing and thus leaving them with egg on their collective faces.
