mal wieder ein update von wine&gold nachdem einige zeitungen unter anderem aus ny geschrieben haben joe könnte auch bei den lakers oder hornets landen:
"OK, let me just jumo in here, just to fill everyone in one where things stand as I see them right now. And explain how ths all came to be, and things that can happen along the way.
Joe Smith being bought out, was born a long lomng time ago in the mind of Danny Ferry. It's been an option we were thinking we could utilize at any moment, and was our crutch even as we approached the trade deadline.
When Ben went down wioth his injury, it became option 1, that we wanted to get taken care of. Our people contacted Dan Fegan, and Dan Fegan ...and we hammered out buyout details in concert with OKC, so that Joe Smith felt as comfortable as possible asking ofr, and going through with this process that would land him in Cleveland.
Now, this IS a competitive league, and teams do have the ability to step in and mess with pre-arranged plans if they want to.
As of last night, our players hadn't heard from Joe personally, yet ...and to a few that had become a concern, but, today Joe did make contact with a couple players on the team, and it looks as though all systems are go for his arrival here. That was this AM.
The writiers that write what they write, I don't know where they get their stuff, or if they just make it up along the way. It's been proven that SAS does just make stuff up alot, if not most of the time.
Now, all the prearranged stuff in the word doesn't stop teams from trying to mess with another teams plans along the way ...they are all seeking the same championship, and want it juist as bad as us.
Is it 100% Joe Smith ends up here ...of course not. Not until he signs, is it absolutely a done deal. I've explained the buyout plan was bargained between OKC, Joe Smith and his reps, and the Cavaliers.
Now, we may have a team come in an try to up the verbal that we have arranged already. But, here's the thing ...Dan Fegan has been working in good faith with us through this whole process. If other teams even HAVE come forward and tried to get in on this action, I feel he would come back to us and make sure that we had the opportunity to match whatever is out there from an opposing team. That being said, I can't see us ..with what we have available to offer, ot doing what it would take to make sure he ends up coming here.
I predict we will see him in Clevenad tomorrow night ...hopefully in uniform.
I've been in thr business ,long enough to know nothing is ever 100% until the signature is on the paper. I've explained in detail exactly how this has all gfone down ..I 've hiddn nothjing from you guys. You undrstamd the situation as well as I do right now.
Let's hope that the pre-arranged plans don't get mesed with by anyone, but even if they do ..I think we'll have that covered as well. I think Fegan has enough riding on his improved relationship with the Cavs that he won't pull anything dirty on us."
noch zur erklärung:
dan fegan ist der agent von joe smith und anderson varejao
sas= stephen a. smith...ein reporter der für espn arbeitet der von den meisten cavs fans gehasst wird weil er immer wieder sagt lebron wechselt 2010 ganz sicher nach ny....außerdem verbreitet der immer wieder rumors die überhaupt nicht stimmen. hat z.b. vor ein paar wochen mal gesagt chris bosh hätte mit dem raptors gm geredet das er 2010 den vertrag bei den raptors nicht verlängern wird. was bosh und auch sein agent danach heftig dementiert haben...
