Stan Van has done a great job with what he's dealing with. Aside from Howard, that team is not that good. That was a hoe move by Howard, and I agree with the poster above who says Howard is acting like a baby. He doesn't wanna be viewed as the villian or on the level of Lebron, but when this is said and done and he leaves, this will be viewed as being worse than Lebrons shenanigans.

Dude, don't act dumb. You made a really ignorant statement...don't sling it back at me.

How is it stupid or ignorant?

NBA players are some of the most ignorant players compare to other sports.

Or should I also say the NBA organization is stupid. It's pretty much a players league being run by the players.

Lebron left the team that drafted him to go pair up with wade and bosh so they could be Boston 2.0.

Paul left an organization that needed him so he could go play for a big city.

Melo got D'antoni fired. Cousins got his coach fired. And now Howard want one of the better coach in the NBA to be fire? did you watch how stupid Howard acted and looked after STV came out and said, Howard did asked for him to be fire.

You don't see NFL players trying to get their coaches fire or wanting to play for a big market instead of a small market. That's why the small markets in the NBA will never be able to succeed compare to bigger markets. Why'd you think no one wants to come play for MJ? Bc we're a small market. That's why season after season, it's pretty much the same teams that make the playoffs the season before, making it again over and over.

NBA teams can constantly win week after week but some chooses not to until their coach is fired (Knicks,kings).

And that's a stupid statement? That's just my opinion.

Serious question- do you actually watch and pay attention to the NBA or do you only follow on ESPN?

It is a players driven league- because there are 5 starters on an NBA team vs 22 on an NFL team. All of your other points are, well, not very well thought out. Ignorant almost

I'm not going to agree with you just because you list a bunch of useless drivel. Making a generalization about a group of people is what is ignorant. And while I'm not that there is a difference between stupidity and ignorance-- to which you used both.

So which is it? Better yet, forget it, because I already see that you are flawed on this one.

If both of you guys are in SVG's shoes, who's done nothing wrong to Howard. Is trying to put food on the table for your family and has this guy asking for your head to be fire, how would y'all feel about it.

The real prima donnas are the NBA superstars, not Micahel Crabtree. That's for Greg Williams' comment (except:KD, Nowitzki, and only a few others)

Are you fuging serious? Stan Van Gundy is not trying to feed his family, he makes millions of dollars a year. Why do you act like NBA players are somehow different than players in other sports? And why would you pick Michael Crabtree, who held out for a bigger salary even before he played in the NFL, and isnt even a good player?

It's an unprofessional move by Howard but the NBA is an unprofessional league and that's the way it will stay. Not only is Howard at fault but so is the GM for telling Van Gundy about the request and Van Gundy for telling the media about the request. Some things are better left unsaid.

The NBA isn't a prototypical business though. The GM, Van Gundy and Howard know that they are above the working class and problems that affect the working class are irrelevant to them. Van Gundy does not need to worry about negative publicity or losing a recommendation because he left on bad terms. Howard doesn't have to worry about any serious repercussions for asking for his boss to be fired. The GM isn't concerned about maintaining a professional work place and avoiding bias to certain employees.

Worst case scenario they're all set for life with their millions. LeBron certainly wasn't concerned about not informing Cleveland of his decision to leave. It's not as though he'll need a job recommendation from the Cavs later (assuming he manages money better than Dennis Rodman).

The fact is people pay to see Howard and LeBron play. If they are so offended by the antics of the players they'll stop buying tickets. I don't see too many empty seats in Orlando or Miami though. People aren't watching the sport to see decency and civility. The Bobcats' players aren't whining to the media or trying to dictate what's best for the team. They also aren't winning basketball games or selling out many games.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
