    Re: Nick Collison

    That would be my question.......why?

    I understand the whole "I love Seattle" thing, but he is a valuable member of the team and he doesn't dog it on the court (in my opinion). About 8 out of 10 people would prefer to live in Seatlle if you had a chance to visit both and were not from the state of Washington or Oklahoma. It is a top 5 city in the country. I LOVE living here, but I have traveled enough to know there are better places out there. Maybe not people wise, but scenery, things to do, etc.

    With that being said, if he is miserable here he needs to go to Management and request a trade. But Management doesn't need to force the issue.

    Re: Nick Collison

    I think Traber was somewhat correct but as usual Traber made too big of a deal out of it, Traber gets off on this ****!

    I like the way Collison plays but the one thing I agree with Traber about is that if you hate OKC so much then go somewhere else

    With a record of 109-23 (.826) and six Big 12 championships in 10 seasons, Stoops has reason to be arrogant. But he is not. He is somewhere between humble and unimpressed.

    He wasn't even an inkling correct. Did you hear the interview? He's a sad little fail clown.

    Nick said it was hot in Oklahoma and didn't care for it. Oh my god, he hates heat! Let's run him out of town!

    Re: Nick Collison

    Actually you are wrong, Nick was all PC when Traber interviewed him for damage control, Nick has been dogging OKC for a year now, not horribly which is why I say it is way overblown by Traber. Like I said Traber gets off on this shizz

    What has he ever said that trashes OKC? That he likes living in Seattle? That he doesn't like 105 degree heat? Talking about the city you live in and the weather is somehow trashing Oklahoma City? That's bizarrely oversensitive and stupid.

    Re: Nick Collison

    I guess my take on the whole thing, at least on Traber's side, has already been documented in my thread. My take on the subject, on Collison's side, is this: He plays for OKC. When he's on the court for OKC, he busts his f*cking *SS to try to win us basketball games, despite playing for a college team that many Oklahoman's dislike, as well as his first six seasons in a town which now, because of the team, hates Oklahoma.

    Did I mention that, when he's on the court, playing for Oklahoma City, that he busts his *ss? I did. Good. Then why does anything else matter? Does L.A. care whether or not Kobe likes it there? No. Just keep winning. OKC's not winning... yet... but give Presti time. In the meantime, we've got players like Collison and not Zach Randolph, so shut your f*cking mouths and let him keep doing his hard work for our team. He can live where he wants and like what he wants. It's his business. What he does ON the court is where our business with him ends.

    No, I listened to the interview, read his twitter page, and read the article from the Daily OK that Traber was spazing about, am I missing something?

    Re: Nick Collison

    Yea, mainly all the comments that Collison made from the time of the move thru now...like I said above, I think it was wayyyyy overblown by Traber but his point that Collison should show some respect since Oklahoma people are paying him a crap ton of money to be a 8ppg and 8 reb guy is valid I think

    Re: Nick Collison

    Oklahoma people aren't paying him sh*t. They're buying tickets, merch, etc... that helps pay him, but they're not paying him. It's not like he works for the taxpayers. And, if he quits working tomorrow, they'll still have to pay him. Collison is a hard-work guy, and Traber wants to go after HIM? D*ck move.

    I think Nick should be left alone, he is entitled to state his personal preferences and nobody should get defensive about it...

    I agree with Traber more often than not, then sometimes he goes Looney Tunes and I wonder what drugs he takes.

    Re: Nick Collison

    collison HAS trashed OKC, even if not in a public forum. a family friend of mine is good friends with him. my friend posted a message on facebook about rainy weather in oklahoma saying something to the effect of we wanted the hoops team, not the weather. collison wrote underneath it that the only thing OKC has more of than seattle is strip malls and fast food restaurants. don't let him play all innocent, he has dogged OKC and as far as i'm concerned he's a loser. take your 5 points and 5 boards and go play for the storm.

    You realize that, to sensible people, this isn't a selling point for your side of the argument, right? In fact, hearing this tends to make me lean the other direction, excepting extreme cases, such as, "as far as i'm (sic) concerned, I think sex with the same sex is better than with the opposite sex," or the ever-popular, "as far as i'm (sic) concerned, a player's black and white stats matter a lot more than their metric stats."

    You must be really proud of your ignorance given the rate at which you show it off...

    Collison averages 7 rpg for his career. Would I rather have a full-sized, grown-up center snagging boards and playing tough, physical defense for us...? Yes. Sadly, Special K isn't that guy either, and likely won't develop into him, and D.J. White, who COULD develop into that player, isn't much bigger/taller than Collison. Is "Byron" Mullens that guy? No. We NEED Collison, so grow up and at least start supporting your team, if not the players... Collison should be an 8 or 9 guy, and he's our 5 or 6 guy, depending on K's health. THAT is the real problem.

    If the rest of you want to get drunk off of the crap that spews out of Traber's love nozzle, and believe that any of that other crap matters, keep it up.
