i agree... unless u can control these threads so that people only write about the latest info or ideas on the latest info... and not about random stuff like the celtics... but that is not possible so i say after a few days, a number of rumors, and 24 pages later.... i think a new thread is a great idea... plus espn is a trusted source... not right about everything... but the best source next to being a GM

sactown100 - the point is this is a thread forum. We combine like topics because we are the most active Kings message board on the Internet. If we didn't combine like topics, we would have any number of same topics taking up page after page of the index.

And Marc Stein at ESPN is NOT a trusted source. Where do you think BSPN comes from? He's not even claiming to have current information. His comment is about as noncommittal as anything you'll see.

This is really derailing this thread so let's just leave it at that. This is the official Bonzi rumor thread. Anything else will be handled in the manner the moderators of this forum - all of us - feel is most consistent with the board format.

Thanks again and now...back to the LATEST rumor.

:p

I posted a rumor and said to take it for what it's worth. If it was a done deal, everyone would have known by now. It was a heads-up, meaning pay attention that something MIGHT be happening.

Sorry if that's not enough for you. You aren't under any kind of obligation to believe me and you're entitled to a full refund of any monies you paid me for the information if you think you didn't get your money's worth.

Quite frankly, I couldn't possibly care less if you believe me or not.

Nobody knows what is going on with Bonzi's status including Bonzi, his agent, and Petrie...but something hopefully will happen either way.

It didn't help that Peja and other players signed some big inflated deals, way more then they are worth (thanks NO), while Bonzi would like $9-10, he is probably only going to get $7-8M and 3-4 years, rather than 5-6 years which he would like.

It's too bad people don't play for the love of the game and keeping saying "Show Me the Money" as in the movie Jerry McGuire. These guys get paid big $ for playing the game they love. I know he is trying to secure his future because this is his last contract, but come on already, you played your hand and now it's time to make your decision.

Thanks for the heads up VF21, you do have a good source, but things do change as in the coaching situation, and hopefully signing Bonzi because I don't see us getting much for him right now. The offers on the table are pretty much dried up, Bonzi's agent & Bonzi have waited too long and the teams that wanted him have looked elsewhere. Look how long the SG FAs hung out there in the beginning, then the other teams got smart and said the heck with it, we have to make our moves and not wait around. I sure hope we do the same and the offer has a deadline, because this is way beyond crazy.

And, for the record, the system remembers the last post you read. When you come back to the board and click on the threads with the darkened icons, it takes you to the first new post since your last visit.

Of course, that assumes that you actually read the thread the last time you visited. A nice active message board like this is sometimes too hard for people to stay completely up to date on every time they log in. ;)

Did you notice my most recent "rumor," Troy?

We may not have much longer to wait at all.

I saw it after my long post and edit, boy news is happening quick. We have like 2-3 new pages in the last 10 minutes or so. :D

Thanks for the heads up VF. Keep them coming, we are all just cranky from the heat and the lack of moves being made in the organization, hopefully Petrie has been busy and now finally things are going to become reality. I find that many rumors have some degree of truth to them, than the person relaying them might put on spin on it like a Bonzi's agent to get what they want etc. Some people put there dreams like KG is coming here and want to believe it so much that they might start a false rumor...all in all many rumors have some degree of truth, it's just hard to work out a multi player deal because both sides want to feel they got the better deal and don't want to budge.

Just a few completely unsubstantiated guesses and random speculation:

1. If a deal/signing does go down today it's probably as a result of the Al Harrington thing being settled, which means either Bonzi has given up on Indiana as a destination and is re-signing or Indiana is turning their attention to Bonzi and it's a S&T.
2. If it's a S&T with Indiana, I'll bet Hart is also included because Indiana is thin on point guards.

That's pretty much it.

Sounds good. I agree that the AH situation is impacting Bonzi right now as was Bonzi impacting everyone else early on until teams said we're not waiting around anymore.

Well I'm ready to find out what Bonzi is doing. Then I can put complete focus on the NFL.

Yup, that's how I feel too. This has been way to stressful with all the waiting. Who's your team? Mine's the Packers, at least 1 more year now that Favre is confirmed to be playing this season. Should also be interesting being that we signed Charles Woodson away from the Raiders. :D

I have always been of the opinion that if you are going to watch a game of mindless violence, you maigh as well root for the most mindles and violent team. Thats why I'm a Raiders fan.

LA area hitting upwards of about 115.

Im not exactly sure how the relationship was between bonzi and muss in memphis but something tells me it could be one reason why bonzi is taking his sweet time to resign. The comments he made about really wanting to return were when we still had adelman. Just my .02 TDOS continues....

Bonzi has known Musselman's family for years. He knew Eric's dad as well. I don't think the relationship has anything to do with it. That part I have no concern with. I think the part where his last big contract would leave him making less than what his last contract made him would be of his biggest concern.
