I think it is fair for news websites to charge for their service, especially if that charge is a 1 question survey.
That's fair; I'm not saying they have no right to do it. I just find it annoying and would rather not read the article if I have to answer a survey. Perhaps unexpectedly, I'd rather they just put an ad on the site.
I have noticed that if you click the "show me a different question" it seems that most times it just goes away.

Boivin, I think it's too late. How can you work with a guy that already said he's going to be confrontational, and give one word answers, and make media day a circus?

This is hilarious:

Kieff is level headed when his brother is traded in NBA 2K15.

"It's a business," Markieff said. "I'm new and even I know that. Hey. Maybe the change of scenery will do 'em good."

:lol:

Knight on Markieff and his own progress

http://www.azcentral.com/story/sports/n ... /31749267/
"If he stays with us, we'd definitely love to have him. Great player. I'm looking forward to playing with him. But if not, it's a business. Like I said, I just want Markieff to be happy. That's the main thing. I love him as a player. I love his game. So as of now, I'm excited to play for him."

"Play for him"? Please don't feed his delusions of running the team.

TJ Warren?
Seriously. It's all Bledsoe, Knight, Goodwin, Tucker and Len. Fans, at least around here, are more excited about Warren than any of them. Isn't it strange that he doesn't appear in the video?

How many of those home games against that comp did Warren play against with a highlight? I don't know if you should make a big deal about it.

He had 11 points in a home game against GSW (3/9), eight points in a home win against DAL (3/22), and 10 points and six assists in a home game against LAC (4/14). I'm sure in all that they could have found a highlight or two if they'd looked.

It's a bit curious. If it doesn't say anything about Warren can we make the same claim about Markieff then? I see the absence of Kieff highlights as a big deal but not the absence of Warren highlights. Is that duplicitous? Maybe. A 5th year player that's your starting PF should be in your ticket package highlights in my opinion.

I agree with you. Markieff missing is the big deal. The Warren slight doesn't mean anything. The average fan might not even know who he is yet.

The average fan doesn't know much more about Goodwin than Warren, but Goodwin is featured prominently.

Yeah, but did you see that monster dunk?! Who is this kid? I might have to check out the team this year. </average fan>

Versus: "Cool floater."

So you're saying there were no Markieff dunks available for the highlight package?

Sorry, I thought I was clear on Markieff not being there. I was talking about Warren.

OK, I changed it to "Cool floater." Better?

Yeah, I thought it was a decent read, except for the "borderline all-star" bullshit.
