thanks for everything?

[Walt Cronkite]

Screw that guy.

[Demon DeaCat]

I hope it works out for May in Sac. I'm not sure why there's so much animosity towards him here. Obviously his career isn't what we or he hoped it would be, but stuff happens. But for the injuries he would have probably been a very good player. There are perhaps some legitimate gripes about his conditioning (or lack thereof) over the years but all in all he seems like a good guy who just had a lot of bad luck. It's too bad it didn't work out, but I wish him well. Who knows, the way things are going for us this off-season, he may end up making us regret we didn't keep him.

[Fred Williamson]

:shrug: screw him

[GoBobs]

I wish the guy the best. I am guessing we never made him any offer, perhaps because we know his knees are shot and his career is pretty much over.

[superb1]

i believe he can bounce back. hey bounce (pun not intended) i will miss him and what he could have brought us if healthy. second lottery pick gone. soon i maybe jumping off this train if we don't do something

[polarcat]

we rode the may train long enough....glad we got off when we did (actually, never wish we got on, but that horse has been beaten to death). i hope he can salvage something out of his career, though i doubt it so whatevs. his knees are shot, he lacks the conditioning and discipline to be a player and he's made more than enough money in the league to live a good life. i'm just glad that headache is over. now, if we could just move a couple of sh*t contracts out and bring in some young bench help, all will be well.

[rsxnova]

The good news is that we must have some ideas for a backup PF.

[amour217]

The minute Sean May arrives in Sacramento, California will fall into the ocean.

[millst2]

HAHAZHAHAHAHAHA

I like May and do Hate to see him go. But fuck that was funny Amour. Still laughing. I actually imagined the plane landing and him walking off and that happening. HAHAHA

But I think the kings are smart, he looks to be in better shape than we have ever seen him. So let's see.

[Marvel]

I'm with the "screw him" camp. This guy....... i hope he has as good a career as Shelden Williams

[superb1]

ok ok Sean is gone but I'm not sure if we could have done it, could we have done a sign and trade to the Kings.

http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=lctbb5

using this trade and adding in Sean May and Ike Dioku in sign and trades.

The Kings have been said that they could possibly trade Martin. He has been injured too. I don't know alot about his play expect that he was a second round pick that is avg. 24 ppg for the Kings

He is entering the third season of his five-year contract worth approximately $53 million, with the prospect of being traded more possible than before, if only because 17-win teams must be open to everything. Martin knows that much, but said he hopes to see the turnaround all the way through.

Some comments from the article on ESPN:

Oliver Miller 2.

What a waste of a draft pick for Charlotte, that city deserves a playoff team after what Shinn did to them

Too bad he wasn't 300 lbs in college, then he wouldn't have destroyed the Illini in the title game.

The restaurants in Sacramento are set!

Haha, you signed the "Round Mound of Rehab".

Sean May "Not be in the league next year."


Someone needs to "twitter" this to him! If it doesn't encourage him I don't know what will.... well actually maybe a Whopper with Cheese.

And of course......

Ok, the obvious...

Burger King.

[docend24]

I'm with the "screw him" camp. This guy....... i hope he has as good a career as Shelden Williams

Don't be nice!

Excpect famine in California. Ifr you have realtives there tell them to buy as much food as they can as long as there is some.

[amour217]

I'm actually shocked Sean May didn't sign with the Phoenix Suns...I mean they could've provided the perfect-fit home for him: the Grand Canyon

[rsxnova]

Sean May " Are you ready for 2012."

[Ghost Kat]

I need to find a icon for my hater alarm, But anyway thank you and good bye you fat bastard. I clearly hate Sean May period, no coma. As a business man I wouldn't have wasted 4 more seconds of my time with Sean May on my payrole. I will be in the soul of anyone hating from the sidelines at Sean May's games.

[tamburello]

Sean May talks about his past and future.


Sean May: “I will prove everybody wrong”


You worked out for several teams that last few weeks. Why did you choose Sacramento and not any of the the other teams?

Sean May: Just because I liked the fact that Sacramento is a young team, with a lot of young guys that are also talented. They have a new staff coming in. They’ve always had great fan support and the community there is great. It was just a good fit. The other teams I worked out for, sure I could have gone there. I just thought it was a better opportunity in Sacramento.

Did you have other offers on the table aside from Sacramento?

SM: I did have an offer from Cleveland. We were also taking to Portland, but no offer on the table from them.

What kind of player do you see yourself becoming for the Kings?

SM: A guy that can come in and help them win games. I feel like I can play inside/out. I can help with my rebounding ability. I just think it’s a good fit. I just can help them.

You’ve had some injury problems that have kept you off the court. How would you rate your health now?

SM: Feel great. My knees are strong. It’s the best I’ve felt in a long, long time. Yeah, I’ve had knee injuries that have taken me long to overcome, but I’m fine right now. My career is hopefully going to be injury-free from this point on.

What are the learning experiences you take from your years playing with the Bobcats?

SM: I loved the city of Charlotte and I loved playing for the organization. It’s been great for me. They’ve always supported me. Unfortunately, I have been been injured and I wasn’t able to live up to the expectations for myself that I had and the ones the organization had for me. It was great while I was in Charlotte, but I just felt it was time for a fresh start.

What kind of relationship you had with Larry Brown and Michael Jordan there?

SM: Larry Brown and I were fine. Great coach. Tremendous teacher. I think he’s one of the few guys in the league who actually teaches. MJ, my relationship with him was great. I never had a bad relationship with anybody on the staff or the organization.

How different was Larry Brown to other coaches you’ve had in your career?

SM: He’s a little bit different. Obviously, he’s more old-school in certain ways. He teaches a lot more than other NBA coaches. He was great as far as his understanding of the game and his language with the players. But he can be difficult to play for at times ’cause he’s hard on all players.

When did you realize the conditioning/weight issues you’ve had were becoming a real issue for your NBA career?

SM: Honestly, I never felt like I had weight issues. You know, I asked them where they wanted me to play at. They said 260 and I was around 260 all year. Conditioning? When you don’t play, it’s tough to be in game shape. I felt like I’ve always been in pretty good shape. I don’t feel like the conditioning was the reason why I wasn’t playing. I just wasn’t playing.

There were fans in Charlotte that were very critical with you. Was it tough? How did you deal with that?

SM: Oh yeah. It’s always tough when people criticize, when they are critical of you. But you deal with it and you go on. I think that anything you do, people are going to have an opinion. If you can take the good, then you should be able to take the bad. I understand that people were critical with me. Yeah, it bothered me. But life will go on and I’ll do what I’ll do.

What do you say to all the people that have written you off?

SM: I would say that I understand that they have an opinion and I appreciate that. But that’s my goal, that’s what I will do… I will prove everybody wrong. Yeah, there’s people that have written me off and that’s fine. I understand that and I accept that challenge.

Do you stay in touch with your teammates at North Carolina?

SM: Oh yeah, without a doubt. I live in Chapel Hill in the summer with Marvin (Williams). I talked to Raymond (Felton) actually yesterday. Jawad Williams, I’m going to his wedding today. We are all really close. We always stay in contact with each other.

Which of those guys do you think have a better chance of becoming a star in the NBA?

SM: I think Marvin has a really good chance of becoming a star. He’s gotten better every year. He averages double figures. Once he gets in a situation when his role is a little bit bigger, you’ll see a lot more from him. Same situation with Raymond. I think he’ll end up being a real star in this league. Rashad (McCants) and I are in kind of in the same position right now. We’re fighting right now for an opportunity.

You think Raymond Felton is going to stay in Charlotte? What’s going to happen with that?

SM: I don’t know. And right now, he doesn’t now. Right now, it’s just a waiting game. As of now the situation in the NBA… A lot of teams aren’t spending money right now. You’re just waiting to see what happens. David Lee, everyone thought he’d be locked up right now, but he’s waiting for a contract. You see what happens and just go on.

[SWedd523]

Bullshit. I have yet to meet a single Charlotte fan that's been critical of McMay. I mean really fatass, you don't have to lie!

[Walt Cronkite]

To be totally honest, he didn't say anything too hate-able except for when he lied about his weight issue and tried to say you can only be conditioned by playing NBA games.

[teej]

He lied about the fans, his weight, and his relationship with LB. He hasn't changed a bit.

[amour217]

Sean May is so fat, his new team will now have to be called the King Kongs

[Walt Cronkite]

How did he lie about the fans? I'll concede the lb point, Larry definitely seemed to imply that the team relied on May and he left them high and dry because of his work ethic.

[teej]

SM: I loved the city of Charlotte and I loved playing for the organization. It’s been great for me. They’ve always supported me.

That's what I'm talking about.

[davcbow]

I heard Sean May ate the kings.....:cool:

[Demon DeaCat]

I really don't see what's so bad or untruthful about anything he said. The fans have definitely been critical of May. Many of the people on this board have been very outspoken about their hatred of him. As far as the conditioning piece, I don't think he's being untruthful about that at all. Anyone who's played sports knows that practice isn't the same as live competition. You can workout and be "in shape" in a general sense, but he's right that you have to play to be in game shape.

May has taken a lot of abuse from our fan base. To some degree he's brought that on himself, but despite all the darts that have been thrown his way, he's always taken the high road. Never once has he been anything other than complimentary of this organization, the fans, LB, his teammates, or the city as a whole.

I guess if you don't like him, you don't like him, but I don't see how that could be based on anything in this article.

[docend24]

I laughed at comment of one Sacto fan at RealGM - somthing like "if you would be really quite you could hear centercourt ordering more food" - it was like third reply in thread about May may join Kings. LOL.

[Ghost Kat]

Good Bye Sean May :thumbdown:
