from my experience on this forum i expect to hear nothing but a lot of crickets and bullfrogs.

The only facts I have seen regarding the case are the texts that I posted the links to and other texts by the defendant that were released that imply that she is attempting to extort money. If there is more out there point me in that direction. Have you read the texts?from my experience on this forum i expect to hear nothing but a lot of crickets and bullfrogs.

this is going to get really ugly for him and will become an embarrassment to the knicks franchise and a distraction to the team, unless he pays her a boatload of money. if i am his lawyer i counsel him that he has to do the expedient thing, which vis a vis his team and fellow employees is also the ethical thing: pay her around 5 million before october 4th, or less than 25% of his salary for the season, and move on. if he has the stones he'll do just that. if not he's a punk missing out on an opportunity to build his character.
it is really that simple and will be a good if slightly painful life experience for him.
Ugly for him yes, but NY has already been through this stuff: Isiah/Anucha, Ewing lap dance etc. We will shrug it off and move on.

"Both Sides Accuse Each Other Of Manipulating Texts From Night Of Alleged Rape"
Oops.But the accuser’s attorney said the texts were taken out of context and they actually show that she never OK’d them barging into her house and forcing her into group sex, because she was too out of it to respond because the men allegedly drugged her earlier. The alleged victim’s lawyer said that Rose’s text reveal left out messages from Rose and co-defendant Ryan Allen telling the alleged victim to wake up before she said they allegedly broke in and raped her.
Taken out of context is different from manipulated in my opinion. Also, they are time stamped and the content (repeatedly telling Rose she needs him to come to her place, sending his driver back to get him to bring him to her place at 2:09 in the morning etc.) is pretty damaging to the lawyer's client.

The only person thats affected by this is you.....The knicks are fine. This is baggage he received when he was with the Bulls. JR Smith reckless driving killed his passenger. Ray Lewis was accused of murder, and he's currently a well known celebrity here in bmore and he's well respected. Some people continue to hold on to peoples negative past, others move on. Brady continued to lie about all the allegations against him and the franchise. He dragged it out all season.....4 weeks into the season, after throwing several TD's everything will be back to normal. This will pass, just like Trumps racist comments and his campaign manager calling women dikes. People do and say a lot of cruel things in this world.....But sports has a way to erase negativity, if you allow your game to speak for itself. I can see Rose using this to fuel his game on the court.....And I don't see how this will set the franchise back......Isiah Thomas is a good example. He's still employed by the knicks, after everything he's been through.

While this is true it is also wrong. The Michael Vicks and the Isiahs of the world should not be forgiven. Our need for entertainment allows us to gloss over crimes against humanity and society. Sports doesn't speak for itself when it makes acts of cruelty forgotten it only speaks to how far we have fallen. I don't think NY will hold this against Rose, but I think it should. If DK7th is the only person affected by one of our "star" players being accused of rape or sexual assault it only shows how pathetic the rest of us are as human beings.
Thing is these hoes know they can get away with crying rape without repercussions. So it's worth a try. Women can consent to sex then months and years later claim they didn't really want to do the sex act at that time and can call rape. The funny shit is that is enough to get a conviction. Only thing saving Rose are text messages.he's going to have to settle out of pocket some kind of way eventually.
Remember Kobe got accused of rape but got off Cuz the woman in question had 5 different semen in her underwear? These hoes are really nasty and will do anything to get some money from these athletes. They never learn. Leave these hoes alone. Or at least make them sign waivers and take care of them. You got to pay to play. Otherwise you find yourself in this situation.

not if he and the media circus sure to surround him proves a distraction to the team, quite possibly undermining morale. the lawsuit was brought to federal court. the charges involve sordid behavior and will cause a huge amount of social rubbernecking.

Feel this woman is trying to extort money as she realized her relationship, with him, was not going to end up in marriage and the easy life. If allegations had more strengh, this would have ended up in a criminal case. But your saying he should not defend himaelf from someone trying to extort money, if he believes he is innocent? So we should all just give in to those that can lie and file a civil lawsuit against us to collect money? Think that is a sad comment on what people have become accustomed to. Maybe if more people fought these attempts at legal extortion, by lawyers, we would have less of it around. IMO, It looks better for him that he is fighting this as opposed to paying for it to be swept under the rug. Hopefully it will have a quuck resolution. Although with attorneys, they will know to stretch it out and make it more of a problem for him.

blkexec and others of his ilk apparently live in a fantasy world. this is new york, the media capital of the world, not some 4th-rate american city. seems like a lot of fans on this forum live far from new york city, so they don't have a feel for what will happen. while i am disgusted by the allegations and really don't give two shyts about the plaintiff or the defendant, i do care a lot about my team.
it isn't the moral outrage that is going to be the driving force behind the attention, it's going to be the media itself that will create the distraction, because morbid and sordid fascination and gossip is what sells. "this too will pass" is a fatuous fantasy that some knick fans blithely promote. the reality is the media will grab this and hold on ferociously.
"the medium is the message"
if rose's lawyer's are savvy-- rose is likely a clueless dunce-- they will dumb down the issue for him and urge him to settle. sadly, it seems that they are going the a-rod route of deny deny deny and counterattack. that isn't going to go over too well in court, will it? i hope jennings is getting his shyt together.

Yup. Some excused the DFish drama that season he got his ass beat by Barnes. I said it would be a ticking time bomb, and sure enough, he lost the locker room and his job shortly after. The actions and things you do have a butterfly effect, and we're simply not a good enough organization to endure bad characters. History says so.
Things like this don't just get brushed underneath the rug. They fester like a motherphucker.

you are possibly right about her and her motivations. that is for a jury to decide. but, as i have been saying, even if it smacks of extortion, the expedient thing to do for rose is to settle out of court. is it a sad commentary? yes. but sometimes we need to get off the morality high horse and live in the world of realpolitik.
i am saying what i am saying because the media is going to create a distraction not from any of the moral and ethical implications, but because it thrives on sordidness and scandal.
hence settling out of court is far more preferable vis a vis the new york knicks. then the media has no story and rose and his fans and even his non-fans will have to move on.

What you propose is a testament for the country which swapped truth for perception and political correctness, giving up the main value which make this country what it is. If we will not stop following this deadly path individually and collectively we are up for very dark future. I am with Rose in trying to be a man and face the truth regardless of him being guilty or innocent.
From Wiki:
"Kobe Bryant sexual assault case
The Kobe Bryant sexual assault case began in July 2003 when the news media reported that the sheriff's office in Eagle, Colorado had arrested professional basketball player Kobe Bryant in connection with an investigation of a sexual assault complaint filed by a 19-year-old hotel employee. Bryant had checked into The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera, a hotel in Edwards, Colorado, on June 30 in advance of having surgery near there on July 2 under Dr. Richard Steadman. The woman accused Bryant of raping her in his hotel room on July 1, the night before the surgery.
Bryant admitted to an adulterous sexual encounter with his accuser, but denied the assault allegation. The case was dropped after Bryant's accuser refused to testify in the case. A separate civil suit was later filed against Bryant by the woman. This was settled out of court and included Bryant's publicly apologizing to his accuser, though admitting no guilt on his part."
Without getting into it, as I understand this never made it to authorities. Purely a civil lawsuit. Which makes it about money, not correcting an injustice.

So we should all just give in to those that can lie and file a civil lawsuit against us to collect money? Think that is a sad comment on what people have become accustomed to. Maybe if more people fought these attempts at legal extortion, by lawyers, we would have less of it around. IMO, It looks better for him that he is fighting this as opposed to paying for it to be swept under the rug. Hopefully it will have a quuck resolution. Although with attorneys, they will know to stretch it out and make it more of a problem for him.
you are possibly right about her and her motivations. that is for a jury to decide. but, as i have been saying, even if it smacks of extortion, the expedient thing to do for rose is to settle out of court. is it a sad commentary? yes. but sometimes we need to get off the morality high horse and live in the world of realpolitik.
i am saying what i am saying because the media is going to create a distraction not from any of the moral and ethical implications, but because it thrives on sordidness and scandal.
hence settling out of court is far more preferable vis a vis the new york knicks. then the media has no story and rose and his fans and even his non-fans will have to move on.
It doesn't matter what rose does....if he settles or not, the media will continue to make a story out of it, as long as there's an audience who feeds off this junk......Someone mentioned Mike Vick and his dog fighting as an example......what about the KKK leader who backs trump and continues to run for office. He has more blood and crime on his hands that will make rose look like an angel. All these elected officials have done far more negative things to people and children vs fighting dogs and having sex. If u going to lean hard on rose then be consistent and make sure to make a thread for these child molesters and rapist who continue to run for office while spending your tax money in strip clubs. I'm not oblivious to what rose or Fisher has done. But if you want to affect change, don't start with the lower level guys who simply lacks the maturity or because the media decides who u should focus on. Go after the top guys who shouldn't even be aloud to walk this earth. I will have more respect for you then. Jumping on rose without the facts doesn't move the needle.....rose is our PG....and I look forward to seeing him in a knick uniform this season.
As far as being politically correct, if you want to create a site for all these low life's, I will be the first to sign up. But rose will not be at the top of my very long list of low life's.

"Kobe Bryant sexual assault case
The Kobe Bryant sexual assault case began in July 2003 when the news media reported that the sheriff's office in Eagle, Colorado had arrested professional basketball player Kobe Bryant in connection with an investigation of a sexual assault complaint filed by a 19-year-old hotel employee. Bryant had checked into The Lodge and Spa at Cordillera, a hotel in Edwards, Colorado, on June 30 in advance of having surgery near there on July 2 under Dr. Richard Steadman. The woman accused Bryant of raping her in his hotel room on July 1, the night before the surgery.Bryant admitted to an adulterous sexual encounter with his accuser, but denied the assault allegation. The case was dropped after Bryant's accuser refused to testify in the case. A separate civil suit was later filed against Bryant by the woman. This was settled out of court and included Bryant's publicly apologizing to his accuser, though admitting no guilt on his part."
Without getting into it, as I understand this never made it to authorities. Purely a civil lawsuit. Which makes it about money, not correcting an injustice.
Rose won't serve jail time, but it's the fact he has no one else to blame for this mess, just like Kobe.
It took a public apology, a giant rock the size of the moon, and a few years of rebuilding his rep from a raping a#shole to just a plain a#shole.
As for Rose, him being from a gang background and no wife to apologize to...he'll probably just throw a huge club party and throw 'em up again!
