Let's see if I can address all of your idiocy in one post (I doubt it, but I'm ever the optimist.)
Regarding Stoudamire:
It seems that I am able to grasp the concept of contractual agreements. Highlighting the word "player" doesn't change that.
Regarding the "summit" of Bosh, Wade, and James:
The three of them were out of their contracts. It was illegal for teams to negotiate with players until a few days later (Thursday, I think.) Players had already declared themselves free agents, thus preventing themselves from being contacted by their own teams. If they were still under contracts, the Raptors/Cavs/Heat could have called them each, respectively.
And, once again, how do I know that all of these actions you're bitching about were legal? I don't need to check a rulebook, because there are various others who do that for us, most notably the various teams that would have an interest in benefiting from the misconduct on the part of a player or manager for a competing team. If Melo had been tampered with, the Nuggets would have filed a grievance.
I don't know why you think you are going to be able to play armchair rules lawyer better than a multi-hundred million dollar league and a billion dollar media industry. Okay, that's a lie... I know why, but it doesn't make you any less dense.
