I see you're so experienced in negotiating compensation agreements.  You do know what "Retroactive" means, right?  You also kow that it's a component to over half of renegotiated coaching contracts?  Oh, you don't...because you aren't involved in negotiating compensation agreements.  Better luck with your next post when you write about something you know nothing about.

explain your comment, dumbass.  it's the only way i can make an informed post about how stupid it was.

So, it is already guaranteed that Currie has either cost us:

a)  Frank Martin - Frank leaves, speaks for itself.
b)  Hundreds of thousands of dollars a year - What could we have locked Frank up for at the end of last season?  Beginning of this season?  When he slapped Merys?  We aren't made of money you dumbf^ck! 



I think it was worth the risk of several hundred thousand dollars to make sure we didn't have any letdown this year.  And I think that Frank's value did most of it's growth in the first part of the season.  If he cost's us "a", it's a major male genitals-up.

Um, retroactive means that they pay part of the compenastion for past service--so if you can muster your imagination (not holding my breath on that), imagine a contract negotiation in May.  One POTENTIAL component of that is for Currie to say, hey look, you were worth more than the $750k+change we were paying you during the season, so we'll RETROACTIVELY pay you an additional (insert appropriate dollar amount here) for that portion of your services during that period. 


It may seem difficult to understand for you, that that's what it means.  It allows payment for past service that was undercompensated in order to clarify the fair market value of FUTURE service (you know, the new contract).

That you require clarification in order to tell someone how stupid they are speaks volumes about your overall knowledge of this discussion--and it's not a flattering picture, DUMBASS.

thanks.  yeah, then your comment was as Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) as it appeared at first glance.  currie made no effort to extend martin last spring, and this fall extended an offer that by all by all accounts was insultingly low.  there is no reason to conclude that compensating martin for his below-market salary over the last several years has ever occurred to currie.

Will the government get involved if we try to pay Frank in uranium?  I mean, think about where he's from.  This could be difficult.

I think there may be some sort of tax on it.  I am pretty sure he won't be allowed to send any back to relatives still in Cuba

Yeah, Frank being Mexican and all, they might think he's trying to build an A-Bomb with that uranium.   :dunno:

So we should agree to give Frank the Uranium, as long as he agrees he isn't building a giant Mexican nuke, agreed?  Then we name the NBAF after him.  Whats fracking taking Currie so long, I think we just hammered this out.

My uncle built Frank's house, so I'll find out from him if he has an underground uranium cellar or something



BTW, I love when people get on here and act like fracking Scott Boras or whatev....deputy...just cause you talked a guy down from $50 to $35 for a TV you bought on craigslist doesn't mean you're a contract negotiating god.  Now shut your face.   :nono:
