2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

[rolaholic]

So when it's all said and done.

Let's say KD has 3 rings and 1 finals mvp and is considered one of the greatest scorer of all time.

Is OKC retiring his jersey for giving them 1 mvp, 7 all star, rookie of the year, 4 scoring champ AND the best run they ever had to ger a ring.

That's if the team stays in okc

The Sonics will definitely retire his jersey in 2030

 

[mjdalegend]

can't play this team on 2k

 

[tay1]

It's crazy how people want you to stay put and waste your life and hope for your team to get better. These players owe nothing to the teams they're on. 

 

[Armada]

OKC folks are livid

See this the **** that make me glad when dudes leave fans acting like these dudes owe them anything when they really don't.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I hope Russ extends in OKC. I think he can still lead that team, yeah they lost KD, which is a huge loss, but maybe there is a diamond in the rough that can help him out because I honestly don't want to see a tear down and rebuild for OKC, I got respeck for that city. Word to Allibaster

It's over for OKC man. Russ is gone.

@ESPNSteinLine: The Knicks are about to strike a deal with Brandon Jennings, according to league sources

1/$5M

Love this pickup. He has his flaws but a short term deal for next to nothing is great.

Oh it's only 1 year for 5 mil? Then yeah sure he can be an inefficient chucker off the bench for us.

Not like we have much to lose 

 I'm acting like we're a contender or something talmbout "Ehhhh idk"

[dman14]

thank god i'm not attached to sports like that. must be bad when you live in a city where the sport teams is the only thing going for that area
end of the day, you got to realize that the owners/players do what's best for them and just enjoy the product

Burning jerseys and t shirts. Fine.

Showing up and making videos on this man's property? Not fine.

 

[noblekane]

Pau likes the post and So do Lamarcus. Both weak defensively

gonna be such a weak front court defensively

pau is the worst on defense

duncan will probably fall apart

rip spurs

i doubt pau cares about winning all about the money. he got two rings already anyways

now all they need is to sign baron davis to back up tony parker

That was too much, like does Kev owe this dude? They gave him this or that, Kev gave them relevancy.

 

[superblytrife]

You're really gonna show up at dude's crib like that? I don't know why fans think athletes owe them anything, talmbout "we gave you". It just ain't that deep.

 

[dontbelikethat]

As a Seattle basketball fan...

 

[noblekane]

Food. Totally food. But we're the only team that remotely stands a chance. They need to trade us Westbrook.

spurs are done. a healthy clippers will beat them

 

[hand2handking]

 

[dmbrhs]

r/Sonics is glorious today lol

 

[Mr Dink]

This is why I don't buy jerseys until a player has retired. You never know what can happen in their career.

*looks at my Melo Nuggets jersey*

Thought he'd have some kind of palace in Okc but I guess that's not really in his personality
