On sl game dude just said jkidd told him today that when he was free agent with nets he met with spurs and committed to them after meeting but after plane ride back to jersey family had change of heart and stayed on nets. Said he thinks about it often.... Oh what could of been

 

[art vandelay]

They got that dude from washington in the draft that I think they'll groom to take over eventually. Either way depth is huge issue for them at all positions basically. I still dont get the diaw trade. I kno pop was constantly on him about his wieght and maybe he had enough

Said it before, that Diaw loss is going to hurt. I hate they traded him, dude was versatile as hell. He could do almost everything except for shoot from distance. I'm glad he got s ring though.

Multiple time champ.

Dammit, family. Kidd would have multiple rings.

 Dude will just move to the 4 full time once he can no longer run around on the perimeter; 260 pounds is still heavier than most centers

All of this

Cat's saying he won't have anything to offer after his Athleticism fades is rather shocking to me.

In 5 years the average NBA center might be smaller than him, he will be fine.

The small center trend is starting now. The teams have traditional centers that start the games, then they're benched. Draymond comes to mind, they even did it with Justise Winslow in the Toronto series

Fair enough. I respect your opinion. I take it you and the homie Wavy don't listen to rap/hip hop music correct because of said use of the word? If you either of you do your hypocrites.

if you're black then i'm white lol

Thought yall' were both white TBH

 

[Moheezy]

Sully just signed with the raptors. Very good signing on a team friendly deal of 6 mil.

if im whiteside, i know that ill be the face of the team within 2-3 years. the face of miami. *dj khaled voice* i like that. surrounded by allstar and HOF vets, new young talent, and in an attractive market where bringing in more talent isnt an issue. but sure... tunnel vision.

Miami is literally dragic, Whiteside, Richardson, justise, and scrubs. The front office is so incompetent. I can't believe it.

I'm no longer a Miami Heat fan.

OUCH

Is there still hope for Patty Mills? I feel like he was at his peak 2 years ago and never took off from there.

His shoulder surgery hurt him.

what? u use miami to support the small center argument? we had lost both bosh, and whiteside. we dont have a choice but to go small....

i havent read anyone say he wouldnt have anything to offer after athleticism fades. who said that?

gif it up ALL you like...

"if im whiteside, i know that ill be the face of the team within 2-3 years. the face of miami. *dj khaled voice* i like that. surrounded by allstar and HOF vets, new young talent, and in an attractive market where bringing in more talent isnt an issue. but sure... tunnel vision."

but the only place where i was wrong is.... whiteside is the face of the team now instead of in 2-3 years. there are still HOFs AND vets (plural) around him, there is still new young talent, its still an attractive market where bringing in talent wont be an issue which is why theyre looking like the landing spot for westbrook next summer. much less, whiteside DID resign here. so YOU lost that argument.

"Miami is literally dragic, Whiteside, Richardson, justise, and scrubs. The front office is so incompetent. I can't believe it."

yea....this is true. unless u see something wrong in that

"I'm no longer a Miami Heat fan."

is this to support your example of how i was wrong about something somewhere?

so again i ask....where was i wrong?

McBob
STAT
UD

And I used GS as well.

 

[tekthemaestro]

McBob
STAT
UD

u have SOME nerve mentioning McBob in a conversation about players in the nba

stat SHOULDVE been utilized at some point... but.... spo. and ud? playing center in an elimination game? be serious art. like i said, we lost both bosh and whiteside. we had no choice but to go small.

I hear/read what you're saying. SPO. Enough said.

Look if i need to point out how wrong you were about the Heat, than we can end it here. You died a little as a competent poster here a week ago. All credibility out the window.

Standard Heat fan. About 87.8% of the Heat fan base consists of people like you. FACTS

 

[tekthemaestro]

I hear/read what you're saying. SPO. Enough said.

im so glad u understand. i always catch fire for saying spo is a trash coach.

 

[casper90403]

This i can agree with. About the only right thing you've said about the Heat. But even a clock is right twice per day

Lebron saved his ***. Born wanted him fired, Riles didn't want to fire him and empower Bron, Bron and the 2016 Cavs are champions, Spo is holding on to hope that Bosh returns, at the max, while the cornerstone of the franchise plays in Chi-town should he sign the contract.

87.8% of our fan base are born and raised in miami, been heat fans for the past 26 years, called correctly that financially we're cornered if whiteside takes the max, also called correctly that whiteside was staying for aforementioned reasons, also called correctly that the heat were about to tank if we didnt dip in the luxury tax, also called correctly that we wouldnt land durant which was our biggest "play" before the FA started?

if 87.8% of heat fans are like me... man we did alright.

 

[tekthemaestro]

a regular clock is right a little bit more than twice per day casper 

 

[a-friend]

Probably worse.

LeBron relies on his skills and athleticism.

Once that fades, he will be nothing.

No jumpshot, no post moves, I mean how else can he be effective?
