2016 Official NBA Off-Season Thread: Former Greatness

[Based Jesus]

Did some reading, the Heat can offer slightly less than their max and it would be about equal to what the Lakers would give him at the max.

Damn state taxes.

Whiteside too dumb to account for taxes. He's going to whoever shows him the bigger number

 

[awwsome]

Gastonia is definitely not a poor town most of the people I've met from there are rich, nerdy white kids who ran cross country

Never said the town was poor but he grew up poor on a farm.

Your experience ain't universal.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Classic man

 

[freeze]

i''m really surprised Dude is willing to leave a place with no state income tax. F that. Especially when you'll typically break even somewhere else.

 

[awwsome]

I think the old rich GM prioritizes winning a championship rather than making his owner more money. Maybe that's just me.

You can't be serious.

You do know winning championships boosts a franchise value right?

Winning championships = making money.

Whiteside also said, "I'm a business man that plays basketball."

Sounds to me like the Lakers should just dust off the failed presentations to Dwight & Lamarcus and go for a 3rd try. They're gonna resonate a hell of a lot more with Hassan.

If she gonna **** a ***** with a conk in his hair in 2016, I don't even want her.

Exactly, if they give him a billboard like they did Dwight, he gonna be house shopping in Calabases within an hour.

I'm willing to bet he would make more in LA than in Miami after endorsements.

That. And dude has a weird complexion to him, like a plantain or boiled peanuts or something.

Absolutely.

Even though markets don't matter as much as they used to, LA and NYC still GOAT.

this 

reason why i hated the fact that LBJ james won this year

Dan Gilberts lame *** can now fill his pockets even more. **** dan gilbert

#neverforget the letter and his role in #basketballreasons

 

[junglejim]

Absolutely.

After seeing how many commercials D'snitchelo has been in, I am will to bet he is going to get an immediate boost in endorsement money.  Not to mention in Miami he is the third guy.  In LA, he would be the face of the franchise until D'lo and Ingram develop.

The Vertical is doing another stream show this Thursday for free agency.

 

[lovehateself]

in woj we trust

 

[miamin2]

So Pat Riley is a racist now? What?

And because of that it was good that Bron went back to play for Dan Gilbert, who has a stellar reputation right? I don't even know what this dude is getting at, seems to me like a personal angst against the Heat in general

 

[freeze]

damn..not even a week in and son *** cheeks already

Obviously. Riley is not the owner though.

at hinting that he's a racist

Yup. He clearly does.

 

[pmatic]

I just don't know how the Heat improve moving forward unless they find a taker for Bosh (zero chance) or Dragic (maybe at best?) while retaining Whiteside and Wade for market value.
