2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

Damn - basketball God payback for the DeAndre thing, I guess.

you think? I look at it as the Clippers dodged having to pay him 3/$85M. Is he still playing at a high level?

I didn’t want him, no. I was just referring to the part of the FO allegedly being on their way to his house when the Bulls deal went down.

'damn this ***** musty'

Westbrook actually drags this team below the Super threshold.

Bron’s first time competing for a championship without a super team.

Have you not seen the Lakers rosters since he got there? First year they were cheeks and the past two years was just him and AD in terms of superstars. And let’s not act like Russ isn’t a major upgrade over German Rondo.

 

[dacomeup]

Demar rather move to Chiraq than play for the home team? Yikes.

Rather get the bag one last time

And if he signed with the Clippers, he would have been a third option (eventually) or worse. DDR probably not ready to take on that kind of role yet.

If there's even a 1% chance that I might negatively impact the rest of my life, or potentially die, there's no way I'm coming back to play for the veteran minimum. Not with the amount of money that Alridge has earned.

Being there for his wife and kids is far more important than earning the veteran minimum in Brooklyn. Go home and be a family man, LaMarcus.

He's technically a FA and Woj said on tv that he plans to talk to "several teams in the coming weeks".

As a human being, I want him to stay retired and just kick back and enjoy life. But that's not on me to tell that man what best suits him.

Now as a Nets fan, I'd be like bro, you better come back to BK, not nooooo other team. Bc in hindsight, with all the injuries, LMA's retirement really hurt. Bruce Brown likely wouldn't have had the opportunity to even be in the game to miss that bunny.

The situation was so dire that you dipped with the playoffs coming up. And I respect that. But I'm not trying to hear him wanting to come back NOW if I'm a Nets fan.

LMA better stay his *** in retirement

 

[shuges]

Everyone knows this is a superteam and the only team that is able to compete is the Nets.

Only drawback for both are injuries ....

No one is saying they are washed, not a damn person .... someone, again, is trying to control the narrative.

Superteam and anything but the title will be a failure.

You were going good with me until you got to the "no one is saying they are washed" part. Are you serious?

Most of the Lakers roster not playing 82 games.

That’s not really saying much

 

[NickFolarin]

Why does LeBron have underdog syndrome?

Like he hasn't been on a team that has been project to make the Finals for the past decade?

 

[MajinZuub]

Most of the Lakers roster not playing 82 games.

Most of any roster doesn’t play 82 games

tomdiginson how many games you think they play?

 

[Rootin4EverybodyBlack]

I’m not a LeBron hater but his tweets are really corny

thank god social media wasn’t like it is now back in the day

 

[aepps20]

LMA needs someone to tell him that his life isn't worth losing over this sport. Hopefully no team gives him a chance.

LMA signs with another team after retiring would be nasty. You retire for health concerns, which is fine, then be like "oh, false alarm"

no brainer. What he's going to make the next 3 years is about half of what he made in his 12 year career. This is a bag you cant pass on.

Nobody cares if Demar wins a ring, except for him and his fam. It doesnt change his career.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Only a few more hours til tip. I'm pulling for USA v Luka. So Aussie Weeknd gotta chill

 

[shuges]

I mean that insane proposal that got reported widely made sense slightly toned down…. Wiggins + 2/3 firsts, no wiseman is something the Warriors should take.

Not that ScoopB is trustworthy

I'm not taking anything less than an All Star and/or a stud young player in return if I'm Philly.

Wiggins and some picks would be an embarrassment imo.
