Dog seriously....just go do a simple search of Animal Thug and look at the content. That's him man

I have. I kinda let some stuff slide because I don't really know the Cavs staff so maybe he telling the truth. But you can't post a badge because of personal info (none of the people I know that work at the Q have this issue), you cussed out a player AT A PLAYOFF GAME and weren't reprimanded (I'm about 1000% sure Dan isn't that unethical but that's an easy call to verify), he spelled Dru's name wrong, and then you claimed Bron ran home to save a marriage when he didn't even propose until 2011 and I know for an absolute fact that is NOT the whole reason. Dude must have went to Lake or some weak school that Bron s*** on and he's jealous.

Didn’t go to Lake didn’t grow up on a farm. If I’m erroring in years that happens. But he definitely ran home after he was in Miami, Savannah publicly spoke about in Us magazine. Besides the point, all bets and rules were off in the 2016 finals. Zero ****s given. From Dan on down.

Getting traded isn't breaching a contract. What's the parallel here?

Blake Griffin...DeMar Derozan...and whoever else has been made to be a "victim" of "unloyal" franchises...are still getting every ****ing red cent of the deals they signed. Those contracts are being honored. And unless you ask for and are granted a NO TRADE CLAUSE... that means that contractually you UNDERSTAND THAT YOU CAN BE TRADED.

Okay & as long as players aren't purposely sitting out games or refusing to play for a franchise they aren't breaching their contract either. There is nothing in those contracts stating that players can't publicly state their discomfort or trust in a franchise. The franchises are getting every red cent from the players & MORE.

So just like the players understand they can get traded, franchises gotta understand that players can also request a trade, Once that happens the franchise has the freedom to grant that or not, but as long as a player is willing to suit up they are 100% honoring the contract. Their is nothing in the CBA stopping players or their teams from voicing grievances with the state of their team & it shouldn't.

I'm tired of this ******** *** narrative being floated around, Players are MORE than providing their worth to teams.

I can put a sticky note over my work ID right now and post it. But that's too complicated for this guy to figure out apparently

 

[Duke330]

I'm at work right now, laughing with this chick from Green about this mystery place in between

It’s not a mystery, I grew up in Canton moved to Akron and back to Canton to finish high school before college

Someone could photoshop the sticky note out of the picture tho

Randy Mims is a goon, Rich isn’t. Mav isn’t. Don’t put words in my mouth.

in your older post you stated all 3 as goons. you need to go back an check your older posts before you make new ones

Additionally nobody considers green a city. It’s a township. It’s just a high school and a couple golf courses

Two more things. 1. Several other teams had high level players request trades and they got something done by the deadline because they weren't operating out of spite and greed 2. If it means that much to them they can bench him. 100k is peanuts

Canton is an hour away from Cleveland and like 10-15 minutes south of Green. You not from Canton my guy. NO ONE from Canton would say they're from the middle of Green and Canal Fulton because they're both basically Akron and Green isn't even in Stark county. Matter of fact, I have never in my life heard any person from any city in Ohio not immediately check you for getting their city wrong. Quit lying. You from the sticks

Proud graduate of McKinley high school class of 2004. Green is in fact stark county, summit county line is north of the exit past the green family fun zone. Canal Fulton is south west of canton, green is north. Try again.

What school did you go to in Akron

And if it takes you an hour to get to Cleveland from canton, you drive slow. Got up to the game in 43 minutes the other night.

Trying to flex to a bunch of guys about your fake job on an Internet sneaker forum.

You hate to see it.

 

[Duke330]

What school did you go to in Akron

Firestone for two years, sophomore and part of junior year before the family moved back to Canton.

You're speaking of two different things.

The kind of players that are being traded at a moments notice, without fanfare are mid tier or average players. Those type of players are not providing 'more than their worth to teams'. If they were they wouldn't be getting traded.

You seem to be using franchise level players as the center of your rebuttals. Those type of players owners would keep forever if they could (unless they get hurt). And if an owner changes his mind about a player getting franchise level money it is really hard to move that contract, because another team would likely be unwilling to absorb it.

I haven’t watched the actual All-Star Game in its entirety in at least 3 years. Still watch All-Star Saturday Night, but usually on DVR with a lot of fast-forwarding.

But,yeah, actually going to ASW would be a whole different thing.

Truth. Watching the stuff on tv vs. being there is on another level.

Three years ago (Toronto) I got to experience things firsthand, somehow my lucky *** scored tix to all three events through various means:
-Rising Stars Game: trash. Sorry for those going, but very rarely are you gonna be entertained ie. the Lebron/Melo lob show
-Saturday Night: usually more miss than hit. Luckily we got treated to Lavine vs Gordon, and the building could not catch it's breath. Still probably one of if not THE most fun sporting event I've ever attended
-Sunday Night: game's trash from a basketball standpoint (but we already knew that). Had significance for being Kobe's last one though.

For those attending this year get out there and hope you have a good time! Place should be buzzing (no pun intended), I remember the city definitely had a different vibe to it that weekend. Gonna be tons of special events, pop-ups, etc. so watch out for those. I got a free haircut from Drake's barber courtesy of Nike/JB lol (yes, really)
