THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[$tacy]

What has he done tho? What did he do when he got paid? Couple fancy passes and speed? He ain't in a place to talk about another mans money

 

[tomdiginson]

John Wall, another ring less star. Dude boasting about getting into the all star game twice and he think he should be paid like he is Lebron. Dude couldn't even make the FIBA team.

 

[lawdog1]

He a grown *** man and shouldn't be name dropping a mans name/money


That's childish

Agree. He can complain generally, but singling one guy out specifically was lame. Just the nature of the business that not everyone is going to be paid exactly what they're worth at all times. Like someone said, Steph would be perfectly justified in complaining that Wall makes more than him. LeBron could legitimately complain that basically anyone is making near what he does. That's why its still to do specific comparisons like Wall did. That's just now how things work.

So if Steph is justified, how isn't Wall?

The gap between he and Reggie is a lot bigger than Steph and him.

Wall still hasn't done anything to be real.

what would the top 5 be if this draft were held over again?

 

[awwsome]

what would the top 5 be if this draft were held over again?

Boogie
Wall
PG
Favors
Hayward



:x :x :x @ Evan Turner and Wesley Johnson being picked before Boogie.

George or Wall would be #1.

Cousins #3.

Cowherd was right about John Wall

Hayward

real solid draft class.  That would be a hell of a starting 5 right there

That was just an example to show why, IMO, its pointless to make comparisons like Wall did. Unless you're Lebby, there's always going to be someone out there making less than you who arguably should be making more. That's why its best not to put it out there for public consumption and just do what you need to do to get a raise on your next contract.

Pistons vs Wiz Season Opener 

 

[awwsome]

You would say some gump **** like this.

 

[100027]

I'm serious.

Leadership, intangibles.  Things teams with the #1 pick take ultra-seriously.

I like Cousins but he's never going #1.

 

[mr marcus]

Cowherd was right about John Wall

Stop, Colin was disrespectful enough that if wall smacked him it would be justified. Only someone coming from a place of superiority would talk about someone's dead father the way he did

Not even gonna get on the Sean Taylor thing

ok man.


Boogie is the most talented player on both ends, you're going to have to miss me with that.

 

[freeze]

how far we've fallen that Kobe is listed as 'Other' now.

 

[kingjaffejo]

Anthony Davis retire?

 

[dland24]

Anthony Davis retire?

Huh?

 

[freeze]

all other things equal, Russell is a tougher name than Kevin.
