2020-21 NBA Offseason thread: Officially a wrap

[krazy88s]

I feel it, the south cost of living is luv...I’m trying to decide on my next job, Houston looking great but the salary so low compared to the numbers thrown at me out DC...Tough decisions but the money be callin me

Could never live in NYC tho, little value and just wayyy too many ppl for me

NY is top of the list where people are leaving. Not too far behind is NJ. Brand new expensive apts and condos are being built all over the northeast. No idea who's moving in them

 

[frshstunna]

Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Dallas, Austin is the move.

I wouldn’t recommend moving to ATL at this point unless you bringing your salary with you or cool with living in the burbs with nothing but driving and traffic...The cost of living in and close to the city done went up a lot but they still paying like it’s 2008 in most places

But if you coming from an OD expensive place like NYC or Cali I get it, none of that matters

Only hear good **** about Houston. Beautiful women and rich black community.

I think me and my wife might move there eventually.

Houston vs Atlanta ?

 

[VARNELL HILL]

I'm sure NBA all stars are pissed their week vacation in Indiana in the middle of winter got pushed back

Plus 2022 is what ****** are REALLY looking towards

 

[MVP]

How are you a Florida fan my dude? I thought you were a BLACK CONSERVATIVE like me, @dcallamerican , @KHUFU and @RustyShackleford .

Much more than a fan, my G

 

[MVP]

This has to be the worst city run of all star games in NBA history

 

[B Sox]

Don't think I could do the south or NYC.

SoCal would probably be the only place I'd leave the Mid Atlantic for.

 

[206to813]

I love Atlanta , I spent 2006-2011 there, been in FL since... I liked it here for a while but last few years been missing Atlanta, might move back eventually

 

[Hahahaha]

Houston vs Atlanta ?

Houston cause of taxes but we talk about both

so one could easily argue that they love the benefits of diversity, but not diversity. for example, i don't love working out, but i love the results i get from working out. maybe someone should send out a khufu signal, so he can explain this to me.

This probably will end up sounding kind of Polluyanna-ish, but I actually like diversity.

I went to a high school where all other ethnicities combined outnumbered the white kids. I had/have White, Black, Asian and Hispanic friends - female and male.
Being privy to all those different cultures influenced me and made me who I am. I still enjoy being around a lot of different types of people. Makes the world more interesting to me.

I don’t think I’d prefer to live in a completely homogenous community, but I never have, so I guess I don’t really know.

 

[frshstunna]

Anywhere you go in Texas is gonna be pretty insanely spread out, but Houston just ain't it.

DFW and Austin are significantly better.

And I think yo part of a different demographic if you feel me ...If bruvas is taking a trip to TX, we def going to Houston for the most fun and best experience

 

[BIG FISH]

Nba was wildin having Indiana and Cleveland back to back anyway

 

[akajae]

Can you guys take this to regional.
-Foe

 

[frshstunna]

Y’all know what the league was trying do...They had to bring ASW weekend around to these places eventually so they said F it, run em back to back get em out the way for the next 20+ years

 

[SORIANOTRON]

So Joe Lochab still paying for media cycles this season huh....

 

[BIG FISH]

Bruh I forgot about Salt Lake City too
Silver bugging fr

 

[aepps20]

Much more than a fan, my G

WHAT IS HAPPENING? Never been this disappointed in my life.

 

[akajae]

In before antidope tells us how much fun Salt Lake City is

But that shift we had back on 2004 in da mines you told me that you were Coal Gang for life which is when I became a Clippers fan despite already being a Lakers fan.

Deep Ellum became crowded trash. That was my only place I enjoyed. Wasn’t a fan of uptown or greenville

Houston downtown had a less crowded vibe but still suitable and enjoyable spots. I’m sure I didn’t even see the other good spots too

 

[Based Jesus]

can someone reconcile this for me? people love to say they love diversity, but the majority of the time, people stick to their race in terms of which section they live in the city, their group of friends, where they send their kids, etc.


imo people just say that **** because it's a social desirable thing to say but don't mean much...people just wanna virtue signal

Diversification is a matter of social opportunity, not personal decisions to collect as many ethnicities as possible like a 90s cartoon. It's about breaking down the socioeconomic barriers that deny people the right to live how they want, where they want and with who they want. It's ridiculous to attribute black people living in majority black neighborhoods to virtue signaling instead of oh idk, redlining. Or to point to HBCU's as a symbol of hypocrisy when the only reason they exist is because of educational segregation. Both problems that still endure even after the civil rights era.

 

[antidope]

NJ infrastructure is not built to handle all of these people moving in.

And the amount of money they want for a new build house.... MAN.

Don't Sleep! The cost of living and all the outdoors stuff.

 

[youngthundercat]

Exactly. It’s Houston or nothing for me on Texas. Lol

For real for real tho I gotta see Toronto. I heard that **** is insane. Summer time or spring only for me. Damn that winter

 

[steebie j]

As a resident, Houston is it. I couldn’t imagine living anywhere else. This town checks all the boxes. Women gorgeous and cooperative

Man if this ain't the truth
