2020-21 NBA Offseason thread: Officially a wrap

[nick.]

Interesting...

Even as a die hard fan of the sport, I'm not making time to watch a game that doesn't involve the Yankees.

Most of the 3.5-4 hours you'll spend watching a playoff game is the pitcher walking around the mound. It's just not really a fun sport to watch without a rooting interest.

Baseball and Football are two peas in a trash sport pod.

Bum *** boy

Trezz trying to take Bev spot as most annoying Clipper.

 

[smedroc]

I bet Harden regrets not going now

Footage from when Jimmy first entered the yambs establishment...

Wanted Ty Lue but since he’s gone Silas would be my coaching pick now. The more I read about him he definitely should’ve been gotten a head coaching opportunity

Silas hasn’t coached since 03. You’d really want him as coach or that’s just because you think he’s the best available option?

Off season highlight vids are the equivalent of taking a pic of your dcik from underneath.

Things seem way better then they actually are.

 

[BIG FISH]

Wtf lmfao

You’re referring to John Lucas who I don’t want as coach.

Silas is currently the Mavs assistant coach, responsible for their #1 rated offense in NBA history. Also was the youngest assistant coach in the nba at 27, so he’s paid his dues with 20 years assistant coaching.

Yeah my bad. Got em mixed up.

Stephen Silas should def get a shot. Damn time flies. I remember when he served under his father Paul.

 

[kingjay718]

JR Smith only played 9 games with Sam Dekker for the record. Damn.

1. LeBron and AD (Prime LeBron and current AD are far and away the best combination of offense and defense of this grouping)
2. Steph and Klay
3. KD and Kyrie
4. Kawhi and PG (primarily because PG is the weakest player up here and he's dragging Kawhi down)

Prime Bron is locking up Kyrie like he did Rose in the playoffs whenever he wanted

 

[pmatic]

Did Lavar forget to tell us something?

Interesting...

Baseball is pretty trash now.. Ratings and attendance been declining for a minute. Games are hella slow. Pitchers take mad long to deliver. There's no more small ball. Either a strikeout or home run.

The strike in 1994 essentially ruined baseball in Canada. No one even goes to those things any more. I was up in Montreal and saw an Expos game and got 3 foul balls because there was no one else to get them.

I’m putting KD and Kyrie above Steph and Klay for the simple fact that Klay can’t dribble.

 

[getback]

Yeah I'd have to go KD and Kyrie.

Would be a lit NBA Jam team.

 

[B Sox]

Yeah my bad. Got em mixed up.

My man thought 77 year old Paul Silas was about to coach Jim and Russ

 

[B Sox]

Yeah I'd have to go KD and Kyrie.

Would be a lit NBA Jam team.

Kyrie gonna guard Bron?

 

[getback]

Kyrie gonna guard Bron?

I don't think anyone would guard anyone. It would be a glorified AND1 tournament.

I just picked who I thought was the best offensive tandem

Did Lavar forget to tell us something?

I made them change the arena name after being up there for a few days after they got gentleman's swept. Influence.

 

[MVP]

• “I think he’s an all-time phenomenon. An amazing career. I think he’s a notch below Michael Jordan still but I think it’s amazing how he’s evolved. It’s amazing what he’s done and continues to do. The bad thing, the only bad thing, everyone is afraid to say this and I’m not afraid to say it individually, but I’m just saying this because it’s true. And everybody knows this, who is in this business.

“The worst thing that LeBron is doing is forcing this power with Rich Paul and what that is, in terms of, he’s a player, but he has prowess in the media space. His company Spring Hill, that’s awesome. Doing the movies and all of the projects. That’s so commendable. I love that. But now that they’ve jumped into the agent game, which the reality is, it’s illegal for a player, particularly if you’re in the state of California, to be licensed to represent talent.

“Now I know it’s this façade that it’s Rich Paul, but it’s really LeBron who recruits for Rich Paul. So it’s almost like they’re trying to control AAU at the NBA level. This is my AAU team and they’ve carried that to the highest level. And because of his power and his prowess, people, the young players are seduced by LeBron James in the same way people were seduced by Michael Jordan with David Falk. He went from having Michael Jordan and a few other players, to getting the top players in the NBA, because of the Jordan factor. Rob Pelinka had tremendous success as an independent agent because he had Kobe Bryant and the players idolized him. So, the fact that LeBron recruits and has empowered Rich Paul, and I get it, on the top guys, but if someone does their research, a lot of these guys have really gotten screwed, a large number of them, by mismanagement.

“There’s at least five or six massive casualties. Nobody is saying anything and you can even say that the union should take some responsibility because they represent all of the players, not just LeBron James. Because this is anonymous. I hope you have the courage to put this out there, because nobody is talking about this but this is the reality, and if you ask any other agent what I just said, they would all agree.

“They’ve been able to leverage KCP, two or three years in a row because they have the power and they’re forcing it down their throat. Nerlens Noel. There are four or five of them that have suffered millions of dollars from mismanagement but nobody has the courage to support it, because all the media wants access to LeBron. They want access to AD.

“What he’s done is he’s taking AAU basketball to the NBA, because he has the ability to do that because these young players idolize him. I’m starting to hear some rumblings that they might be overloaded. Because you can’t have this level of expectation for a client and service all of these guys. Ben Simmons. Garland. I know this as an agent, you can’t service them all at this level. You can seduce them, but you can’t service them all, at that level with what they say they’re doing. Nerlens Noel. Norris Cole. Shabazz Muhammed. They lost $80 million in Detroit. This is real talk.

“That’s the only disappointment is LeBron has leveraged his popularity with young players for seducing them for Klutch and it’s not serving all the players well. But for the players that are suffering, there’s no repercussions. Nobody is criticizing what they’re doing. And you have to call out the union. They should be meeting with Rich Paul, saying, ‘What happened here? What happened here? They represent all the players. They all pay the same amount for dues. If Rich Paul were a lawyer, he’d be disbarred five times. But because LeBron is so powerful, there is no accountability. And that’s the only bad part with LeBron. Everything else is great. It’s commendable. It’s progressive. I love it. The part that he’s pushed Rich Paul in this position and these naïve basketball players, that’s pretty egregiously irresponsible.”

Sounds like jealousy
