2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

[darthska]

Definitely haven't gotten as much "Big 3" or "super team" or "unfair" talk as Brooklyn did when they got Harden.

Because ALA is unsure if it will be successful.

If Lebby/Eyebrow/Russy leads to success, then we're a super team and Lebron is just the worst.

If it's not successful, then it's a fail and LeGM orchestrated a failed signing and ALA laughs.

Ya'll gas dudes when they leave the Lakers and switch on dudes when they become Lakers.

Nah, Kang still Kang. AD still AD. Brodie still Brodie.

Lonzo still the future. KCP still got potential. BI still nice.

Fans of players >>> fans of teams

In this thread or in general? I see a lot of people clown Russ for his playoff failures and stat padding but I don't think NT'ers legit hate the man. They do not know him.

It seems you think no one on NT actually hates the athletes they slander. True?

That should be about enough to sign the Slovenian national team. Get it done Nike gm

Hate is subjective then. Obviously Philly fans don't want Simmons on the Sixers, but I don't think they "hate" the guy like they wish him ill. I could be wrong though. It is Philadelphia.

I'll definitely take Russ over cp3 7 days a week and twice on Sundays. If they signed cp3 I woulda probay had to marinate myself in bbq sauce, set the oven to 350° and just hop in and lock the door behind me

Love your optimistic view but society doesn't work that way.

Everyone on here is "hated" by a person in the real world for wasting time talking sports on an internet forum.

We're looked at as "dumb". And maybe we are.

**** is all subjective.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Jazz have no choice but to overpay for Conley they can’t replace him with anyone else. If they have to salary dump ingles idk how the jazz are going to improve

[akajae]

Yea no way I could’ve rooted for CP3.

That’s like if Paul Pierce became a laker. Or Jason Terry. Man Jason terry used to piss me off lmao

@ d. Miles: "Q coming to work makes me want to quit."

ya’ll need to stop killing players for choosing the money of all things

 

[wavycrocket]

This super team talk is stupid . For the past decade…LeBron has tried to orchestrate the most stacked teams in the league. Wether it works or not, is a matter of chemistry, coaching, play style and fit.

The point of a franchise and team is to try to get the best talent and win games. And surround your best talent with pieces that complement that. That is not a bad thing. That is what teams should be doing.

But the conversation of does this qualify as a super team etc etc is just low brow and dumb. LeBron James needs to play with a lot of talent to win. As do most nba players in history.

How he goes about it, the talk around it and the perception of it is different tho.

The Lakers have a talented “big 3”. I’m personally rooting for it to fail, and the fit is hella shaky. But it’s another talented core that LeBron plays with.

Closest I came was PedoMalone.

Philly fans and NY fans are THE WORST. And that's coming from someone who's from NY and reps NY.

Those fanbases will legit turn on their own players and start to boo them.

I can't stand Laker fans either but it takes a lot for them to start booing their own team. Tbh, I can't off the top of my head remember the last Laker that got booed heavily.

Oh, and rooting for injury is WACK.

 

[casper90403]

Yeah, being a winner and a champion opens up many doors beyond your career earnings.

thats so limited though. Again, maybe the top 5 guys in the league will make a significant career after basketball and the rest who still work after basketball do it because they are still young and dont want to sit around.
