2021 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: Media Day...SHENANIGANS

Huh? I don't think that was Matt's take at all. It has nothing to do with the quality of CP3 as a player. It has to do with the head of the players association being one of the highest paid players in the league and how that might impact his ability to represent the average NBA player.

across industries, it's common for union presidents to make significantly more than rank and file members. in regards to CP3, him having a bigger payday compared to the 3rd string PG on the orlando magic is hardly a conflict of interest. as a player who was consistently eligible for max contracts, it makes sense for him to push for higher salary caps, which would get him and the "average" player paid more. since he's become union president, that salary cap has nearly doubled in 7-8 years. not saying that it's all been because of him but tell me another professional sports' franchise that has a stronger CBA and players' union?

 

[HOU$TON]

Thats like 13 NBA Points.

13 NBA points would be good for IT

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Great shot but I don't think Maclung has passed the ball the whole game.


Neither has Reaves.

 

[QU!K]

Lakers aggressively trying to replace Alex Caruso

 

[reconic supreme]

Reaves and McClung

 

[jayt1202]

Did IT not even get an SL invite? I mean if Beas can he should have as well.

 

[tay1]

Gelo played good

 

[shuges]

No reason why IT isnt playing for the Blazers summer league team.

Nah, according to the armchair GMs, he's done and should look for employment overseas.

 

[pums]

IT can skip the summer league and go to a training camp invite with the celtics tbh.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Working on a trade that lands Wiseman in NY. How soon can rookies get traded?

Spoiler

4 team transaction

Philly receives Dame & Dray
Golden State receives Ben & Randle
New York receives Wiseman & Moody.
Portland receives Kuminga, Maxey, Thybulle, Quickley, Robinson & 4 picks tbd

I think all teams win here.

 

[rbk93]

Would be a horrible trade if something like were to go down.

 

[B Sox]

Jaylen and Jalens

 

[had pants]

 

[Coupé It]

I was wondering where Kenneth on here just a few weeks ago. Good luck.

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Anyone gonna be in Vegas for SL?

You buying drinks?

 

[dacomeup]

Oden would probably go top 3 in most drafts now too.

He was 100Xs the prospect Wiseman was so definitely

 

[pmatic]

I think Oden's draft hype was only behind Bron since I've been following the NBA.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Seems like everyone has performed as expected.

 

[pums]

Jaygup really Nick Young 2.0

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Seems like everyone has performed as expected.

Namely, Scottie Barnes

 

[Moheezy]

No reason why IT isnt playing for the Blazers summer league team.

The reason is probably IT himself.

 

[Moheezy]

I'm a huge IT guy and want him to succeed...but that's the most casual defence I've seen in a mixtape video.

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Namely, Scottie Barnes

i hope it does work out, but unless he's gunna become like draymond the ceiling seems becomes kinda meh to me.

 

[Moheezy]

Jalen Green > Cade Cunningham

I'm rooting for Green as well. That summer league game was so much fun to watch.

 

[Moheezy]

I want Bol Bol to be great, but it’s just not going to happen.

Why not?
