2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

[elpablo21]

Russian arms dealer/terrorist responsible for thousands or maybe hundreds of thousands of deaths worldwide….

For Brittney Griner’s dumb*** mistake.

This really is true, WOW.

Russia won.

Putin had all the leverage. It was only a matter of time

 

[pmatic]

Griner gonna have to eat those charges. Ain't no way I'm trading someone nicknamed the "Merchant of Death".

But the US the Walmart of Death tho

David Stern rolling in h…….

I’m not so sure about the leverage part.

We have the “merchant of death”

Biden or Richardson goofed.

 

[antidope]

@antiodope- u gotta be the most ignorant poster on here which says a lot

You have four posts since 2014 and I am flattered that one of those was used to address me.

 

[RustyShackleford]

This exchange is disproportionate as hell

This

At least now I can tell all my friends that complained to me about Biden not doing anything to get her out, to shut up.

Willing to let a terrorists go free to get her out.

But as always, it is up to Putin.

 

[DLF]

Lakers will toss in The Brick free of charge.

Shhh

If lakers are involved the Russians will I’ll want 1 billion dollars to go along with any trade. #lakertax

What pressure does Putin have to get back the Arms Dealer in comparison to what the Biden admin has with Griner?

This was always gonna be on Putin's terms

I think he was up for release in like 5 or 10 years anyways

I don't see how anyone goofed.

Putin has the leverage. He has the leverage because the Americans care more about their prisoners coming home as soon as possible.

I can't talk about music but everyone else can pretend to be Ian Bremmer.

Makes sense. Might as well install you guys at the head of the geopolitical decision table.

He's 100% a DJ or pianist

True, no public pressure.

I’m sure Putin yearned to get him back in wartime tho.

Who knows what that man is capable of.

Don't think they didn't know exactly what they were doing, too. Undoubtedly a calculated move.

And Biden absolutely was under more pressure than Putin to get something done.

We would've gotten Brittney out in 2 months

 

[WASHED KING]

Can we go back to when the thread was universally aligned with white artist music?

I was not aligned with that colonizer BS

 

[NickFolarin]

TBH Griner is going the have a tough time coming back to America.

The right is gonna make her the poster child of the left being weak and "negotiating with terrorists."

MOST Americans understand why the government wouldn't offer an HUGE arms dealer and acknowledge although the time didn't fit the crime, Griner was guilty.

Also, she can't take LeBron's advice and live overseas, because then she'll be viewed as un-American.

It sucks all around. Griner is a prisoner of war, she just was captured in the field.

If I'm Biden, I'm keeping it a buck and telling Griner she has to tough it out before I make that trade. Biden doing it simply because he's under pressure from some of his supporters who don't understand the essence of the situation. You make this move and going forward Russia and other Goverment that opposes the US is going to play hardball.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Maybe the Lakers can hire Putin next

 

[JD617]

There's a highly skilled professional who dresses as a janitor and surprises people.



This comment makes me laugh every time.

Just offer to throw some $ on her books

Dems are already on shaky ground when it comes to winning elections, optics would've been murder, something had to be done
