Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

Lol Kobe ws making half that

If i'm LeBron, I have to consider going to a team which can afford me the situation to not have to defend the other players best offensive player (ie. KD). LeBron is 33 going on 34. He's had arguably the greatest year of his professional career, but we've seen this movie before across professional sports. Usually stellar athletes will outperform throughout the course of the year and play at a level we've never seen before. But it almost always follows the next season or season after with the player "hitting a wall". The human body isn't capable to perform at the levels these guys play under.

LeBron needs to forget about Harden and figure out a way to bring in PG-13 and another versatile big that can block off the paint and run around out in the perimeter. Lonzo isn't polished offensively, but he's an above average facilitator and does a lot of small things which has a huge impact on the floor.

zo is already a good defender

I think the Rockets have a real shot. I'm sure Lebron would love to go there, just dont know if Cleveland would want to take any of those awful contracts back in a S&T

They wouldn’t. Dan Gilbert already said he ain’t paying the luxury tax if LeBron leaves. Love would go to the highest bidder probably. Korver and JR would probably get offered buyouts to go join contenders. They’d blow it all the way up IMO.

George hill last year is only guranteed 1 mill so they can off him too

Kobe also brought the city 5 rings
Everyone knew it was a career contract

Cp3 might bring them Lebron, so guess $200mil as a thank you makes a lil sense

The Kobe deal 1. put butts in seats because he's a legend 2. allowed us to shadow tank because we were gonna suck anyway w/ or w/o Kobe on the roster.

At least we can say we paid Kobe for past performance, what justification does Houston have for giving CP3 a $200m contract?

 

[addict4sneakers]

Lebron got money to make that man disappear. He’s gotta relax

 

[Cashflow]

If LeBeyonce really had a taste of Queen Bee, I think we could officially put him as #2 all time

 

[maxelite]

Whatever that man has to say is never going to see the light of day lol

Are we taking in account the cap spike? The money difference is huge but both old dudes are taking up a quarter of the cap.

Houston would be paying to contend. Lakers were paying to pretend about the olden days

Jordan Bell killing that HENN DOG!!

Absolutely zero excuse for someone called “Da real lambo” to be anywhere near the biggest athlete on the planet. It only gives his nonsense validity.

The best non Spurs parade for me was the Cleveland chip.

Him at 37 is over 45% of the cap barring another spike. Kobe was at 35% in his last season.

Delonte ain’t do it

So Draymond would qualify for the super max next summer if he gets either DPOTY or All NBA next season...

The cap when Kobe got 24.5M was 70M. The cap in 2021 is projected to be 110M-120M.

@ the ***** waiting until now to drop this knowing Lebron was going to be the #1 story this summer

4% difference if it’s on the high end

 

[captaintuxable]

I'd hate to be Houston right now. Ain't no way I'd give Chris Paul max money. Might as well donate that money to the Children's Hospital.
