Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[trynafeelmink]

This doesn't even hurt much because i knew LA wasn't beating the Warriors this year anyway, but this the Basketball equivalent Of Big Meech bringing Tigers to the club.

Ya'll all had a hand in this BTW, Ya'll called Boogie a losing, selfish, negative, detriment to any team he's on... Keep that same energy

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Within the first 25 games he'll be back IMO and if he's anywhere near what he was before, lights out NBA

This is sort of the like the Offensive version of Rodman to the Bulls

They're the ONE team that can put up with his **** w/o it potentially handicapping the team...and the best part is... they didn't even need him

 

[bostoiah]

if he's really going to be healthy so early in the season this makes the pay cut he took even more bizarre. if the reports are true and he really is going to be healthy within the first half of the season, he could have gotten an near max deal.

If he could have gotten a near max deal, you don’t think he would’ve signed a near max deal?

 

[flyerthandelta]

Who was giving Cousins a multi year deal with decent money?

He didn't take a pay cut, he took the best offer on the table.

Huh how?!? 5.3 mill?!??!

 

[22stylez]

Accurate.

 

[bostoiah]

Nah.

Celtics match up well with GSW. 7-game series

 

[22stylez]

Huh how?!? 5.3 mill?!??!

Dude clearly wanted to play for a WINNER. So it was between the dubs and Celtics.

LeBron bout to take all them young boys and rejects to the WCF regardless...

Actually they’ll be fighting for 9th with Portland. Again, as they are currently, they’re Cavs West, but will be continuously on the grind vs GSW, Houston, Utah, and OKC instead of taking two week mini breaks while playing the Nets, Raptors, Magic, and Wizards

 

[Master Zik]

I wouldn't be surprised if gsw signed kawhi.

Klay: "The NBA needs to get better"

I don't completely disagree with that though. We highlight Dwight Howard's lack of growth but I'm sure there's a LOT more guys in the league just like that who go under the radar.

 

[B Sox]

B Sox has been extra feisty since LeBron came to LA. Hilarious seeing him upset

Can't be upset about going to the Finals

 

[atlsfinest]

If he could have gotten a near max deal, you don’t think he would’ve signed a near max deal?

Apparently not. He didn't maximize his money with this signing, he's just pissing money away. He could've stayed least gotten $20m from some team.

Not to say I think he's lying, but I don't think we've ever seen a player come back from an Achilles injury in less than a year.

 

[SC kid]

Got damb I'm tired of curry doing that f******* shimmy

 

[DCAllAfrican]

And all the teams being petty not wanting to sell the Dubs a 2nd Round draft pick this year helped them save money which likely went towards this deal

How can an organization continue to be so lucky?

Not luck

Spoiler: Not Luck; But.........

Don't want him to dance, stop him from scoring

You might be right about LeBron going to LA as a retirement of sorts.

 

[ilike turtles]

Why didnt PG go to LA again? Aint nothin gonna happen in OKC smh

 

[PRIME]

We really going to blame lebron for 2 other grown *** men decision making?

 

[Bert.]

Still funny the league cried because the lakers and Kobe got Cp3 and rescinded the trade

Yet all this ******** that goes on now is 100x worse

 

[SC kid]

They told me in general how toxic this thread was.

Buncha evil up in here

 

[pmatic]

Let us pray Durant goes to New York and Boogie goes to Dallas next summer.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Spurs dun goofed. No one is giving up anything for Kawhi now. Why would Philly or Boston give up assets to acquire Leonard for a 1 year rental when they're not winning a championship anyway?

The Lakers aren't giving up anything good, and neither are Boston or Philly. if the Spurs don't stop being petty, Kawhi is going to end up walking away for nothing next offseason.

I’m convinced you don’t think your posts through before posting.

The East is basically a 2-team show. You don’t need to win to convince someone to come back. Boogie signed a 1-year deal. Meaning, he bet on himself to ball out and do it on an easy team. He’s out after this year. A lot can change to the West depending where boogie goes after GS. This is strictly most likely a 1-year rental.

Although, if the Sixers or Celtics get Kawhi and makes it to the Finals, they can say they’re super close. That enough for most people to stay. And Kawhi gets his money in the process.

You’re just letting your personal feeling cloud your judgement.
