Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[addict4sneakers]

All you whining dudes need to go find a bad team to watch develop. Way less stress if you’re banking on a team to beat the warriors.

There’s a whole lot of talent in the league to appreciate.

Still amazed at how bad this song is.

They're just mad it's gonna be tough for Lebron to ever win another championship. I love the signing. Why wouldn't they take Boogie? Blame the other teams for not being able to recruit him.

Fans have this unrealistic idea of players should WANT TO, "Take the hardest road" to win a ring.

Why should they do that? Fans/Media tell players, "Your career is incomplete unless you win a ring." Why should they want to struggle for their entire careers HOPING to earn a ring?

Nah, go to a good team and win.

People don't know WHAT they want.

This. If you hate the Warriors so much, DON'T WATCH THEM.

There are 1200 games per NBA season. You can avoid them if you WANT.

"DMC signed for $5 mil?! Why didnt teams offer more than that?! How can he pass up that money"

 

[trynafeelmink]

Lakers signed Bron....then let Randle go....and Spent over $26 Million on these guys:

Boogie:.....

Your Squad facing the luxury tax and scratching & clawing at the 8th seed, what you so cheery about beloved

"DMC signed for $5 mil?! Why didnt teams offer more than that?! How can he pass up that money"

Lakers apparently did offer at minimum twice as much

There’s always an appreciation for hardwork, why are you trying to front DC? We as people love ground up stories, not something being handed to you

People want to root for David to beat Goliath. But do not want to be David facing Goliath. That's just how the world works.

 

[MVP]

Lakers trade the kids for AD
Sign Kawhi next summer
**** GS up in 2020

 

[airmax1fanatic]

[rolaholic]

[Master Zik]

This is correct.

I am very appreciative of Bob Myers working so diligently.





PS. You like ground up stories, but hate the Warriors? How long have you been watching hoop?

 

[cpf262]

Big facts.

You tryna combine teams bro?

CP3/Brogdon
Harden/Gordon
Middleton/Donte
Giannis/PJ
Clint/Henson

That's tough

Hell yeah. We gotta bring thon tho...... to throw knees when needed. Also we got the new arena so bring ur jacket

 

[flyeed]

Happy I transitioned away from the nba to soccer at the right time. Came to my senses and gave up on the Knicks. And at the same time there’s been a decline in the quality of b-ball with teams just jacking from the perimeter. And then of course the predictability of the finals.

 

[sooperhooper]

I understand people enjoy being emotional, but logically, why shouldn't a player go to a team with the highest chance of winning the most possible games?

Because of this fictional honor/nobility nonsense that yall don't follow in your everyday lives?

Until you dudes start doing household tasks the most difficult (least convenient) ways possible, don't say what NBA players SHOULD do when it comes to "taking the easy way out."

Bruh, our every day life does not include A COMPETITIVE SPORT. Washing dishes is not a competitive sport. Being an engineer isn't a competitive sport.

People want to see good basketball, not stacked teams running trains on the league.

If i were a true gsw fan, i wouldn't even be proud of those rings. If stars are ok getting stacked team rings, so be it.

 

[BIG FISH]

If what Bron did was a *** move then how is this and KDs not one?
Or was it only a *** move because LeBron did it?

 

[Nike Jordan]

I wonder which "big man" free agent said that...

Spoiler

 

[PRIME]

Yea. Along with CP as President and VP of the Player's Association they fought for the salary cap ti immediately jump which opened up the money available for those 2 other grown *** men to a make the decision they made

I guess we might as well blame James Naismith for inventing basketball while we’re at it.

I mean, none of those events would have transpired had he not invented the game in the first place

 

[trynafeelmink]

Players didn't team up to beat Jordan, they paid for it.

Players today teamed up to beat LeBron, they learnt from the past mistakes.

When there is a single force, it takes an army.

ehhh Lebron tried to create the Avengers & got spanked by Dirk & Role players ain't nobody team up to beat him

The Narrative doesn't discuss hard work. Hard work isn't recognized if you don't win a ring.

My issue has ALWAYS been, "Rings are end all / be all." That is all anyone wants to talk about. That is all people bring up in conversations when debating INDIVIDUAL players in a TEAM sport.

Most people won't win a ring, that is just a fact. So if you (player) want to get one, do whatever it takes. You will be judged for it either way.

Again, ALL of this is media/fans driven. If yall were able to have intelligent discussions on players without resorting to, "RIng Ring Ring" folks wouldn't be doing all of this

Stacked teams been running trains on the NBA from the jump.
