Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[Master Zik]

It's more manufactured and on steroids now.

Thats just cuz the players are better.

Truth of the matter isn't so much players flocking to GS is simply none of these other teams or other organizations got it in them to defeat the Warriors.

Theres enough good-great players in the league to form like 3 other "super" teams. Instead of just complaining about a lack of competitive basketball demand more of the league so these organizations actually form competitive basketball teams.

The cap is higher, luxury tax aint hurting owners who are about that championship life as much. You got superstar players getting 40 mil a year now. 2nd options are getting what superstars use to get in 20 mill. There's no excuses.

Can't be mad at individual players choosing where they want to play.

Boston in theory can take GS to 7

Sixers gonna need more help to win one game

Ben-Kawhi-Embiid-Fultz defensively can play with em but buckets gonna be hard to come by lol

Generational talent has existed since the beginning of this game. You can’t over look a player that’s better than everyone else. The question is do you use your talents to avoid a challenge or embrace one?

So the only way a player embraces a challenge is to stay in a situation regardless of whether or not there is a light at the end of the tunnel?

Got you. If they leave they are avoiding it? Cool. Makes sense

That is SUCH a limited view on things but ok

The fact that Warriors made Laker fans fall off their high horse 24 hours after signing LeBron is hilarious

 

[fac3 tak30v312]

The Warriors don't even play a style of Basketball that Cousins will flourish in.. How is he even showcasing his skills... Who's gonna max him out next season seeing him do what Javale and Bell did last season..

What GMs gonna be like "Oh he can still grab a couple of rebounds... let's give him the max"

And which theory do you subscribe to?

 

[Master Zik]

Lol Klay though? Have you seen his postgame finals interviews? and how he says he will want to take paycuts. Dude is enjoying himself so much.

These dudes not paying attention

Living in a dream world filled with delusional hopes.

Klay will probably be the last guy to dip if he leaves at all Son gives no dambs or ****s.

Making a good decisions doesnt equate to lack of passion. It's making a good decision. I'm sorry but I'm not spending 10 years on a team with the hopes that management can find players. Thats stupid and a waste of a career. Honestly it just sounds like ya'll more upset at the warriors than the actual move.

What makes winning a ring a good decision? Validation, correct? So why wouldn’t how you got the ring be considered. Spending 10 years to win a championship used to be part of what made it special (see Hakeem). The validation comes from people seeing you struggle. When has wanting the reward but not the hard word not been frowned upon?

And for the record, I love the Warriors pick up.

Reddick still there?

Man, Bron coudve had 4-6 rings if this whole Warriors deal didnt happen.

Makes you think if the Dubs didnt blow a 3-1 lead. Maybe KD never joined, the Cavs may have won last year and this year. Woudve had Bron at 5. ‍

it doesnt make me think that at all actually. if warriors dont let up on the 3-1, makes me think bron finishes his career with 2 asterisk rings.

Randle wanted more than one year... they have plans on bringing in a FA next year with that cap. Why would they keep Randle.

 

[BIG FISH]

Looking REAL dumb right now.

Yea I assumed they were getting Boogie
Could’ve been another asset used to get Kawhi or in a Deng dump...
Oh well
