Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[N41D]

Son said Beal for Hart, Wagner and a pick. These NBA Live 2006 trades are wild.

When you hold all the leverage, this is how it works.

We are the Lakers. The Lakers are we.

 

[vidiviciun]

Ummmmm, pretty sure Cousins isn’t an “enforcer”

DUBS IN 4! ​

 

[getback]

The lakers have to respond and go all-in now.

Kuzma, Ball, BI, and a first for kawhi

That still doesn't overcome the Warriors though. Why not just wait a year and sign Kawhi and probably another marquis FA while preserving that young core?

 

[N41D]

Im sure 5'6 135 lbs Tom cruise is built ford tough

Tom Cruise is dangling from planes and skyscrapers and ****, though.

May be short. But can't say that dude ain't got balls.

 

[vidiviciun]

I love hearing Nick Wright ole ***** *** whine. That guy is the worst.. Straight up LeBron **** and dweeb.

DUBS IN 4! ​

Sure, then what about when the league was complete during the Bulls and Lakers runs?

Your favorite player still played for your favorite team and there was a we'll get em next year, not we'll join em next year attitude.

Guys joining superstars already in progress is bad for me as a fan. Nothing illegal in the signings but it sucks for me as a fan. I don't care about these players like that. I want to be entertain3d and think it so sucks. It's all goid though I'll still watch basketball and hope some miracle happens and GS doesn't win again. What else can I do

 

[MVP]

But there is no guarantee the Warriors will win though.


Okay, how about the Bulls and Lakers run?

If you're referring to the 80s
Lakers won 5
Celtics won 3
Sixers won 1
Pistons won 1

But there was legit competition to each other. There were multiple super teams going against each other. Every one of those teams had 3 guys (sans Detroit) GS has 4 and now 5, while the most any other team has is 2.

 

[getback]

LA got all those scientology weirdos. Pass.

We been off MAGAxNFL. And what sane person watches baseball outside of the playoffs?

Trump has no impact on the field and most don't get wrapped up in **** like that. Even though the play in the NFL has been waning for the traditionalists, it still has competitive balance and why it's still on top.

I'm not hear to **** on sports like most love to do to prop up their favorite sport. It's no secret that a lot of people like to **** on baseball and if you don't like it, thats fine, but not the point. There is competitive balance in baseball.

And it has nothing to do with the Timberwolves. Them being out of the playoffs didn't stop me from enjoying the playoffs a few years ago.

Ive loved all 3 since the start and championed for the NBA not too long ago when uninformed folks thought it's quality was down. It went overboard though and it's lost me.

 

[junglejim]

How did people enjoy the league when the Celtics and Lakers won 33 of the NBA titles?

What did fans feel when Celtics won the championship from 59-69?

Having a dominant team in the league has been common. I'm shocked at the people who have lost their mind at the Warriors 4-yr run.

Its a little different when there are 8 teams and two are winning vs 30, but agreed there has always been super teams.

Has there ever been a team with 5 all-stars in their prime though?

 

[IATT]

Tom Cruise is dangling from planes and skyscrapers and ****, though.

May be short. But can't say that dude ain't got balls.

He probably wasn't the best example.. cause he looks like an 8th grader who could actually play soccer or WR/DB on the football team

Always a bit surprised when I see actors and how short the dudes are and frail

I don't buy that there isn't legit competition in the league today.

HIM just wants to see us burn. This year was going to be a wash anyway.

Barring a PG-esque betrayal we could have

Zo
BI
Kawhi
Bron


Hart
Svi
Kuz
Mo

+approximately 15 mil in additional space to add to the team next summer.

That's much better depth and youth that doesn't compromise the post Lebron era. It's the ideal scenario.

 

[lamekilla]

Yea, it isn't hard to put together if YOU already have a story written about what goes through his mind.

Point blank, you are speaking as if you are him

What makes you think I’m not Paul George

Happy G-Day fam welcome to the club.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Good question.

You might be him

The 2014-15 Atlanta Hawks

 

[BIG FISH]

Same people championing Bron going to the finals 8 straight times in a weak east with the clearly best roster....

Cry about golden state dominating . They just hate that the WARRIORS are dominating. Let it be one of the historical teams or led by an heir apparent player in a prototypical great mold....they’ll be championing that dominance.

I’m 1000% sure you were crying about the decision in 2010.
This **** works both ways

 

[grnd7]

On the DMC front so all the reports about the Pels and Lakers early on in free agency calling him (if you believe he never got any offers) were Boogie calling those teams and them hanging up or not even answering.

Because that injury is the worst injury a player can suffer. If NBA execs pass there is a reason.
GS can commit because they don't need him.

 

[junglejim]

The 2014-15 Atlanta Hawks

Thought they had four? I could be wrong

 

[blakep267]

Sure, then what about when the league was complete during the Bulls and Lakers runs?

It’s not quite the same. Karl Malone and Gary Payton didn’t go and join Michael in Chicago. Shaq and Kobe were shaq and Kobe. They didn’t have AI leaving Philly to join them.

A team could still be competitive with a klay Steph draymond roster. Adding KD makes that near impossible and boogie makes it worse

 

[jsindaa]

Happy G-Day fam welcome to the club.

Thank you my g

 

[HIM]

HIM just wants to see us burn.

I need all the young teams to make panic moved, and all the established teams to age and/or break up by 2020-2021.

Will be a great Championship year for AD and the Clippers

 

[B Sox]

Thought they had four? I could be wrong

You're right.
