Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

All this GOAT talk just reminds me that the lakers have the GOAT lineup of players who have played for them:

PG - Magic
SG - Kobe
SF - Lebron
PF - Malone
C - Kareem

Bench of shaq, wilt, west, nash, pau, baylor, worthy

 

[Rj4147]

they need to make a team on 2k with that lineup lol. filthy. I hope the lakers trade for kawhi soon cause honestly you never know about next year. Could end up being a paul george situation

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Hoop dreams is goat but it’s also a doc

Blue chips and he got game are my personal faves

 

[buc em]

We Know what this means

Spoiler

Zero dambs given about the roster or coach he was going to

 

[Based Jesus]

Stephen A making sense for once

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Nobody was sending subs, dude is just sensitive. Even if it's true, as the so called "leader" of a team, you don't go on ESPN and start pointing fingers while they're WINNING. If he felt someone was sneak dissing, it should've been handled in the locker room.

he never once "sent shots" at the team. Gortat was the only one he spoke ill about. which they both did to each other all year

Jordan Schultz isn't reputable

 

[Mark Antony]

My only question in this whole Boogie thing is what really happened to the 40 mill deal. Seems like they were ready to pay him a ton to rehab for half a season.

Cousins and his agent is just tryna create a narrative at this point

Jordan Schultz isn't reputable

But he posted a tweet so we should probably take it seriously

Think once he turned it down after the injury they took it off the table. Either cockiness or pure stupidity.

It's actually kinda sad. He's trying to create some "nobody wanted me" narrative that's obviously false. He's doesn't want to look stupid for walking away from money or look like he's ring chasing.

He should just own it. Just say "I had other offers but I chose to join the Warriors. Period." It's his career, and he's free to do as he wants he just looks foolish trying to make up stories about why he signed with the Warriors.

 

[Cashflow]

Y’all want to make Boogie look like an idiot so bad. If there’s no offer on July 1st when you can begin signing guys, there is no offer

Having conversations during the season means nothing because you can’t sign guys during the season. Contracts can be offered on July 1st and then officially signed on July 6th. Go read up on the CBA.

 

[VARNELL HILL]

it's gonna be funny when he returns and we see he isn't boogie anymore and all this crying was for NOTHING.

NT gotta get negs before the szn starts

 

[lovehateself]

I’m good with :
Celtics/sixers
Thunder/Lakers
Houston /warriors

Fits all time zones where you have one of the Thunder or Houston be the home team

You could even throw in Toronto/Indy
In there too

 

[Based Jesus]

He should just own it. Just say "I had other offers but I chose to join the Warriors. Period."

Except that's not what happened at all. Offers is plural, implying he had multiple.
He didn't, he got one from the Pels during the season and declined.
During the offseason he got 0. He didn't even get one from the dubs.
He offered himself to them, not the other way around.

We Know what this means

Spoiler

Didn’t speak to the coach or the players. Looks like he decided a loooong time ago that he was picking the Lakers as long as they had enough cap room for him + others

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Might be a repost

 

[noblekane]

Cousins and his agent is just tryna create a narrative at this point

for his upcoming showtime docu series The Resurgence

This is disingenuous. You're skipping the whole he turned it down piece, before, after, whenever. Signing after July 1st isn't a difficult concept, stop harping on that, and no prior conversation is not negated.

I feel like there's gotta be more to it though.
