Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[juanvaldez]

poor grayson first he had it sooo rough being a white kid at duke, now people want to unfairly point out all times he acted like a childish scumbag

cut the kid a break

plus he's 6'5 with 5% body fat so he's obviously bruce lee and would kick everyones ***

aannnd this is why social media and the internet suck balls

Celtics are going to regret it if they don't trade kyrie. Don't see him signing there next year.

The caping for Grayson Allen is borderline weird at this point

Who would trade for him knowing it could be a <1 year rental and what assets would they part with? It's the same situation as Kawhi, except the Celtics and Kyrie actually seem to be on good terms.

Yeah god forbid someone counter the lazy social media duke-hating narrative.

Lemme guess -- big Tony Bradley/ Justin Jackson fan?

 

[antidope]

YIKES. I guess this year's irrational fan will be from the Utah Jazz. Or is this solely a Grayson Allen thing.

Duke...

Brendan Haywood and Kevin Ollie just told me at the Vegas airport that the Sixers are going to get Kawhi...so **** Niketalk’s thoughts

Man, get outta here

I’m still catching up and saw this on the following page

I got on the monorail at the airport to go to baggage claim and Kevin Ollie and some Wolves assistant coach walk on and grab the same pole as me...so naturally I’m just like “Kevin Ollie?” and that’s how that conversation started

I had seen Brendan Haywood in first class on my flight from Charlotte so I knew he was there but then this man comes up and stands right beside me while I’m waiting for my bag...so same ****, I just looked up and said “Brendan Haywood?”

Is “<Insert athlete/celebrity name>?” your go-to groupie pickup line? Why the hell would a ***** who you barely able to recognize give you the real scoop? They wanted you to run with the information because it was wrong. They played you buc.

The entire premise of believing ******* Kevin Ollie and Brendan Haywood as NBA insiders is laughable.

This is definitely grayson allens burner account or burner human

 

[wavycrocket]

Grayson works his friggin' butt off, and is pretty much the nicest kid you'll ever meet. He's a fearsome competitor, and I'd want him on my team every day of the week.

Ahhh...I see. Grayson kin to you huh?

No, because Allen's social media/ ESPN fate was decided before he ever enrolled at Duke. Last night, there were sportswriters who literally expressed on twitter their thanks for the clicks they were gonna get due to this absurd, inconsequential foul. Thank god there was no twitter when I was an undergrad w/ Laettner. He'd be banned from the country.

True. But it just seems to me like there is always a team thats willing to take the risk and trade for a 1 year rental.

We don’t have a problem with Luke Kennard doe

I think teams are less scared to trade for 1 yr rentals after PG

Actually, when he was an undergrad for 2 yrs, 'you' did. (mind you, all of Grayson's alleged transgressions were after his sophomore year)

There were literally webpages devoted to him fumbling with his hair.

 

[bballkid11]

Kyrie is one of the hardest dudes to read......He looks happy in Boston, but I think after season he will be on the first thing smoking.

We get it doggie you went to duke. Everybody hates duke

That school has little to nothing to do with why people dont like dude, he's a piece of **** who people like you continue to make excuses for, which I like I assume many others feel is primarily because of his skin color.

He's white privilege personified

Oh so that's what it is....you're just a Duke superfan. That explains it. You're incapable of having a reasonable discussion. Any dissenting opinion makes you take your shirt off and up your WPM.

A burner account with 5 followers probably made by a UNC fan. Who cares.


I’m glad I never fell in love with college athletes. Poor

Grayson Allen is the 'Per 36-god' like D'angelo Russell.

 

[casper90403]

you fans need to be reasonable man.

I'm a Duke fan (2nd favorite college basketball team behind my school) but come on, Grayson is Grayson. Sticking up for his boneheadedness is beyond bizarre. Last night was overblown. But he's had plenty of questionable stuff occur, even after being warned about calming down.

Kid plays hard but loses his **** on the court way too much. Harness that ****. Thats all.
