**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I wonder how you felt when Melo called NYC home when he grew up in Baltimore.

Like everyone else that was confused . But at least melo actually lived there. Kyrie probably couldn't even give you directions to Barclays

 

[DCAllAfrican]

You guys are claiming anything within an hr of you home?

In the CONTEXT of playing for a professional TEAM that close to where you grew up, yes.

If we are discussing, "An hour from home" in a different context, maybe not.

 

[SpittaJetLife]

Yea I don't get it. He's not from there. It's the same distance Milwaukee is from Chicago. This dude claiming 8 mile when he's from 7 mile. Zone 6 when he's from zone 4. It's actually worse than that because it's a whole different state. I'm not an east coast cat but claiming new York when you're from new Jersey seems like a no no. But definitely a Kyrie thing to do.

Keep your blessings

Milwaukee is 91 miles from Chicago. South Orange NJ is 21 miles from Brooklyn.

This actually isn’t even that bad. Not a playoff team but they won’t be terrible. That’s actually the type of underdog group the NYC fans usually get behind just like the Felton, Gallo, Chandler and Landry Fields Era of Knicks basketball.

That roster is terrible.

Bottom 5 team in basketball, easy.

I wonder how you felt when Melo called NYC home when he grew up in Baltimore.

That was just for storyline purposes because everyone knew Melo was nothing but a BMORE dude. It was funny.

****** just be talking

 

[SpittaJetLife]

If Kawhi says he’s home if he joins Clippers or Lakers would you guys say the same thing you’re saying about Kyrie? Kawhi isn’t from LA

 

[P C H]

IT MATTERS

Lou’s deal is insane and it’s a great look into the happiness vs money debate

Damn, you think so. I thought this was our year.

 

[SpittaJetLife]

Without traffic Kyrie could get to the Barclays in 25 min from south orange.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

the knicks were good in the 90's. he was born in 92 I think but he's old enough to understand youtube and watch old games which i'm sure he's done and he's old enough to have relatives that told him about the knicks in the 90's.
and he's from an area full of knicks fans.


na. that doesn't apply to nyc and jersey/the nets.
he knows what time it is and everyone knows how ridiculous him saying it feels good to be home and him playing for the nets is.

no disrespect to my jersey ****** tho.

It is about when he was a conscious basketball fan.

If he waa born in 92, what the Knicks did in the 90s probably wouldn't resonate with him considering he was such a young kid.

Lol Lakers did this for Kwame Brown inexplicably.

Blake Griffin doe...

 

[art vandelay]

You guys are claiming anything within an hr of you home?

If that’s the case, I’m from Austin.

 

[N41D]

Damn, you think so. I thought this was our year.

Soon, HTTB.

 

[trynafeelmink]

All i know a little as two weeks ago the media claimed Kawhi wouldn't even take a meeting with the Lakers finding sources about this Kawhi situation is tough

 

[casper90403]

Damn Seth Curry makes as much as Lou Williams. Wild

 

[addict4sneakers]

Lou’s deal is insane and it’s a great look into the happiness vs money debate

He seemed semi salty with his contract especially with his output in the Gilbert interview. I mean Terrance Ross just hit a lick

 

[SpittaJetLife]

IT MATTERS

Clippers should give him more money

 

[yobyellav]

Kawhi’s nondecision creating arguments about whether a guy from jersey playing for the nets can get away with saying he’s home. He’s home. Chill out.

Kawhi’s staying in Toronto for a couple more years.

 

[you go boy]

What kind of weirdo grows up wanting to play for the New Jersey Nets?

Hate aside...seriously wondering.

while i agree they are the lesser important franchise in the city but the nets have been more relevant the last 20 years... they were good during those kidd days back to back finals and making the playoffs every year he was there and made the playoffs a few years with deron and KG and pierce... they even made the playoffs last year with just D-lo... Knicks on the other have only 1 playoff series win the last 20 years smh...nobody is going to respect the Knicks until they at least make the playoffs and win a playoff series... so its all jokes from here on out unfortunately

 

[HIM]

IT MATTERS

Meanwhile the other team drafted Lonzo and sold him as the future of the franchise..traded him in year two

 

[Mike dunleavy]

Lou William's agent is a idiot.

Basically, the Knicks are some trash. Tou could habe simply said that

It was stupid when Melo said it, it’s stupid now.

Just another Brooklyn hipster transplant, if we’re keeping it funky. He’ll fit right in with all the other faux brooklynism going on down there.
