**OFFICIAL 2019 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD**

[BIG LEEMELONE]

And BIG LEEMELONE you really not gonna bet me anymore on Boston vs Toronto? Talk about pump faking

You said pencil it in I didn't know what that meant

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I haven't demanded a thing just expressing my disappointment in some of the best athletes. If anything your the one demanding me to "stop being a fan" and blindly accept whatever bs excuse they give us. These nba guys really are heroes to some of u huh?

When you say stuff like
"Divas"
"Lazy"
"They won't do anything but sit on sm"

You are in FACT demanding that they participate. If you shame someone for NOT doing something you are demanding they do it.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

If our best are load managing during the NBA season, you can't act outraged a Summer time tournament would be passed over

Especially these players who have already given their service to a World Cup tournament or an Olympic medal. If they wanted to participate again then by all means, but if they got what they could out of it and brought back gold, there's nothing left for them to prove nor gain

 

[everysingletime]

I can respect a decision that is based on something real and honest. Injury or prior commitment sure who can question that. But wanting to focus on the season that doesnt start for another two months and citing irrelavnt acquisitions as a reason. Nah I know bs when I hear it.

Yea it is BS reasons but they can't exactly say 'I'm not going cuz I don't want to'

Nice flip.

I just know they are human beings .

Whatever reason they have for not wanting to play is fine with me.

I am not their coach.
I am not their GM.
I don't work in the IOC offices.

YOU are the one that has an issue with their reasoning.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

That's b.s. I even said without any stipulations you tryin say I pump faked makes the **** look even more funny in the light I was literally the first person to respond to your post

I wish someone would just come out and say it so we could stop all of the dancing .

 

[VARNELL HILL]

Aren’t most of these countries rebuilding anyway? All those guys who gave us fits from Spain & Argentina are old as hell now

Gonna take a while for them to re-load. Our C team going out there is probably best from a competitive standpoint as a neutral fan

Great reps for guys like Tobias & Kuz

Its amazing what those down years did to the psyche of people who believe Team USA is somehow in danger if they don’t send the absolute best 12 American players in the NBA to every international event.

Furthermore, most of them don’t even follow International basketball enough to even know what the competition looks like.

It's odd because these fans feel like Americans have something to actually prove to the world and non Americans

 

[freeze]

Trigga to the Lakers confirmed.

 

[DCAllAfrican]

I think in general the feeling is nba players feel like they're too good for fiba and the Olympics

If team USA wins fiba with their C team they'd be right.

Why shouldn't/wouldn't the best of the best feel that way?

Well what does pencil it in mean? Pause

 

[Platinum State]

Upscale? Why not rent in da hood and save $$$

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Well what does pencil it in mean? Pause

Means write it down

Right. It’s like they don’t understand that the “C” team still consists of standouts in the most elite basketball league in the world.

I really blame Larry Brown for this

 

[lawdog1]

You right. When you're a millionaire, never rent.

Even if you change your mind about the house, you can always put it back on the market to make your money back.

Can’t remember who it was, but I heard a former NBA player tell a story about how Prince rented a house the player owned in LA. When Mr. Rogers Nelson moved in, he Princed the place out by making everything purple, etc. But he also made sure the house was back to normal when he left. Prince paid the player like $5 million in rent for a relatively short period of time.

Now that’s the kind of benefit you get from property ownership

 

[frshstunna]

The Blazers not making the playoffs convo is funny cuz it was the same exact thing ppl were saying before last season and they ended up in the WCF

Dame and CJ good enough and always healthy to make Portland a damn near lock for the playoffs

 

[Quincy McCall]

Whiteside with CJ/Dame should be nice. He's not a top 30 player, and annoying to watch most of the time, but he's productive. Much better fit in Portl. anyhow

 

[clyde the glide]

Lol so u do agree. Yeah they can feed us whatever reason they want I'd just prefer an honest one

 

[frshstunna]

It was Boozer...said he was heated at 1st when he found out bout the changes made to his spot, but ain’t sweat it too much cuz of the bread he was getting and the fact that it was Prince staying there

I honestly did not know that millionaires renting mansions was a thing before today. Lol

Millionaire status just how much money they bringing in...no telling what kinda spending they doing so renting all types of stuff is common

And you can’t just go around buying everything even if you got it like that , sometimes u just need whatever for a short period of time
