GOes back to a convo we had before about us demanding all players to participate in these movements.

Udonis makes a good point.


Udonis Haslem Called Out LeBron James During Heated Meeting - Game 7 https://itsgame7.com/udonis-haslem-called-out-lebron-james-during-heated-meeting/


Later in the meeting, Haslem turned his sights on Bucks guard George Hill.

“Haslem — in a clear message to George — stated that it was irresponsible and selfish for an established veteran to suggest that everyone should go home because younger players haven’t accumulated the wealth for such a drastic action,” Haynes reported.

As many things in life, this is a complex situation. Gotta think with our hearts and brains. I thought it was wild that essentially everybody in this thread couldn't see why some NBA players didn't have a good reason to be upset at the Bucks for making an executive decision without talking to other teams first (if you don't think it was an executive decision, you are kidding yourself)

klutch media got everyone in the spin cycle

 

[DCAllAfrican]

yup.. there are so many levels to this stuff

money was already getting messed up because of the China mess.. then had this whole mess.. so they’re just trying salvage the money from local tv deals and save what they could by not cancel the season

but it’s professional sports, you got the dudes on the bottom end just trying get what they can out of it with the limited time they got

but even on the high end of things, everything that has happened is going have a huge impact.. cap is going go down and even the top guys going feel it

least with nfl guys they got huge new tv deals and should be streaming deals coming

Yea asking fringe players that have fought just to be FRINGE players to put their careers on the line just isn't fair/right, IMO.

Smh

 

[abubakr shaheed]

has a schedule come out yet?

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Man them broads dirty. Just high level hoodrats.

@ the jerseys

This it truly sounded like something Bev would’ve done

 

[wavycrocket]

What’s going on now...which should’ve been a moment of solidarity and movement...is turning nasty. I hate it.

 

[WASHED KING]

I mean lets be real here...once the Bucks decided to sit. Everyone had to sit. I think the biggest problem other players had with the decision was that it wasn't communicated beforehand since they are supposed to be acting as a unified front.

 

[dman14]

what if bev was the one that leaked it to haynes?

 

[DCAllAfrican]

We need somebody BLACK in that Shams/Woj spot.

Haynes I guess.

chris haynes

err
Nevermind

That’s def Haynes

Chris Haynes?

Yall told me he was the One.

 

[Upptempo]

NBA media turning into TMZ. Every ten minutes someone is "reporting" something that may or may not be true.

 

[IATT]

Yea asking fringe players that have fought just to be FRINGE players to put their careers on the line just isn't fair/right, IMO.

I mean there are some very clear examples of some team owners‘ whose money is gettin f’d right now.. and like I said even the top guys going see a major hit

so imagine the fringe guys

Nah. That’s the opposite of being real.

Can’t keep anything a secret dating wise with a Kardashian/Jenner.

The NBA guys getting hella publicity too

It’s garbage publicity though. It has no long term value or sustainability. They are playing the short game if that’s their goal.

 

[dman14]

 

[reformeDWS]

not a fan of the jenners or kardashians, but the way y'all discuss kendall jenner is weird.

 

[addict4sneakers]

Even if Pat bev did say some wild stuff like that, it shouldn’t leak to the media.

 

[pums]

They getting their followers up.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I'm not about to overreact to these "reports". People just talking.

 

[amitt5504]

This is......interesting

 

[paulwest1985]

Situation is just disappointing all around. This was a major missed opportunity. Now this "protest" comes off as a failure. This is not a decision that can be impulsively made. All ramifications have to be considered. And the fact that this was not a unified front proved detrimental.

once reporting goes beyond transactional based stuff, it gets nasty fast

a whole lot of narrative building, back scratching, he said she said, all in the name of being first and getting the exclusive
