Jimmy wasn’t gonna stay regardless. The real mistake was maxing out Simmons (I can take the L on that) and following it up with Brother Al. Tobias was gonna get maxed by the Nets in FA if we didn’t lock him up

 

[WASHED KING]

Ok to embarrass the black family but the white one gets discretion and privacy?

EYE SEE IT

why would the Celtics reach out to her? That’s overstepping boundaries imo.

Their loyalty is to protect the women who still work for the organization, not Nia Long lol that’s Ime’s job

Is the Nets KD era a failure?

This was a good one but I’m not going to do it BIG LEEMELONE Cashflow

Also, she literally said "I stand by him." Sounds like they're good.

Yes

OK, then The Process is absolutely a failure.

 

[RustyShackleford]

I know she and her son were publically embarrassed, but I can't really rock with here blaming the Celtics for this

They are your partner's employer, not your friend.

Your beef should be with Ime

 

[bostoiah]

I don’t understand how she expected the Celtics to keep a situation as big as this “private”. The head coach is suspended a whole year so it was bound to get out

They drafted Embiid. It worked.

they got lucky with Embiid since teams ahead of the Sixers were questioning Embiid's health during that draft year. just look at the other 2 players that got picked ahead of him.

 

[Based Jesus]

It's odd to finally do a PR run to make you look like the poor wife without ever actually criticizing the single person who did hurt you

 

[HIM]

These steph stories are reaching Jimmy Butler levels. His workout is so intense it makes other NBA players vomit after 5 minutes

 

[lawdog1]

I'm trying figure out how a discussion between someone from the Celtics and Nia would even work -

"Hi, Nia? This is Brad Stevens. So, um, how are you? "

"Not good. I got cheated on and the whole world knows about it."

"Right. Sorry about that. Well, anyway. Take care."

Situation sucks for you and your kid, but your dude Ime is the only one to blame here.

Still had to pull the trigger. The suns got lucky and didn’t draft Luka. The kings got lucky that the suns didn’t draft Luka but they didn’t draft Luka. You see where this is going

 

[sneeker]

More like 4 years of tanking. They got a treasure chest of picks and players so the Process definitely worked

Outside of KD going to a prime Warriors team, there's no such thing as guarantees in the result

The Warriors almost lost themselves

I dont believe it worked considering they still didn't get the result that they are still after. the Sixers relied too much on drafting young players based on potential rather than developing a solid core. outside of Embiid, Sixers are nothing.

 

[amitt5504]

if Embiid was not injured going into the draft, does Bron trade him still for Love? See where this is going lol luck is luck

 

[WASHED KING]

Hope the Celtics win nothing for what they did to Ime.

 

[B Sox]

Are we sure Demar won’t he traded by the deadline? In the offseason?

Wanted Dallas to go after him 2 years ago. Folks thought it was a crazy idea.

He'd still fit.

Rocky got range tho...

Right. Imagine the theories dudes would running off with if they fired him and gave no explanation

To be fair, Rocky makes an insane amount of money compared to other mascots as well
