Jimmy butler's

I forgot about Jimmy Butler having an affair with Rachel Nichols being on his long list of folktales. He has got to be the most interesting man in the Association. No story about him would surprise me at this point

James "Jimmy" Butler is national treasure and a hero

Dray to lakers next year confirmed if dubs lose this series

Nah, similar to the situation with Kyrie Irving, the only way the Lakers could get Draymond would be to announce the rights of all of their new acquisitions (D'lo, Rui, Vanderbilt, Beasley) which doesn't make any sense.

Regardless of how this season ends, I think the Lakers will try their best to run it back next season with a few tweaks

 

[Glorfindel]

I know the Warriors will Win later but why do i have a feeling that they will collapse so bad and will be smashed by the lakers for 20+ points?

Not sure where to start with this graphic

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Chiney>Mikayla.

Can't believe y'all decided to start a race war
to defend the honour of an average lightskin black girl.

 

[rolaholic]

With all due respect, Chiney and Ms. McNutt could have it all

No Monta

 

[MakeNTGreatAgain]

Why do you think her nickname is Taylor, The Created?

when i see her image my brain is starved of oxygen andblood therefore i stop thinking

It's not even close. Chiney is such an amazing, talented and beautiful Black woman.

This is exactly what I mean by him being immune to criticism. You won a title 4 years ago therefore you can do no wrong.

I’m not saying he’s a bad GM, he’s a great GM but hasn’t done a great job building this team in the last two years.

This “business decision” you speak of is exactly why trading for picks and maximizing your return is important. I don’t think players singing here is a bad as it was 10 years ago, but your best bet is to still draft, develop and/ or trade.

Not tanking means you don’t get high picks and not trading means you let players walk for nothing. So what? You sign? Your logic supports my argument.

Who said “he could do no wrong”? You’re just minimizing how difficult it is to win a title, so I pointed out how few guys across the league even have one.

If they would’ve traded OG for 4 first round picks in the end of the first round to Memphis then you would’ve been more encouraged? Or trading FVV for a late teens pick? You’re being presumptuous that his ownership wanted to see them Tank and rebuild — that’s the business of basketball part that I’m talking about. Neither of us our Raps fans so I doubt we follow close enough to even know that.

Man I just don't think a rebuilding team is gonna hit him with a long-term high-dollar deal given the new CBA restrictions.

It's literally suicide before your plane even gets off the ground. He's gonna need Golden State's help even if a separation is inevitable... Otherwise he's gonna be hurtin'.

Idk the salary situations but only Dallas, Portland & PHX make sense to me from a competitive standpoint.

Perk a fool for this

i like this segment

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Aint no way Dray is opting out and Steph won't let him get traded. They'll work like hell to move Poole but other than that they're stuck with what they got

 

[T0INE]

Sheesh at those contract numbers.

Tatum is a shoe-in for All NBA.

Think Brown has a chance at 2nd or 3rd team.

 

[NickFolarin]

At this point, what can you even get for Poole?

 

[lovehateself]

I know the Warriors will Win later but why do i have a feeling that they will collapse so bad and will be smashed by the lakers for 20+ points?

gods son gonna have to have a helluva pre-game speech tonight

might need to drop a few dang-nabbits, sumbeeches and bottom lines

 

[sohi 23]

Brook Lopez making the all defensive team and getting more DPOY Votes than Giannis is hilarious to me.

 

[storm2006]

Aint no way Dray is opting out and Steph won't let him get traded. They'll work like hell to move Poole but other than that they're stuck with what they got

I don't think it's about him opting out because is sick of GSW but more so opting out to get a long(er) term deal which is not unreasonable form a personal standpoint IMO
