The Official Off-Season NBA Thread

Indeed, only 20 home games left after that date. Nets have played 14 home games without Kyrie since that date so far

If Kyrie played in those 14 home games, the Nets or he would have paid only $58k unless the NBA fine them $50 k each game. it'd be $758k

League/Silver wouldn't allow it

Again, the NBA wasn't going to allow the Nets to pay fines for Kyrie to play home games.

President Brad is HIM.

As I said the other day, window re-opened for the C’s.

Silver is a players guy. He has always supported players

"This law in New York, the oddity of it to me is that it only applies to home players. I mean, I think if ultimately that rule is about protecting people who are in the arena, it just doesn’t quite make sense to me that an away player who’s unvaccinated can play in Barclays but the home player can’t. So, to me, that’s a reason they should take a look at that ordinance." - Adam Silver

 

[HOU$TON]

Doc wildn. Cp3 definitely put them on the map.

(It was actually Blake)

d3si sorry bro but the fines angle was disputed in this thread a while ago already. I was even corrected on this a while back

That quote has nothing to do about the fines angle

I’ll give Doc some credit. I would say CP3/Blake had the biggest part in it. But Doc went on a press run when he first got hired spreading the gospel.

 

[addict4sneakers]

100% Blake

Crazy how CP3 3 years older than both Blake and DJ and hes still playing at an elite level while both them dudes washed. Granted they both bigger dudes and more wear and tear on their bodies but still.

 

[rolaholic]

100% Blake

Blake made them respectable and entertaining, CP trade made them a legitimate squad with high ambitions

 

[akajae]

Glen has CTE from all that tattooing he does to his head

 

[lawdog1]

Correct. CP3 consented to be traded there because of Blake's rookie season. If CP3 and Blake weren't there, Doc wouldn't have taken the job.

Doc never got Blake and CP3 further with the Clippers than Vinny DelNegro did.

I seen a video on why Lob City failed a while ago and I forget what was the reasoning the dude had.

I think they were missing a real elite combo guard.

 

[don ramon]

doc just making these self-absorbed claims in his old age trying to see which one sticks that can cement whatever legacy he's looking to stake

 

[HIM]

Lawrence frank/ballmer played bigger roles than Doc tbh.

 

[akajae]

David Stern played a bigger role if we're being honest.

 

[HIM]

If we really want to go back. It was Dmiles and Q Rich. Blake wanted to be drafted by the Clippers because of them.

wouldn't expect anything less from a 2008 Celtic

All good man

All I know is that Kyrie will play in home games when playoffs start no matter what

Few days ago, I just found out that Mets and Yankees have many unvaccinated players. I was like yeah, mayor is gonna make a change for those teams somehow

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

I legit think cp3 hampered Blake's growth as a point forward. He was doing Lebron type things early on. Not that he was on that level but closer than someone like Ben Simmons for example. Cp3 also made that squad a bunch of crybabies

 

[rolaholic]

Yea Aaron Judge forced Adams hand more than Kyrie tbh

Man was definitely pressed about potentially angry Yankee and Mets fans

[storm2006]

Probably a good thing Blake didn't develop more as a Point Forward if it would have put him in the same light as Ben Simmons
