THEE OFFICIAL 2019-2020 NBA OFFSEASON THREAD: VICTORY LAP

[darthska]

I’d take tony Parker over kidd

Ooooohhhh, so you just hate Kidd. All good, but you shoulda just said that.

 

[Platinum State]

The owners ain't trying to loose money.

I get that but these billionaire owners should be ok with losing money for once.
Not every year can be prosperous

 

[ny mavurs]

I assume Kawhi is now in a monitored hypersleep regenerating and having his programming updated.

 

[getback]

How are the local networks with multiple teams going to decide which sport takes precedent? Lol

Good question. I know our main sports channel in the Boston area (NESN) has a sister network that they usually put the other team on when the Red Sox and Bruins are playing simultaneously. No idea how they'd decide which one to put on the main network though. Would probably come down to past ratings.

Not having that mindset is how they got to become wealthy/an Owner

 

[addict4sneakers]

Ooooohhhh, so you just hate Kidd. All good, but you shoulda just said that.

it’s not about hating kidd. I don’t value him that highly. He had a great career but he’s for sure not the 2nd best PG ever. Not even close

 

[dacomeup]

Crazy thing is, Kidd as damn near a 40 year old on that Mavs finals run is better than 90% of the PGs today.

You routinely have some horrible takes . All that Knicks watching is rotting your brain.

 

[dacomeup]

Ska in the middle of getting that taper as he typed this

Nah, he definitely is getting a soup bowl.

Someone should tell them if they decreased the number of regular season games by 20 they'd make even more money because advertisers would go nuts over those slots. You could have so many more nationally televised games, and networks would fight over an even more limited number of games. Also, regular season games would be more meaningful. But, no, it's still 82 games because they want butts in seats...except so many arenas are half empty because of the stupid schedule.

2nd best PG the Knicks ever had. Added him and instantly became a 50 win team.

Imagine Kidd and Harden today. OOooooff might **** around and get past the 1st round.

All my takes here get revisited much later. Pull the receipts. Remember when ya'll put Harden over Kobe though. Good times.

Honestly though, been outside all week. No fresh air when you're at home.

 

[Zo gif]

So we be mob for life for real

 

[dacomeup]

This says far more about the Knicks than anything else.

I mean the players would lose out on money as well (althought not as much because players don't make money from concessions, seats). Owners and players split the same pie. Fewer games= less ad revenue, fewer jerseys are sold in arenas, etc. Fewer games just means the BRI (basketball-related income) pie is smaller.

So Nike is closing down their stores (except for China, Japan, S. Korea, etc.) in an effort to stop the spread of the virus and for the well-being of their employees.

But they won't do anything about their sweatshops lol.

For the record, I still buy their products regardless of how they're made.

 

[SpittaJetLife]

Bet so I’ll be able to eat again on betting

 

[chrisftdot]

Tell me this don't look like a Bang Bros intro...

 

[SpittaJetLife]

Extend season. And delay start of season next year. Perhaps start league in Nov. makes sense.

 

[lawdog1]

I am unfamiliar with that reference...

Hard to do the, "If Jason Kidd played today" card because if he was born in 1995, there is no telling what type of game he would have in 2020.

 

[MVP]

If Jason Kidd played today he'd be Lonzo Ball

 

[DCAllAfrican]

Speaking of NeNe, can somebody find me the video of when AI was with the Nuggets and they just got let out of a club and him, Nelo, and JR were just in the street actin like some fools?

"NeNe still with Prono HUnnie."

SOmebody has to remember that video.....

 

[DCAllAfrican]

If Jason Kidd played today he'd be Lonzo Ball

That is one helluva take.

I underSTAND why one WOULD say that but, I don't know man.

So many lies.

[DCAllAfrican]

Back to Lonzo vs. Kidd.

I view Lonzo's passing to be more of the managerial style than Kidd's playMaking style of passing.

Kidd takes more risks and thus more dynamic with his passing.

Not saying Lonzo never makes plays but they aren't on the same level when it comes to playmaking.
