Re: NBA Thread
They should get rid of Draymond and Igoudala, extend Klay and sign LeBron. Draymond is not worth max extension and Bell can play just as good of defense, which is the only thing they would really miss if they lost him. Igoudala just straight sucks.
I'd like KDs bitch ass to tell me to my face that wouldn't be an awesome team.

Re: NBA Thread
Draymond's contract is good for another two seasons though. I do think the Warriors will look at dealing him in the 2019-2020 season if Bell continues to develop. The Iggy contact was a PR move to the rest of the players in the league more than anything.verb_to_trust wrote:They should get rid of Draymond and Igoudala, extend Klay and sign LeBron.

Would you take my squad or not? You'll hate to see Klay on the Bulls if you don't.

Re: NBA Thread
I just meant that it's BS. That was just LeBron trying to make the Cavs do something/implicitly tell interested teams that he's not long for Cleveland, so clear cap space for me now.verb_to_trust wrote:They should get rid of Draymond and Igoudala, extend Klay and sign LeBron.

I do enjoy all the "LeBron would destroy his legacy" stuff that's come out in the last two days after all the "DON'T CRITICIZE KD HE HAS A RIGHT TO DO WHAT HE WANTS" stuff in 2016.

Re: NBA Thread
People, yeah. But much of the NBA sports media defended him (which, for the record is good--the man has a right to do whatever will make him happy--just don't get mad when people point out that you took the easy way out), especially compared to 2010 when the same people murdered LeBron.PHATJ wrote:All I remember is people calling KD a pussy for leaving OKC.4/5 wrote:I do enjoy all the "LeBron would destroy his legacy" stuff that's come out in the last two days after all the "DON'T CRITICIZE KD HE HAS A RIGHT TO DO WHAT HE WANTS" stuff in 2016.

Re: NBA Thread
LeBron normalized it in 2010. If he joins the Rockets people will slurp him. Only way he gets backlash now is if he somehow ended up a Warrior.

Re: NBA Thread
The backlash against LeBron in 2010 would have been significantly less if he didn't have the TV show too announce it.

Greg? Monroe used to regularly light up the Celtics but I'm not sure how he fits on the Celtics.

I know, it was awful. I agree with you. He shouldn't have done it. Maybe the response would have been slightly different, but I doubt it would have changed much.

Re: NBA Thread
Idk, maybe. It certainly won't be 2010, but I think it will be more criticized than KD. Which is fine I guess because it means people feel like the stakes are bigger.verb_to_trust wrote:LeBron normalized it in 2010. If he joins the Rockets people will slurp him.
I really hope he doesn't go to the Rockets.
