NBA 2018-2019 playoffs thread...finals is set..”Warriors vs Raptors 2-4” Raptors win the title!!!
stop spreading barbershop talk....
three teams my azz.
and the physicals aren't for a damn life insurance policy.
you also have to do physicals when you play overseas.
I guess now I know why there aren't many black owners in the NBA. Let's give a player a guaranteed 7 figure max deal and cross our fingers and hope he can play.
hold up what do you mean nobody knew he had his leg amputated?
Somebody snitching to sabotage the deal. I don't know if its someone in favor of the deal or against it. Someone can't hold water.
Them old ass niggas are jealous/mad that Simmons in his basement done did more for journalism than any of them ever will. They outdated ass either need to move out the way or take notes and I personally don't even care for Simmons but you can see the hatred in their heart.
Lakers gonna let Kyle Kuzma be the reason why they won't get AD? Just pull the trigger. Laker done fucked their team up anyway. Only chance you got is to get AD.
Cousins was not given a max deal and for a 1 year 5 million dollar midlevel exception they gambled knowing he was coming off an injury.
He was also shipped to the G League initially.
Big difference between a max deal and 5 million
From what I'm reading it's not a requirement for all contracts. It's typically stipulated in trades and at times waived depending on circumstances.
Not really in yall's battle... was just interested so read up on in it.
My bad now it’s at least 6 but nevermind.....we are gonna ignore decorated journalist who ask these questions to execs for a living for a “ballscout” in a message board.
And AGAIN you don’t know what you are talking about. Boogie LITERALLY did the same thing with the SAME injury for this season. His Achilles was torn. He wouldn’t have passed a physical last July. He didn’t play until what March? By your logic he couldn’t have signed until then.
Please stfu
What he said wasn’t wrong, Simmons is ok, but he gets a lot of praise and has a lot of fanboys, he’s basically a Boston Celtic homer, comedy writer, obsessed with the NBA, some of his old columns were cool, but it’s cringy how even Jalen Rose gives him the “massa” treatment...
First you said you can’t sign a contract of any kind without passing a physical ... now it’s you can’t get a max without it. Man Kevin Durant and Boogie are not nearly on the same tier. KD was best basketball player in the world in his prime. Boogie ain’t that. Durant coming back at 85% of what he was is still far superior to Boogie. He’s getting a max and I can’t wait till it happens so your dumb ass can see this.
This ain’t a battle bruh. This is a dumb ass nigga trying to debate common fucking sense. It’s 59 reporters reporting that these teams want to give him a max and this idiot still talking about no.
Bron the GOAT
Its hard for cacs to move on and admit they wrong.
Show was awful. Beadle stinks.
Paul is the only thing that made that show topic worthy this season. His trolling is probably what will save his job.
What you're saying is making no sense. You said in order to sign with a team you have to pass a physical. He brings up Cousins and you talking about because he only signed for 5 million. May be what you're saying is going over my head.
Nah it’s under your feet because what he’s saying is absolute bullshit
If he’s good it’ll be a bidding war
possibility. I hope. Otherwise I wouldn’t max him if I was a team after that statement.
I don't know the teams but Mavs better be one. They don't have a 1st next year but got one this year.......play some bad to mediocre basketball and KD ready and KP and Luka got a year under their belt. You're basically paying him to rehab that 1st year......small price to pay for a player of his caliber. Better believe teams will be interested.
Sons of NBA players.. Adept at handling media. That could have gone all wrong for some players given those questions.
exactly...I’m surprised @ the low level of inquiry for the most part...5th graders could’ve came up w/ a better set of questions
Better be the damn Bulls. We gave weak ass Otto Porter $30 million I’ll take KD today after surgery over Otto in his physical prime.
I knew I wasn't losing it. I've seen in trades players have to pass a physical and rare occasions of players in free agency signing but I've never seen a star be hurt and a team said naw we don't want you because you hurt and didn't pass a physical.
If you have a pre-existing issue and everyone knows about it then it’s cool.
But if there’s a trade and the physical shows that you have issues that weren’t disclosed or not known about then that trade will fall through. If the other team doesn’t want to deal with those issues.
yeah. like with the Thomas trade to the Cavs
^^^^^
I was JUST gonna post this...
Ainge been treating his players like "assets" for years.
For every one killing golden state?
don't forget Isiah Thomas.
and what happened in BOSTON was not JUST because Ainge treated the whole AD trade thing WRONG TOO...
Stevens (who somehow came out of ALL THIS completely unscathed) handled the line up WRONG too.
And had NO CONTROL over his team.
So I never understand how everyone was so upset about how the YOUNG players on the Lakers acted to the trade rumors (which by the way they REALLY need to man up)
But IGNORE how that whole Boston team went bananas too...
IN THE PRESS!

I been looking at Klay side eye since he tried to defend that white man who PUSHED Lowry.
Just saw KDs mom interview.. Its obvious to me she holds GSW responsible for this disaster. But, what doe she know. Shes just making assumptions.
For some reason I feel AD is somewhat overhyped.
Watching Leonard this playoff make me wonder could AD do the same with this same Raptors squad.
I’m not denying his talent. But he’s been injury prone and hasn’t gotten anywhere in the playoffs.
I don’t know. AD seems to be getting a lot of attention and looks like he’ll end up in the same situtation he was in coming out of NO.

Jalen?
I agree with you on everything else. I just never saw him and Jalen interact.
Simmons been wack.
He's a new age PER/stat player
His game is designed for stat geeks.
I never thought his domination of the game on the court matched his stats
It doesn't help that you know he's going to miss 5-20 games
They play a part, but people also need to stop treating KD like some 30 year old child.
People keep talking about pressure...but that shit is coming from fans and writers....and we all know KD is one of the most sensitive players of all time....so he actually listens and acknowledges that shit instead of tuning it out.
