@LordSinister , when you finish mopping that oil rig bring yo bitch ass to The District and come get this half breed the fuck out my city.
Lol, MPJ is the first person I thought of. I'm a Nuggets fan and i'm glad he's going to be around for a while but he as not earned that contract. BUT in his preseason game he was out there trying to look like a young KD. Putting the ball on the floor and dribbling and actually using his damn size(6'10) to get buckets. It's preseason though but he needs to at least get better there.
Kuzma getting "cooked" is Way too overhyped. People act like you can play real defense nowadays. You can't put that Rueben Patterson or Tony Allen defense on these players now. The offensive players have too much space and opportunity and will draw a foul even if you breathe on them. Ok, Jalen Green knows how to dribble. Yay!
Thanks for saying it and saving me the time from typing it.
Kuzma didn’t get cooked at all and he wasn’t on skates. People don’t know what getting cooked or shook is anymore.
I hate this dumbass argument.... land of the free.... nobody's making you do ANYTHING.... you don't have to get vaccinated.... you just can't work in the nba if you don't.... if he wants a valid comparison, it's the same as a sign on the door of a local business that says NO SHOES NO SHIRT NO SERVICE.
You are more than welcome to do as you wish and not wear those articles of clothing outside of this establishment.... but when you enter if you are in violation of any of these stated policies then we reserve the right to refuse service to you.
There are tons of jobs available that aren't requiring you to be vaccinated. If you don't want to do what your employer is asking you to do then go find new employment.
Kuz only made one mistake, which was forcing him left at the end, which gave him a clear path to the rim. Other than that he played the other 3 secs perfectly.
Guy is looking more and more like Adidas' bottom bitch than anything else.
They are going to be a problem. Their lack of size will hurt them in the long run.
As a Chi native and long time Bulls fan I fully agree.
The Bulls really could have used Paul Milsap. Pat Williams(who grew an inch) was slated to be the PF but he out at least another month. The backup C Tony Bradley did not play nor did the euro Marko Simonovic 6'11 guy they drafted last year. Having them in the rotation will help but I would love to see a 5th veteran big. I don't miss soft ass Lauri, jughead ass Wendell, and slow Lionel Richie ass Otto good riddance. I do miss Thad Young, Daniel Theiss, and Daniel Gafford, I wish we still had at least one of those guys from last year.
They look really good. Who knew, giving the point guard the reigns makes the offense function better? Stan should be banished from coaching and commentating about basketball.

That's the issue. You can play in the NBA unvaccinated (Beal, Jonathan Isaacs). It's not an employer (NBA) mandate but a city one.

Your absolutely right. He comes off as another muthafucka who wants you to think he's smartest person in the room
Man, If the majority of cities conform to this policy, the players will have no choice but to get vaccinated, or leave all that NBA money on the table and take they asses overseas.

Unvaccinated NBA Players Face Steep Fines For Each Game They Miss, According To Agreement
Updated Oct 4, 2021, 12:46pm EDT
TOPLINE
The NBA and the National Basketball Players Association have agreed to a reduction in pay of slightly more than 1% of a player’s salary for each game unvaccinated players are forced to sit out due to vaccine-related regulations in their home cities, ESPN reported Monday.
Irving could forfeit north of $360,000 per home game if he does not get vaccinated.
KEY FACTS
Mike Bass, the NBA’s executive vice president of communications, announced last week that “any player who elects not to comply with local vaccination mandates will not be paid for games that he misses."
The player's union has not publicly commented on the league's statement.
ESPN reports both sides have agreed to a compromise, with unvaccinated players being docked 1/91.6th of their salary for each game they miss.
This means unvaccinated players will forfeit approximately 42.6% of their total salary this season if they sit out every home game, as opposed to 50% of their salary.
KEY BACKGROUND:
The NBA has mandated that all its referees have to be vaccinated against Covid-19, and that anyone "within close proximity" of players and referees will also have to be inoculated. However, the league and the NBPA agreed a vaccine mandate would not be enforced on players. Yet, the NBA informed teams last month that they will have to follow local regulations related to vaccines. This impacts three organizations: the Golden State Warriors, who play their home games in San Francisco, the New York Knicks, who play in Manhattan, and the Brooklyn Nets. Warriors forward Andrew Wiggins, the team’s second-leading scorer last season, had been adamant in his refusal to get vaccinated and applied for a religious exemption late last month, which was denied by the league. Then, over the weekend, Golden State’s head coach Steve Kerr told reporters Wiggins had received a Covid-19 vaccine. "Andrew got vaccinated," Kerr said Sunday. "He just told me today that he was fine with us acknowledging it, and that will be the end of it.” The Knicks have confirmed their team is 100% vaccinated. Yet, in Brooklyn, one of the Nets key players, Kyrie Irving, was unable to attend his team’s media day last week due to the locally enforced Covis-19 protocols, bringing into question his availability to play at home this season.
BIG NUMBER:
$14,912,117: That’s the total salary—approximately $364,000 per contest—Irving will forfeit this season if he refuses to get vaccinated and cannot play in Brooklyn’s home games.
TANGENT:
Speaking with reporters last week, Washington Wizards shooting guard Bradley Beal not only said he remains unvaccinated but also openly questioned why others feel the need to get the jab. Beal claimed the league “kind of forces us, in a way, to want to get it,” but stated, “I don’t think you can pressure anybody into doing things or putting things in their body.” Beal also stated, “Some people have bad reactions to the vaccine,” and claimed, “Nobody likes to talk about that,” despite the fact that reactions to Covid vaccines have been studied vigorously. Because Washington, D.C., has not enacted a local vaccine mandate, Beal will not be forced to sit out any games this season. The mandates in place in New York City and San Francisco only apply to players on home teams, so those on visiting squads are not required to be vaccinated as long as they provide proof of a negative Covid-19 test taken within 48 hours of the game.
Anyone see Jarrett Allen's dead body....John Collins should be arrested what he did to Allen...
Old negro problems. As long as he is healthy for the playoffs.
I said this to someone earlier
The other people, they had relatively short careers. Dude played damn near 15 years. You just finished playing. You blew your money already?
