You do this to any other fanbase?

As if he's Wemby or Chet.
If another fan base has a need that they could have addressed in the draft but failed to I absolutely will.

Especially seeing how the Lakers could greatly benefit from his services and he might be struggling for playing time once Tari Eason comes back... cam could have been a key contributor for the Lakers and he may be relegated to the bench for us because of our young talent at the wing position (Tate, Amen, Eason)

Rockets took him because he was a projected lottery pick that fell way further than he should have. And if I'm being honest, golden state could have used him, but they went with a local boy instead and he's worked out well. Can't knock Miami Jaime is a beast so that's a solid pick. LAKERS seemingly screwed the pooch on this one and all over twitter you have Laker fans whining about how they should hand drafted him and that your gm is an idiot.

Players mad about the 65 game rule but didn’t say shit about players ripping their fans off by being healthy scratches. Him and Tyrese gotta look at their fellow players and blame them. They had to know that the owners weren’t going to just sit back and let folks keep shitting on the regular season as if it didn’t matter. Now players will lose money cuz they won’t reach contact incentives and some with legit injuries will “force it” just to get those 65 games. Oh well. Now is the time to figure out how to take care of your bodies enough to not miss more than 17 games a year.

It’s been done and ironically by the “lesser talented and physically gifted” old heads of the past. Everybody wanna claim these players are better, well they soft as shit, injured all the time. Man up

The old heads played a softer style of basketball. They didn't have to close out and run every guard off the 3 point line like today cuz the guard play was ass and they couldn't shoot. They even made it WNBA distance for 3 years to help with scoring. :lol: Fouls were called every other play and there wasn't much motion offense happening. Now the game is played at 110 mph and every one on the court is a 3 point threat. Because of advertisements and "doubleheaders" fouls are rarely called in this era save for a few star players to help with broadcast time restraints. Today's guys take way more contact. The old heads were washed up after 13-15 seasons cuz they didn't work out and didn't live in the gym. Today's players are all playing longer and the stars are still posting 30 points a game and trip dubs in their mid 30's because they are more skilled and taking care of their bodies. What you say makes 0 sense. Eventually the rule will be changed when bums start receiving these awards and accolades because stars are hurt. It devalues them greatly. Joker winning MVP this year as a giveaway only because Embiid is hurt isn't the narrative you want attached to your awards. Its like bragging about being an all star reserve.
:dunno:

Was this posted in here? It's clear that short suspension didn't work and why I said he should have gotten until the AllStar Break or rest of the season

It's a 82 game season, if you missed 23+ games why would you think you should be considered for a NBA award, then they don't want to suit up play minimal minutes to rest that way because they don't want their averages to take a hit. I was watching Cam and Mase this morning cracking up, Cam said Isaiah Thomas played with his ankle falling off his ankle..lol

Imagine playing 75+ games and losing an award to someone that play 55-60 games.

If they do get rid of this 65 game rule in future negotiations, maybe also look at who played the most games between the finalists for the award.

Said dude made 53 million in his career this is someones response...lol


It'll take a person making 50k a year 1000 years to make 50 million dollars and a person making 100k 500 years to make 500 million dollars.

I wish him the best of look but don't expect the average person to feel sorry for him.

I hope they get it done for him and his kids though.

C'mon, man, he's easily top 100 all-time as a player. He and Rasheed Wallace should have been on the top 75 list a few years ago but people only assess half of the game.

Don’t mind me, I just like talking shit. I know Dray’s impact on the game and especially the Warriors.
