Knicks needs a rim blocker.

They’re kidding themselves if they think KAT taking 3s will get them past Cleveland or Boston.
They also need some

These players are gonna fuck around and lose 100% guaranteed contracts.

I was all for more player empowerment about 10 years ago, but since they've had it, a large % of these players have shown to be selfish and don't care about the league. The optics are terrible. Ben Simmons stealing $200 million, Jimmy under contract for 2 more years and sabotaging his own team to get out, Kawhi has been on vacation with pay for about 2 yrs, etc...I could go on all day. They're fuckin up the product for future hoopers.

I think the bigger the bag gets, the greater the chance of partially guaranteed deals. These teams aren't gonna get locked into paying someone 70 mil annually without a backdoor to escape it. And they'll have niggas like Ben Simmons to thank for it.
One thing that will never happen is players losing guaranteed contracts!! It will never happen!! Only professional sport that doesn’t have it is football and players are trying to get it in that league! NBA, no matter how some players are, will always have it…

Joe lacob bought the warriors for $450million dollars
The warriors are now worth $9.4billion dollars.

Steph Curry has made Joe lacob 9 billion dollars

How much money has Joe lacob paid Steph Curry to make 9 billion dollars?


The stars are underpaid by billions
Guaranteed contracts in a salary cap sport completely funded by television dollars is the least they could do. The absolute fucking least

Wild how now that you can't just triple team Steph and know there's a good chance Wiggins won't do shit - games look very different

Did you support the trade? I always was wary of Butler because of his age and contract. I had my sights set on KD but once he declined , I honestly would have sat pat. Butler is performing better than I expected and I appreciate the short-term boost as a fan but keep in mind he will be making damn near twice as much as Wiggins over the next two years. If they get the short-term benefit and send Butler somewhere else in the next year, getting value for him and getting off that contract, I think it can be a good trade. But unless they really deliver— like a title or a finals— I don’t think it’s a good trade if Butler is still on the roster in two years getting paid almost $60 million.

I agree about guaranteed contracts… if I had my way, a lot more money would be going to the players generally, not a bullshit 50/50 revenue split.

But I do wish the distribution was more equitable. I don’t think it is good to have a few billionaires and other players for whom tournament win bonuses are meaningful. Even though nobody buys a ticket to see Kevon Looney or GP2, players like that shouldn’t be getting comparative scraps. The game needs its stars but it can’t function without its role players and it’s easy to undervalue their contributions.

Who knew all it took was to direct the right nigga jokes to the right Black man and Black girl to get folks fake acting like they're passionate NBA fans again. :roflmao:

I'm confident the racist hatred and white supremacy of Bron hate will reappear again, and it when it does, the nigga jokes will return. Bron should be above trolling at this point, if he's not, fuck it, no one is. This is why Bron hate only works ONLINE, outside such stupidity and bigotry is met with a slap in the face.

Anyways, tonight is the Lakers vs. Nuggets game. These are the rules. If the less accomplished Euro player wins, lets celebrate it and troll LeBron fans. If the Lakers win, let's lie and pretend we don't see it and ignore the greatness bestowed on us. Just maybe if we repeat this process enough we can bring Kobe's nigga ass back from the grave and get all that yellow shit out of Michael Jordan's eyeballs.
