Around the NBA: December to Remember 2018

I read embiid’s complaining about his role already.

Yep. It’s going to blow up, I think.

Meyers made Shaqtin !

Which play?

Probably his pass to the ref.

Meyers made Shaqtin !

Meyer's wife will now block Shaq.

 

[TorturedBlazerFan]

That whole shaqtin a fool is priceless.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Just curious, anybody watched any Big Three matches? I know AI joined the league and was wondering what the actual product was like?

I'd take this as a no.

 

[Hoopguru]

Interesting how Embid is struggling with playing on the perimeter spacing the floor more, since Butler joined the team. He say's its "frustrating and would like to play near the rim more".
Man, the game sure has changed. Could you imagine Shaq, Kareem, Walton not playing near the rim. Im all for allowing an offense to go through the big guy at the top of the key, but to space them away from the rim so guards can penetrate or shoot threes, wow. No wonder Pop isn't having fun anymore.

I read embiid’s complaining about his role already.

He doesn't like a stretch five format. He does not want to establish a perimeter position. The guy makes millions, his team is re surging and he complains like a spoiled brat. Of course, these days, media sources can't be validated as total truth.

 

[stampedehero]

Wow, we've got ourselves a hot take here !!!

Absolutely. I used logic for that epiphany.

Butler is now the Alpha on that team. Not sure a guy like Embid is good with that?
two company threes a crowd? with some multi millionaire 20 plus year olds.

 

[stampedehero]

Are you?

@HCP would not align with an old Seattle linage. It's like "Browns to Ravens" or Minnepolis to LA Lakers.

That is REAL! My opinion is you get paid, play like you earn it. Leave the ego in the parking lot.

When did they get put back together again?

 

[ripcityboy]

I'd take this as a no.

Can't say I blame them. Not exactly my idea of a good time. That's why I asked if anybody else had seen it.

I'd take Ayton off their hands for Meyers.

 

[julius]

swap draft picks! hehe

 

[ripcityboy]

Considering some of the trades proposed in this forum.... that's not too outlandish.

I would trade CJ for Booker in an instant!

 

[Rozay]

I would trade CJ for Booker in an instant!

You’ll have the same results

 

[BonesJones]

I would trade CJ for Booker in an instant!

And I'd trade Harkless for LeBron...

CJ's actually been a better shooter than Booker especially from distance. They both might as well not be on the court playing defense. The one Advantage is Booker is much younger, so he has in theory a higher ceiling to get too. Their both the type of guy who at least in my opinion is either scoring or not much else.
