AROUND THE NBA THREAD. Sept 2021 edition

[illmatic99]

He is, sure. I didn't say he was bad at the one thing that he offers. Just that he is strictly a scorer. CJ gets a whole lot of shit on this board, even the MeJ nickname, gets compared to Lou Will, etc., and has 4 times the assists that MPJ provides.

i think the cj criticism wouldn't be nearly as bad if he were 22 and 6'10.

I know these preseason rankings always leave something to be desired but I think they have the West about right and that would put us in the play-in. Hope their wrong and we're much better or that if we are losing to the top half of the league regularly that we make a big change so we can be competitive come playoff time.

Bro with the way MPJ shoots, he doesn’t ever need to pass

At the risk of sounding like an asshole, I really wish one of these high profile jock anti-vaxers would get sick and have to miss the entire season - or even suffer permanent lung damage and have to retire. In the greater scheme of things the lives saved by their bad example would be worth it.

Beal had to miss out on a gold medal because he tested positive during the USA exhibition games in Vegas. Unfortunately his reaction to that was...


And his wife was also on social spreading this kinda nonsense too. Worried me a bit seeing them both unmasked at Dames wedding

These idiots won’t get paid if they miss due to avoiding the big ouchy right?

 

[GrandpaBlaze]

Maybe they have. Food is a hard habit to break.

Maybe he suffers from Swanigan-itis.

Why wouldn’t they get paid? Isn’t there contacts guaranteed?

 

[Buffalo Custard]

Why wouldn’t they get paid? Isn’t there contacts guaranteed?

If they show up at camp physically unable to perform because they are 100 LBs overweight, do they get paid? If they show up for a game too intoxicated to play? Look how Magic was treated over HIV - and you can't spread that just by breathing on people.

Getting paid 8 figures to play a sport should carry some obligations with it!

 

[calvin natt]

Why wouldn’t they get paid? Isn’t there contacts guaranteed?

Because they are choosing not to get something done that is required? They don’t choose to tear an ACL. It’s their choice, and the team should have a choice to penalize.

Brooklyn sure seemed willing to trade him. Maybe we know the reason why now

Did his wanky shrivel up & not work, like some other meatheads stated. Sounds like he has a major case of Headupcha.

Old, suck at defense, mediocre shooting.

KCP and Danny Green were great 3+D options. Now they got Carmelo D and Russ 3's. Gonna be a fun year for haters to watch.
