Good question. First, don’t get it wrong. TV acting is art too. I think I’d stay on Two and a Half Men. I like TV acting. Very satisfying. I wouldn’t necessarily ever get another TV show and money is finite. I’d get all I could when I could. Once Two and a Half Men ends, I can do Broadway. Unlike the NBA, I can’t age out of an acting career if I’m good at what I do.

I wasn’t intending to say TV acting wasn’t art, it obviously is. Just going off of you saying that Broadway was a dream.

good night Eric, good discussion!

If everyone in here could be 6’7’ and built like a Greek god with more money than they ever needed, and hung out at clubs for ONE night, you’d know why they want to live in LA, Miami, NY or even Dallas or Houston. Portland has literally nothing like it. Gotta put yourself in that mindset and be realistic.

Sounds like a lot of potential STD's to me. There are beautiful women everywhere. Players can visit those places in the offseason. Temptation is not a good thing on a nightly basis.
 
And as far as weather goes, it always being sunny is overrated too. I lived in Hawaii for 3 years. During my early 20's. After a while i looked more forward to doing things indoors. Movies, going to the gym, partying at bars. The heat got old. I like the four seasons, just not the extremes. I've found my comfort zone at 70 on the high side, 40 on the low. We have 300 days of sunshine a year here in Denver. But i will pass on the hot days, and the snow days (delivery driver ). Nothing better than a 65 degree day here. But i like a nice rainy day. By the way it didn't rain that much in Eugene. Not even close to what i remember growing up in Portland.

I disagree. If you are wealthy, LA is awesome. If you are young and attractive and wealthy? Yeah, sign me up. Cannot beat the weather. Beautiful areas to live, can do whatever you want entertainment-wise. I don’t understand how anyone could question why these guys want to live in LA. I lived in SD for a long time. We would go up to LA for the weekend. We were not rich athletes haha and it was still awesome.

Traffic sucks. People suck. No seasons. LA is the only place where I could see someone thinking “can this person help my career” every time I met someone.
 
I think the addition of K Love, if he is bought out, is the only move that happens by training camp. I think the Simmons thing is dead. I look for the Sixers to start the season with him . Teams are calling Morey's hand. He has to come down on compensation. But i think he's too hard headed to do that.

Morey would be wise to wait on Simmons until the deadline in case he builds his value up with his play...now he's selling low but asking high.....same with CJ....he ended the season on a low and if you trade him after he builds value you'll have more trade options..to me this is what is going on although I don't think CJ is actually on the block
 
Everyone can have their opinions on where to live. The fact remains that NBA guys love LA. So all the things that people in here don’t like are irrelevant. Half the league literally moves to LA in the off-season. It’s a different world and they love it. I’m not sure what we are even debating.

I"ve gotta disagree with LA being a huge NBA draw as a city...LA is like 300 small towns next to each other..there's not much city and the stars that work there tend to live in La Jolla or Santa Barbara and that's not to mention the traffic....like you said..people are different but New Yorkers and Miami and Atlanta NBA guys like the east coast urban scene way more than LA.....the draw in playing in LA is the endorsement exposure and the red carpet access...the weather but the city ain't all that much fun..the ocean is cool if you grew up in Nebraska

Maybe that's the missing link in the Portland sales pitch. "Hey, we're not LA, but neither is anywhere else, and those players all live in LA during the off-season, too."
