@Minstrel even has his "Global Moderator" in green. I don't take much of what he says seriously.

You know there is only one reason for the Lakers to hire Lue

Well there has to be a reason Lue went to Lakers. I'm pretty sure Lebron gave his Okay to that hire.

Not for me, respect him in a lot of ways. It is my opinion though that Lue is not a good coach or even really a coach at all, he's just Lebron's friend. I don't think there is one other team in the NBA who if they were looking for a coach would consider Lue outside of where Lebron's playing.

Kwahi needs some help, he should join the Blazers with Dame, CJ and Nurk. Who cares paying luxury tax if we can get him.

We cant get him because of how the rules work, even if we wanted to give him all the money’s and pay the luxury tax we couldnt. I am saying we in terms of the Blazers again, yea I realize its not my money and Im not a part of it lol.

There are hard cap rules. Not gonna happen unless there are huge changes. Thinking about that is less and less likely with every playoff win.

I mean, if he REALLY wanted to it could be made to happen. S&T with TOR where, sure, they have to take on Turner+Meyers for a year, but would also get Simons, Zach, and pick(s). Surely they'd take on Turner+Meyers for one year in order to get something of value in return rather than nothing. Not gonna happen though.

I purposely maintain that image. The less people take me seriously, the more of a surprise it'll be when I merge every thread in this forum into one big Carmelo Anthony thread.

Didn't the Mod Gods already try that? I think we were going to revolt and tear the forum down?

Allen Crabbe Exercises $18.5M Player Option For 19-20 With Nets
May 3, 2019 9:27 AM

Allen Crabbe has exercised his $18.5 million player option for the 19-20 season with the Brooklyn Nets.

The Nets signed Crabbe to a four-year, $75 million offer sheet in 2016, which was subsequently matched by the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland then traded Crabbe to the Nets during the 2017 offseason for cap relief.

Crabbe will be an unrestricted free agent in 2020.

Apologies if this was posted already.

Right but saying things like LeBron is the coach is weird to me.

Does anyone in here believe Dame doesn't have the exact kind of free reign that LeBron does?

 

[dviss1]

Please give me an iota of evidence that supports this besides your opinion.

Damn. What a waste....

I dont believe Dame would wield the power in the same way Lebron does. Not sure thats even a right or wrong thing, but Dame is so unique in how he handles himself.

I literally said it was my opinion... For the record here’s some evidence, he didnt really last long in Cleveland after LBJ left. Never heard his name brought up for any other jobs other than LA. Do you have any evidence that Lue is a coach other teams would want?

 

[Chris Craig]

Lue is a pretend coach...a fill in so Lebron can be the actual coach

Didn't ask if he would wield it.
