The Official Around The NBA Thread.... June

And have a generational coach, and have no income tax.

You're making excuses. Boston has the 2nd highest flat income tax in the nation. Blaming Portland needs to stop. It's silly.

Jake seems to be doing fine this offseason!

Her name is Fine? How ironic.

Very misleading statement. Aka bs.

Mass. has a top income tax rate of 5.1%

OR top tax rate is 9.9% for income over $125,000

Rudy Gay opts out of last year of his contract, $8.8 million left on the table.
Why?

That's pretty much the non-taxpayer MLE. He'll get that on multiple years.

So he can sign with Portland, of course.

Clippers not picking up team option for Milos Teodosic. Sounds like they want to get younger.

Milos is a savvy veteran pg that made a positive impact last season. When he was not injured.

And, he'd fit right in with the local ungroomed hipster crowd:

Awesome neck beard!

Boston is also a destination city with a rich history and a great coach. Not a good comparison.

We are what we are, a mediocre team from a bad sports market. It sucks, but life sucks sometimes.

Woj says CP3 will re-sign in Houston and focus on recruiting LBJ.

They need quite a bit of cap maneuvering to get James and a lot of this will have to happen before they can legally talk to James. They will lose Capela for sure, and won't re-sign Ariza. No way they find a taker for Anderson, but we can help take on Eric Gordon if it's before July 1.

To be honest after listening to the local radio shows in LA for the last 10 days, I actually wouldn't mind seeing him go to Houston. The cocky arrogant entitled Laker fans are back in full force with their belief that only the LA media market is the right destination for LBJ. Oh how I would enjoy listening to them whine if he went elsewhere. They are so confident......

Meyers getting a little touchy in his old age. Can't blame him at this point, I guess, but the mature thing to do would be not respond at all. Or state that he's happy to continue doing some of the positive things he does for the community and let it go at that.

I think it would be awesome if he came into training camp beasting and making the leap...the guy has had the longest rookie wall in NBA history

Yo.

 

[riverman]

How long did LaRue Martin play?

Having trouble gripping with the fact that Dame and Co. killed them in the playoffs. Sucks to be a Laker.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Yo.

Is this guy a top ten draft pick?

 

[e_blazer]

More like a draft pimp.

Did you mean top ten daft prick? Because personal insults aren't allowed.

If he was practicing his on-court trash talk, he needs work

"Oh, yeah? Well I do a lot for my community!!"

"Gimmie that shit!" best Meyers trash talk ever after getting a rebound!

HCP is going to very upset all next season.
The Lakers are not getting LeBron.
The Lakers are not getting Kawhi.
The Lakers are not getting Paul George.
HCP will be left with holding the Ball.

 

[RR7]

Not really around the NBA related, but I remember a few were intrigued by him in the draft last year. Seemed a likely 1st rounder, and then marfan diagnosis.

 

[riverman]

HCP will be left with holding the Ball.

In other words...another day in the life of HCP
