Is that a snake?

Lol

It looks like a snake lol, but I think it's a Spongebob meme.

Not when Teams are allowed to do the same like the Clippers did Blake..

Like the Knicks did Hardaway Jr.....etc

Exactly. It is business

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Players would never agree to that.

Agree to what?
I didnt offer anything specific.

And, if the owners ever did unite, they would win.

There is no NBA owner whose life would change in any way if they stopped earning team revenue.

Westbrook going to Miami probably makes them a playoff team. The Thunder don't want Miami to be good because they own 2 first round picks from them.

No owner can restrict a FA player from leaving.
No player without a no trade clause cant be traded.

Call me old school, but contracts are just that.
I’ve learned several times, if its not there in writing, it doesnt exist.

PG is the first player to force his way out only a year after signing his contract.

League can't do anything about the AD situations

Then pay him for the next 4 years and see how that goes.

I don't think the Heat care too much to make a trade. In 2021, we will have space to go after some top players so I doubt they'll bend to include Bam or Herro. They won't bend over backwards to make a deal happen....not that desperate

So to get a player the caliber of RW (to team up with Butler) you'd say no to Herro or Bam being included? I'm not saying both.....I get not wanting to trade 3 youngsters for him.

Not sure what can or cant be done, but Klutch seems to be a common denominator for alot of the problems.
What Morris did the Spurs ( assuming he does) is pretty shitty.

Yeah it's getting out of hand

Yes

Ehh teams have done the same to before. It is what it is

 

[msgkings322]

The GMs could choose to have a spine.

Meaning what? Tell disgruntled players to shut up and play? Good luck with the effect on his effort.

 

[Black Adam]

Fuck.


No.

I still say LeBron is the best player in the NBA, healthy.

But, he's 35.

what if we said "pretty please "...?

 

[bksballer89]

Herro signed

 

[Ickey Shuffle]

Herro signed

He can still be traded though. Just not in 30 days.

*See Jimmy Butler in Minny.

Fucker played when he wanted to.

Kyrie threatened to have surgery.

I think it's shitty.

Even if my team benefits from it.

But, a Team can trade you when they change their minds.

So, it is what it is.

 

[Wamu]

Iggy

Pop?

Highly doubt russ is still on okc in a month. With the free agents in 2021, no way an i making a ridiculous deal for russ

Can't defend Kyrie because once he said that shit about the Earth, he's a lost cause lol.

But Jimmy had a point ( IMO ). Towns is too busy playing Fornite instead of working on his defense and Wiggins is just a scrub.
