2022 NBA Offseason thread

Parts of the Carolinas are in some really pretty mountains and valleys. Living in the mountains makes for milder summers.

Yeah, the little town they live in is in the mountains. Their property backs up to a river so they just have to walk across the backyard to go fishing.

Some good friends moved to North Carolina a few years back. They love it.

Just don't try the Outer Banks, they'll be underwater soon enough. I'd stay relatively close to the cities as well (dueling banjos playing in the distance)

Low taxes. Low cost of living. Mild winters. I would imagine summers are hot but nothing like Arizona Vegas Florida Texas etc…

Pacific Northwest is nice if you don't mind rain. Cost of living probably a bit higher though.

My family used to go to Outer Banks every summer as a kid. Cool area with the sand dunes.

Parking on the street isn't necessarily better. Plows will dump a glacier on top of your car.

True. I meant more just having a small driveway for shoveling vs these long giant ones.

Plus. No hills cause they can be icy

Not sure who this guy is but he says the whole city of Vegas knows and multiple NBA teams are saying the same thing

Yeah, I saw a few folks saying that yesterday. The most credible one I saw was Windy who was saying he thinks it will happen ''sooner or later''.

 

[Wamu]

Absolutely, doesn’t mean he was the most explosive player ever

You think Ja could beat MJ 1-on-1. I don't. We're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one. It's not like MJ was some kinda slouch on the defensive end.

Absolute joke is what it is.

 

[Wamu]

Luckily for Ja, there's no way to disprove him, even if everyone else (and probably himself) knows that MJ would've eaten his heart.

Lavar Ball also said he would have beaten MJ in a game.

But you're right that MJ would've eaten Ja's heart.

 

[Wamu]

Absolute joke is what it is.

Yeah there are just some players current players should never call out. MJ's probably at the top of that list. Think it was @Mecca that posted a short clip yesterday of Nikola Jokic saying he would have beaten Shaq.

Jokic is damn good and has a skill set Shaq didn't have. But Shaq was a beast and would destroyed Jokic in the low post.

Where did I ever say he could beat him? I was replying to Stakes regarding explosiveness

Yeah you never said anything like that. One can think a player is more explosive than MJ but would still lose to him. More explosive doesn't automatically mean a W

 

[Shanemansj13]

There was a rookie that called out Lebron. That is way different though, Ja is a superstar in this league already. He's no short of confidence.

MJ might be the best ever but I can name better 1-on-1 players...doesn't mean Ja would beat him 1-on-1 but it isn't crazy a player COULD have beat MJ 1-on-1.

Ooppss, my bad on that. I missed Stakes comment and misunderstood what you were saying.

KD would give MJ the work and Giannis would as well. I think a lot of the top guys today can. They have the length to give him trouble offensively

A lot of folks say KD would beat MJ 1 on 1.

Shouldn't this be about MJ facing other guards and not small forwards?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Better than LA is faint praise, though lol.

People can take all their criticism about Los Angeles and shove it straight up their asshole.

 

[Shanemansj13]

A lot of folks say KD would beat MJ 1 on 1.

KD and Kyrie imo are probably two guys that could beat anyone 1-on-1 especially KD imo. Not surprised. Didn't KD put up like 70 in Rucker Park? lol
