Really really simple question. Why is he getting the calls? Does the league want to help a small market? Really really stupid conversation honestly.
No, the league wanted to move a team to the middle of nowhere in some state no one cares or talks about and then not help them.

Just go away, you bring nothing to the conversation

I think there's a word for that? Soft, lol.
think there are more words.....fake athletes should not try and guess how hurt real athletes might be having never examined or even spoken to them.

Also, it's usually the docs who make the call.

I don't know why the Spurs would want that contract. I would rather pick at #2 (or hunt for a trade for a younger guard that hasn't reached that salary level yet).
Yeah my comment was with not knowing much about the potential draftees (beyond Flagg). Does seem like some potential stars they could take at 2 so seems that deal should be a no for them.

It's fine if they feel they can't play through the injury, but they have to know that opens them up for criticism. Especially when you have teammates playing through their injuries.
It's almost like it's because every injury can be different. I mean, Garland was still hurt and had off the court issues but continued to play throughout playoffs last year. Mitchell sat out the last 2 games with ailments others have played through in past (of course, that's without knowing how hurt any player is but guessing for a narrative like you are).

Likely Giannis, Lillard, Curry, OG, Butler, Haliburton, Divincenzo and the many others who sat out playoff games this year and last had teammates who were hurt but played.

All soft?

You do understand that "I'm sure the Lakers have talked to him" does not mean the Lakers have talked to him, right?

I wouldn't expect Lopez to be at the top of their wishlist of bigs.

I expect they'll be more interested in Claxton or one the Mavs bigs. They want a lob partner for Luka.
Totally agree.......though wouldn't surprise me if they have. same as other teams with their own potential targets.

lol , you accused me of makin claims/predictions both ways so I could never be wrong…

Ya posted ya didn’t think OKC had the PS experience to win it all

Forget the irony let’s talk about hypocrisy


And you’ll probably be wrong again when the East takes it as I predicted. lol
fell like it says more of you than anyone when you need to lie to try and support your agenda. Is this an MJ ball licker club requirement?

Oh yeah, no doubt there are back channel shenanigans going on all over the league right now.

Set a all time record in round 1 and lost in round 2 with some injuries....but sure. You knew.
Playing too hard during the regular season and running out of gas. Easy to see.

I like playing hard, but the season is too stupidly long for that.

Read the room, it was a joke.

However, you're stepping into a certain Knicks fan's territory with "only real athletes would understand" bs.

How's greedy doing
working for a large firm and pretending to be sick a lot :noidea:

sorry, my friend....you can point out the guy was a pretty bad player and never lived up to where picked. Also hurt a lot. But faked injuries (and fooled even the docs) is kooky talk and I think you know it.

Dewanna Bonner now has the third most points in WNBA history. I haven't paid attention to that league in several years; I was astounded to learn that.

playing too hard in reg. season? They drastically cut down the minutes/game for the starters and with #1pretty much locked up early were able to sit guys last few weeks.
