2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

lol...could u imagine that? LeBron "Dan- why didnt you spend the midlevel exception?"--- "we couldnt find anyone willing to take 3.5M dollars that was any good"----


you brag about being able to find players- and then say you couldnt find one with a 3.5M player exception to come play in Miami?

LOL

DeMarre Carroll is just one example of a guy that was avalaible that offseason- the PERFECT type of wing player that could have been useful of the bench and spelled lebron at times.

but keep being in denial

i cant believe you would actually make that argument. Its beyond stupid.


its cool guys- I get it--- Arison wasnt/isnt willing to spend on a level Dan Gilbert is. Does anyone actually want to argue that and embarrass themselves? because thats what would happen. Thats not just me saying it--- thats cold hard fact backed up by numbers.

Yet, Lebron never bitched publicly about Arison where he has with Dan Gilbert. Not only is it documented, it's literally aired out in public. But keep doing you.

Carroll was a complete unknown until he got to Atlanta, which he was signed in August of 2013 (Lebron's final year in Miami).

DeMarre Carroll - Wikipedia

So your notion that the Heat could've used the MLE on Carroll is moot. Because he wasn't even available and no one knew how good he was going to be. Hindsight, which is something else you don't get.

Here's what we do know? Lebron's bitching about not having a backup PG, but they just let Delly go who you kept bragging about until he went to the Bucks. Dan could've went further into the luxury tax threshold to sign him (and we're fully aware that it would've cost him a lot).

Ah......okay makes sense now.

It's Lebron's fault....lol

Really, Cavs fans?

Throwing batteries?

Really?

And to help further educate himself on the hostile treatment he might receive once he takes the court, Durant recently reached out to Rich Paul, the agent for LeBron James, league sources told ESPN.

James and Paul know firsthand what it's like to walk into a sold-out arena filled with jilted fans.

In the conversation, as relayed to ESPN, Paul stressed to Durant the importance of hiring additional security staff, keeping his emotions in check, monitoring his family's whereabouts, moving precisely in the arena and not reacting to insults. Paul also reminded him to show his appreciation to the city and organization and reminded him that as long as he's happy with his decision, he doesn't owe anybody anything.

Memphis Grizzlies coach David Fizdale was an assistant with the Miami Heat when James went back to Cleveland for his first game as a South Beach resident.

He said he doesn't think Durant's situation will be as bad as James had it.

"I remember coaching LeBron during a dead ball this close to each other and a battery flew between us," Fizdale told ESPN. "A nine-volt, and hit the floor. It was crazy. I don't think his situation is as volatile as that. And I think OKC fans, they're upset about it, but they got like a college fan base. They're just there to root their team on and really support their team. He's going to get booed, of course, but I don't think it will be as volatile."

For those curious about Korver’s salary (and taxes that will come out of owner Dan Gilbert’s pocket): In the final year of his contract, the Cavaliers will only have to pay him $2.98 million the rest of the season. So, after trading Dunleavy, the Cavs will actually save money and free a roster space. Not a bad deal.

Apparently you never went to a Browns game and old Muncipal against the Steelers. If Energizer needed a spike in their stock price they should set up a few stands from Sunday at 8 am around the stadium. lol

this will be CAKE for Durant, compared to the environment Bron walked into that night.

Which really made it even funnier to destroy them the entire game, and send the trailer trash home by halftime.

Wow.....he can reasonably accept Wojo's word as gospel.

He obliterated James Dolan.

Yahoo!’s Adrian Wojnarowski released an essay on The Vertical Twitter last night that destroys Dolan, painting the ultimate picture of the Knicks owner as an incompetent and undeserving owner. “Dolan has terrible judgement in people and gets easily manipulated. His instincts are horrible. His circle of advisers as rudderless as Dolan himself. Mostly Jim Dolan is surrounded with sycophants and henchmen who help him carry out his petty grudges and person feuds. Forever feeding his bottomless pit of paranoia.”

[Black Adam]

But the Heat are apparently a shit organization.

well, Pat Riley's losing it and Arison's cheap...

I have this info from reliable sources, y'know. oh and Turnup, who would YOU rather have on your basketball team...?

 

[Black Adam]

Apparently. Who cares that he has a total of 10 championships as a player, asst. coach, HC, and exec.?

bah, you think any o' that shit counts? whatever you're smoking you need to share it with everyone else...

 

[Black Adam]

Anyone else hope Westbrook rubs his nads all up in Zsa Zsa's grill today?

He did promise to get his ass back...lol

I'm not 100 percent on this, but i'm fairly certain tea-bagging is against league rules...

Raiders fans did it a time two vs. the Broncos. it was "retaliation" for getting snowballs pitched at their players(not a lotta snow in Oaktown, y'know)...

The question MUST be asked, were YOU at this game, Mecca...?

Hopefully it wasn't a used one...

I'll say it to this day. Lebron's a better man than me. That city trashed him and his family's name, cheered and threw a parade when he lost to the Mavs, and even made a book called the Whore of Akron. I would've told that city to fuck off and never look back while I continue to win titles in other cities not named Cleveland.

Oops, I'm sorry. Cleveland has the best fans in the world and they deserve a title. That better?
