2016-17 NBA Regular Season Thread

Yep and to KD's credit he stayed in OKC longer than LBJ stayed in Cle the first time.

These guys both followed the money trail.

 

[GNG]

They got Wendy's in Ohio? There's an outside chance that at some point in the future I could find myself living in Chillicothe. Hope they have Wendy's there. I don't remember if they had one or not from the last time I was there. I do remember that they had a White Castle, which you can't get out here unless it's the freezer section of the grocery store.

In-N-Out burgers are very good.

Um no. OKC was able to offer KD the most money if he resigned.

How Kevin Durant could make an extra $100 million

 

[trojanfan12]

Sure it does, though imo to a lesser extent. See my response to lad

I don't see how it diminishes to a lesser extent. If he only did it once, then maybe. But he did it twice. That diminishes him at least as much as KD. Certainly not less.

Miami fucking up the Hawks right now going for 9 straight. Fuck it. Looks like we're saying fuck the lottery. Let's ride on the league. We coming for you Cavs!

I'm in the minority and most of my friends think there's something wrong with me for this, but I find In n Out burgers to be overrated. I mean, they're good. But not good enough to justify the line you have to wait in to get them.

He could've done the same deal with OKC which is what we've seen LBJ do. How does that equate to him chasing money?

It diminishes LBJ more having done it twice IMO.

Yes. Thank you.

Why should making more money diminish anyone?

I think they're very good but will concede that some folks don't agree.

We weren't talking about making more money. We were talking about teaming up with All Stars & winning titles after having done so.

 

[GNG]

Whatever.

 

[LAD]

Whatever.

You were quoting on two different conversations we were having.

I don't know about more. There is some validity to the point that when he went back to Cleveland he was joining all stars that hadn't been to the playoffs. There isn't near as much validity as some Cavs fans want to claim, but there is some. When he went to Miami, he joined a team that had at least a couple of players who had won a title. So it kind of washes out for me.

At this point, I'd say it diminishes both about the same.

 

[LAD]

Oh no the Mavs done messed around & caught up to the Sixers....

McMenamin: LeBron vs Charles Barkley
ESPN Cavaliers Insider Dave McMenamin talks with Steve Mason and John Ireland about LeBron's rant about Charles Barkley and if Lou Williams is a good fit in Cleveland.


give the Lakers Felder + assets for Lou? Id be down with that!!!

ehhhhh...

 

[lebron23james]

But Lebron's legacy isn't diminished for doing the same thing...twice (so far)?

I think it's validated it

The 2 things people always said about Lebron was he could only with wade, sorta like Kobe with the shaq argument

Well he went back and won without him, same will be said "if" Durant wins...Durant has a lot more to lose if he doesn't win
