2016 NBA Off-Season Thread

If you insist on keeping this nonsense going fine, you asked for it. You keep calling LeBron this & that yet he was never the center of r*pe allegations. Game over, shut up. For all the over-the-top jackass things LeBron has done during his career he never put himself in the situation Kobe did. Now stop this carp once & for all. I get it, you hate LeBron. Which is fine, I've considered him a jackass since he was in HS. I'm not much of a fan of his. I just don't carry around the dislike you have for him.

So why can't I dislike a player then? I've disliked plenty over the years. After lebron there's bound to be another one I consider a huge dick. I'm not allowed an opinion now? Stop taking this so personal.

To be fair, from what I've encountered most Lakers fans are to Kobe as I am to James.
Obviously they support him as a player on their team, but they know he's pretty much a jerk otherwise.

I have James over Kobe, but I'm not blind to people's opinions who see merit the other way.

Christ, don't say that to certain people though. Apparently lebron is the greatest

He's not even in my top 3 favourite LAKERS. But you just can't discredit what he did for the team over the years.

He's way up there and still going.
Hopefully his elevator gets stuck on floor 3.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

Dude, have you watched any Summer League?

Rosier looks outstanding.

Marcus Smart gonna lose some minutes.

I haven't seen any Celtics games because, well, they're the Celtics.

Hows this Jaylen Brown fella doing?

Got to do a lot more to pass Kareem, let alone Magic and Jordan. Top 5 is possible but probably only just

Pretty much the consenses.
@trojanfan12 has preached that forever.

I have read back a page to see what the hell you guys are debating.

I agree, Lebron has never done anything untoward, on or off the court, and he has been on the radar since High School.

That is hard to do in this day and age.

With that being said, there are several.guys on the Team that I root for that I don't like as a person.

Even before the hostage gate, I HATED Deandre Jordan and CP3 is a ASS.

But, I don't need to like them as people to respect what they have done on the court.

Hell, I knowingly rooted for, and attended games, for a Team that had one of the these most despicable human beings on the planet as the owner.

Yet somehow whenever I say something negative about lebron, these cleveland fanboys keep mentioning Kobe

He is very athletic.

But, he tried way to hard to upstage Simmons and got himself hurt.

 

[Black Adam]

Glad we crossed internet paths

Gotta admit, Mecca's been a great poster around here...even for a Clips fan...

That's always what young rookies try to do. They need to play their own game and the accolades will then eventually come. That's what I liked about Ingram yesterday, he didn't try to play hero ball even when they were up 20.

Hopefully there will be more of that to come in tonights game vs Simmons

Hey, I walk the yard on my own!

Ever since I left Lost Wages 5+ years ago I don't catch the summer league like I use to. Although I'm still frustrated that the Celtics got those picks for the trade to the Nets & seemingly didn't get much in return. I hope things work out but I'm not overly confident. Not a fan of the C's current roster & wanted them to draft Buddy Heild (spelling?).

Yeah, my husband is stupid for MMA.

So, we ordered the PPV.

Now, the fight he wanted to watch has been cancelled and he's all weepy.

I'm just gonna watch Summer League in the den instead...lol

Buddy didn't have the greatest of games yesterday though but the kid sure can shoot

Buddy looked like hot garbage yesterday.

But, he played with YMCA talent.

His shooting will improve when Teams have to double down on Davis in the paint.

What do you think about Horford?

Ps. I done think this is the Team you will field come regular Season.

Danny will make some trades.

He was like 5-19...

BRUTAL!

I knew he'd taken advice from Kobe but c'mon man, lol
