2018-2019 NBA Regular Season Thread

Noel has my vote for dumbest looking

He declined a 4 year 70M deal. Now he's playing for the minimum.

So I just got NBA 2K19...yeah I know a little late.

I got to the 2019 Cavs offseason and somehow the Mavs got the #1 overall pick...even though they had like a 5% chance but they passed on Zion and took Ja Morant @Mecca

I grabbed Zion for the Cavs with the #2 pick. Life is good in Cleveland. Can't wait to see him on the actual Cavs roster next season

That's crazy.

They didn't want DSJ with Luka. But, they picked JA?

Lol

 

[Shanemansj13]

Doncic, Zion and Porzingis would be sick

Rich failed both Noel and KCP.

But, at least he got KCP 32 mil over the last 2.

 

[LAD]

Press Secretary.

No more public statements, unless preprepared.

Seriously. He is terrible. I used to think LBJ was bad, but Magic is by far worse!

Lol

Yeah I have no clue. Made zero sense lol.

And KD went to the Pacers. I offered him $5M more a year and he fucking went to the damn Pacers. What a crock of shit LOL

.....and, if this is true, it's not hard to understand why NOLA passed on the Kiddie Corps.

Strong arm tactics, Big Bullshit Brand nonsense aside....

Nothing like wanting a player who wants you back.

IF this is true.

Tatum also said "hey I'd trade me for Anthony Davis too" LOL

Dude thought he was worth 100+ mil max contract. Can't possibly be that dumb. I dont care what the agent told him

Always take the first big contract. Always. Make sure you're set for life, then worry about making that money up later.

When your own Daddy admits he'd do that deal too, you gotta just be a man about it....lol

[True Lakers Fan]

If the Pelicans demanded more, they negotiated. If they demanded more just hoping that the Lakers would go away, they didn't negotiate in good faith.

It will be interesting to say the least. Most of the media seems split.

Some say, it was the right move and that the Pels will get more in the summer.

Some say, they will regret it because the offers aren't going to be as good if AD is as dead set on the Lakers as he seems to be.

I believe it was the right move for the Pelicans - the quantity offered by the Lakers does not necessarily mean they would improve, so what they need is a player that can come as close to replacing AD as possible. I like Kyle Kuzma and would love to keep him, but he obviously doesn't come close to that as of right now and neither does Ingram or Lonzo Ball. I the very best they need another year to grow up and maybe they become all stars and maybe not. I don't believe the Pelicans negotiated in faith and I seriously doubt that they had any intentions whatsoever of accepting any offer - if you call that negotiating that's fine, but I don't think they were serious

Stupid Fuck....

There's not a whole lot you can't do for 70M that you could do with 100M.

On the other hand there's significantly more you could do with 70M rather than 4.1M Q/O, then a subsequent minimum deal.

He is at 20M earned for his career currently lmao

Nerlens Noel

Nerlens Noel

And nearly 75% of that was from his rookie deal. I know (well hopefully know) he's not exactly struggling making 20M in his career, but damn...

With that Rookie deal, he's looking at more along the lines of a total career income with his contract at around 85M. Holy hell that's a huge difference.

If you need a good laugh

Report: Multiple teams willing to offer Nerlens Noel max contract

Tried the new plant protein burger at Carl's Jr @trojanfan12......thought I might chuck it into the trash but I finished it. Not too bad at all.

Report: Multiple teams willing to offer Nerlens Noel max contract

He averaged 8.5 pts, 6.8 rebs and 1.1 blocks in 22 minutes for Dallas and they were willing to give him 17M+ a year for 4 seasons? And he didn't sign immediately? Maaaaaan
