It's just how Philadelphia fans are.

I mean, they boo'd Santa Claus ffs.

Who the hell boo's Santa?

lol

Yeah their fans can be mean/crazy @ times. Which makes the slogan the city of brotherly love funny.

That is not possible,

Because I assume you have seen all of your own posts.

So you really think steal rate in a short series matters?

 

[Wamu]

So you really think

I try not to on Saturdays.

 

[dtgold88]

If you can find anything saying the Lakers never talked to them post it. Otherwise, you are speculating just like everyone else.

But everyone else is speculating as well that MAYBE LA did talk to them.

Who? All I've said is that we don't know and that there are reasons for some 1 year guys to not have wanted to go to the Lakers.

Some folks act like this is a fantasy league and FA's don't have choices.

 

[dtgold88]

Guess Lebron found that out. lol

He found out his last team knew how to build around him. His current one didn't.....at least not yet.

 

[Wamu]

Who you ask? Well that's easy. Unnamed sources!

 

[dtgold88]

Who has refuted it? All that has been suggested is that we don't know who the Lakers talked to and who they didn't. That also, cannot really be refuted.

But you are "suggesting". I am going by what we know.

 

[dtgold88]

Again, we don't know who they talked to. But, yeah it could be hard for them to earn minutes if they aren't in the plan going forward. If you're the coach and you have a guy who is likely to be around for years and a guy who is just there as a salary cap placeholder...your playing the guy who's going to be there.

Are Parker and Green in their team's plans moving forward?

 

[trojanfan12]

He found out his last team knew how to build around him. His current one didn't.....at least not yet.

He found out that the West is a tougher road to the playoffs.

He knew his current team wasn't going to be putting a contender around him this season.

If you "know" that the Lakers didn't talk to some of the guys that have been listed...post your link.

Which is why I'm going by what we DO know.

I didn't expect the Lakers to make the playoffs this year anyway. I had them getting 46 W's this year. Doubt they win that many now though. But last year 46 W's wasn't enough to make the playoffs in the WC.

Anyone that doesn't understand LeBron going to LA-LA Land isn't about this year is just being stubborn.

OKC's George rips refs: 'It's getting out of hand'

I'll say it for the 20th time.
After 5 fouls it should be 2 shots and the ball.
Players should never be disqualified from the game unless it's from the result of technicals.

His "current team" is LA.

But I get you meant the Cavs. That would be the team that went to the Finals last year and the previous 3 before that one?

 

[Wamu]

If you "know" that the Lakers didn't talk to some of the guys that have been listed...post your link.

I know I'm thirsty.

I know they didn't sign them and did not put the right pieces around Lebron. How about you post something to the contrary since you want to debate this.

I expected them to get to the playoffs if Lebron stayed healthy. He didn't.

I had a 2nd round exit as their ceiling.

But yeah, it's mainly butthurt Cavs fans that are trying to pretend they were supposed to be contenders this year.

Don't forget about all the LeBron Haters out there. They should be mentioned as well.

Anyone who thinks 34-35 year old Lebron knew he was punting a season could also be called stubborn.

Did he think they were a title favorite? Doubt it. But I doubt Lebron saw himself wondering if he'd show up on the TNT set for round 1 if he wanted.
