2022 NBA Offseason thread

He's gone.

Attach whatever you have to in order to make it happen.

Gotta say fuck the future and commit to Lebron's timeline.

If he ends up in LA-LA Land I'm totally sure the 4th time will be the charm for Kyrie. He'll become a true team player and not a me first pain in the ass.

Spoiler

just kidding

I got the Ogre if it gets physical.

My biggest problem with what Draymond said is that it's pretty much the equivalent of a non-black calling Perk the N-WORD.

Dumb ass Myers Leonard lost his job, and hasn't gotten another, for a similar slur.

But, like OJ, Watson, Tyson......

We look the other way when you are uber-talented or successful.

So, lets see if the NBA or Warriors chime in.

I don’t think it is that.

It is more that for right or wrong, American society tends to be okay with black on black directed slurs.

When Draymond says it, it is messed up, but hey. That is Draymond being Draymond.

If any white player said it, there would be consequences.

She broke Russian law.

It’s on camera.

It’s going to be really hard to deal with this diplomatically.

And it happened well before the Russia/Ukraine conflict.

What's on camera, them searching her?

Did we see them test the substance?

Because, there has been technology for decades that allows you to see if something is a controlled substance.

I've tested shit that looked like meth, crack or heroin and it was baby formula or some other crap.

Let's not pretend Russia hasn't falsely detained Americans before just because some don't like the fact that she kneeled.

Durant to portland

Come on nets

You know you want sharpe

What else would they trade?

KD and Lill is intriguing.

 

[DJ]

The Sharpe pick surprised me.

They already have Dame and Simons. They running all 3 at the same time?

Dude, I'm black.

If a black person calls me a coon, I'm gonna want to beat that ass just as much as a white calling me the N-word.

Next to calling my Mom/Daughters a bitch, whore ...

There is NOTHING more offensive that a black person can say to another one.

That's some fight on sight shit.

They don't have what it takes, it would have to be a 3 team trade.

They have nothing else. They are near the bottom of teams assets-wise

Just posted that for him.

I am not arguing with you on that.

Just saying that there isn’t going to be a consequence from the league or the Warriors.

 

[Retroram52]

Sign Basemore to a one-year deal and then trade his ass along with bone-bruise dude, Kendrick Nunn and a future Second round pick and bring in Headcase dude number 3 to officially make the Lakers "Headcase Central". Since the Lakers are the only team interested in Mr The-World-is-Flat, ten-to-one Team Rambi have their sticky fingers all over this one and it will happen.

Oh, I believe that.

But, there should be.

The NBA nor Clippers said a word when Trezl called Luka a bitch ass white boy.

When Kyrie tried to start a pillow fight because Shroeder, another black, called him the N-WORD.

It's a double standard and it shouldn't be.

Nobody should say those words.

But, it's a pipedream to ever believe those words will be eradicated if certain demographics can use them with impunity.

Yeah, I agree.

If nothing else, it sets a really poor example for young people when they see their heroes talking like that in public settings.

Hot button words will never be eradicated if certain demographics are allowed to use them with impunity.

I hear Latinos use the N-word just as much as blacks.

I have told her several times and she always goes with the one I didn't pick.

Years ago, I had a girlfriend who, when we were getting ready to go somewhere, would get completely dressed and ask ''How do I look'' I'd always say ''You look great''...at which point she would take everything off, put on something different and not ask what I thought. lol

 

[thunderc]

Serious question, how did Irving get to be Vice President of the players union? Did no one else want it? Does this affect his ability to take less money? Should the union want their reps to look a little better than this? Lots of questions.

[The Q]

I’d give up Herro.

I’d give up bam for Durant in theory. Although when you’re all in it’s hard moving those key pieces
