2022 NBA Offseason thread

Flair was forced to retire in wwe, twice

He got to go out on his own terms.

I can’t hate too much on that

And he got to do it with his son in law

He looked.every bit like a 70 year old man with a pacemaker.

It was bloody and sad.

You are correct.

He deserves to go out the way he wants.

But, it felt like watching that movie , The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke, and I don't want to remember him like that.

Yeah I get it

To me, my best memories of flair are easy

1) his late 80s, early 90s feud with sting that culminated at great American bash 90 where jr accurately called it “the main who dominated the 80s against the man expected to dominate the 90s”

This match is such an underrated gem. Highly recommended

It was so fitting that these guys main evented the last Nitro ever as well


2) his time with the horsemen vs the nwo, especially war games 96


3) evolution had to get in here at some point

I guess he thought you didn't know even though you clearly said 15-1 which equals 16 lol

Takes 16 wins, not 16 games. They went 16-1.

The Golden State Warriors’ Record-Setting Postseason (Published 2017)

The Golden State Warriors began the postseason on April 16 and concluded it on June 12, and only once in that time did they make a false step.

Whooosh.

The league will react if it continues, guaranteed.

Knicks are now also under investigation.

Chris Haynes: The NBA has begun an investigation into the New York Knicks for alleged tampering regarding free agent pickup Jalen Brunson, sources inform @YahooSports.

For all those criticizing that Lebron hasn't been extended yet, the day that becomes possible is coming....

Anil Gogna: On Thursday, August 4th, LeBron James will officially become eligible to sign a 2-year $97.1M extension with the Los Angeles Lakers. He will be eligible to sign it any day until June 30, 2023. His 2 realistic options: – Don’t sign it & become a FA next summer – Sign a 1+1 (P/O)

Marc Stein: Sources briefed on the matter stress that LeBron James is extremely happy in Los Angeles despite the Lakers’ back-to-back rocky seasons. He and his family, by all accounts, have grown increasingly entrenched in Southern California since James signed with the Lakers in the summer of 2018.

Knicks are now also under investigation.

They probably did.

But again, so many personal relationships are involved in that, I'm curious how the NBA handles it.

The Sixers one seems much easier to prove.

Yet, Cavs fan insist he's going back to the Cavs.

I dont think anyone insisted this

 

[msgkings322]

Yet, Cavs fan insist he's going back to the Cavs.

No one insisted. And he still might. I suspect he will do a one and one with the Lakers so he has flexibility to play with Bronny in 2 years

Who did?

Bc we implied it was a possibility and then you got defensive bc you knew it was a possibility but refuse to believe it

Looks about right. I’d call Sixers Heat that next tier below Celtics Bucks. They’re interchangeable. The Nets are the group that could rise on this list if they can get KD Kyrie for a full season.

 

[The Q]

@Mecca

In no surprise, the trash bag king of Nepotism triple h and the trashy red head Becky lynch took cheap shots at Flair last night on raw during another awful Lynch promo (she's terrible on the mic and stole flair's IP)..

No surprise from either of them considering their track record

 

[fightinfunbags]

I also think the Pistons could mess around and get into the play in territory with the Cavs if the Pistons opt not to tank again. Cade really started to figure it out in the last two months of the season.

The deflection is strong among Cavs fans.

Your point? That wasn't part of the discussion whatsoever.

That's a mighty big IF
