If CP wants out of Phoenix.....I'd settle for trading RW, a 1st rounder, a 1st round pick swap and a 2nd rounder for CP, Crowder, and Craig.

Gives us a PG in CP, another dog in Crowder and a few wings with him and Craig.

If they absolutely pushed for both 1st rounders. I might do it but IDK.....CP is the only one under contract beyond this coming season.
What have we learned about Dudes with multiple years on their deal trying to force their way out?

He has 3 years left, he's older and chronically broken.

Even with the Sarver stuff, he has little leverage after signing that extension.

Plus, his statement gave no indication that he is even considering it.

It was pretty weak in comparison to Lebron's.

Lebron saying there was no place for himself in the league was fantastic

I know but he went through that stuff with Sterling.....wouldn't surprise me if he didn't want to be there. Realize that with the extension.

Just brainstorming.....LOL.

I actually like LeBron and his social justice stances usually don't bother me.

But, he most definitely has selective outrage.

Kanter is a fucking moron.

But, he's right about LeBron being a hypocrite when it comes to China.

Lebron is flat out racist

Period. Full stop.

The China thing is just one blatantly uneducated take. Bron has plenty of those.

He’s said multiple times that he doesn’t like whites people

Brainstorming = :hope:

Utah or Bust.

The Knicks have to be any team with a available stars first call.

:puzzled:

Elaborate...

Are you referring to the " I used to hate white people " statement on the shop?

Yeah, so LeBron has said some dumb shit.

But, you are aggregating his comments to fit a narrative..

....or wherever you are getting your news from is.

Perception is reality.

His comments in context.....



"I went to an all-white Catholic high school. So, when I first went to the ninth grade in high school, I was also like, I'm not ****ing with white people. I was so institutionalized growing up in the hood, it was like, 'they don't ***k with us, they don't want us to succeed," James told a group of men that included comedian and producer Jon Stewart.

But James' feelings about his white classmates soon changed, according to business partner Maverick Carter, who was also featured on the episode.

"Sport and basketball, it's the most unifying thing. By the end of the year, all of us were best friends. Our black friends from the hood was coming (to play), his white friends ... and we were just all having a ****ing great time," Carter said.

In light of the full context, James' original comments were misconstrued.

Do you have a link?

I googled and all I can find is articles talking about the quote that was mentioned here and talking about how it was taken out of context. In one of the articles it showed the original tweet and then showed the actual full quote.

It showed how he was talking about his mindset as a 14 year old high school freshman who was going to an all white Catholic high school.

It is typical shit.

This is part of why our country is falling apart.

News outlets with an agenda spin whatever they want to fit their narrative by taking stuff out of context, and people like Q believe it like it is gospel truth.

Makes me sad to see it.
