I'm done with George and don't want him back at this point

[shopson67]

Cry me a fucking river. If I made these antics toward my job as George has, my ass would be fired.

You would be fired if you gave your notice that you were leaving for another job?

So much for winning, though. Enjoy getting swept by Golden State in the first round every year.

Different from getting swept by the Cavs in the first round how?

If it was for a competitor, most likely.

We can offer him more money and have been grateful enough toward him to draft him and support him through his catastrophic injury.

The only person crying is you because George wants the hell outta Indiana. Better get yourself a box of tissues to wipe away your tears.

No such thing as a non-compete clause in the NBA.

So, money is supposed to be all that matters, since happiness and winning aren't going to happen in Indiana for him?

Tell me what the Lakers have done the last five years.

Nothing.

But, you can't compare LA to Indianapolis. Just not a level playing field.

When players are FAs, they have the right to choose where they go. It is the entire point Of free agency. It is fair to hope that your guy returns, but unrealistic to expect him to when Indiana is your squad. There are many cities that make more attractive destinations for players.

When Lonzo gets drafted Thursday Lavar will walk up on stage & thank himself.

We've provided him hospitality. We've provided him support during his lean times. If he's not happy, shame on him.

And your opinion makes an asshole.

About as much as the Pacers have in their existence. Zero titles.

Since when does market size relevant to what takes place on the basketball court? Seeing you don't even have a favorite NBA team in your profile, you're a nobody on this board. Just another asshole players fan.

Basketball is a team sport, and Paul George is not a team player.

Exactly. Dude doesn't have a job. Besides, he knows if he put his two weeks notice from clipping his mom's toe nails every week, she'd kick his oil ass out of the basement onto the streets.

This is why I despise you. You refuse to listen to logic and reason. You show your true colors when things don't turn out the way you want. I've never wished harm on Lebron, even though he screwed my team over in the end. At least George's exodus will be different from Lebron and KD's - your team will get something back in return.

Showing a player hospitality? What did you do exactly? Cheer for him? Congrats.

I do have a job. I'm grateful to be employed.

Paul George is not.

Because he doesn't want to play in Indiana anymore? I've grown tired of jobs where I needed to move on? You know what I did? Interviewed for other jobs then put in my two weeks notice and left. As usual, you're being irrational and have the maturity of a high school girl. Everyone thinks you're a joke.

 

[shopson67]

I understand the hatred for an outgoing player, but it's not worth hanging on to. I will forever call Dwight Howard "clown shoes" though, lol.

Again.

You are trying to make this personal. Everyone here knows who my favorite team is and it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out based on the logos I do have up.

Bottom line, you are showing your true colors for all to see with your posts on this thread. It ain't pretty.

As to your question, market size is totally relevant. There are certain markets players like being in. Indiana isn't one. If the team is able to build a legit contender, (like SA or Cleveland) then what the group accomplishes on the court does matter and can take priority over an attractive market. But, Indiana is nowhere close to that level and any rational fan is able to see that.
