Go and read my post again especially the first 3 words

the facepalm was for myself.

I don't see the Lakers beating the Celtics tomorrow. Not in Boston!

So i'll say this in advance: F.U @Wamu

Well, I think the Lakers will win it tomorrow in Boston. It will be close and may go into OT but I think the Lakers will prevail.

Stephen A spoke about it. It was about Bronny.

Keep his name out of your mouth. Won't hear much about him anymore

If true that’s Some bullshit right there

I hope so! They've got the confidence and chemistry to definitely do it but the streak has to come to an end eventually.

If you mean BS by Lebron I agree.......Bronny a story and worth talking about so should be free to talk about him.

 

[shopson67]

was it fair...uh....shitting or out of line?

It was something about calling for Lebron to step in and end "this nonsense" after he had a bad outing vs the Sixers.

The Bronny narrative has never been fair to the player. Drafted 55th yet the media (and Lebron haters) criticize every move made.

Celtics resting their players in advance of the game. We'll see how it goes, went pretty well the last time!

Cannot say I have heard a lot about the guy but agree IF all or even most of the talk is critical that's not fair to the kid.

He’s a basketball player, LeBron is wrong

think most everyone suspects a little something but if the league doesn’t care whatever

Nico should go ahead and retire, because there's nothing he can do the rest of his career that will elevate him past dumbest MF in the league. Trade a guy that lead your team to the NBA Finals last season, averaged 34 ppg and led the the league in minutes because he doesn't have a 6 pack. Nice

This has probably been mentioned by why do people think this is Nico’s fault and not forced on him by the owners who didn’t want to give Luka a supermax?

Russell Westbrook continues to give back to OKC. Just spent 10 million helping build a pro soccer stadium.

Oklahoma City’s fanbase is fired up over the new iteration of Thunder basketball. The city became connected to this team through a rebuild and watched them grow

Russ is a class act

He can be, especially on stuff like this

Nico had personal issues with Luka bud. Promise you. Secondly, if it were all on the owners wanting to get rid of him, he's still a stupid fuck. Just tell the owners the massive shitstorm they face no matter who they trade this guy for, but at least if they go out and get a young star, a role player, and 4-5 draft picks, they at least still have some hope. You can't trade him for an older, injury prone big man, even one like AD

I don’t think this was Nico’s fault.

I think it was what ownership wanted.

I also believe Nico has no chance at another GM job once he inevitably gets fired. Maybe not even another NBA job.

Whether they had personal issues or not...it was ownership that pushed this and wanted it done the way it was done. There is no way that Nico just decided "Fuck Luka, I hate him and I'm moving him" and then just made the trade. That would be career suicide.

We don't know what was said or if Nico tried to tell them what they were going to face if they did trade him. Based on what has come out though...this looks like it's on ownership and Nico has been the "fall guy".

Basically saying he sucked in college so he will become nothing and he is a scrub. In simple terms. The kid is young and playing in G-league. Constant hate on him by ESPN as a whole. It really isn't fair to him.
Yes Lebron praised his son in the past but isn't that what fathers do. I mean we know Lebron exaggerates at times but still
