  1. Yikes..... Remember that good pass rush from last year? Yea, it may be going up in smoke. Generally, you don't offer a guy a pay cut unless the other option is to be cut outright. So..... Amare going to be cut and DLaw. I'm going to guess the play is sign Gallup (who they're already engaged with) and Gregory (who has had two good half seasons). If we're doing this so we can give a fucking TE 13m and a replaceable safety like 8m, someone should just burn Jerry world to the ground. Light it up.
  2. Thank you for supporting my argument. See, even an unabashed fan of the franchise understands. When a franchise is good, almost any market can support a winner. Its the rebuild or wandering the desert years where a market sees if they can sustain needed attention. OKC is bottom 5 in overall attendance. They're bottom 5-6 in overall estimated valuations..... falling 5-6 spots since 2019. With a small international fandom now that KD is gone, OKC needs a transcendent star..... like most small market teams. Milwaukee has a huge international following right now and it's not because folks are obsessed with cheeseheads. OKC keeps falling in attendance and value until they can start winning again and they'll never break into the big boys until they can get a global brand star like KD. Good news is those guys come around every couple of decades. If they keep fumbling about, they'll be prime for relocation rumors for awhile. I'll say one place the Thunder are good at..... social media rankings. They're top 10 or some shit. Analysts are split on if this means anything to the bottom line though.
  3. Probably because it's undeserving of a pro sports market. I don't mean that from a political or social aspect but from a business one. It simply doesn't have the economical foundations to support a sports franchise through a pro-longed era of terribleness, especially as a transplant. Probably be better as a G-league site.
  4. Your opinion is abysmal. Keep drinking. Stop posting. Good Luck.
  5. We should, but he may have just priced himself out of our draft position...... Impressive showing from a such a big man.
  6. If we had that line the whole season, then it would be very good. Problem is Tyron only played 11 games and left early in 2 others. He basically played half a season. Connor's penalties got him benched for a kid who wasn't as good. La'el missed 4 games and was a backup for 2. That's a pretty misleading ranking. Also, as we talked all season, our TE and WR blocking sucked. The OL isn't dog shit at all, but it's also not that dominant group we saw several years ago. Tyron has missed 20 games in the last 2 seasons and left early in 3-4 others. Zack is still a rock but we had issues everywhere else at times. I think Collins is better than average bet to bounce back a little next year but we need another LT and interior lineman of starting caliber. If they are on the roster through development, or in FA, or the draft, then cool, but it's a group who is in decline. Then add Zeke ripped his knee after 5 games, Pollard was playing with a really painful injury the last quarter of the season and playoffs and our run game was is disarray headed to the playoffs.
  7. Not many here don't recognize that Lebron is a top 5 player of all-time. In many ways, he's the first Social Media Era Basketball Icon. A new world type of personality who's focus on brand distracts from his on court accomplishments. Additionally, the self-aggrandizing and lack of accountability are oft-putting to a lot of folks. As a basketball player (whining and flopping aside), he's sublime and the best pure talent since MJ.
  8. I mean at his size and without many games played at the HS level, he probably isn't "NBA ready". He probably belongs in the G league unless he hits a growth spurt and/or his game improves. He may need both. Lebron's entitlement is so fucking pronounced. That's why I think in 3 years, if Lebron wants to play with Bronny, then maybe Minnesota or Sacramento or Orlando will have them. Just be a side show circus. Now if Bronny can contribute and earns his way onto a team and into a rotation, then good for him.... but how's he ever gonna know? This ain't the Griffey's. Here Lebron, want to play with Bronny...... bundle up, here's your team.
  9. I think they could play themselves into the play-in, but doubt they get much farther. Yo.... young dudes. Settle. Or we'll bring this guy back.
  10. Ha. Doesn't have to play 60 though and on a minimum, it's an easy add....... Phoenix should have looked to snap him up to help with the Chris Paul injury.
  11. Tricky Jack Haley always gonna be a Net. You love you some Patty Thrills!
  12. Timmah looking like he's ready for that reggae band stint.... #Patty4life....... Take that Kerm. Patty will always be a Spur.
  13. Like top 75 NBA player of all-time?
  14. Woman was all excited to see this after reading the article on Anna. Making me watch this disaster. It's sort of one of those, everyone is horrible so you don't really care who she hurts or doesn't. It's all the worst part of America's class system and making a movie about an imposter who lies, cheats, and steals to galavant around with these vapid people is even more silly. Garner does a good job in inhabiting the role, but it's all about bad people behaving badly in the most boring of ways.... Even the woman admits it's not that great but she's pot committed.
  15. Probably a HAS. 4-6 weeks normally. For AD? Probably be back next Thanksgiving.
  16. By player, it's probably a wash or actually improvement. Levert's just a dude and Curry probably means more to the Nets as currently constructed. Allen's a loss but Drummond is an pretty decent big. I'd much rather have Allen who doesn't need the ball to impact the game but he's also making 20m vs 2m. However, it's all the picks and pick swaps they gave up which doesn't allow them to acquire other pieces. This is a great example of teams not telling their foundational star, no. KD wanted Harden and as fantastic as Harden is on the offensive end, he requires a narrow system of ISO ball to really be an offensive God. Philly now inherits this issue. If you don't or won't play in a more free flowing and movement based system for KD because you want to dribble the ball for 15 seconds then what the fuck is Embiid going to do with him? No idea and maybe Doc can scheme better and get more buy in from James than Nash did. I'm sure the Kyrie side show didn't help, but I'll say this..... understanding sunk cost, the Nets did okay with unloading him. They probably are a better team if Covid wasn't a concern..... alas, it is.
  17. Yikes. Getting Walton or Sam Bowie concerns.
  18. Jerrah paying off the cheerleaders and then trying to bury is so on brand, considering he probably wouldn't survive in the #metoo era if he was in his lecherous prime. Now that it's out, Dalrymple will probably be given his golden parachute and enjoy a soft landing retirement and this will leave the media cycle without any systemic change. Maybe he's guilty, maybe he's not, but the taking upskirt photos of Jerrah's adult daughter is very weird to just shrug off. And it's shit like this is why the owners haven't forced Danny S to sell. They're all scared they have this issue or have already had it. Maybe we get lucky and Jerrah can't bear the strain....
  19. Nothing. Take the ass pounding and shine their asterisk’d bubble trophy. They’re fucked next year too. Russ was a Hail Mary. It failed. I’d probably sell him on moving to the bench. If he won’t go then, oh well. They could stretch him in the offseason but even that won’t help much with their cap. They actually should think about blowing it up in the offseason but won’t.
  20. Harden also was injured some this season. Statistically it’s his worst season since he broke out at 22. If he can’t jump into people and create fouls and can’t dominate the ball, then it will be interesting to see how good he can be. He’s still very good offensively but can he push into elite status in his new environment? 🤷🏽‍♂️
