But maybe the re-education camps aren’t that bad?   Millions of Chinese go there every year.  They can’t all be wrong.  

[hobbes2702 13045]

Don’t you support the camps that we currently have at the border? Also can you not infest the basketball main board.

[pwinger 35]

Just take the loss pussy.

How do you feel about our own detention camps? Or does that not bother you

Wiggins is absolutely right.  The number is more like 300.

Yeah, I can say it.    I was WAY off with him.   All the physical tools.   None of the "want to" or even "how to"

Don’t care.  Got max contract.

This is the right answer.  

Still the same player he was at KU.  Absolutely no improvement to his game.

It could very well be a direct quote from him.

The Chinese government made a request that the NBA fire the Rocket's GM over pro Hong Kong tweets. I feel the Chinese government should shut the fuck up and keep their noses out of American affairs, especially fucking sports of all things. LeBron is a dip shit, all he cares about is fattening his pocket book, what a fucking sell out. It would make my day to see the Lakers miss the playoffs entirely once again and continue to flounder near the bottom of the West.

I get that sentiment.  I'm afraid that won't happen.

Just like it wasn't going to happen in 2018-19 and the 2012-13 Lakers were supposed to be destined for big things too, eh? How'd that work out?

Yea the Lakers aren’t missing the playoffs 

[BradInATX 9208]

Man, I've always been mostly a fan of LeBron and found myself defending him in conversations where people were throwing shade at him. But the way he's handled this has been classless and atrocious. What a chump.

My absolute nightmare scenario now, is an LA/LA Western Conference Finals where I'm forced to root for (fuck) Kawhi Leonard to win. Thanks a lot, LeBron.

Must have not felt that insulted..... They built in incentives.

 

[Patrick Bateman 3917]

Wow!  That's pricey if all guaranteed.

 

[d2o 1602]

I'm not going to begrudge the player because if the owners are willing to pay it then they can afford it but wow they must really be expecting big things from him.   That is a lot of cheddar for a guy that is at best 4th in the order.

[BigOrange1 6442]

in addition to hield and brown, sabonis and dejounte murray have also agreed to 4 year extensions. 

[BigOrange1 6442]

and zion is out 6-8 weeks.

[MNLonghornFUKM 8817]

and zion is out 6-8 weeks.

Hope this doesnt snowball into lower body injuries. I have my reserves on here about him, but i hope im wrong going off the likeness factor alone.

It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if he retired once his contract is up. Even going back to his time at KU you could see that he doesn’t really love the game. I think it is one of those things where he was just always good at it and everyone told him how much money he would make. He used to do it part time and now that it is full time he hates it. 

Say he doesn’t walk away, what would you even pay him? $15M? He’d probably never take something like that and hold out until he joins the Kings for $25M. Then go off for a year and get another big contract that he sucks in.
