~*~2014 NBA OffSeason Thread - Free Agency Starts - 7/1 12am ~*~

Cause Jordan never had a reason to leave Chicago.

If Jordan wanted to hold the league hostage he could have at any point in his career.

Jordan threatened retirement from the Bulls his last 2 years in Chicago to ensure Phil and Scottie came back. And it never made the league stop.
 
Nah its because Jordan wasn't running around the league hoeing himself out peddling for help! His prime he chilled at the house HE built and made motherfuckers run through him. That's why he has a statue in chicago and still owns that town! :yes:

Guess that's the reason why jordan until his last 2 yrs he became the highest paid in the league...

In this new CBA it's beneficial to opt out after 2 or 3 yrs
 
I was trying to think if Shaq was in his prime right now with Lebron....who'd have more power and who'd be the #1 free agent? It would be Shaq no doubt right?

Shaq, bro'?

Niggas put Kawaii Leonard on Lebron, and are reasonably comfortable with what the outcome will be.

Shaq is taking three country strong, 6'10" niggas to the rim with him.

Lebron is a mutant.

Shaq is the Hulk.

I will only concede that they'd be equal. No way in hell is PRIME Shaq LESS desirable than Lebron.

Let's keep it real:

Any top 15 all-time player could do this.

Duncan? You think if Duncan did this, teams wouldn't be lining up to cater to him?

Kobe?

Olajuwon?

Just naming names, but these types of players not only put good teams over the top, but can put asses in seats. It's a no brainer.
 
he know his bandwagon run could be over today/tomorrow so dude is going balls out I suppose :lol:

I hope it is. And for the record this shit ain't about Lebron. I just want to see all these roaches scatter if Bron leaves. :lol: I don't see it but boy it would be early Christmas. Inkosi gonna move on to football season talking about Cam if this shit goes down. :lol:
 
Yea that's a good point. MJ simply never had to do this. He could've. A lot of guys in the 90's could've. Even Shaq.

Decisions were made.

There was no "show" and "tour"

this doesn't just apply to Lebron, it applies everybody taking meetings and getting presentations and shit for them.. from Melo to Dwight..to whoever else..

This is a trend in it's infancy

Dudes would decide and then go play... lol

I'm not calling what's happening good or bad it's just completely different.

:lol::lol::lol:

:lol: I agree. I remember when dudes use to limit Shaq to 29 and 10 and would be happy he got his average. :lol:

Nope, yall wouldnt care and would talk about what Bron should do. No player, not even Jordan has ever got yall this riled up, Bron is bigger than all them. Yall made it this way. :yes:

You not lying. And I agree. I don't like it but I don't care enough to complain. Its different now that's for sure. Deron Williams and Melo getting treated like royalty from city to city on tour.
 
Jordan threatened retirement from the Bulls his last 2 years in Chicago to ensure Phil and Scottie came back. And it never made the league stop.

So you're comparing retirement with free agency?

Nobody had a chance to land Jordan.. if they did the league would have stopped

If he went on a tour taking meetings for his services all the rest of the teams in the nba would do their best to present him with whatever they could to convince him.

Stop acting like this.

I know you hate Jordan.. I know this

You don't have to make false equivalencies

The league wasn't paying during his entire prime.

The money started coming at the end and he got his.

Jordan would have signed 3 different super max contracts if there was such a thing.

It this for real? Why would he need to do all of that if was simply re-upping with the Heat?

MJ was never a "free agent". :lol: He was never leaving Chicago. Back in the 90's if you were still in your prime you were settling for niggas like Allan Houston and Latrell Spreewell. You wasn't getting your hands on David Robinson, MJ, Patrick, or Keem.

Exactly.

This dude is trolling.

Trust me - I know a thing or two about gettin' under skin. :lol:
 
Also, let's keep it real...

Lebron is the no. 1 FA, but Melo is getting the superstar treatment as well.

You think MJ ...

...WAIT, WHAT AM I DOING???

He was a free agent at the time signing 1 year deals. There wasnt this hoopla thats a fact. Even when he came back from retirement in '95, the league didnt stop, thats a fact. Shaq's free agency in summer 96 was a bigger deal than Jordans, thats a fact. And that didnt make the league stop either. Bills you were in pre school back then, you know not what you speak of. Stop tryna make Jordan into LeBron, I know he's your hero, but stop it. :smh: Those of us who were old enough back then to remember know Jordan wasnt on this level.

He had no chance of leaving Chicago. You know this I know this. He was signing deals so he could get paid.

You're the one who can't go a minute without mentioning Jordan on your breath

You're the one who HAS to compare him to Lebron not me. You're the one obsessed.

Jordan isn't my hero

Never has been.

Lebron is your God though. that's a fact.
 
Y'all didn't see what he said though....

Dude said that he'd take LeBron over Shaq IN HIS PRIME!

man I'm too thru with this guy....

*edit

Maybe I didn't read it correctly. Fuck this.....

King T who you taking man

LeBron vs Shaq in his prime?

It this for real? Why would he need to do all of that if was simply re-upping with the Heat?

I said two weeks ago that LeBron would not return to the Heat and the "Big 3" era would end.

I'm still sticking with my original prediction.
 
MJ was never a "free agent". :lol:

Yes he was. He signed 2 1 year deals his last 2 years in Chi. You probably was 5 then so you dont remember. :lol:

You right tho he wasnt leaving. Jordan knew he wasnt winning shit without Phil and Scottie. Jordan was not LeBron, you couldnt stick him on any squad and immediately become contenders. Ask the Wizards. :yes:

I thought everyone knew your dude was Oscar Robertson.

He wasn't no free agent. He may have technically been oen but he was never leaving. In the 90's.......only star I can think of right now that left his team in the prime of his career was Shaq. Marquee talent wasn't going nowhere. They were staying put.

And Jordan was past his prime and 40 when he was a Wizard stop this nonsense. :lol:
 
Also if LeBron goes to any team (other than Miami) I expect him to sign a 4 year contract (opposed to the 2 year that was leaked if he re-signed with Miami)
 
That don't matter to a dude like King T. If you're not For lebron that means you love Jordan in his world

If you think LeBron is better than Jordan at something or done something he hasnt you are "extreme" and "irrationally hate Jordan" :lol:

Let that shit go Bills, Jordan has enough capes flappin for him, he'll be aight.

Again, I didn't bring up Jordan in this discussion I'm not caping for Jordan

You're just flat out being dishonest for the sake of Inkosi.

The only irrational person here is you..and that's consistent whenever Inkosi is mentioned

You probably say his name 5 times in the mirror before you go to bed hoping he'd show up like Candyman
