I think i'm moving back to the hood. My girl talking about quitting her job to go full time at school. She must plan on being single again. I show back up when she popping and shit again because she has me fucked up. I'm like stuck in that entrepreneur mode but trying to find time for everything but my come up. ITs March and my new years resolutions FUCKED off. :lol:

LOL!!! Shit, that's tough. Baby girl would have to go to school part time and keep some income coming in. It's tough at that age though man, When Y2K hit my first gig was delivering news papers and shit, fucked me up since I was in IT and damn near all those jobs dried up. Having your own business as long as you have a good business and implementation plan is the way to go though.
 
Wiggins game is disturbing.

I don't think I've seen a 6'8 player do less. He averages less than 4 boards a game, and his passing and creating opportunities for others is nonexistent. That's why I always found the Lebron comparisons laughable. He's the furthest thing from Lebron.

His shooting has improved, but I still think his best position is at the 3, because he can't shoot from three.

How is it dumb? He opted out of his contract to go to a contender? Like I said its dumb to us because we don't have millions in the bank. Him? He's gonna clear that shit. His career has been rather underrated and irrelevant because he's never played for a legit contender. People forget that for awhile he was making some All Star teams. He was a solid player in his prime.

I wouldn't do it but i'm not in his boat to relate either.

Spurs aint winning shit; so you opt out of 11+million guaranteed for a "chance" to win something that isnt going to happen anyways; It has nothing to do with how much money one has already made; Would you leave your job that is paying you 100k for another job that is only paying you 10k for a chance at moving up?? Would you leave a your wife, whom you are fucking everyday, for a gorgeous woman that might let you fuck?? You dont give up millions that is guaranteed regardless of what you do for a chance to do something that isnt promise and not going to happen anyways...

Miami has no 3 pt shooting; in a series no way you can win against GS without consistent 3pt shooting; Curry will dominate Dragic; Miami has no matchup advantages over GS; plus when GS goes to smaller lineup they kill Whiteside on pick and roll; GS in 5...
Click to expand...
Actually Miami matches up with Golden State very well and that is why we give them all kinds of trouble. People seem to forget that the Heat started the small ball. We play small ball better than anyone because we have done it for 5 years straight.

Deng matches up very well with Draymond at the 4 as Deng is quicker and just as strong on the boards. Wade stay abusing Klay in the post and Winslow locks up Iggy every time.

Whiteside dominates GSW in the paint and he defends the pick n roll extremely well.
 
Day_Carver said:
I seen those reg season games; And they were close but GS will be able to concentrate solely on the heat in the playoffs; Miami is slow, but their defense isnt good enough to slow GS down; I think GS will be able to play fast against Miami; I think the games will be competitive but GS will pull it out at the end; So Im sticking to GS in 5...
Click to expand...
Miami is slow? You do realize Miami has been number one in pace and shot attempts since the allstar break right? We run and gun the entire game now.

Another trend

I never said that the refs where the reason why the Cavs lost, because I agree that they never should play teams close enough to allow the refs to determine the outcome of the games, because if you look at whats going on they never get the benefit of the close calls and in late of games you can expect them to be screwed..
I can take it one step further, they allow the refs to get them frustrated, if I were their coach I would mentally prepare them for the bullshit using it as a rallying tool for them to play harder.. But I know its frustrating constantly getting called for ticky tack fouls while the other team is basically allowed to t off on you..
If you go back to the superbowl this is exactly how the Panthers lost and was how they lost their composure and started making mistakes and basically the same strategy cops use to bait black men into getting arrested and sometimes killed over a minor ticket or warning..
I have always been a smart guy who see's and notices subtle things most over look, and I can honestly say that I know how sports is rigged, the way they cheat is very subtle most of the times, if they give the 50/50 calls to a team 80% of the time it usually results in a 8 point shift or three extra trips to the free throw and two extra turnover on offense leading to at least one other basket..
Its not about freethrows either, for example yesterdays game the Cavs had a fast break steal with LeBron heading to the hole vs one smaller guard when they called a double foul of Delly and some other guys after the guy plowed Delly from behind... So on paper it was a double foul no harm but in reality it took away two points from the Cavs..
The refs do a lot of slick shit like that to determine games...
This was the 2nd close game they lost where in the last 40 sec the other team was allowed to get the ball at least three times in a row due to turnovers caused by the refs... The last game the Cavs lost up by 4 with like ten secs left in the game..
Now I know these things happen in the NBA but not at the rate that its happening to the Cavs... We all know that the NBA brass hate LeBron especially his approach to empowering the players, I think this is their way of whipping their slave keeping him in check...
Click to expand...
This is why so many have him on ignore and don't respect his opinion. He can never give the other team credit. It is always plea after plea. If it was me, I would have simply said the Grizzlies played a great game and caught us slipping. Every team or NBA champion will have some questionable losses during the season and it really is not a big deal. If they played 10 times the Cavs would probably win by 30 9 times. But this dude talking about the league hates Lebron and police shooting blacks along with the NBA is rigged:confused::smh:

i agree to happiness; but this nigga gave up 11million for a "chance" to win, not win; fuck outta here; And Football players go thru alot more physically than basketball players; so I understand Calvin doing that; plus hes not going to another team and taking less money...West and Aldridge are complete idiots to me...
Click to expand...
West will be turning 36 years old this year. He wanted a legit shot at a title and after taxes he would have only received about 5 million. To someone who has made over 100 million and extra 5 million is not a big deal.
 
RoadRage said:
No one should get benifits from the refs, like wise no one should have all the calls against them late in games... I am saying this to all betting people out there, if the game is close, or you think its a close game always go with the league favorites and against the villains, this don't always applies to the Cavs but every team the NBA and NFL..
Click to expand...
Good teams win close games. It really is that simple. Calls are pretty even on both ends but they just seem to be magnified during close games.
 
IT IS WHAT IT IS said:
Calvin Johnson is retiring more for health reasons so its not the same... And yeah, leaving 10 percent of your career earnings (and he hasnt cleared 100 mill) is a grip. Think about how much youve made from day one and give up 10 percent of that shit and let me know if you feel it. Plus theirs no guarantee hes gonna get a chip with SA either...
Click to expand...
He has made over $90 million in his career and will turn 36 this season. Remember after taxes he would only bring home about $5 million. To someone who has made that kind of money an extra 5 million is nothing. He is retiring next season and wanted to try and get a ring. If not he was going to retire this season because he has no need for an extra 5 million.

Bad analogy.

The accurate analogy would be this.

If you were about to retire, would you give up 100k in salary to work at a job you enjoy going to work and love that only pays 10k?

You completely missed the point. West is not a slave to money. He is fortunate to not have his life controlled by money. US common folk are a slave to money. Many us reluctantly have to get up each day and spend 8 to 10 hours of our day working for a check, because if we don't we don't eat.

West is in a space where he can do what he loves and not worry about a check. He is no longer a slave to money as he does not have to do anything other than breath.

Yeah man i'm just thinking he's taking a little later to develop. Seems like he has some ball hoggers over there that all nee the ball to dominate. Towns needs it. Rubio needs it. Lavine needs it. But yeah his lack of rebounding and assist numbers are troubling. His jumper will get better. But those are thing that should be clear right now.

If West has made over 100mill in his playing career, he didnt bring that home; at most he could have brought home 55mill; govt is taking 40-50%; add agents and other fees and thats on the high end of what he would have brought home; and thats before normal daily living shit; so yes that 5mill is a nice chunk of change regardless of what one has made...

Slow in terms of comparing them with GS; Also you using a very small sample size as it relates to after the all star break..
 
IT IS WHAT IT IS said:
Can you post a link to all of the outside business ventures he's made all the millions you seem to be referencing to validate your point?

Also, I feel you Dude, you're struggling because you said some dumb shit and can support it, you didn't say made you said CLEARED so, I didn't miss understand shit... and all of the emoticons and weak ass jokes you're trying to introduce is really a feeble attempt at deflection from the dumb shit you are saying...

I won't bite though, again,

David West Career earnings:87 mill: Fed/State Tax approx 45% , agent, financial advisor and attorney fees approx 15% which puts his CLEARED bread not including personal expenses would be around 28 mill. Now, factor that in to turning away 11 mill (6 after taxes) which is about 28 percent of his net worth to POSSIBLE get a chip that he may not get equals a dumb ass move...

No one is questioning his money; that really isnt the issue and besides the point; its about a decision to leave what is guaranteed on the table for a chance at something that is no where near guaranteed; on top of that, again this giving up money for chasing titles shit only happens/pushed in "black sports"....shit is really dumb but you guys keep believing in that crap...

he should get more boards. everything else is pretty much just taking what he can get. He doesn't get the ball enough in position to create that's not what the timberwolves have him do. they trying to develop 3 young players at the same time with no vet point guard thats the problem.

levine learning. wiggins learning and now townes.

nah wasn't going all there just heard some things about him that lend me to believe he has money. when one of the top civil rights and pan african speakers died last year he paid for the funeral immediately. cut a check and sent it out. dudes who broke rich ain't able to do that nor would they be willing to part with money like that. means he's saving and selective with his funds imo.

It's not dumb because it's what is important to him and his life period. It ain't pushed in black sports and all of that nonsense. Either you really want to win a title and are looking for the best opportunity to do so or you're trying to get paid and neither is wrong.
saying he's silly for trying to win a ring when you don't know whether or not that's the entire reason he began to love basketball and even play it is just nonsense.

It it is pushed in black sports; Why do you think LBJ is doing what hes doing; One of the reason he said he left Miami is because of the owner not spending money; same thing occurred in OKC; and it continues to occur all over the NBA; wanting players to take less for a chance at shit; who said thats his entire reason for playing in the NBA or basketball for that matter? If that was the case he would have been signed for lesser amount; that love shit is bullshit; these guys play for money, as they should; i didnt say he was wrong, I said he was an idiot...

"Sample size"

It's funny to me because I'm teaching that class right now. I'd be a proud teacher if these knucklehead students I got right now could use stat words in class like you just did.

Yes he did. He even said it after he lost to the Heat. He said he was not enjoying himself and the Pacers simply could not reach the level of the Heat.

It is a beautiful thing in life when you reach that point where your actions are not dictated by money. He simply is not a slave to money and no longer needs to do anything other than make himself happy. You seem to have a hard time understanding this because you have not reached that level.

You are a slave to money. Money dictates your actions. You can't even do something you enjoy because of money. Most of us are slaves to money including myself. We spend most of our lives trying to make a living just so we can have things in life but rarely do we get to enjoy life without having to work some 9 to 5 job.

West is in a beautiful space where he now only has to do what makes him happy. Days of doing things for a check are over for him

As a business owner myself I have to disagree. As an owner you have more responsibility than just playing ball. If NBA players want a fair cut then they should put up the money. Some owners put up $400 million plus for their franchise. If you put up $400 to 800 million you probably not trying to hear that shit either:lol:Yeah I want to win a title also, and that is the goal but I put up $800 million and I want all my bread back. I would be like....I am already paying your choking ass 22 million a year. If you want to play with other stars...cool. Divide that salary up and it is a deal. If not you better make it do what it do because you ain't put in on shit:lol:
