Mavs trying to dump extreme basketball dummy Javelle McGee
NBA Offseason 2016 - FreeAgency money dried up...Waiters gets $2.6 after OKC pulled $6+ offer...
I'm screaaaamin
Nah fam... Jesus can still contribute. Dude was always in great shape, never had a lot of injuries. Hes better than some teams 2G now. Whoever gets him gets a helluva sniper chief.I love ray, is one of the greats, but he's done bro
Off topic question: were the Cavs Blatts team and should he get credit for the chip? I remember last year there were pages of GS was Mark Jacksons team, etc. So... Does that same rule apply and if not why?
He can still be a good rim protector under the right system..
No silly season shit with him
Kinda the same but different...mark had more than a year. We "kinda felt" he'd help the player more mental.
I'm searching but haven't found anything that we can "kinda feel " Blatt did
We had him all season
He didn't play much cuz believe it or not he is a defense liability
Too dumb
Fucking up his assignments and shit
He can still protect the rim and rebound and score by the basket
Agreed it has to be the right system in Dallas it requires you to think a little too much for a guy like him
If he goes when he can just bang and dunk he will be fine
Maybe 5 minNah fam... Jesus can still contribute. Dude was always in great shape, never had a lot of injuries. Hes better than some teams 2G now. Whoever gets him gets a helluva sniper chief.
Bro he avg at least 18.... Can't wait for folks to eat crow
Ray Felton still out there he will be a steal for a team needing a backup guard
I think he needs the Mavs..... Nobody else gonna play him as much as Carlisle did.
Dudes think he's a bum?
Nah it's some teams that need him
He only got time here cuz people got hurt and then he earned a spot in the rotation
Yea, fourth option gave GS 12 a game. That what you want out of 4 option
did him? bringing him to him? lol
Listen. Barnes is a good player man. He has lots he needs to work on. He needs to work on his dribbling and his ability to finish at the rim and he's a good enough jump shooter. He can improve and be really good. My thing has always been, he ain't worth 95 million dollars TO THE WARRIORS.
that would mean he's worth just as much as draymond and more than klay thompson and that's not a message you want to send.
everyone talks about chemistry and durant fucking it up. i think they would actually be salty if the 4th option made more than and just as much as them.

Charles Barkley doesn't like that Kevin Durantis jumping on the Golden State Warriors' "gravy train" to win a title and doesn't think he's a "bum" because he didn't "cheat" his way to one in his career.
- ESPN.com news services
Durant chose to sign a two-year deal with the Warriors this week after nine seasons with the Oklahoma City Thunder that netted him seven All-Star Games, one MVP and one NBA Finals appearance but no championship.
"I was disappointed. I was disappointed like I was disappointed when LeBron went to Miami," Barkley said on ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike" on Wednesday. "Kevin is a terrific player, he's a good kid. But just disappointed with the fact that he weakened another team and he's gonna kind of gravy train on a terrific Warriors team. Just disappointed from a competitive standpoint. Because just like it meant more to LeBron to win one in Cleveland, it would mean more to Kevin to win one in Oklahoma than it would be in Golden State."
Philadelphia 76ers, Phoenix Suns and Houston Rockets. He was an All-Star 11 times but only made the Finals once, in his 1992-93 MVP season, losing to Michael Jordan's Chicago Bulls in six games.
Barkley headlines a long list of NBA greats who have never won a championships -- players such as Elgin Baylor, Karl Malone, John Stockton, Patrick Ewing, Dominique Wilkins, George Gervin, Allen Iverson and Reggie Miller. Barkley, who is now a TNT analyst, doesn't think it makes them lesser players.
"We develop this thing where you keep telling these guys, 'Hey man, if you don't win a championship you're a bum.' I don't feel like a bum," he said. "I'm pretty sure Patrick Ewing, Karl Malone and John Stockton -- we think we're pretty damn good. We could have played with some of those other guys and kind of cheated our way to a championship. But there is this thing that started with this new generation where these guys feel so much pressure. Everybody wants to win.
"I'm a big Chris Paul fan. I'm sure Chris Paul wants to win a championship. And he could, when his contract is up, go join one of these super teams and get a championship. But it won't be the same as leading your team where you're the bus driver instead of the bus rider."
Durant joins two-time MVP Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Andre Iguodala, a core that won 73 games in the regular season but lost in the NBA Finals to LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. The team Durant leaves, the Thunder, had the Warriors on the ropes in the Western Conference Finals, leading 3-1 before dropping the last three games. The Thunder are now left wondering if they're good enough to win it all and whether they should consider trading superstar Russell Westbrook before he can leave as a free agent after next season.
Barkley doesn't like this whole process.
"We're gonna have guys on bad teams making $25 million a year. And we're going to have three or four competitive teams," Barkley said. "That's the negative of LeBron going to Miami, KD going to Golden State.
"First of all the fans love their teams, they love sports. But they're not going to go see Sacramento, Indiana, Miami, these bad teams where guys are making 10, 20, 30 million dollars a year and they don't have a chance to compete. I mean, that's where we're going. We're going to kill the golden goose. Everybody's going to be making a lot of money, but other than five teams we're going to be putting a shabby product out there. That's what's going to kill the NBA in the next few years in my opinion."

Already knew this was coming. he had a prepared statement already to go.
Must've sucked staying in phoenix his entire career and never chasing a ring.
it ain't even called ring chasing its called doing wtf makes sense.
the only reason some of these dudes didn't go to another team is because their gm's were actually doing enough to put them over the top.
zeke didn't have to ring chase cause their gm improved the team and tweaked the team until it got them over the hump
bird ain't ring chase cause he was playing with a fucking all time great team.
magic did too. at no point was magic running with fucking scrubs.
mj as well. negro had pippen and grant and them
then followed that up with fucking harper and rodman added to pippen there was no reason to leave
hakeem got surrounded by pieces that complimented him excellently they weren't super stars but they were not fucking bums.
etc etc etc etc
I mean Felton needs the Mavs because they the only ones who seem to be able to keep him in shape and give him free reign. I don't know what contends gonna do that or what young team will. I think he played over his head to be honest.
P
When you got a guy who been in the league a few years and got poor handles... Chances are that is what you are going to get for the rest of his career.

Right. I mean shit when you the fourth option to even average double digits is solid enough.
Difference was none of them cats were in their Prime. Mailman got hurt and retired at the end of the season. Glove went and rode the pine in Miami to get his ring at the end of his career. What Barkley is saying none of them in their prime did it.
But they should have. It's just in that era, it was frowned on. Just like if twitter existed in the 80's, we would not have used it the way it's used now. Cat's usually kept their mouths shut. Different era, different people.
In 10-20 years, when cats will switch teams every 2 years chasing dollars, jewelry and whores and have 24 hour live feeds of their lives, you youngsters will be calling that shit hella weak.
So he can be like Reggie? Reggie should've ring chased too.
Reggie was too much of a competitor for that
I don't know man...... Barkley and Malone wasn't quite finished yet. Neither was Drexler. Barkley left the Suns after about 11 years in the league. Durant spent 9..... The way they talk is like he spent a year or two and dipped.
He's ring less too. They talk about legacy.... What's these dudes legacy? All they talk about is how they don't have rings. Barkley, Ewing, Reggie......
maybe there's also a chance he can improve
Improve his game? Possible. His handles will limit him when he's facing premier defensive talent. Just gotta keep practicing that catch and shoot game. I'm excited to see what he does. His contract just as bad as the rest of the league so fuck it lol.
Bruh 3-53 in the finals ain't cutting it..
Nigga was literally making 1 shot per 17 attempts that's horrendous
Yeah but that's not him though. He's had far better performances in the past. His touched will come a lot more frequent now.
Forgot this dude was on your squad. Lol
