What’s with Jason kidd that they only wanted him as an assistant

Probably because his ass can’t coach and should’ve been someone assistant first.

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

I respect lebrons greatness but some of y’all are overvaluing his worth right now; dude is aging quickly and that last season in LA sped up the process

Kd for bron straight up is not even a consideration if your golden state

I mean aside from the fact it's impossible since KD will be a free agent so we'd have to max him in his prime then trade him lol

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Yeah I mean in spurts you may see Kwahi or Lebron do it but I have no reason to do it. That’s what your 3 and D guy is for.

You'll see kawhi do it
LeBron used to he's just too old to do both that's an age thing not a skill thing
Paul George does it
Klay does it
There's maybe a couple more but not elite players that do it

 

[easy_b]

KD will be a real bitch nigga for leaving. Curry and Klay sacrificed so much for him

I mean golden state is a good situation for Kevin Durant if he go to another team there’s a good chance he may not win another championship again.

Harden scored 12 points in the last 8 minutes of the game. The bench & Capela shit the bed last night while GS bench feasted. CP3 played his only best game of the series last night. If he had half this output in game 5 the series would be different.

It's coaching.

Kerr adjusted. Kerr put faith in his players while The Rockets were scapegoating Melo

 

[SpiritualPorn]

Let’s stop with the narrative that Steph’s doesn’t play defense and is a liability and can’t guard anyone. Steph plays solid defense but gets slap happy and picks up bullshit fouls. They also have to conserve his energy for offense.

Players aren’t breaking his ankles and running right passed him. With that said, no player can’t stop any elite level scorer in the game.

Defense is a team accomplishment.

This lock down defender shit is how sports talk shows sell the players they like.

 

[REDLINE]

Exactly

That's a thing you see your russ vs dame example is perfect

They guarded each other russ got owned by him then stopped guarding him it was a personal challenge

Now Steph plays defense solid he reaches too much and doesn't get the benefit of a clean reach hess no stopper and also none of the names compared come close to stopping him

Not even remotely close

Agreed...

Steph so reach too much at times picking up bs fouls, but that’s just him so we’ll have to deal with it.

Defense is a team accomplishment.

True but Klay plays lockdown defense and Kawhi’s also good. John Wall’s was good in the past.

But you’re right, it’s team defense because if a player tries to lock you down they’ll end up picking up fouls.

 

[LordSinister]

Yeah and last year Lebron was hurt.

Just like I called it before the season started. Right now Bron is a 1995 Silver star. A class car and a legend but you don't run it hard every day.

 

[BDR]

CP3? We musta watched two different games.

Yeah that old washed up stat padding nigga

 

[Amajorfucup]

Yeah that old washed up stat padding nigga

Yous a supreme hater my man.

He's solid
But it's hilarious ppl will always lean on that shit like the other stars they use to prop up ever guard him
They don't

And when they do he roasts them so they must be a liability too

 

[Day_Carver]

I mean what are they chasing at this point? They’ve done everything except win without stacked teams. Klay needs to leave and get a gang of money.

Why would Klay leave when GS can pay him the most money??

 

[shaddyvillethug]

First year Love and Kyrie hurt, 2nd year Steph hurt

When was Steph hurt?

HE SAID IM BACK

 

[BDR]

Lakers need to hold that L

 

[Llano]

It's coaching.

Kerr adjusted. Kerr put faith in his players while The Rockets were scapegoating Melo

Kerr definitely outcoached D'antoni but y'all gotta get off this Melo rant. Melo is not in the league for a reason, when he was with the Rockets they were last in the West after 25 games. He just can't play in today's league and to make things worse, he still thinks he's an elite player which is why no one hasn't called him.

It's pretty telling that not one playoff team made a call to his agent

 

[dtownsfinest]

Why would Klay leave when GS can pay him the most money??

That would depend on if they want to pay that luxury tax and double that money. They probably don’t mind doing it but yeah I’d want my own identity.

I'm not a fan of Melo or his game. Never have been.

I bet Garden wants him gone

 

[playahaitian]

Yo Bron...

Time to go.

Now these Lakers just trolling

Good lawd jennie buss bosum is the real MVP.

He has his own identity. He's in the best possible situation professionalpr and financially. No need to go to a different team to start all over again. Klay ain't going no where. ....

Yep

The ONLY way I could see that happening is if those filthy rich owners either finally balk at the luxary tax

or let some other bitch ass owner get in they ear about spending.

Letting Klay go to either the Clippers or Lakers?

might be one of dumbest moves in modern nba history.

And that being said?

These rich white men Never surprise me so I'd still give it a 10% chance of actually happening

 

[playahaitian]

I don't know what to do with the melo legacy besides the fact that he was 9ne the greatest pure scorers EVER and made a BOATLOAD of money.

Outside that?

I have no idea what happened to his game or how to judge his legacy

He is definitely a hall of famer

A college legend

But i dont think he gets his jersey up in msg.

 

[jack walsh13]

Lakers need to hold that L

Jesus fuckin Christ

 

[largebillsonlyplease]

Big game 7's tomorrow coaching jobs on the line

 

[shaddyvillethug]

Lakers need to hold that L

They should just call it what it is, the lame duck position. Halfway into the season lebron will have him fired and Kidd promoted.

The extra step is only because they can't hire a wife beater directly without female owner losing her feminist credentials.

Maybe a 5% chance; the warriors owners don't seem dumb, but you never know. I'll be shocked if Klay left. I didn't think it would be smart for LBJ to leave; it made no basketball sense. But he left and we all seen how that turned out. I always wonder who is really advising these guys though......

The Knicks should retire Oakley and Starks jerseys.

If they didn't retire them and then retired Carmelo, that would be some star-fucking bullshit. Carmelo Anthony is a footnote in Knicks history for winning the only post-Ewing playoff series. He gets a passing mention, not a hanging jersey.

It is a truly insulting prospect. Andrew Cuomo should sign an executive order mandating anyone who suggests the possibility be slapped on sight, with those who hear the utterance and fail to smack the speaker subject to a $500 fine.

I agree with everything you said here.

Why not? He’s a role player. I get what you’re saying. If that’s his make up then yeah he will never leave. But these guys usually don’t think like that. There’s more money to be made elsewhere but maybe he don’t care about the money I don’t know him to say.

Let me get my Dr Truth/BrownTurd picks in early. The Nuggets and the 76ers win today.
