Around the NBA - July 2017 Edition

Ooh, ouch, no. Didn't know that. Attempts at humor can often be dangerous.

 

Turn off sigs. It's the only way to fly.

 

Lebron isn't staying in Cleveland. Kyrie is younger, under contract, and a better long term building piece.

 

I explained it right after and you still took it out of context.

It is a bunch of trades that won't happen, was just outlining how it's possible that CLE could get 4 to 6 lottery picks

 

Then turn of sigs, FFS.

 

Boston should offer up Isaiah Thomas for Kyrie Irving. That's probably not equal value, but I wonder if Cleveland would get a better offer. Irving would fit Boston's timeline with Tatum, Brown and future picks a bit better.

 

Meh. Not really. It was when he had 4. 2 is good tho. See my sig.

 

Which is why he'll expand his NTC

 

Why. Yours is one of the best. I like seeing it.

 

I wouldn't do that trade if I'm Cleveland. There is nothing compelling them to trade Irving. They still have him locked up for at least two more years. I would personally hold onto him until either the deadline or the draft. Or at least until they know what's happening with LeBron.

 

Well shit, if that's all it takes! Someone let the media know that Melo is going to open up his NTC!

 

Yeah, that's probably the coldly rational thing to do, but teams generally seem skittish about holding onto guys who don't want to be there. Of course, if your only trade options are awful, you bite that bullet and hold onto the player.

 

No, yours sucks also. Too much crap.

 

Id prefer putting 4 smaller gifs because More Nurk = More Better, and itd take up less vertical space...

But I can't make the gifs smaller.

 

God the NBA is full of whiny-ass whores and it's just getting worse every year.

 

You think he stays is NY?

 

I think I turned off sigs a couple years ago. Magnifier had too many huge sigs that drew attention, so it made it harder to browse at work. They were eye catching.

 

I responded to what you wrote when you wrote it. I did not have the benefit of reading your subsequent posts where you added more detail. You do this a lot. You post something. Later add more detail and then accuse those responding to your original post as taking things out of context. It's not out of context, if it's the only context we have when we are composing our responses.

BNM

 

You're a whore if you team up with other stars and you're a whore if you want to lead your own team. That makes it hard not to be a whore.

 

I have no idea what he's going to do. I know that Houston doesn't have anything to trade. I don't see the Knicks caving and taking on a shit contract just to make him happy, so I think there's a very real possibility he plays out the year and leaves next summer as a free agent. If he does open up his NTC, it probably won't be for a month or two.
