    Didn't the Mod Gods already try that? I think we were going to revolt and tear the forum down?

    Allen Crabbe Exercises $18.5M Player Option For 19-20 With Nets
    May 3, 2019 9:27 AM

    [​IMG]
    Allen Crabbe has exercised his $18.5 million player option for the 19-20 season with the Brooklyn Nets.

    The Nets signed Crabbe to a four-year, $75 million offer sheet in 2016, which was subsequently matched by the Portland Trail Blazers. Portland then traded Crabbe to the Nets during the 2017 offseason for cap relief.

    Crabbe will be an unrestricted free agent in 2020.

    Right but saying things like LeBron is the coach is weird to me.

    Does anyone in here believe Dame doesn't have the exact kind of free reign that LeBron does?

    Please give me an iota of evidence that supports this besides your opinion.

    I dont believe Dame would wield the power in the same way Lebron does. Not sure thats even a right or wrong thing, but Dame is so unique in how he handles himself.

    I literally said it was my opinion... For the record here’s some evidence, he didnt really last long in Cleveland after LBJ left. Never heard his name brought up for any other jobs other than LA. Do you have any evidence that Lue is a coach other teams would want?

    Meh. People need to stop making up narratives and pretending like they're true.

    I had to school a guy The other day saying Dennis Rodman would "shut down" LeBron.

    MFs need to stop hating. Only thing LeBron had done wrong was "the decision" (made 20 million from that airing) and going to the Fakers.

    Did I say there was anything wrong it though? I didnt...
    Edit: I also dont know how you can claim Im making up a narrative and pretending its truth when I say at the very start its MY opinion... So I was pretty clear that it was an opinion.

    Do you think Lue’s a good coach?
    Do you think Lue gets Clevelands HC job or LAL’s job if he wasnt friends with LBJ?

    The officiating in the Celtics-Bucks game is horrible.

    Man I fucking hate the Rockets or any team with Chris Paul.
    Even though I truly believe Portland would beat them if we get to the WCF, I just can't root for them.
    What to do...
    (edit: it just dawned on me that I'm(we) are hypothesizing about a trip to the WCF!!!!!!!)
