Phil will give them 3B. Nba teams jump in value like crazy. So it doesn’t even matter if it’s 3B next year it’ll be worth 3.5B then 10 years from now maybe 10B
Agreed. The word got out too soon so the NBA and the Team put the kabosh on it. That's all we're seeing here.
As an elephant, I am. Loquaciously pro-assault, egocentric, and now apparently pro-chomo? What's there not to obsess on? I mean, come on.
Lol you are hilarious. I stated human trafficking is a horrible thing that I am 100% against. What I'm not for is using pictures of someone and calling them guiltt by association right off the bat. Could Jobs be a horrible person? Absolutely. Could Jobs be involved? Sure. Do we know with 100% certainty and has she been charged with anything? No. And as I said, Silver would do due diligence and decide if it was a good fit. The NBA does not want to be involved with anything like that. If there is enough evidence there for Silver to not bring her in as an owner, great. I don't give a fuck.
She could be involved and the worst person in the world. I don't know her. I'm just not going to condemn someone with all these "connecting the dots conspiracies." If she is involved she can go to hell. Pictures don't make me immediately call someone guilty when they are just sitting or standing there.
Not that I know of. If I did I wouldn't hang out with them if I knew. Do you still support Dame? Because he also said sometimes people need to get smacked for what they say. If you do, guess you're a hypocrite. Doesn't surprise me.
Again, this isn't Johnny Depp and Amber Heard. This is an international child trafficking and blackmail case. This isn't a series of random dots to me the way it is to you. I also appreciate you saying how smart, handsome and good of a person I am since this is how I'm interpreting your response. This isn't something we need to go into further in this forum/thread. The problem with trafficking and blackmail of politicians and other powerful people is a huge, huge issue and not one that you can explain in a few paragraphs. It's one of the darkest nastiest things on Earth and ties into intelligence entrapment operations and all kinds of nastiness. There is a reason that not one person in that black book has been investigated, let alone charged and it's something that should chill everyone to the bone. Guilt by association is very often wrong, but in this case it's enough to warrant an investigation. Believe me, I'm all for Constitutional Rights and due process, but this is a sports opinion forum and we are judge jury and executioner all the time about players and their attitudes etc. like we know them personally. This is wholly different than if Simmons has his head on right or, if various owners are good stewards. This is a woman who is closely associated with one of the worst people in this country and I do not want her anywhere near my sports franchise. Period.
This hypocritical smugfuckery is what gets under my skin. “Support” Dame like cheer for the Blazers? Yes. “Support” Dame like think he’s a pillar of society or something? He’s no Chauncey, but still, not so much. I know too much about him. He says plenty of idiotic things.
Oh ok. So it is fine to root for someone that is PRO assault when you say it is ok in your mind then. Got it.
Exactly. Phil is doing this for legacy he’s keeping this in the family for a long time. So for him to pay 3B is nothing
There's a subtly to language, it's true, and since English is clearly not your first language, you deserve a pass. Allow me to rephrase: I support the team. I do not root for Chauncey and I do not root for Dame. Although obliquely I suppose I must if I'm wanting us to win. It's complicated. Much like, but on a much, much larger scale, being an American in this polarizing time. As for the OP topic. Let's get this franchise out of the hands of yet another "never proven guilty" sexual predator and not into another. Feels like Phil Knight could lift the gloom from this franchise...
Gladly, my apologies. Although, it is unfortunately rather on topic. Even Paul Allen himself has been linked to Maxwell (and obviously Melinda Gates felt that guilt by association was powerful enough to leave Bill). It'd just be nice to have some serious distance from these things, which is what started this part of the discussion in the first place...
