2017-2018 NBA Season Thread [Archived] Basketball • Page 25

eh, maybe i overreacted. but he made similar comments last year about the rules being the rules, and his expectation is people stand yada yada. it felt weird then and does still now.

 

that's a very surprising response from Silver. What is he nuts? Lmao enjoy your league if Lebron, Cp3 etc are all suspended.

 

I don't think he's nuts, he's just going to take things as they come. He isn't that stupid.

 

The NBA is the most progressive league of all the major sports, I have faith they'll handle it much better than the NFL if/when the situation arises.

 

My guess is he just doesn't want to talk about it during the offseason when it's still a hypothetical and less people are paying attention. That way when it happens he can take a progressive position while people are watching and while the protest is actually happening

 

Michelle Roberts said that most of the teams and players she has talked to don't want to do individual actions like kneeling. They would rather do something as a group to make a statement.

 

sounds like dennis schroder was arrested for misdemeanor battery late last night.

 

Along with 3 others from the looks of it:

Definitely a bummer

 

Westbrook got a 5 year $205M contract extension

 

Well, now the Cavs are definitely losing LeBron next year to OKC.

 

Uh oh what’s LA’s backup plan now

 

Insert the Lavar Ball walking goofy gif.

 

Oof, Schroeder of all people. That's awful, hope he gets fucked by silver.

 

Are NBA contracts guaranteed money?

 

Yes, unless it's a two way contract.

 

NBA reiterates to teams: Players must stand

 

That suckssss

 

So I head to dinner with my friend before the Tribe game tonight and who walks up behind me to get to their table? Dwyane Wade and Gabrielle Union.

About shat myself and gave him a brief thanks for signing with us. Fans were great and no one bugged him to get a photo or quick shout out. Nice, little dinner at a real casual, inexpensive place.

 

Barrio?

 

Yeup.

 

I used to know a girl who lived in the area most of them lived in, she said she'd see shump all the time. I always found that weird, idk what I would do if I constantly saw NBA stars. Probably nothing. I passed Steve nash in a Whole Foods and didn't realize it was him until my friend pointed it out 10 minutes later so lol

 

I see Zeller, Kaminsky and Lamb fairly often since I moved back to Charlotte. They live in the same building as me. Cody is pretty cool and always chats with whoever is around. Frank always has his squad with him. I’m assuming it’s friends from school. Always rolling deep lol. Lamb is always with his lady.

 

Hot damn, preseason starts tonight!
