He will go very far, and he's not just an excellent fighter but also an entertainer, which is exactly what the UFC Franchise needs.

I am eager to see who will give Butler the max contract.
Sharp GM went to get Harris as insurance. Only a crazeman GM would give Jimmy Butler max

Also how dumb must Dell Demps feel knowing he could have gotten Ingram and Kuzma

I am still wondering how romero fits into the middle wieght class of about 185. The guy is huge body wise compared to the like of Israel Adesanya.
Lool he's right on the edge 184-185. Adesanya is like 6-3 so that might explain it because he is also listed at 184

This is the biggest question about kyrie: Injuries.
His game is so dependent on cutting, dribbling, shooting from impossible angles off the dribble that it places so much pressure on his fragile knees.

As for the Celtics chemistry issues I put some of the blame on brad Stevens, its one thing to be a tactical genius that can extract the best performance from a bunch of mediocre guys, it another to be a great manager of egos and manage a team of very talented players to a championship level. This is why I get annoyed when people disrespect Steve Kerr.
Secondly, a lot is said about how trade rumours are running the Lakers chemistry but no one talks about its influence on the Celtics locker room. You have guys like jaleyn brown, rozier, Hayward, smart and even Tatum who know their days are probably numbered in a celtics uniform.
I wouldn't put the entire blame on Stevens. The truth is the younger Celtic players (Rozier,Smart,Brown,Tatum) have all been punching above their weight and have regressed to mean level this season. They are also playing on a shorter rope this year unlike previous ones where Stevens really had no choice.

I had Celtics as the prohibitive favorite in the East when the season started but that prediction don dey shake merely going by how inconsistent they have been all year. Maybe there is still some magical switch or gear they can hit, remains to be seen

That boy looking like the real deal. Though I feel he might struggle against a grappler but he has this Jon Jones vibe.

I would like to see him face Romero, Gastellum or Whittaker for the belt since they both rep NZ
SportsRe: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 5:30am On Feb 10, 2019
Man these Celtics looking like the biggest flops of the season low-key. Blew an 18pt lead the other night and a 28pt lead tonight. If the playoffs started today they would have home court

Kyrie is injured. Water is wet

Paul George has really elevated his game this year. Absolute monster


aliondo:
Its cool for parents once in a while to hype their kids to instill confidence but i feel when they overdo it,it could bring unnecessary pressure on the kid. I didn't like the way he talked about Luke. No matter what, you gotta respect the coach and allow him exert his principles on the team. I have complained about Coach Donovan sometimes but i still respect him as a coach.

If he is so passionate about his kid, let him take up the Lakers Coaching job.

#MyOwnOpinion
I'm not a Ball fan but the way Luke uses him at times can be a bit head-scratching. Maybe he is overdoing it but these kids are pretty much his meal ticket so he has to I guess

You are right on the money. IMO i also think its because of the publicity that the Lakers made the huge mistake of drafting Lonzo ahead of better developed talents like Tatum, Fox, Donovan, Lauri and even DSJ
That should tell you how poor the talent evaluation is at the Lakers then. If one man's hype machine could make them draft him ahead of better players

i have never seen a home team so quiet. sixers fans are in adream state rite now, trying to see how this new lineup pans out.

@a40 i thought the same thing! pops is a piece of works, but hes in your corner grin
Those boys are his retirement plan. He is ready to go to war for them and considering the average reputation of black men being deadbeats and all you can at least respect him for always sticking up for his kids, however obnoxious he might sound

There would be zero heat on Lonzo if he wasn't a lottery pick playing in LA honestly. I think the man is also simply trying to take the heat off his kid or at least that's what he thinks he's doing.

I prefer Robben to Gnabry for his big game mentality. But the guy no wan regain fitness, Na that shakushaku Ribery dey plan enter training now

The one year extension we gave Robbery sef, wetin we gain?
Gnabry is decent. We no get choice but to manage am. Liverpool's backline is suspect and we have no excuse to not breach it Robben or no Robben.

I'm just happy that there is now clarity on the Robben and Ribery matter. It is better to let a player leave a year early than a year late but obviously our front office didn't get the memo.

Coman obviously has to start so the option on the left will be between Gnabry and Ribery. It's a no-brainer who should start but this is Kovac we are talking about here

No doubt, Lebron is not a choir boy. Even social crusaders often have selfish interests. I am sure that is the case to some extent with Lebron. Such is the nature of change though...we lionize such people decades later, but everyone has flaws.

The reason I compared to Ali is that in his time, Ali was considered a dumb tool, even by some NOI members. Today more people know him than the founder of NOI. Still, flawed as he was, in the middle of the hype, there was some good change.
My point is this one is not about trying to create any change. This isn't any form of activism in the least. This is pretty much him lashing out about the Pelicans refusal to play ball

Comparing this to Ali's situation is a terribly unfair reach. LeNomad would not get lionized for moaning about a player that secured himself financially with maximum compensation for the first 7 years of his career and does not even want to see out his contractual obligations. This is about guys that simply want to eat their cake and have it. There is nothing remotely radical or revolutionary about this

If you're serious about freedom then sign a qualifying offer after your rookie deal like Porzingis threatened to do. That way we know you're betting on yourself and you mean business

I definitely dont like those situations where players get a big payday then refuse to show up on the court. But I think we still need to be fair to all parties involved. There will always be cheats and lazy workers. You cant get rid of this risk wether its mcdonalds or the nba.

Speaking of which, on your list, im not sure I can fault Kanter. They shut him down even though he wanted to play.
That's why I always disagree with the narrative that paints the team or owners as villains all the time. For every trade or unfair moves there are always even more instances of players not playing up to the level of their deals.

The worst case scenario in the NBA is you get traded maybe to a less than ideal situation but at least you still get your bar, you can replace Kanter with Wiggins then, bear in mind that the teams however have to pay a permacrock for example like Joakim Noah or Chandler Parsons who has not stepped into a court in over 2 seasons. Let's be keeping the same energy

LeNomad is not some sort of social crusader like you're trying to paint here. If not for the Davis scenario he no for chook mouth for Harrison Barnes matter and we both know this
