Exactly what I'm saying. They're definitely giving Durant the max if he agrees to stay. Would I give Klay and Dray max too? It's a tricky situation for GS

No chance in hell I'm giving both Klay and Dray max. They are both good but keeping KD is an absolute must. Maybe letting one of Klay or Dray go would at least allow them get a competent bench. Not sure any one in the league right now would care that Golden State does not have a bench anyway

Are we going to dance Zanku here today?

Hardetayour:
Klay is shooting bobbins this contract season. Would he still be offered a max by any team?

Man Klay was painful to watch yesterday. Everyone but Iggy pretty much. There are worse players than Klay on max deals but definitely if you're Golden State after winning a 4th ring in 5 years (assuming they win) do you pay Green and Klay max or look for affordable support cast to surround Steph and KD

Decale:
So nobody is gon talk about PG13??

He's having the season of his life...

MVP candidate.

Adiwana:
Let me correct this notion.Demands for Verses doesn't mean an artist is better.Any upcoming artist will kill to have a Drake verse on his song due to the flavour Drake brings with him and not generally because he's a better artist than let's say Kendrick Lamar.No true MC from the 90s will demand a verse from Drake over a Kendrick verse but today's generation of musicians will prefer a Drake verse over a K.Dot due to as I said what he brings to the table.

Demands for verses indicate respect from your peers. An important factor in any GOAT debate Are you trivializing that? Your Drake example does not apply to Jay Z as he's guest versed hardcore rappers, commercial rappers and rappers he's old enough to sire.

Adiwana:
Now to the issue of Jay and Nasir.This all depends on the perspective one looks at it.Career wise Jay has been better (Hits,Grammys,Better albums etc) but from a Hiphop perspective,No jay Album comes close to Illmatic.It was the first album to be considered a classic in hiphop and has been standard gauge in which classic hiphop albums are being used to measure in hiphop till date.Only albums to be put into same conversation is Lauren Hills "Misconception of Lauren Hill" and Kendrick's "TPAB".Reasonable Doubt is a classic but no true hiphop head will measure it up will Illmatic.

The Chronic was not a classic? Lol what is this blasphemy!
You people keep making the criminal mistake of judging a rapper off of one seminal work. It's why Nas's career was also in ICU till his Jay Z beef and it's also why he couldn't keep up the momentum after the beef died down. I judge rappers over their overall body of work. You can't sit there and tell me Lauryn Hill is the Greatest Female MC because of one album for example.
Even if you think Illmatic is the best thing since Gizdodo. I don't agree with that and unless there is a Hip-hop head association I don't know of that holds this opinion and is recognized by the UN then it's laughable to suggest Reasonable Doubt cannot be compared to Illmatic

Adiwana:
Jay's flows and rythms are a bite of B.I.G and many have even questioned his originality.No hiphop artist comes close to lyricism and story telling than Nas in hiphop

These are all bare lies peddled by Jay's haters. How do you wax 13 albums (4-5 classics) off another person's style? Does that even add up.

Adiwana:
Jay's Dead Presidents was a Nas song and in hiphop it's a taboo for an mc to Jack off another Mcs style not to even talking about how Nas obliterated him when they went toe to toe in their beef that even artists from Jay's camp confirmed that Nas won the beef which itself is a huge statement.That song till today is also arguably the biggest beef/rap song of all time

Haba! What is this myth you're propagating. He used a line to make a chorus! Rappers do this all the time. Using your logic we can also say Nas was jacking Kurtis Blow and Grandmaster Flash on his It was Written album.

This is the same Nas that suddenly switched to gang and mafioso rap when he saw that it was the in thing in rap. Calling himself Nas Escobar. Lmaooo

That's who you are presenting as a bastion of originality? Abeggi

I don't care who won their beef. Buster Douglas once knocked out Tyson. Nobody would put him ahead of Tyson. Again when judging rappers I consider their entire work!! Not one hit album or a good diss track! This is why people rate C.Ronaldo, Messi, Jordan, Tom Brady as the best ever in their fields. Consistency and longevity. Not telling me about Illmatic of 1994

Adiwana:
So in all in all,it all depends on your perspective.I may go in terms of artistry,you may go in terms of achievements.Its a tough nut to crack and we both may not be wrong

Fair enough

raumdeuter:
I prefer Lucas to Pavard but Lucas is 85M and 35M for Pavard but for 35M you can hardly get anyone cheaper

I think we need to move for Werner this summer too. Management is thinking by the time the big clubs enter market in summer, prices will be crazy

Madrid and Man Utd are likely going to splurge so better to complete your deals early before they enter

James -45M
Pavard -35M
Lucas 80M
Werner - 80M
Harvetz - 60M

Spending 300M

Out
Robben
Ribery
Boateng
Hummels
Wagner
.

Atletico need to fuq off with that BS. Nobody ought to pay €85m for Lucas no matter what. If not that football has gone to shyte I wouldn't pay €35m for Pavard either. He's not impressed this season (admittedly he's in a bad team)

Who are our scouts? And what is our scouting network like? If we have one. Why is it that we have not been able to unearth even a backup CB since Badstuber?

I don lose interest in Werner make I no lie for you. Provided Lewandowski stays healthy his style of play should age well. The guy I feel we absolutely have to get is Havertz. We can even do a reverse Mbappe type deal and leave him at Leverkusen for another season or two. That boy is Mueller's direct replacement and we must not let him leave Germany

raumdeuter:
Frankfurt put us under a lot of pressure in the first 20mins, after that we settled into the game and matched them. We are becoming more defensively solid

There was a save Neuer made that made me go. Ok maybe this guy is not done after all

chic2pimp:
What! He wants to fight Femooo? He'd simply Get destroyed. Infact He'd do well to stay way clear of the the top three lads in the division. Judging from tonight's Fight, Wilder would be the most dangerous of the three for Him to face. He would be Wilder's ideal punchingbag opponent. A fighter with no technique or defence. A Street Brawler.

Lool Wilder would toe-tag Whyte. He doesn't want that smoke at all

HanksAnuku:
Wilder dey chase Fury apparently.

I see AJ gapping off at the mouth about Wilder and Whyte...man no wan talk about Gypsy king

Lool if I'm AJ I want to unify the belts before facing Fury. It's not even fear just common sense

Unless AJ thinks his chain is too Frank Brunoesque I don't see why he would be scared to fight a Fury he can actually drop if he hangs around long enough

chic2pimp:
Yh But Adetokunbo can play as either a Small Forward or a Point Forward whilst AD plays either as a PF or a Centre. I do get what you are saying though but my Guess would be they'd surround the Duo with shooters.

Unless Giannis plays at SF sha. AD hates playing at Center though. I guess it can work out but floor spacing is certainly going to be an issue especially in close game scenarios

HanksAnuku:
Whyte just dey demo

AJ done it before, and you will be kpokpod again

If I'm AJ I have zero incentive to fight Whyte. Wilder should be the only target

nihilistjnr:
and got a punch to back of his head for his troubles

Omo Dillian get iron chin o. Chisora don land enough valium shots and nothing happened

Lol credit to Chisora. He never does boring fights. Win, lose or draw. He really exerted a shitload of energy trying to get the KO

Dilian get very strong chin sha. And that hook if you notice did not even land clean and complete. Chisora for don need stretcher

Omo Chisora don first us enter New Year oh. #PrayForChisora

Why Chisora dey throw low blows? He wan DQ himself?

nihilistjnr:
Chisora is ahead for me sha. Nigger has been landing liver shots all night.

Whyte may be dead before the championship

Chisora making too many mental mistakes. He is trying to land a KO by all means. Did you see how he spun 360 trying to land that hook?

nihilistjnr:
Chisora didn't come to play o

O boy.


This ain't boxing.This is a car park brawl

Walahi this fight cannot go 12 rounds. This is actual war! No finesse nothing, just two guys beating each other to a pulp

Melvyn11:
No wonder man city will never win anything in Europe. Epl is the most overhyped and useless league in the world. Liverpool has conceded 7 goals in 18 games. while psg scored 4 in 2 matches against them. What a joke

Hehehehe

Neymar1095:
Liverpool lost away at Napoli, PSG and Red Star Belgrade. Van Dijk played all those matches. Full minutes.
But he's the world's best defender because he kept a clean sheet against Wolves lol.

Lmaooo I just tire. This thing be like swear. Once you shine vs Wolves, Bournemouth you are the best thing since Gizdodo

chic2pimp:
Nah His Game would mash well with Adetokunbo's. The main reason being Gannis is a dominant ball handler whilst Davis is not.

I guess we would see. I was coming from the angle of how they get to the basket though and the fact that they play the same position

Khanben:
After 30+ games it seems that of all the sophomores D Fox has taken the biggest stride to taking his game to the next level. Though in the long run i still think that Tatum will end up being the best player from that class (baring any injuries)

I thought so too but right now I'm not so sure.

This season guys like Kuzma as well as Fox have also closed the gap

Weird nobody is talking about Donovan Mitchell. Arguably ROY last year. Personally I think the hype is getting to his head. He has taken inefficiency to another level this season, he must think he is Kobe for some reason but he seems to have issues dealing with honest feedback about his poor shot selection

Roland17:
A lot of open tampering and the NBA .

First, Bron openly speaks about AD joining the Lakers and the Lakers front office have been talking about AD all week.

Next, Giannis openly admits to speaking to AD about joining him in Milwaukee.

Come on now! These guys should get fined because this is disrespectful to the Pelicans whom he still plays for.

AD would likely leave the Pelicans. E don do wetin he fit do for them. I'd love for him to go to Milwaukee but his game is a mirror image to Giannis. He just has a little more range otherwise they are pretty much the same everywhere else so it would be interesting to see how they fit

I can easily see him going to LA.

Ohh and word on the street is we're trying to get either or both Lucas and Pavard in January

When Ribery scores a brace and Rafinha flukes his way to another goal then you know say water don pass garri.

For me this was arguably our best performance thus far this season. Very encouraged by this showing and a pretty decent way to end what's been a rather rough year


PS: We are still not extending you Ribery

https://fcbayern.com/us/news/2018/12/press-release-fc-bayern-and-karl-heinz-rummenigge-extend-contract

Always knew he would extend

chic2pimp:
Come and See Bar.....Atta Boy!

They can be touched sha. Na just injury go determine everything and if Kovac's brain is working

Lana1:
Where is Patagigan?? We wont see him today but except him to reappear next week when Arsenal wins again.

It is what it is!!

Don't mind that prolapsed anus of a human being. Southampton and Tottenham have led him into a Warapacious state

This Liverpool defense is suspect. Lewandowski won't miss these chances
Second assist for Götze. Dortmund 2-1 up

Small fear dey catch me for this Liverpool team oh. Fabinho hold that midfield like Biya take dey hold Cameroon hostage

Götze just came off the bench to set up Sancho.

Counterintuitive to our title hopes I'm glad to see my boy Götze back and balling. The kid has been through a lot

Decale:
Lmao


Exactly how I told my Detroit friend.

Be happy now cos Griffin is playing at an amazing level now. When playoffs come, his knees go japaa

I still prefer Griffin. He's at least 4 years younger and can still carry an offense

birdman:
Knowing CP3, our season is in jeopardy if no one else steps up.

I now understand people that say CP3 is selfish on the down low. He is a great teamate on an off the court, but you just get this feeling he bails out on you if his comfort is even threatened a little bit.

I am not suggesting he play through injury, but the abruptness with which he packs it in is odd to me. No looking at teamates, or going to the bench or saying anything...the first sign of trouble, just walks to the lockeroom straight.

Lmaooo what would you have him do? That's probably the 9867th time he's having that injury. He obviously had no choice and knew it too. Probably frustrated with everything.

Expecting a Michael Carter Williams or Brandon Knight to step up is a bit of a stretch. I know getting so close to toppling Golden State likely dictated the sentiment of extending CP3 but this record of always getting hurt at the most inopportune time has always been the bane of CP3.

No matter how good you are availability is still the best Ability
