Heard dirk could have gotten 31 million a year but opted for 20... i would have waited to see who cuban gets before deciding on how much i will take, knowing dirk though, he does not see it like that.

Anyways, Lebron started this whole thing of joining someone to go beat someone, and now everyone eye don open. Can't wait till the finals though, If KD wins, his chip
does not count to me though, unless he goes back and win one for OKC

$20m ain't a bad deal at 38. Shouldn't have taken that $25m 3 year deal to begin with but this is very reasonable compensation

Guy chip na chip ooh. Its not a given they would win. Plus he is joining a team with 3 core players that came from the draft. They started from the bottom and built brick by brick. Everyone can try to push for superstars but they can't? Cos they overachieved?

If Bron fans would count the Chips won with the Heat why I no go count Durant's

PORTUGAL star Renato Sanches is at the centre of a mystery concerning how old he is.
Well-respected French manager, Guy Roux — who spent an astonishing 46 years in charge of Auxerre — claimed the highly-rated Portuguese ace was actually 23 or 24, rather 18.
Renato Sanches has been hailed as a star for the future after impressive displays at Euro 2016
Sanches has been billed as one of the stars of the future after impressing at Euro 2016.
However, Roux believes the winger, who joined Bayern Munich recently for £27million, is currently reaching the prime of his career.
Speaking to Romanian site, Dolce Sport , he said: “Yes, he says he is 18 years old but he must look at his past.
“Sanches’ birth was declared many years later. The date is not true.
“I believe he is 23 or 24 years old — but he is a very good player.”

All the preparation CHelsea players did where did it land them? if they are crawling they would all be in their respective houses now

Boateng in his 4th semi final when would your useless Chelsea players even play one. Useless players like Terry, Cahill etc are they not footballers like Boateng how come Boateng is the one always remaining at the end of tournament while they are home



He has a genetic brain defect. Thats why he would come here shout Boateng, Muller and co yet go outside and still put his hard earned money on it

I really don't know what he takes that makes his head rowdier than African Shrine on Felabration Friday and Sunday night

No Joke, David west is coming to Warriors on Vet Deal.. Everyone wants a part of it and it's beginning to scare. Now much caution is needed.

Woooow. What a Finals loss can do ehn.

From Barnes, Bogut and Ezeli to Durant, West and Pachulia

That front office no forgive Barnes and Ezeli for that finals loss rara

[color=#808000]People using rings to define greatness. Dirk above Malone? Okay ooo

In fact O'Neal > Olajuwon
Billups > CP3
O'Neal > Wilt and finally,
Horry > Jordan

Ooh Mpa don talk am, make nobody counter am[/color]

Later you go dey ask person if he fit read. Who used rings to put Dirk over Malone?

What are the accolades Malone won that Dirk didn't? Aside all defensive team

Regular season MVP and Finals MVP na him you dey disrespect

O'Neal is very comparable to Olajuwon. I'm not too sure what you are on about. He has more rings, more points and more Finals MVP

You come dey mention Horry who was never the 3rd best player on his team to compare Jordan. Smh

raumdeuter:
Leave the omugo afofungbemu alone maybe he would be soon tell us Baggio is the reason he changed his fickle mind

Upon all the agidi wey he dey do like Kunta Kinte he no even shame to talk am for outside say he still went back to bet on Germany. What a nuisance

SIRcumalot:
@A40
the equivalent of what KD did is if bron joined the 08celtics that defeated him the ECF.
if that team never won the ship.
too many MVP's in the Jordan draft merger.
but with the Celtics it is the right amount KG and bron.

alot of this stuff will blow over once KD assume is role as the best player on the warriors and start winning FMVP.
we all thought Miami was going to be power sharing between wade,bosh and bron. but that wasn't how it played out.

That is to you. And knowing LeBron very well he could have. Its just that cap space no go gree am. You think if the Cavs had cap room they wouldn't have gone for another star?

What right amount? Why una dey do double standards like this. A lot of them did not become MVPs till midway into their career and also endured growing pains. Neither the Celts or LeBron and Cavs fans are fit to crucify K.D. They have all taken the easier route and no one is better than the other

Wade handed the keys of that team to LeBron don't gawk it

airmark:
You dont know how stuffs work. i did live bet on that day, minutes to match is best time to stake, i did n't know del rossi would miss the match. Now its for you to condemn uefa rating because of your alago . Continue, let's see another stunt in the offing from boathand against france. Neuer as usual will come to his rescue.

SIRcumalot:
I didn't get the bolded.

LeBron is above Kobe it isn't even close I don't want to get into anything but I understand if you think differently you are wrong, but I understand. .

Spurs,lakers had great front office
what did you think the Dwight,nash and Kobe Lakers year was about ?
Jordan and Duncan were consulted before major changes to their roster.
doing this isn't a bad thing,it is your legacy on the line not that of your supporting cast.

plenty as been said about LeBron 60 win cavs just go and check the roster.

A.I took a worse roster to the Finals. Tell us another story

SIRcumalot:
why do you frame bron actions in such negative light? if I was still on the wagon I would be forced to start tackling all this point.


A40 stop pushing this LeBron draft class stuff
we know which team is better.
in fact,in you add Melo from the same draft class This unholy alliance go still kill them.

KD action is the same as Bron I supported Bron then I won't tackle KD now.

I'll probably be cheering for the LA clippers this season.

I never critiqued LeBron for bolting to the Heat, I could care less where he opted to play. However when people start comparing him to M.J, Kobe etc that is when I bring that up

I only resurrected that topic when I observed that it was Holier than thou LeBron fans that were making the most noise about Durant. No one has provided a credible explanation on why joining with not one but the 2 guys who were supposed to be your competition is better than Durant joining a Golden State no one expected to win 73 games to start with.

Again this is the equivalent of Olajuwon joining up with M.J and Barkley or Ewing in their respective primes

nairamaniac:
Sorry for late response. I WD never HV 4given myself if I never replied
You made some excellent and salient point. Your argument beats mine hands down.
Infact, before ur posts I used to place Dirk somewhere at 4th or 5th. But now he's either tied wt Malone or at worst 5th.

Just so u know, I'm in agreement with you on placing Stockton at top3.
But believe me, malone created most of his shots. For the fact u see Stockton at all time 2nd on assist shdnt tk anything from Malone.

Well, maybe I'm a bit sentimental and biased towards Malone cos he put me at the edge of my seat for like 2straight finals against my greatest JORDAN.

He actually went pound 4 pound on scoring against Jordan in those finals.

You made mention of Dirk along with Petit and Olajuwon being the only ones in 25point 10rebound class in playoffs. It made me immediately research on Shaq, Kareem and Malone. I could swear b4 that these 3 also made it.

Unfortunately, I was wrong. Kareem did 24.3point, 10.5rebounds,
Malone did 24.7, 10.7rebounds. Meaning these two missed it by whiskers on points-stats. But they were both the closest to it.

But you obmitted Shaq from your list. He did with 25.2points, 12.1rebounds.

All in all, thanks for the lesson.

Eruditor my mvp, Loj, smooshCHN, lolawilliam, mizzzbeee, and everyone of u on this thread are wonderful.
Please Forgive my inconsistencies, for i wd rather enjoy u guys than say anything anything much.

Cheers!

Well, the latest buzz is Durant being in golden state. What can I say? In today's game its allowed. There used to be something like club-loyalty. But It been thrown away .
There used to be a time when the best players wanted to beat themselves. Now u see them wanting to play next to themselves. Can't blame Durant. Its because emphasis on greatness is now defined by rings. I'm not one of them though.

Its gonna be one of the best starting 5's the league has ever seen. I can't get angry with Durant. Im his biggest fan. He deserves a ring. Just that I never expected him to bend this far to get it.

Well Let's all c how it goes.

Every contribution is welcome. There is no one here that knows it all. Everyday I come here I pick up something new from every poster on this page and that is the beauty of it. You have made lots of sound contributions on this page and I'm sure I speak for everybody here

Maybe due to my German bias and just because Dirk na humble and quiet guy but the guy is too underrated. I look at his career and in his prime his team's second best players oscillated between Josh Howard and Jason Terry. Yet look at his achievements.

About Durant I can get OKC fans being disappointed, a Durant fan can also be disappointed it boils down to preference but you need to see Cavs fans or should we say LeBron fans raking and venting on social media. And I'm like wetin concern una with where Durant wan play? Is it his fault that they don't have cap space and why are they so angry. One mumu friend of mine who be diehard LeBron fan said he was disappointed in Durant and I was like. Da phuq?

Decale:
They won 61 games not 66 and lost in the semis to 4th placed Boston (not Magic, my mistake) who had 50 wins, the equivalent of 8th place OKC. Cavs were messed up and Lebron chickened his way out.

KD just upgraded his "chickenry"

God forbid say Warriors re-sign Barnes.
Why Celtics or Heat? Better chance of reaching the finals than with Westbrook or in the West

When these excuses go finish? I didn't say which season he won 66 games so I am still on course. He left after 66 and 61 win seasons and on both occasions the Cavs had the best regular season record. K.D has only had that once and that was in the Western conference alone before Westbrook got hurt in the 2nd round

These guys play this game for rings. And I'm sure if K.D went to the East critics would still talk and say he chose the easier conference. You cannot please everybody and that is the truth. He chose the team that gives him the best shot at a ring which LeBron has done TWICE. So make una bone that thing

airmark:
Read my last comment again. It seems you have problems comprehending simple statements. I always have my bets on germany, against italy i won it as i entered germany to qualify. so how you chop my stake? .
As regards your calamitous alago, there is nothing like redeemed himself. He pushed his colleagues into unneccessary 30 minutes of running around. Experts wont view a penalty kick as enough, it was n't even a winning kick. Uefa immediately demoted him to number 47 performer after the match with smalling rated above him. Uefa wont tolerate volleyballers on the field.

airmark:
This is how you always get it wrong. No one is concerned about a world cup winning defence of two years ago, the argument is about the german defence of euros 2016. Are things very difficult to grasp for you ? Italy has played two of the top rated teams in the competition and did n't concede a goal. Milik and lewandowski who boateng and hummels left with goal post yawning were not ready to score. I am staking 10k on italy winning germany because i cant see italian strikers not beating boateng that day. This is the first true test your defenders will have and it will be their last in the tourney

Iro kuku ti fo gbogbo agbari e. You staked on Germany yet you have been crying more than the bereaved all over the forum. You are either a bipolar nitwit who lacks the heart or conviction to back your stance or a career liar so choose one.

Did Germany qualify or not? Abi wetin concern us with UEFA Barometer abi na Thermometer. Boateng would be playing another semi final that is what we care about

Decale:
Bros, to be sincere I don't like Lebron that much but I have to admit Durant move was way worse than Lebron's

Warriors is a 73 win team before KD, Heat had 47 wins before LeBron and struggled
Warriors now have the last 2 MVPs in their primes, one of the top 5 greatest shooters, a finals mvp plus a triple double all star, Heat bin only get Big 3 and an ageing Allen
Leave that regular season record, no be majority of East dem play? Cavs then wasn't that good and were outplayed by Magic who in turn got swept by Lakers

OKC was a championship team and with the right players can be better, so is the Warriors. In fact, Warriors has a better chance of beating Cavs next season even without Durant. On the other hand, Heat then wasn't a championship side and Cavs wasn't without LeBron.
The best team for Durant would've been in the East probably Celtics or Heat sef.

I'm not saying Lebron wasn't an idiot but you're using your hatred for the king to argue with sentiments

Lol. Story for the gods / The gods oh

Durant's move was not in anyway worse. Its just a matter of people having double standards. Steph, Klay and Draymond were all drafted by the Warriors. Their financial prudence and increasing cap is why they can afford all 4. So after building the right way through the draft they can't make moves for a franchise player like K.D? Abi make K.D retire without ring? LeBron I repeat went to a 47 win team with two guys in the top 5 of his draft class. I am still waiting for someone to show me where else this has ever happened in the NBA?

So it is ok for Bron to leave a Championship team Cavs with 66 wins in a season. Than for Durant to leave a team he had only helped to a Final once after 9 years in the league

Why were Celtics and Heat the best team for Durant to go and who make una judge and jury of that.

So the Warriors should have passed on Durant to pay Barnes $23m, Durant should have moved to the East or stayed at OKC with Westbrook who becomes a UFA next year. I hear you

airmark:
I have always put my stakes on germany, cos no matter what happens i will still win. If germany loses i will be happier, if they dont i will be richer. If there is option of boateng committing blunder in a tough match, the odd will be 1.01 and i will max bet on it. henceforth, boateng should be training with cuffs in his wrist.

That means I was among those wey chop your stake on Italy. Wise people never bet against Germany.

Boateng made a blunder but redeemed himself in the shootouts. He might make the odd error but at least we know he is not a mental midget like John Racist

airmark:
Then Italians should have been asking where is Pirlo, england should have been asking where is lampard. You are just senseless. We were talking about players missed due to injuries, not retirement, you are just ridiculously silly with this post. Done with you, it's a brand new week. I need to engage with sensible peeps.

All these winning arguments by all means method of you and ramuzaki self. Eleyi gidi gan o.


Imagine in order to quickly impress his master, ancelotti is already using boateng week in week out in his brain.

Apa ni e se. How much did your dumbass lose betting against Germany.
Can you bet that BoaTANK would not start under Ancelotti

You have been wailing non stop and making all kinds of oloshious excuses. You no dey tire? When you were busy making mpotu pon the Bayern thread you didn't know Italy had injuries.

You are just a brainless winking phaggot. I have never seen you make any sensible contribution to any footie debate on this forum. All you do is drop ret@rded snide remarks like an Alabosi and wink at other grown men. What a Weist

raumdeuter:
A40

What do you think of

----Howedes--Boateng--Mustafi
KImmich--Kroos---Can/Schweini---Hector
-----Draxler--Muller--Ozil

Losing Gomez, Khedira, Hummels we would be losing 3 guys 6ft2 and above while France would be bringing all their giripa

We would be losing a lot of physicality and aerial presence and we have to find a way to neutralize them. It would be nice to catch them on counter hopefully Muller and co would have their shooting boot on and take our chances,

The French are weak aerially in defence but Gomez wont be there to take advantage

The link up play of Gomez sef na him don impress me pass him aerial ability. Let us just hope the real Thomas Mueller stands up. I don't recognize that guy I'm seeing on the pitch

I'm worried about playing all 3 of the available CB's at once. However this formation can also work.

Remains to be seen if Schweinsteiger can play but he is a warrior. My worry is if he would be able to cope with the intensity of the French. I would advocate for a guy like Schuerrle starting, a workaholic is necessary in that middle. He also has the pace to take on Evra

raumdeuter:
Where were the two when COsta Rica was sodomising them in the world cup

Don't mind Airmark he is still salty cos his dumbass lost money betting against Germany

All these posts and blast from the past are his way of dealing with the pain. I was one of those wey chop him dollar

Gomez came in from offside position to bring down Neuer's long ball.

IF...

This is the one term I hate using in football debates. If...

If Higuain and/or Messi was remotely clinical in WC final 2 years ago, would raumdeuter be disturbing us nonstop here?

If Pelle didn't take that comical PK 2 nights ago, we go dey yarn all this long yarns?

Make I continue with more IFs?

How many chances did Higuain have? Even Messi? Germany hit the bar, Goetze, Kroos hit tame shots that my grandma would catch so just negodu

Before Pelle's miss were Oezil and Mueller. Bottomline the better team won both games,

Looks like as Bogut went to the Mavs. Zaza Pachulia moved to GS. 1 year/$2.9m

Bob Myers is a phuckin genius.

29.9m for K.D and Pachulia who was a double double machine till after the all star break

While the Mavs are to pay $34m for two players who couldn't combine for 20pts last season. Smh

Manutd19:
you are right. Manutd were so hated during the fergie era by rival fans. Why? Cos they're always winning and scares people. Post fergie era, we were bn pitied mostly.....lol
experience the ha

That is human being for you. The reaction to K.D's move na another reminder

Ol boy I'm just here praying they make room for Dirk. Vets would be falling over themselves to come and play for a ring. In this era of mad money if you must spend at least know you are getting the best.

Timmy D mulling retirement. Ginobili at almost 39 wants to play one more year

I honestly don't know why these guys didn't retire after beating the Heat

OohMpa:
[color=#808000]Papi, you no fit read? Who's making up excuses for Lebron? Ooh Mpa just said his move was better than Durant's or you don forget say Heat was 5th that time for conference? Durant just waka go meet number 1 for NBA

As you talk say Durant need the hate now na hin Lebron use that hate win hin own, come back house win another one. Make we see Durant win hin own

P.S The guy said this few years ago. Na where the thing tire Ooh Mpa[/color]

After making megedefegede excuses you have the temerity to ask me mumu Jamb question. Are you drunk?

LeBron fans talmbout what he did is better than Durant. Have you ever seen where 3 of the top 5 picks in a draft year combine to join one team? That is like Olajuwon, M.J, Barkley combining to form a super team. What does it matter if they were 1st or 16th prior to K.D's arrival. Weren't the Cavs the owners of the best regular season record when he left? Even after seeing the Heat with Wade and Bosh were aging he came back to the Cavs who had a younger star in Kyrie knowing fully well attracting a 3rd star wouldn't be a problem so how is he better than K.D

Yes. Who love don epp? Kobe, San Antonio, LeBron have turned the hate directed their way to rings. I'm confident K.D can do the same and keep LeBron at 3

Manutd19:
Late to the party. Still find it hard to believe he chose warriors. Curry, Klay, Draymond, Durant...what a four! Officially the most hated nba team now

Na that hate the Warriors and K.D NEED RN. You see this life ehn if people don't hate you then trust me you are not getting it right. How you go around accumulating the hate is another matter entirely

OohMpa:
[color=#808000]Chai. Just imagine Westbrook now:

Mizzzbeee, Skywalker5, Smooshchn and other Warriors fans here, hope say una go keep kwayet about Lebron now and stop hating on him? At least Bron left a shitty team to form the big 3 while Durant is leaving a top 5 team to form the big 4. Na Thompson Ooh Mpa dey pity pass cos his numbers will so fall[/color]

Hahaha see excuse. He left the team he helped to back to back regular season best records to team up with 2 of the top 5 picks in his draft. I'm amused that LeBron fanboys are so mad at Durant. Some even say they are disappointed like they gave a rat's arse about K.D

A-40 does not hate LeBron for leaving the Cavs. The disrespect of Dirk, the ESPN hype, his diva tendencies and just the fact that you just hate who you hate plays a factor

Mizzzbeee:
That would be one hell of a dramatic season

OKC fans no chill

I told you. You have to go for K.D if he is available. Abeg make una pick up my boy Dirk biko

Lol. I'm not even suprised. This was the most probable outcome. Feel bad for Westbrook but it is what it is
