Kawhi must really feel at home... I see him staying with the Raptors

Talk about "Clutch" Tatum. With less than 20 seconds left and the game on the line, this kid went to the free throw line 4 times, made 3 and intentionally misses the 4th so the game clock runs out.

Exactly, I've just gone back to your earlier posts and you r so spot on. Without Harden, this team will not make the playoffs. Maybe na that Melo with his ill luck effect grin grin. They could not even close the gap when Blazers rested the starters..

They are now asking for E. Gordon to be included in the package.

More showed how desperate he was early in the negotiations. I say we walk away

Worse actually. Critical glue pieces left. I have no idea why anyone thought adding melo was an upgrade on anything
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 1:38pm On Oct 31, 2018
With the Rockets I think any team missing the MVP and CP3 would obviously struggle. Plus CP3 is also struggling with his shooting. However the truth is the team is woefully lacking in depth. And as CP3 advances in age that $40m would only look worse

Lol @ Kyrie. I was happy to see him knock down some of his jumpers. I still think he needs to find his lost perimeter scoring, particularly from yonder.. Jalen has also been aggressive and not deferring his shots which I like.

These players can be so unreasonable at times. I'm sure the Bulls must be thanking their stars.

I think after refusing the Timberwolves offer in the summer it became evident he had no interest in staying, but at the very least honor your deal till the end of the season. I don't think any smart GM would trade for Butler at this point and risk getting fleeced so I don't know why he is going out of his way to put the team in a tight spot

This is where I have a problem with Adam Silva's leadership of the NBA. Under D. Stern, this nonsense will definitely not happen because he empowered and supported a lot of the owners in their decisions, particularly the financial and business aspects. NBA players wield too much power and most have lost loyalty, discipline and professionalism. Now you have players choosing to sit to force a move, worse still, they tell you where they want to play. Butler, Kawhi and other similar situations frustrate me and many other old schooled fans. He freaking signed a contract with the Wolves, he needs to adhere to the terms of the contract, This is becoming very disgraceful as the players are dominating and controlling the affairs of the league.

Silver is too liberal and left leaning and they usually don't know where to draw the line

It's insane and that is why people go on about the owners and all but they don't talk about the excesses of the players. This is a league unlike the NFL where every dollar is guaranteed. Why would a healthy player just up and refuse to come to work! It's madness

I will always side with players over owners. Players have a 10 year shelf life, barring injury. Butler needs to negotiate his best deal now.

Gotta provide for the family undecided Nobody can accuse Butler of not giving this his best shot. I'm not a Butler fan buuuut, man I feel him. You have to get out of an uncomfortable situation and land where people value you

People did not value you in Chicago and now in Minnesota? Well, you better check yourself, maybe you are the problem. This is not about money in my opinion, Butler has made it clear that he does not like his team mates particularly the core guys.

I think you are being too hard on him. He felt like franchise players needed to step up, and he voiced it. Look, if KAT and Wiggins cant handle Butler's criticism, they should just give up hope of being great.

U right tho, it's not about the money. But I don't think it's about disliking his teammates. More like everyone is treating him like the bad guy because he's doing what a veteran should do. Speak up when things look funny.

Regardless how things turn out, Minny is in trouble. The franchise players will never be KG. Greatness does not just drop in your lap! Otherwise tmac would have multiple rings sad

Are the Bulls about to throw this W away? These Nuggets are for real, I keep saying it.
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 3:33am On Nov 01, 2018
The Bulls failed to box out Milsap who gets an offensive put back.

I would rather side with fairness. What these players earn in 10 years is beyond what 95℅ of us will ever earn. You signed a contract which means you have a job to show up and do what you're being paid to do or quit and find something else.

It's unprofessional and avaricious behavior
