And if you are in a rebuilding mode, don't you get rid of Eli too and Barkley also to get more picks

Roland17:


I think the Giants should have moved on from Eli when the heat was on him 2 seasons ago but of course the media blew his benching out of proportion and he reclaimed his spot.
I think the Giants are in full rebuilding mode again if you look at the trades they have completed. I just feel bad for Barkley who may spend his prime playing for a non playoff team, especially if you consider the shelf life of a RB. They were few pieces away from being a good team.
The Giants gained in some sorts if you consider Odell is a diva and a lot of distraction and they are not sure about his health since his last surgery. I thought the Giants should have fought for the Foles sweepstakes but at some point they have to draft a good QB.
The Browns are getting rewarded for all the tanking they allowed us endure. Hopefully they can put it together and compete in the AFC North.

they really should have . The dude was crying after being benched, so.... even me I felt bad for him, but am still trying to understand how you trade away your best player. Are skill position players that expendable? Wr is a different animal from rb ...dare i say they are after the qb, maybe the left tackle, then the wr on the order of importance. The giants are just poorly run...this is a classic case of another qb getting what he wants. They(obj and Manning were not on very good terms last season) good riddance to manning- a QB that was never even elite( someone who won 2 Superbowls and still is not a shoo-in for HOF). I like this deal for obj, a much better qb and you can't double him when you have Jarvis Landry to worry about and calloway ain't no joke either

Odell beckham traded to Cleveland browns!!! . Whats going on? Is it Eli Manning get his way or what? Another qb that Cant do no wrong? I don't understand o....

Why didn't Belichick take away Julio Jones in the Superbowl? The truth is Antonio Brown is easier to shutdown than the likes of Jones and Hopkins. I'm a Steelers fan and I've seen Antonio get locked down by lesser defensive masterminds than Bill Belichick.

No long yarning. Ben has shown he can win in the past. Let Antonio Brown go and prove he can without Ben

are you saying they are better? Not Hopkins . The dude just got a good qb- deshaun Watson, so let's see how It goes when they start getting to the playoffs regularly, but Julio Jones is better than Antonio brown? Receiving yards? Maybe, but overall production goes to ab

whoa!!! I ain't going there o. Julio Jones is mind bending awesome(they did lose and heartbreakingly at that Sha). And hopkins? The dude has glue in his hands. I think maybe bill has more film on them- the same division and all and it's not like ab has being a dud against them...far from it. The ish is that Brady has always outdueled big Ben and it ain't close. Hopefully, it goes well for both of them in their respective teams. Got no bone in this at all...colts all the way for me!

A40:
He's a locker room nuisance. Just watching his statements and videos since this whole thing started. If you're a team interested in winning forget it! You can't win with Antonio Brown. He's always been about his numbers whether the team wins or not.

true that! Diva wr don't win on the big stage, but the Steelers have been unlucky to be in the same division with a team that had bill belichick and Tom brady( Patriots) and belichick has always done what he knows best- take away your best weapon which has been AB and allow big Ben to beat them with his arms which we both know how that has ended and injuries too have played a role in this guys not winning together

A40:
Is that why he quit on the team on the last week of the season? Is that why he has been acting like a lunatic attacking journalists, missing team meetings and behaving like a douchegoblin?

If you want more money there are mature ways you can go about it instead of bringing an organization and their QB to disrepute. We Steelers fans are ready for a fresh start. Antonio Brown does not exist to us. The Steelers have a conveyor belt of receivers so can't be bothered

it was not about what obj and Hopkins were making per year per se, but the guranteed money. They did give him a 19 million signing bonus( his last extension with the Steelers), but that was all. That was the guranteed upfront. The new salary is actually 18.333 million,( and you need incentives to get to that- pro bowl and all) and obj makes 18 million per year. so it really was about the guranteed money. And we both know he ain't no big Ben, so the Steelers could not do anything to that contract.

yes! Read it too. You could check the one on theringer.com. very nice and even bleacher report did one too and even though they all acknowledge that AB was childish and immature ...they all agreed on various points 1. Most prolific receiver in this era. 2. Made big Ben looked much better than he really was. This was a dude who went 9-21 in a Superbowl with 2 interceptions. And that guranteed money also

A40:
Lmaooo Golden State blew a 16pt lead to the Suns

Khanben:



AB has been underpaid for about 10 years now compared to other WR of his talent. In a sport where career ending injury can happen any time, I appreciate the broda wanting to get paid. The deal with the raiders was simply about money nothing else if the steelers were willing to pay him what comparable talents were earning I doubt he would have even demanded for a trade in the first place.

straight up bro! No guarantees in that contract with the Steelers. Heard 30 million plus in his new contract with the raiders. Who could blame him? He's almost 31 and maybe have 2 or 3 years of elite play.

A40:
Why should I like a guy that burned bridges at a team that paid him twice.

If you double JuJu Smith then more food for the other tight ends and receivers. The NFL is the ultimate team sport.

What people are not getting in this matter is that Big Ben made Antonio Brown not the other way round. Absence of AB means less forced throws and more balanced targets and ball distribution. Ben has thrown over 300 TDs and 50k yards

The Steelers offense was strong in the 2008-2009 Superbowl season. It wasn't just the defense

let's wait and see now... Am chomping at the bit for the new season to start. So many juicy on field drama

A40:
Lol Raiders don enter one chance. Thank God that diva has left the team for my boy Juju Smith to shine! He is not a team player and anybody signing him can forget about winning anything

lmao. Smh. You really don't like the guy very much Sha ...and speaking of juju, double coverages everywhere o. Cornerbacks with safeties on top? That sounds like a dicey situation all around. And a 37 year old qb who has never being great(good, not great) would put you over the top? Defense has been the calling card for the last 2 Superbowls wins, so maybe they would go back to it. P.s James Washington is going to be the WR2

speaking in tongues is not a gift but rather a sign of the believer! If you give your life to Christ you can speak in tongue freely.

But if you are catholic kind of christain! Forget it.

it's for all. "Am going to send a comforter who is going to be with you at all times" Jesus was love- pure and unadulterated love ...he came for everybody, so it really is for everybody that proclaim that he is the son of only and true God!!!

Antonio brown traded to Oakland raiders!!!! With an increase in base salary and guarantees . Am happy for him o

1st peter 3:15 "always Revere Christ in your hearts. Always be prepared to give an answer to every one who asks you to give your reason for the hope that you have( Colossians 1: 27: Christ in me, the hope of glory) but do this with *gentleness and respect* . I hope the "unbelievers" ( it's harsh right? My atheist brethren? Hmmmm) But I hope you can come into the fullness of Christ which he bought with his body. Only he can fill the emptiness in our lives!

Lol, if you put Klay and AD for any coach in the NBA, they all take AD. Let's not even go there. Who shooting help? Can Klay lead a franchise? Why are we even arguing this, its embarrassing. AD is top five in the league. Klay? I say top 20. Lol, now I know you just came here to troll.

can't you read and understand? I said it was not about skill level to even start with. Who is arguing Abt AD and Klay like this? Are you just being contentious on purpose or what? I only talked Abt putting respect on Klay name. He's no joke at all. P.s who shooting help? Lolz. sheer ignorance of that statement? Chai! SMH

A40:
Steph's dad is also an analyst and color commentator with the Hornets. Maybe he would demand a trade home when Klay and KD leaves

lmao!!! He might o. Just pull an AD and ask for it

They could get Jimmy Butler and his pick and roll/isolation sets complaints . Would serve them right. LeBron could win a championship with him, right? He is the self proclaimed king!

A40:
I was going to suggest Jimmy Butler and Kemba Walker.

I don't know how anyone would think a drama free ninja like Klay Thompson would want to be a part of that circus. Why should I team up with a 35 year old ninja? Who is high maintenance and full of drama

Klay does not jibe at all with that culture. I think it's becos of his dad, him being a Laker radio analyst. But even at that, not Lakers pls.. never Lakers!

A40:
I don't like San Antonio's chances even against Denver. I hate to scapegoat Isaiah Thomas but his return has really ruined that team's chemistry. If they can sit him I think they stand a better chance

San Antonio's defense is a bit weak. And DeRozan is just a post season mental midget. He has refused to get a 3pt shot and this can hurt him again especially if the refs swallow their whistles.

and there is just something about Denver that rubs me all wrong. Maybe it's becos am not that sold on that team. Nikola jokic? I think that go get it mentality is not there *yet* the assertiveness!!! And jamal Murray? Still so inconsistent. Maybe they would prove me wrong . I hope they do...

steady986:

There's something you guys don't understand. It's not about playing with Lebron. It's about playing for the purple and gold, the greatest franchise in the world. It's a dream come true for them. Unless they all want to play for the Lakers when they're 36, now is the time. And they have a higher chance of winning the ring with Lebron whether you believe it or not. Forget o, these players don't think like you fans. If AD can be willing to lose his starting berth and a lot of money just because he wants to play with Lebron and the Lakers, who the f*ck is Klay? Abegi

are you even hearing yourself? This is unreal to me . . Do you really believe this? Since when did AD become Klay? Is it about skill level now? And who the f*uck is Klay? Just about the 2nd greatest shooter of all time ...a 3 time nba champion. You better come correct and put respect on that name

A40:
Lmaooooo. This guy is in La-la land. Dream come true for who? This guy you're seriously living in the past if you think players nowadays care about the past history of any team. Nobody cares!!

Maybe you're forgetting KD, Paul George declined to even meet with the Lakers to listen to their pitch.

AD is the only guy who cares to play with LeBron. Klay, Kawhi, KD, Paul George are more interested in beating him than boosting his legacy. This they have proven way beyond a reasonable doubt. None of those elite players are interested in being LeBron's apprentice unlike AD

case closed!!! La-la land o. . Brother!!!!!!!!! All true! The truth is dripping off your statement. Sheesh! Ain't arguing with the guy again o... The brother is jonesing on LeBron too much. Riding high on what LeBron is selling... How can you continue to be this disillusioned? Klay? Rotfl. And Irving and kawhi? SMH. Maybe the best they can get is Jimmy Butler

ipledge10:
He is so underrated.They used to say he is a catch and shoot guy, but this season he shows what he can do.

seriously. And such an underrated defender too.

steady986:

It's not always about the money. Klay is an LA native. He might not come to LA next year but he certainly harbours that thought. And Kyrie is cool with Lebron now, don't you watch TV? I even forgot to mention Kawhi, he definitely has LA on his mind.

I hear you bro. Believe whatever makes you happy. And no I don't watch TV.

ipledge10:
I came here few weeks ago about my friend that said Danny Green is a better 2 way player than Klay Thomson....

This is what he sent me today

lol. Danny green? Klay Thompson is so underrated, it's annoying. We saw what we were without him this past few games and it was not pretty at All.

steady986:

Klay Thompson is considering the Lakers too. Even Kyrie has reconciled and is willing to team up again.

bro! "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone" who is now believing the media now ( you did accuse me of that during LeBron stint as a gm trying to ship that whole team for "ad" Klay coming to Lakers? Why? Is it the culture that he would be enamored with?(lmao) or is it the money? Gsw can offer more money or what exactly? I don't get o...pls explain. Gee, am sorry...a chance to play with LeBron right? Lolz. Off with LeBron tinted glasses you wearing and try to see things as they truly are...and Kyrie? We have seen how that story ends before

Everything!

A40:

The LeBron that is not doing well with the Lakers despite having Ingram, Rondo, Kuzma will suddenly do well without CP3 and Capela? Are you kidding me right now?

Eric Gordon also missed 14 games btw. Which means there were games James Harden was missing all 3 (Capela, Gordon, CP3). Lmaooo Ariza has left the Rockets since last season!! Gerald Green? Don't make me lose appetite please

How old was Luke when he was leading Golden State to a 39-4 record? If you were a boss I'm sure you would not tolerate all these excuses you're serving for LeNomad

What stopped your LeNomad from embracing this team and leading them to the promise land? You guys swore he can lead any team to the playoffs. While we told you he was benefiting from a rubbish Eastern Conference where teams 4 games behind .500 are in playoff positions

Who are the all Stars for the Jazz and Clippers? The fact is LeNomad's terrible leadership completely wrecked a salvageable situation. The excuse last season was he needed more playmakers and players that could create offense on their own, they gave him playmakers and the excuse now is he needs more shooters! Same shooters he had in Cleveland. Sheesh!

he basically created this roster. Magic Johnson and Rob pelinka alluded to that, so the flaws and loopholes on this team are somewhat on him. I think he banked on his greatness a bit too much... Trying to over extend on how great he thinks he is. Welcome to the western conference, LeBron James!

steady986:

Lebron would have done equally well with this Rockets team without CP3 and Capela. They have Eric Gordon who can go for 30 on a good day. Gerald Green, Trevor Ariza...come on. Forget what you hear of this Lakers team, they can't play sh*t. It needs total overhauling. Plus the coaching, let's not forget that Luke is barely the same age with most of the players. He's a baby when it comes to coaching, especially coaching a team filled with veterans who don't seem to want to take instructions from him. You can add to all these the instabilities the AD trade brought. There's just so many things wrong with this team. Let's wait 'til next season when we have a new coach, another all-star, a couple of shooters...then we can judge.

lebron would have done equally well on this rockets? na so. The love affair you have with the guy is still going very strong Sha. am not going to do this jire....LeBron just passed the goat(yes the GOAT!!!) On the scoring list, so am going to give the guy his due . He has done well for himself, but why are we are on this pls? again? Really?How many evidences do you need again? Came back when this team was at eight place o...not as if they were out of the playoff contention or something and he could do nada, zilch! And Ingram can't play? Are u hearing yourself? Kuzma? And them boys? (Do you have to put other players down to lift LeBron up?)maybe hes inconsistent, bt he's 21 for goodness sake! Continue to put LeBron James on an unreasonable pedestal o.

And his defense? Lord have mercy!!! Kuzma had to shove this guy to guard his man-ganillari against the clippers. I can see the "playoff mentality" he has activated! Very much so...

SIRcumalot:

You need a huge difference between your win and loss to cushion against the inevitable loss of form,bad road trip or whatever.
The Lakers in his absence blew that cushion.
The present team that he came back to isn't the same team mentally, that was fighting for 4th place.
The worst that would've happened is that they don't maintain the 4th place and slip to 6th or 7th. But they don't make the playoff! No way.

I agree with that point on them not being the same team mentally. "They are not babies"( magic Johnson said after the failed trade) SMH...bt don't do that pls. Don't make LeBron the victim in all this. He has not at all.. hes been a poison to that locker room(guys not making basketball their main priority? The hypocrisy of that statement stinks to the high mountains..."the shop?" Amongst many others and his on court field performance? Yeesh! Good numbers not great, it's not even translating to winning

Why can't this people (politicians) do this more when they are not compaigning?
