I'm tempted..... I could use a jet in my life

However, please sweeten your deal, I have a 100 of these lying around.

Might do a deal with 1 super Mushak for 100 of these, but the Gripen has to be included in one way or another.

On another note: curious why the flag was changed.

You are being difficult, practically gifting you jets with less than 100 hours on them for Gripens that have been heavily used.

Fine 10 for 24 and an Alpha Jet

Deal?

GreenandGold:
We do heights as well, just down the road

Isn't it amazing how we are all getting along like one happy family.

While in this good mood, can I interest you in a mutually beneficial swap deal?

13 Gripens for 24 unused Sepecat Jaguars what do you say, eh guys? @GreenandGold, @jl115

Have you got a sponsor for your work permit? If yes, apply together, if not, apply separately.

EU partners are different and accessed under different rules, putting her on your application if your employer is not sponsoring you or when they don't have the willingness to defend you might affect your own application. The question you should ask yourself is, am I willing to risk missing out on this opportunity because of something that can be fixed later? I've seen sponsorships withdrawn for various reasons especially if fraud is linked

Hi Everyone,

My wife was ban 4yrs ago at the UK embassy due to some fake document an agent use in her application and we just got married few months ago and i want to apply for a work visa and i want my wife and kid to accompany me.

*did she stand a good chance as i am the main applicant?

someone advice i apply alone then once my visa has been approved then she can apply separately.
i don't want this if she will not be issued visa there is no point traveling alone without my wife and kid.

I know of someone that was ban but got married to one European woman and they both travel to London together but the wife was the main applicant. i dont want to mix this things up because i am black with a Nigerian passport.

biko my people, if anyone have a clue should please advice.

Don't feed the trolls!

Ignore

birdman:
They really didnt figure out that defense. The Lakers won because Lebron just decided he was going to force the issue, otherwise it would be 2-2 right now.

That being said, Lakers have to feel good because they were able to clamp Butler down and stay ahead with all the bricks Danny Green, Kuzma and Morris were laying. Kudos to the coach on the defense - that was stellar, and it kept Lakers in the game

They did figure it out, hence the couple of non-contested threes, slash plays and instant/Hezzy drives by Rondo, Lebron and KCP in the fourth. Plus making good use of quick breaks before the defence is set. LeBron also started ignoring half court pickups by Robinson which is designed to give Jimmy time to catch his breath and take over the guarding while Bam/Jae Crowder meet him at the rim

FBS:
Irrespective of the outcome of the finals, I think it is fair to say that the Heat stretched the Lakers.
Not a mismatch as many previously mentioned.
Game 5 will be spicy.

It was war last night and I think the Lakers have figured out how to deal with Spo's adjustments, that's why apart from Herro and Robinson, the points came from other role players and not Jimmy (22pts), Crowder ( 8pts ), Olynyk (4pts), Nunn (6pts) unlike in game 3. If anything, the Lakers do well when the game gets physical, remember the Rockets/Nuggets series? Game 5 will be brutal because the Heats played into the Laker's hands by making the game more physical, which suits them because of their height advantage.

Roland17:
The Lakers are already hunting Herro/Robinson/Nun. Spo understands this and that is why he is employing the zone. However, every time the Heat came out of the zone, the attack on all 3 was even more vicious which accounted for most of their foul troubles.
I can’t get over my Celtics allowing the zone disrupt our basketball. Brad Stevens was very poor and I was clear about it during that series.
The one thing they can try is that basic pick and roll but it has to be Dragic/Bam combo and see if that unsettles the Lakers and get them in early foul trouble. The Celtics would have been a better matchup against the Lakers but the truth is we did not deserve to be in the finals

The pick and roll will also be less effective if you’re meeting Dwight/AD/Bron/Kief at the rim. I could count at least four to five times when Jimmy had his shots swatted by Bron last night alone, God help your body if you’re Bam after getting banged up multiple times.

At least the Celtics have three good guards and multiple scoring options, the heats are playing with Herro who was still playing high school basketball in 2018 as their main scoring option outside of Jimmy. Kelly Olynyk had a bit of flurries which will dry up if the Lakers focus on him.

It’s going to be a mismatched and boring series, but I’m loving it

birdman:
you mean liability on offense. His defense has always been solid. He is getting wide open looks on those 3s

No defense, some analysts legit called him a liability after Avery Bradley opted out of the bubble. They swore that he's only manageable on defense. The irony is that he contributed immensely to stop Jamal Murray during the Nuggets series

birdman:
Heat need to retool for game 3. That celtics could not solve that zone defense exposed the starting 5, and Brad Stevens to an extent. On the other hand, Lakers are full of older gentlemen who have seen such many times. They also have bigs who can dominate under the basket. Lebron is a big. As is AD. And Dwight. 2 of those guys can also get their own shot, and are excellent passers to decent shooters on the perimeter. Zone busted.

Heat may have to eat humble pie and stop trying to grind it out with the Lakers. Run pops out of breath, maybe stay close enough to win a game

Laker would destroy them, it would be a bloodbath if they dare change from their zone defence, the only option could've been a shell zone like the Nuggets played, but they lack the personnel. Spo already made his adjustments for game 2 and they still struggled. The only way they could compete is to continue to play zone, which is still useless against the Godzilla in the Laker uniform.

Bron and AD would feast on iso plays, they will literally hunt Kendrick Nunn, Herro and Robinson on every play and pass if double teamed. Plus they need a reliable third scoring option behind Jimmy and Bam on offence to compete.

DeeMain:
No plastic rings bro. A Giannis or Kawhi or Dame in Lakers will dilute the quality amd honour of the ring.

The only sensible options for this off-season are:
Tristan Thompson, Fred VanVleet, Serge Ibaka, Bogdan Bogdanovic, Montrezl Harrel, Marcus Morris, Jordan Clarkson, Jerami Grant, Carmelo Anthony

Apart from VanVleet, Bogdan, Jerami grant, Trez and Melo I don’t see any point in getting anyone else in

WeissVonner:
If they can get someone like Kawhi of course. But I don't think they should go for any other wing at the expense of Giannis. One of them may have to move to the 5 during the playoffs but it will absolutely be worth it. Bron handling the ball, two knockdown 3 and D players, Giannis and AD at 4 and 5. That's a cheat code.

Add Bradley Beal or Dame to the current roster and it’s game over for everyone.


Seth curry is an honourable mention as well, but he’s tied to Dallas for now.


On a side note, I’m wondering what happened to the Rondo is a liability on defence narrative

steady986:
He's stuck with Chris Broussard in The Odd Couple

I think Chris Broussard is becoming like Rob as well in his hatred for LeBron, I've been wondering how he's changed in the last few weeks from admiring LeBron and the Lakers to saying that LeBron can never be MJ on Tuesday because he can never match 6-0. This was a guy that was giving daily updates on Kawhi's movements to the Lakers in the off-season, and for him to suddenly switch to the other side could be because of spending too much time with Rob. And Chris has been salty since the Clippers blew the 3-1 lead as well, I still don't get why a supposed Pastor could have so much hate in his heart.

WeissVonner:
Nauseating voice, ugly face, horrible analysis.

They all saw how Skip made a career from hating on LeBron, but Skip still does it with some kind of knowledgeable takes. Rob and the likes are just plain haters with no tact. I'm still amazed at how LeBron has refused to acknowledge Skip the whole of his career, not even a tweet or disguised shade.

steady986:
I wonder how someone can look at a team having LeBron and AD and think they're more likely to miss the playoffs than win the championship. I wonder how, all of a sudden, Kawhi had more championship credibility that someone who has been to eight finals in the last 9 years. More than someone who carried J.R Smith and Matthew Dellavedova to the finals. Everybody somehow were just willing to be blind to the fact that Kawhi didn't have to play KD in the finals.

Rob Parker can't be redeemed. His hatred for LeBron is the worst I've seen among journalists. If I wasn't seeing him on TV I would have thought he was a regular commenter on this thread.

Rob Parker? lol. I've not heard from him in a while, people are beginning to see his unbiased hatred and have stopped inviting him to the popular sport shows. His voice is very nauseating to say the least

WeissVonner:
But he averaged 2 points in a finals series. Hes obviously useless.

As useless as Draymond on the Warriors

steady986:
You even get time to argue with am sef

Someone that referenced Rodman's FGM as a reason why he is not a top player, is not one you should be talking basketball with. It's like saying Patrick Viera is not an important part of the Invincibles because he didn't score as much as Henry.

I would have refused to engage in any conversation the moment he started calling another man Lenormad like a scorned ex.

WeissVonner:
The man really said LeBron has to prove he can lead a team himself.

He hasn't been the same since Future took his wife to pound town.

Now I believe CTE is a real thing in Basketball

WeissVonner:
LMAO If you're wondering If this was posted by some idiot or online troll, it wasn't. Scottie Pippen really said spewed this trash. Seems we have the MJ camp right where we want them, in panic mode.

It's funny how they manage to support anyone the Lakers are playing and refuse to acknowledge the fact that, maybe the Lakers are just a good team. They are making it seem like Tyler Herro is better than Dame/Harden, that at this point it’s becoming so pathetic. A team that could stifle both of them will magically struggle against Herro and Robinson? A team that could stop Jokic should be worried about Bam?

These dumbos said it's like a pickup game and didn't know that this will also favour Bron ??. He's shooting 75.1% FTs , he doesn't need to worry about travelling to games.

Against the Heats, the Lakers should just spam the pick and roll on every play. Imagine Olynik/ Crowder/ iggy trying to guard AD and Bron, good luck with that.

I like the underdog narrative, makes it sweeter when the Lakers Win it all. They should keep the same energy and not call it an easy ring.

WeissVonner:
Can I just say I'm glad he didn't? Cause Frank Vogel has been perfect for the Lakers. One of the best defensive coaches in the league.


If I were the Clippers the right candidate is right under their nose but it's not Ty Lue, Its Sam Cassell. I understand Ty Lue might feel disrespected because of that but they've already made one tough decision, they might as well see it out.

And the defence has saved the Lakers when the offence has been terrible, imagine Ty Lue in the Rockets or even the Denver series Jokic would average 30

JayBasic:
Ahem!!!

Btw Heat in 6 Nba Finals

Don’t lose your money if you’re planning to bet on that.

The Heats run the same zone defence that the Nuggets against the Lakers in the last round.

The Heats played hero and Robinson on the bottom corners and iggy/JB/crowder up top to overwhelm/pressure the ball/PnR and Bam in the paint

The match up is just too favourable to the Lakers because of their streaky shooters, Kief/KCP/Danny can give you a good 4 threes in a game once they’re in the mood, and of course Bron/ AD iso plays, plus Rondo/Bron could easily find cutters to the basket

This is not looking good for the Heats

steady986:
I wouldn't mention Kyle Korver as someone that can improve this team. At 39 that guy is an ancestor already. We brought a similar guy in J.R and we've used him only sparingly. D. Rose has a history of injuries. Seth would have been great. I think the delay by Kawhi was a blessing in disguise if you asked me, because we somehow managed to fill the holes in the team. We brought in guys who have been tested in this league and wanted to prove to people that they still had something to offer. Win or lose, there's not much that needs to change in the team. Everybody knows their role. The only downside is that we thought Kuz was that guy who was going to give you 18 off the bench. Perhaps we should have kept Ingram instead.

Kuz is gone next season, being in Beal or even Dinwiddie is a better option, he manages to have turnovers either off his legs or can’t catch the ball.

steady986:
Lol. Sadly we wouldn't get to know how the Clippers would have fared against the Lakers. We can only speculate. But I was confident that the Lakers would have handled their business. Maybe next year sha, when LeBron is 36½

Next year the Lakers will have time to properly fill their roster. Not going to wait on someone like this year till all the good players are gone. Imagine how good this team would be if they got Seth Curry, Covington, D.Rose, Kyle Korver? They even had a chance to get D’lo or Butler.

Kawhi really bleeped with the Lakers’ plans for the season but still got sucker-punched in the end. I guess the basketball gods are not sleeping after all.

Afr0mentalist:
Psychopath for what reason. Do you know the meaning of perfectionism?

As a floor general would you be happy to see such a lead melt down ?

I get what you’re saying, but in the moment, a lik bit of celebration wouldn't take away how disappointed you are in how the game played out, there's always a film session for you to do that. But I guess that attitude is what makes playoff Rondo a scary sight

steady986:
He's toiling with the Nuggets mentally. He showed them, right in front of their bench, that he was pissed because the game shouldn't have been close in the first place.

He was pissed no doubt

Did anyone else see Rondo after the buzzer beater by AD? That guy is a psychopath and he needs to be placed on the national security watch list.

While the whole team was ecstatic, this guy just walked off the court without breaking a stride like nothing happened. He didn’t even shake hands with the refs or whatever

The Nuggets cannot play any better than they did last night and they still lost, Jokic 30, Jamal Murray 25, Lebron had 2 points the whole of the second half, and a +/- of -9 which has been rare this season, heck the Lakers had 23 turnovers, had to play the last few minutes without Dwight, their most impactful answer to Jokic because of foul troubles and the Lakers still won. Michael Malone made his adjustments and did a good job to clean up bad plays and despite struggling against the shell defence by the Nuggets, the Lakers found a way to win.

Game 1 should’ve been the typical Lebron/Lakers feel out game, but it’s looking like this game 2 is the one.

Last night’s loss is damaging to any team’s psyche and encouraging to the winner’s confidence. That dagger by AD is very depressing.

Frank Vogel will make some adjustments in the coming games to tighten up the sloppiness, and knowing Lebron, he’s going to control the game better and hunt for more favourable matchups in subsequent games.

Lakers in 4

Roland17:
Also needs to cut down his TO. Defintely heading for greatness.

Not sure he can do anything bout the turnovers, it comes with the territory if you're An excellent passer like he is.

Rgade:
Real nice.
Not a cable stayed bridge though.

did you even see the images or you're just making stuff up

steady986:
Man has changed his FT routine. I'd love to see his stat since he switched routine

In his last two games, LeBron James went 24-for-29 from the free throw for .828 percent.

He came in before then shooting .693 from the stripe. It is now at .704 percent.

Looks like Lebron got pissed off with what morris said, guess what happens when he is pissed off

steady986:
I didn't see the game, but I'm believing that that Mook-PG-Kawhi partnership is bullocks unless Mook comes of the bench. I mean, bringing Morris into the starting lineup pushes PG into the SG position, making him to take (and miss) even more three pointers. They need to sort themselves out...the later the better for us.

You didn't miss much TBH. In a nutshell, Mook is a poor man's JR Smith, cos they're both knuckleheads putting up useless shots despite Paul George, Lou and Kawhi are all free in the corner, and they are in a better position to make uncontested shots.

You hate to see it.
