2017/18 NBA Regular Season

[BNC]

a 10:30p game on a tuesday is awful for viewership, compared to an 8p game

Not what I was talking about. I don’t think Paulius cares about which gets more views

 

[BNC]

I think Lebron not giving a fuck anymore is his ticket out of Cleveland. He wants out

Think about it

If he wills this team to the finals and leaves, people will shit on him for leaving a situation like this. Being at home, being in the finals, etc. He will get shit for it once again

If he burns this shit down from inside n out and they lose in the playoffs, that gives him an excuse to leave. Excuse to get away from all of this because it will look like a bad situation in a lot of peoples eyes and they’ll say “well his teammates sucked, they lost to Boston, of course he should leave”

See right thru you Bron, see right thru your plans buddy. No surprise he’s half assing. And if he stays playing like this in the playoffs, we’ll know this is for sure the truth

He left Miami after making the finals and that would stop him this time?

He wont make the finals, thats why he’ll leave

He didnt get shit on then because he was going home

If he makes the finals this year, and leaves to go to a superteam, people will shit on him for taking an easy road

That being said, Celtics will be in the finals this year

magic has gotten them fined what, $100k already, in one season? hes a genius

 

[Paulius]

How is that tampering tho? Assuming this is about him saying Giannis will bring Milwaukee a championship

 

[Pugz]

thats what im pretty sure its about but magic just needs to not say anything to the media.

What is tampering again?
Tampering, on its surface, is a ban on players, coaches, or front office executives attempting to induce a player under contract with another team to play for his team.
But there’s really two types of tampering — private tampering and public tampering. (Those aren’t official terms, but I think they define the two ways that teams run afoul of this rule as well as any.) The Lakers and Johnson already been caught in a private tampering violation for making contact with Paul George while he was still under contract with the Indiana Pacers. But as SB Nation writer Tom Ziller notes, the rule is impossible to fully enforce.

Tampering is so fuzzy and subjective. Players, coaches, and general managers talk to each other all the time. Agents have increasingly transitioned into front office roles; retired players are moving into that direction, too.

Los Angeles ended up being fined $500,000 for the George incident, 10 times as much as Tuesday’s announcement, because the private tampering done in those circumstances is deemed to be more serious than off-hand public comments.

cause he'll be better?

 

[Paulius]

“Attempting to induce a player under contract with another team to play for his team”

What did he say, bc saying Giannis will bring Milwaukee a championship has nothing to do with the Lakers

Or am i missing something and its not about this

 

[Paulius]

cause he'll be better?

I also belueve he will be really good but pump the brakes on the “superstar” just yet. Things can change quickly, lets see how he does next season

 

[Paulius]

Someone as good as Wade, would mean they’re way better than Harden so im not sure if Donovan can be way better than Harden

Maybe
