2017 NBA Off-Season

[Paulius]

Man its crazy, if u watch the end, all of our knuckleheads are trying to celebrate all crazy and unprofessionaly, and hes out there telling em to chill and go shake hands like a pro

Maan i miss those days when he played, true warrior

Just a heads up for you guys so when u see him in 10-15 years as some nba coach, dont forget to tell your kids about a story Big poppa once told yall

 

[Paulius]

When and why did you move to the US Paulie?

I was 8 years old, and we won the green card thru a lottery back then so it was an obvious choice to get out the country since it was still bad over there with Russians and shit

 

[buzzy]

Would you ever move back?

 

[Paulius]

I go back every few summers. My dad moved back and lives there with his own family so i go visit my little half brothers and my grandparents from his side

Living there would be so hard and uncomfortable tho after being here for so long. Its hard to explain but after u live here, it would just be hard to see yourself back there with those people and just the way it is over there. I was one of the lucky ones to not have to spend my teen years over there. Prolly would be in jail by now, so i thank god all the time for giving us this chance to get away from there back then when it was really really bad

This was just a few weeks ago. Remind us that ball isnt life

 

[Pugz]

And so is Ben Wallace am I right??

no. ben was hardly 6'9, which made his post dominance even more special.

Because Phil has a massive ego.

6'9" without shoes. He also weighed 240 pounds, LeBron was 6'7-1/4" and 245 at the combine. Shaq measured 7' and 300. Dwight is and was much closer to LeBron's size than he ever was to Shaq, so someone expecting a run of Shaq like dominance was expecting far too much out of Dwight and was setting themselves up to being let down (Not that you were making these comparisons)

Nobody goes by their height without shoes except Durant. Quit reaching. They play basketball with shoes on

 

[elcheato]

Prove it

 

[bosoxlover12]

Garnett did too

Two or so weeks ago I posted about how the lack of competition in the playoffs, particularly the Finals, lost Disney some outrageous amount of money in advertisement revenue.

Even with the Finals having good viewership, the less amount of games hurt revenue. As a result the salary cap is now expected to drop. The new tv deal is what caused the cap to spike, but with the fewer games and less advertisement money to go around the NBA can't meet those cap projections.

TL;DR version, broadcasters lost millions and millions when the Finals only went 5 games, and as a result less money was made by the NBA because of it, cap goes down from original projection.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

The cap needs to go down anyways

REAL RECOGNIZE REAL!

So let me give u guys some bitter sweet shit man, feeling nostalgic

yall prolly dont know him. Lithuanian legend, european basketball legend. Championships on every level except the NBA. Even when he was still playing in his day, he was an amazing leader, absolutely amazing and everyone knew he would coach someday. Also absolutely cold blooded, clutch , unbelievable competitor, amazing amazing passer and all of the above

Started coaching two years ago and the day he signed i told my family that someday we will see him in the nba, he just has it

This summer got an offer from barcelona, and now this. This makes me extremely happy, just the recognition he deserves, and hopefully it continues. he was my LT dude growing up, true legend in our country along with sabonis, marciulionis etc

If you watched 04 olympics, this is when he torched USA. It was my first time watching my country beat team usa and the only unfortunetly. One of the greatest games in olympic history since usa doesnt lose often

If you care for a crazy performance, check it out
The 4th quarter of course is where he takes off
2:15 seconds if you gonna watch

I think it was projected to fall back down anyway in a few years

 

[buzzy]

It really doesn't matter what the cap is, we just can't have insane jumps from year to year again

 

[Pugz]

clippers supposedly offered deandre for andre lol

 

[CameronCrazy06]

lol we all know who he is

I don't know if everybody does, but I certainly do. He played at Maryland. Fuck that guy.
