2018 OFF-SEASON DISCUSSION THREAD

[Paulius]

He played with a fucked up hip a day after his sister died, he literally cost himself tens of millions of dollars to try and help them win

Or he played bc he loves basketball

You can call him a warrior or a tough dude, but loyalty label isnt given out after two seasons haha

IT probably would be loyal if a team wanted him that much. He's been passed around a ton.

 

[Paulius]

His tweet said he's generally a happy camper. If Portland wants him in Portland, he'll be happy there. If Portland didn't want him and traded him to LA, he'd be happy there. He's loyal, doesn't mean Portland is if he moves.

The point that he even responded to such a tweet tho

If you’re focused on Portland, you dont talk about LA or Bron

Eh he's a talker. He's always responding to people. A man of the people.
 
Also young bull is playing right now

 

[Paulius]

I get it

Not everyone is a rare breed like Russ

And its fine, i dont blame other players for doing what they want but i just have my way of respecting players

People are just different man. Some would rather stack everything in their favor, join superteams, and have easy roads. Some would rather do the opposite and ride or die with what they have

Its been a year, dude

Loyalty isnt given out. Its earned when you go thru the bad times and stick it out

Westbrook could have dipped the second that KD left. That roster was washed, but instead - why waste time when you know where you want to be

Dont recall. But these are guys who took paycuts at the back end of the career to help put their teams in better spots to succeed. Thats loyalty to me.

and it's super rare and almost never happens

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Just pointing out that there are loyal people

 

[Pugz]

Just pointing out that there are loyal people

its even more rare that the team remains loyal but look at tony parker now

Players should just stay loyal to themselves because no one else is really gonna look out for them

Houston couldn’t give LRMM $4.3M?

 

[Mexi]

He didn't even play in the playoffs guys

Would have been nice to keep but remember he was hurt in the playoffs and even when he played he was practically useless.

Shame he got hurt

Houston will be ok tho

 

[Mexi]

I'm very ready for Melo in Houston

Lose defense, but he still has game. Will be better utilized with James and chris

exactly. even if you get a guy who stays their whole career, i hardly ever expect them to take pay cuts and if they do, im shocked.

Lakers were only loyal to Kobe and gave him the bad last contract because they were playing the long game

Wanted to show future free agents they take care of you while you age

Did it work with LeBron? Maybe who knows

And Kobe was definitely loyal asking for a trade to Chicago in 07 lol

 

[Mexi]

Nothing I hate more on this website than the loyalty conversation

Of all the stupid shit paulius says, this has been the worst

Plenty would argue that Kobe never wanted to leave and was just trying to use a trade as leverage
