Football is a team sport. You don't even see their faces. If nfl players striked and the league used scab players the league would still be popular. Not so with the NBA. The NBA is all about its stars.

QBs are still important in football. The rest of the players, not so much.

Peyton Manning took in more endorsements than any player. The nfl makes a fortune. Scrub basketball players have just made more money than marshawn lynch has made in his career

Austin Rivers is an abomination of a basketball player. There bench hemorrhages points away for one reason.

They removed themselves from Durant sweepstakes to sign the coaches son, lol,

**Alpha Male** · 07-02-2016, 10:16 PM

Wrong forum dude.

**Raskolnikov** · 07-02-2016, 11:25 PM

its FA on a basketball forum. Use your fingers for something meanignful.

**Raskolnikov** · 07-02-2016, 11:26 PM

What the hell....Austin Rivers sucks so bad. He single handedly destroys the clippers.

**Raskolnikov** · 07-02-2016, 11:28 PM

Durant told the Clippers no but published how great the pitch was in the media?

Why the hell would you remove yourself from Durant lottery for the coaches son. First of all because he sucks. Secondly, isn't he family? Can't you ask him to wait a couple days? Fucking hilarious.

Dude destroys all the work Paul does every game.

I'm sure if KD tells LA he wants to play, they will make it work out

We have an Around the NBA thread, so its fine here.The issue is there is no need to make a new standalone thread over every other minuscule happening in the NBA.

**baselman1974** · 07-03-2016, 12:52 AM

Even Tom fucking Brady is trying to lure KD to Boston. If that happens, Boston will be relevant again and Ainge would look like a genius.

The ball doesn't bounce off the hardwood all that well after deflation. It also wobbles a bit when you shoot.

Haha great analogy. True story

**Naptastic** · 07-03-2016, 02:02 PM

The amount of money being thrown around to mediocre/bad players is terrible. Mike Conly is not equal skill to KD, and shouldn't be paid the same. It really undervalues the actual stars of the NBA. I wonder how they feel about it. I think I'd be kinda pissed, but at the same time you already have so much money it might seem like not a big deal what other players get. I'd like to hear their real thoughts, no PC shit.

**Naptastic** · 07-03-2016, 02:33 PM

Why do max deals exist? Why couldn't the NBA just have a salary cap for a team, then let the team decide whats the max they will pay a player? It doesnt ruin any parity, because any team that outbids/overvalues a star player wont have the money to supply role players.

They are cool with it. Players like Lebron have said they have no problem taking less so other guys can get paid more. Lebron would get like 300 mill if there was no max.

**BNB** · 07-04-2016, 11:55 AM

WOW. KD to Golden State on a 2-year, 54 million dollar deal.

Rip just wants to cash in on all that money.

At this point, Tony Snell is better than Rip. If some team is interested, dial 1-900-STND-PAX for trade information. All it takes is a late 2nd rounder or a can of tuna.
