So the system is rigged? Who would've guessed lol. Maybe the guy should've been got his wake up call the first time he got caught up. Instead the rich dude with money, handlers, and a gang of lawyers in his ear still won't stop doing dumb shit as visibly as possible.
After all these athletes in the last few years have worked so hard to have their voices recognized, Meek is the case Harden feels the need to give spotlight and attention too? The way people marching for this dude you'd think they planted a gun on him and put a wire on his family. Judge has it out for an entertainer is nothing new but I cannot stand people trying to prop up those who absolutely could've avoided problems by taking advantage of the rare status they've achieved. There's kids in solitary who don't even know they're supposed to get a trial but #freemeek.
No. Fuck that lol
There are more corrupt judges and more innocent people up a creek for me to be pouring one out for a guy who should know better and straight up can do better. Hold Meek accountable for being an easy mark.

It often takes a guy with money and fame to shine light on the injustices that happens in the system
You don't have to pour one out for Meek but him winning would be a good thing if the FBI sticks that foot on her ass

my black celebrity standing in the face of injustice for the month is terry crews. this dude can kick rocks
meek is just another dumbass that let himself get caught up and wants to look left and right instead of the mirror. what was he on probation for in the first place? yeah. you'd think that coming out of that would lead to him not slipping up in the future especially when he's got everything he could possibly need to dodge something as petty as this. meek ain't special. no one put a hit out on him. he got himself in the system. he didn't get stop and frisked into this. accountability goes both ways. yes the system is jacked and that judge is wrong, but as a black dude in america you can't just hand your life over knowing the deck is stacked. don't call for reform while you're getting processed or your boy is already headed to county for being stupid when there are actual innocent men waiting for a t shirt and shoe promo too

By diehard Go To Postif we re-sign Hood and let Favors go im going to be so pissedYou should be pissed if you re-sign either of them.
By blackace Go To PostMeek is the hero you need Dy, but he isn't the hero you deserve.you can tell this got me triggered deeply lol
By giririsss Go To PostYou should be pissed if you re-sign either of them.I love Favors, and he is still a quality player. He won't be back though :(
Also he doesnt really fit with Rudy.
By diehard Go To PostI love Favors, and he is still a quality player. He won't be back though :(He'd be a quality player in the 90's. But not now. And for what he does bring to the modern game, Rudy does 2x better.

By giririsss Go To PostHe'd be a quality player in the 90's. But not now. And for what he does bring to the modern game, Rudy does 2x better.? He is still a quality player today. It's not like he is some post player who needs the basketball to be effective. He is good on a the role, can finish dump offs, play defense and sometimes hit an open jumper. Yeah Rudy is better but Favors is still a good player, even if he isn't the same guy he was 2 years ago.

By giririsss Go To Postso he's literally, generic big man x from eruope? or… alex len?we both know Alex Len can't hit a jumper and generic big men from Europe don't play defense.
By diehard Go To Postwe both know Alex Len can't hit a jumper and generic big men from Europe don't play defense.Len can, and he does. and he rebounds.
He's "just good" at it all with mediocre athleticism. Which is what Favors is.
I wanted Favors to work more than most, but he just doesn't All those injuries either robbed him of athleticism, or he didn't have it in the first place. But unless you're marc gasol / jokic good on offense, there's no room for eathbound big men in the NBA anymore.
At this point, re-signing favors for anything more than $5m per as a backup big to play 10mpg is pure folly.
And FYI, Alexn Len is Arguably having a better season than Favors / just as good. And that's not a good thing for Favors.
n.b. This is NOT a pro Alex Len post.

How Len's defense these days? If he can keep up his rebounding rate, that raises his ceiling pretty considerably I think...but is it an anomaly?
By IWMTB19 Go To PostWas this Pelicans game on TNT and ABC or something?lol no
e: it was against the Nets. no chance it would be on national TV
By DY_nasty Go To Posttrash fire
By s y Go To Post^^lol
I don't have any idea how this stat works, but it's hilarious that it says Dwight has scored -70 points all the same.
By DY_nasty Go To PostLeading the league in air balls
Dwight has done his job
Kemba is underachieving tbh. He should be a 25 ppg guy easy these days. He has all the tools.

By livefromkyoto Go To PostI don't have any idea how this stat works, but it's hilarious that it says Dwight has scored -70 points all the same.On offense.
On defense he's prevented 40 points from being scored so net net he's not the worst? Close to it tho.
The further you are below the line, the more of a detriment to the team you are.
By giririsss Go To PostLen can, and he does. and he rebounds.Len takes 5.5% of his shots outside 10 feet, he is the definition of "can't shoot jumpshots". Favors takes 30% of his shots outside 10 feet. If Alex Len is playing good defense ( i don't watch him ) and putting up those numbers, he is going to get paid.

Not necessarily. The positions are stocked around the league and those with cap space and without a young big at the position are probably looking to fill the position through the draft.
I think Len will end up on a prove it contract of sort with a player option
By Dark PhaZe Go To PostNot necessarily. The positions are stocked around the league and those with cap space and without a young big at the position are probably looking to fill the position through the draft.Look up Mason Plumlee's numbers last year and then look at the $41 million he got.

Breh losing to LA really fucked up the chemistry ehh?
By diehard Go To PostLook up Mason Plumlee's numbers last year and then look at the $41 million he got.
When you know you're gonna be over the cap regardless, these kinds of signings mean less. The real question is what was the highest he could get from a team that didn't have his bird rights? That's the true market value price. And we kind of saw guys that should have gotten more become a recipient of that market whiplash that teams got from two summers ago.
But Phoenix could end up paying Len 14 million plus a year as a team that knows they probably won't be in a position to grab a premier free agent for a minute. Any other team? I think his price is around 10 a season.
Watching the Lakers get smoked by a G-league team (sorry jjasper) is definitely the low point of the season so far. Our free throw shooting is fucking anemic and our offense seems to be so, so bad without Lonzo. Though nothing sucks more than watching Tyreke Evans do whatever he wants.
Thankfully Magic caused a schism by letting everyone know we are getting 2 max players in the off-season though.

The amount of games the Knicks are giving away on the road is nuts. The last week and a half they're lost at least 3 games they should have won on the road. Last 2 games it's the same thing, bad 4th quarter execution in turning it over and people not knowing plays. Hornacek CANNOT keep playing Kanter/KP/Beasley lineups, it kills floor spacing and Beasley literally doesn't know the plays as well as the other guys.
By Kabro Go To PostHot take: Lakers are a G-league team.Scorching take: Everyone other than the Warriors are a G-league team.
By Kabro Go To PostHot take: Lakers are a G-league team.
By Kabro Go To PostHot take: Lakers are a G-league team.They went from a -6.88 (worst in the league) to -3.45 MOV in a year. Like, what kind of improvement did you expect?
The Lakers are a bad team. They have the same record as the Nets, with DMC and Crabbe both playing at the bottom end of expectations and both of our starting guards injured for 75% of the season. Or the Suns, with Chriss regressing and Booker missing 1/3 of the season. They are at least two years away from figuring out if Lonzo or Ingram are the real deal. Putting "win now" expectations on that roster with a flashy FA signing of George/Cousins/whoever is probably not the wisest choice, but what do I know.
Ainge won.
Ainge won.
By diehard Go To PostThey went from a -6.88 (worst in the league) to -3.45 MOV in a year. Like, what kind of improvement did you expect?
I never expected a 40 win season, I barely expected a 30 win season, tbh. I liked what they have been doing through most of the year. Playing competitive to the end and losing like a young team would. I was totally fine with that. I gave them a pass against Minnesota because both Ingram and Ball were out. This is two straight games now where they look mostly uninterested in playing.
Bogut called a few guys out the other day about "pouting" (I think it's most likely to be Randle and Clarkson) on the bench. Told them to be professional and come in a work. I understand their gripes though, they were basically told when Magic took over that they aren't part of the long term future. Randle is in a contract year hasn't been playing much, which I don't mind because he's pretty much at his ceiling, but he feels they are fucking with his money. Clarkson has been arguably one of our two best players, and he still sits on the bench for 24 minutes a game.
By KingGondo Go To PostAdams has finally taken the leap this year. He has been awesome.That 2ppg, 1rpg leap is scary.
He might have an even bigger leap if Westbrook stops hogging his rebounds.
By s y Go To PostThat 2ppg, 1rpg leap is scary.I'm not talking about traditional per game stats.
He might have an even bigger leap if Westbrook stops hogging his rebounds.
His efficiency has improved a lot on offense and he's the heart of the defense. If we can remember to include him in the offense down the stretch of games we'll be really damn hard to defend.
(Not holding my breath on that once we start getting into tight games against good teams)
