Tip: You should put the rank of the team in the headline or image. It makes it easier to follow along with the series.

Bye bitch!

So true! All the other sports are complete shit with their pansy guaranteed contracts! Nobody tries at all!! Good luck getting LeBron to even attempt a dunk anymore... jeez

AMERICA:
Where people making $1,000/hr have convinced people making $20/hr that people making $15/hr make too much.

Except this is legal and viewed and as good business. Capitalism has failed when this is the norm.

Except half the country (the ones that vote at least) are rubes and buffoons who voted for Trump (not that the corporate Dems don’t love some good ol’ American greed themselves) and will vote exactly how large banks, media, and corporations tell them to vote. No, we are in fact fucked.

They were never winning a title. They topped out like the 60-win Hawks a few years ago. Good regular season team, but simply don’t have the elite players to win a title.

Zach Lowe reported that they would risk fines for each missed practice and game, starting in preseason, unless he can provide a legitimate medical reason. Also, would probably kill any future endorsement opportunities.

All-time leader in minutes, games played, and points. And he actually wanted to be there. The “greatest Raptor of all time” doesn’t mean he was the best player to play for the franchise.

Funny how this all started because Leonard felt he wasn’t getting enough endorsements and publicity. After all this I can’t imagine any fan will be rushing to get any product Kawhi is associated with. This guy had so much goodwill then he just stomped it out.

he was also drafted at #13. people act like he was the #1 pick or something. he’s totally outperformed in the NBA.  

People love to overvalue young talent (especially those on their own team). Like look at this tweet from Simmons:

True, but if they trade for Kawhi and sign LeBron they’ll still have the cap room to sign another max player. Could use that money to sign more depth or could actually just sign LeBron & one of PG/CP/Cousins and keep the young depth the Lakers already have. Hard to make all the pieces fall into place though as it…

Agreed. If I was LeBron I’d prefer CP3 & Kwahi or Cousins & Kwahi over George. 

A LeBron/Kawhi/PG Big Three makes the Lakers as good as anyone else in the NBA, even if Leonard will likely opt for free agency next summer and might not be mathematically re-signable for L.A., and even if trading for him now could denude the roster of young and affordable talent that could make the Lakers more…

Yes, I also understand how Mexico plays.

I keep pointing out that Mexico outplayed Germany in the group stage because that is the entire point. They did not get lucky to move on. They played better.

Yes, I understand how the World Cup works.

So, Mexico outplayed Germany overall in the group stage and that somehow makes them “lucky” to advance? Ok, got it.

Wait... so what you’re saying is that Germany was the favorite to win the group? And that Mexico wouldn’t have advanced if Germany beat South Korea? Wow you’re analysis is really blowing my dick off!
