NBA 2021-22 Season Thread - [Insert Whitty Title Here]

This point is stupid. That is how he has been defended his entire time in the league. Brown isn't even remotely in KD's league. He has one mediocre playoff series and suddenly he went from top 1-2 player in the league to bum. If the Celtics can add him for a guy who cannot dribble, you do it. He is one of the greatest players ever, and you can snag the last couple years of his prime.

Ummm. No. Teams CAN'T body KD because they don't have the personnel that have the length to contest the shot. The length to contest that lob to get him that quick 20 footer. Body does not mean leaning into him man. Hence that is why KD is beast. You can't contest his shot 90% of the time. Did you even look at the NJ/Boston series man?

As a Mavs fan I can confirm that a 7 footer with a jump shot is LETHAL.

Perfect example my man! Who ever stopped the Dirk! You couldn't if his shot was on, that was a wrap-a-dap.

Jaylen Brown is not a top 20 player. He almost is, but isnt. And I would absolutely move him for Durant. Saying you wouldnt move him for LeBron is wild, yeah he is going to be 38 in December but cmon, he still has 2 high level seasons in him at LEAST.

I dont know, the amount of turnovers by Brown and Tatum and their completely broken offense during crunch time killed them and I dont see it changing unless they get another playmaker. Who knows though, I bet the Celtics dont move him. I would be shocked if they actually did bring in Durant.

Didn't this little bitch ass want Nash?

Fuck KD

He's a head case. He's gotta wake up in the morning and think to himself "what can I do today that will make me look like even more of a bitch"? It's like he's constantly trying to one-up himself.

What leverage does he even have at this point, not play for the next 4 years...I'd love to see that.

KD is so weird. We knew he was emotional when the burner accounts were revealed, but he has really turned into something all his own.

The two Finals MVPS and Championships are like his armor, even if it was with a stacked team, he went in there and became the man on the best team and then left. Except now he exhausted all of his options, and can only pull the same trick again by trying to join a stacked team, as he doesnt have the time, energy or desire to drag a dumpster team to a chip.

I think the fact that the Warriors have won before and after with not much time in between diminishes those titles for him. But that's my selfish homer opinion.

He was amazing here in the Bay though. Absolute stud.

I remember all the praise KD got when he quietly signed an extension with OKC while Lebron was doing "The Decision"

Now I don't even know who the more unlikeable faggot is

Lakers star LeBron James has agreed to a two-year, $97.1 million contract extension that includes a player option for the 2024-25 season, Klutch Sports CEO Rich Paul told ESPN.

Honestly, the cap is crazy. Even with him and Davis getting so much money they can still afford another max contract player after this upcoming season.

Hahahahahahahha. Noone wanted his punk ass.

It doesn't really mean that nobody wanted him. It means that nobody wanted to or could give up what the Nets wanted for him. If they were willing to trade him for less he'd have been traded. Asking for 2-3 players and a pile of draft picks is a lot though.
