@akaChrisx @Betsycashmoney You just proved her point. “If you aren’t a superstar” and “1/4th” roster size. Which is EXACTLY, why they likely can’t play.
English

@Betsycashmoney Better job security? The nba? Brother no. Nba rosters are 1/4th of the size & have 2 less teams, the NBA inherently has less job security, and if you arent a superstar your pay isnt any diff that like an average starter in the NFL, and even with that QBs make NBA supermax money
English

If NFL players could play in the NBA, they would.
They'd make more money, they'd have better job security, they'd have guaranteed deals, they'd have longer careers & FAR better post-career/longterm health & life outcomes.
I'm not trying to be disrespectful, but that's reality.

Washington Commanders LB Sonny Styles was a MONSTER on the Basketball Court. NFL Players 100% would transition to playing in the NBA better than NBA players to the NFL. Via -ShotbySpeegs

@ColinPartch @TheBBallSage Mastered it enough at age 23 to be a legitimate contributor on a playoff team which means he has more mastery than basically the entire warriors roster minus Curry and Butler at this point.
English

@livetofailure @TheBBallSage Or he could’ve mastered the basics like dribbling
English

Omfg CeeJay stop it. Your boy is inconsistent. As soon as he shows up on a scouting report it's over. He's too raw still. Too limited. He has no bag. His shot is shaky. Cut the rim pressure and he can't get his offense going.

Pretty clear that the Hawks have to make a major adjustment. Let’s see if Quinn has it in him

@BanisMajor Not sure if you meant you didn’t read or I didn’t read. Either way, Bulls woulda faced the Spurs if they coulda beaten the Jazz but they didn’t. So that kills whatever claim you were trying to make
English

@BanisMajor People hate on the Jazz team primarily because of how they look. Go look at the teams they demolished out west to get to the finals. Sweeping the Lakers with 4 all stars (Shaq, young Kobe, Nick Van Exel, Eddie Jones) says something. Beating Duncan and Robinson in 5 says something
English

@BanisMajor Say what you want. You can’t gas Duncan and then disregard the fact that his arguable best team got smacked by the Jazz when he was already first team all NBA level. Lakers had 4 all stars that most basketball fans love and they got swept by Utah. So clearly your barometer is off
English

@BanisMajor It’s almost as if the Jazz should have just let the Spurs win or let Shaq, Eddie Jones, Van Exel etc win just so people like you would respect the era more. Unfortunately, they destroyed first team all nba Duncan and Robinson and swept the Lakers.
English

@BanisMajor Your argument falls apart because this same Jazz team beat Duncan and Robinson with Duncan already being an all star and first team all NBA. That Spurs team was arguably better than any of the other teams Duncan won with in his prime. Jazz beat them in 5 and swept Shaq
English

@KrugerShreddy @TheBBallSage Meanwhile he is capable of finding a role on a team that actually made the playoffs vs a team that can’t even get through a playin tournament lol
English

@livetofailure @TheBBallSage lol, why didn’t he play? He wouldn’t fit a role, inconsistent go one on one. How does he not improve his ball handling in the offseason? It’s been multiple years and it hasn’t improved. You can blame the coach all you want but the player has to take as much blame or more
English

This feels like Jimmy and Dray are for sure gone if Steve isn’t back

Stein: There's a growing belief that the Warriors' roster overhaul around Stephen Curry could be more drastic if Steve Kerr doesn't return.
English

@livetofailure Man shut up. I had those interactions with them, not you. I’ve never even seen you before. You just popped out of nowhere to tell me what I saw lmao if you don’t FOH
English

Not even touching these highs and you think it’s over??? No you guys claimed he was the future of the franchise, not just a playoff contributor. It’s not over until he becomes the star that you guys claimed we lost


Space Gang@spacegang30
The Kuminga convo over….we’re outta the playoffs and he’s contributing to playoffs wins.
English

@hmmmmkay You’re projecting lol. Their claim was simple. He shouldn’t be getting DNPs. You’re creating a straw man
English

@livetofailure Reading is fundamental. I’m just going by THEIR claims. THEY made those claims. Use your eyes to read
English

@hmmmmkay @vonnfloww1 Bruh this may be the biggest coping mechanism I’ve seen from any fan ever.
So you NEED Kuminga to be a superstar franchise cornerstone instead of being a high level contributor when y’all have NOBODY on your squad aside from Steph on even that level lol.
You coping hard bruh
English

@vonnfloww1 You need to actually read slowly. Contributing to winning isn’t the bar that was set. The framing was that the Warriors lost their future franchise cornerstone. So far he’s been a bench contributor in the playoffs. He hasn’t lived up to their own claims yet. THEIR CLAIMS. Read
English

@KevinOConnor The fact that he keeps mentioning Green next to Steph as an absolute means he is NOT the guy Steph needs to end his career.
Kerr been on a retirement end of dynasty tour instead of trying to optimize Steph who is still elite.
He caps Steph as his ability to win with green.
English

Steve Kerr on his future with the Warriors: "I don’t want to abandon" Steph Curry and Draymond Green.
Full quote: "This is a really interesting situation, and I’m very respectful of the organization and their place in the universe right now. And I know how this stuff works. Most coaching runs just last a certain amount of time, and then it’s best for everybody to move forward. And what we have to figure out is whether now is that time, because what complicates it is we still have Steph and Draymond...I don’t want to abandon those guys. If Steph and Draymond were retiring this year, I think this would be an easy decision: we all go out together and the organization takes their new path. But it’s not that easy because I think Steph’s going to play another couple of years and I think we can still do some good things together. But these are all conversations that will happen in the next week or two and we’ll figure it out. And whatever happens, it’s going to end well. I know that, because it’s too important not to."

@arokk_s @drenchmansports I think Mark Williams was pretty good tbh but health became an issue. I think they are a marginal move at pg and a marginal move at center from being what the rockets were LAST year.
English

@livetofailure @drenchmansports They need a big too! If they’re able to acquire assets like a Jrue holiday and a zubac without giving up anyone that’d be an actually nice complete team. Let Collin play back up pg and they already got rotational wings
English

Devin Booker… I gotta hold you accountable because I talked about you in high regard! I’m disappointed because You can be better than this!
Everyone keeps complaining about Dillion Brooks and his shot selection, but honestly if it wasn’t for DB the suns might be scoring 85 points in the damn game.
English

@arokk_s @drenchmansports I don’t think they’ve been trash. I don’t think KD was good for their culture and I think this year they had a great year with all the injuries and even now missing Williams and Dunn. However, to get to the NEXT level, they need a pg. Same as Hou, negligent to not get a pg for KD
English

@livetofailure @drenchmansports Trying to figure out where it registered in their heads after going to the finals with a PG like Chris Paul that “moving booker to PG” would be more beneficial. They’ve been trash since
