I didn't take that as making bad moves to get that 8th seed. I took it was not trading away anything of value for future pics or considerations. Obviously Beal isn't going to say "Yeah, this is a tank year" because if that case, he should be playing 25-30min a game and no more to give younger guys as much run as possible.

spjunkies Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I totally understand going ahead with the games that were about to tip when the news came, no excuse to proceed with the night games. Adam Silver crapped the bed big time on this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TradeTheBeal! Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Silver will take some heat on this, and understandably so. But I’m willing to bet the vast majority of players wanted to go tonight and I think it can end up being a healthy part of the grieving process. Mamba mentality or something like that. I don’t know...I might be wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 IT was -22 in just 19 minutes. Beal may be all in for a playoff run, but ITank is getting minutes to make sure that doesn't happen. 2 hours ago, StillUnknown said: 152 points surrendered in regulation Third game this season the Wizars have allowed 150 or more in regulation.

Hersh Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 They needed to play the games today. I would think that the NBA may have weighed it but what about when the funeral is? I would think teams will go or reps from teams. Can't just cancel multiple days of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 Interesting tidbit: According to DA (David Aldridge), Kobe requested a trade to the Wizards in 2001. During the height of the drama with Shaq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually, he decided to not come here because Abe Pollin replaced MJ with.... Ernie Grunfeld. So yes, Ernie's fault.

Jordan's fault, too, for being a ****ty GM, but not for the trade falling through. Lakers likely jus said "hell no". Jesus, if we already forfeited the game today, why are we still playing?
