The Evil Genius Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Like the Lakers did in 2002 when Karl Malone and Gary Payton took min deals (Malone went from 18mil to 1.5 mil) to chase a ring? Seems that problem has been going on for 2 decades now in the NBA. Edited March 8, 2021 by The Evil Genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 1 hour ago, ixcuincle said: Brooklyn has openly declared they are trying to buy a title, just like GS, Miami and Boston in years past. Kind of sad really. *to be fair GS only brought a title by buying KD, Green and Curry were already there What is going on in Brooklyn is the culmination of spending sprees on Kyrie and Durant last year plus trading a ****load for Harden and buying Grififn GS also had some Thompson guy too, but what teams don't try to buy titles? Maybe the Spurs? What's the criteria that means a team is trying to buy a title? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fergasun Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Seems like an idea brought up for sports talk radio. You can't spend money or make moves in-season for a title? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think only in sports with no salary cap is there a real issue with "buying" championships because teams in big markets can have a huge advantage. In the NBA, working within the constraints of the salary cap, there really isn't buying a title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Destino Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 PG- Kyrie SG- Harden SF- Durant PF- Blake C- Deandre That’s a few years removed from being a dominant all star team. I hate super teams. I hate fans that root for super teams that did not do so prior to their star additions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abdcskins Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Jaxson Hayes absolutely posterized some dude tonight. Nasty dunk. One of the best of the year, even better than the Edwards one. I'm surprised the Pelicans don't have a better record. Their roster is kind of stacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) I don't get the big hoopla when a guy attempts to take a charge and gets dunked on. Just doesn't have the same impact as both player being airborne. Edwards stole that guy's soul. Matter of fact, I think Jackson got there in time. Should have been a charge against Hayes.

abdcskins Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 ^ Haha possibly. I wasn't really paying attention if the guy was set, I was eating pizza at the dining room table. I just saw Hayes take the dude's lunch. The Edwards dunk was indeed vicious. I completely agree about both guys being airborne being much more impressive.

ixcuincle Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 f*** the league for starting so soon after the playoffs ended. The Lakers got like 1 month to enjoy their title before having to go back to work. Then Davis and LeBron go out with injuries. This season's over boys Not following NBA the rest of the season (and postseason) if my LAKE SHOW are not in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
