THE 2015 NBA PRE SEASON THREAD: BEST WISHES TO LAMAR ODOM

[kevlar]

they're pretty much the same player lol both are a waste of potential

I thought Swift would end up having a better career than he did

I already had accepted Thomas for what he was

 

[awwsome]

With a name like Stromile Swift how do you not become an all-star? Disappointing to the max.

I thought I was the only that thought this.


His name sounds like he should be putting up 20 and 12 with 3 blocks.

 

[lawdog1]

Did they show the same picture for everyone or is that really supposed to be Pippen?

 

[bhzmafia14]

That Strotential

It's always the dudes with the cool names that are the most disappointing. Swift, outlaw, best etc

Right up there with Neon Boudeaux and Jesus Shuttlesworth

That Tyrus Thomas trade for LaMarcus Aldridge will go down in infamy

 

[casper90403]

Stromile and Tyrus both collecting $45M in their 8 year NBA careers.

fixed.

Stromile and Tyrus both collecting $45M in their 8 year NBA careers.

I didn't realize Stro even hung around that long. I remember Thomas managing to find himself a roster spot on a few teams for a good number of years. But I feel like Swift was out of league in like two years. Guess not.

 

[xbiker47]

Cant remember the last time I heard Tyrus Thomas name

 

[ill steelo]

Always my favorite :x

the greatest name of all time

Why the Hell isn't Tyrus playing in Euro or China?

Last I heard, he's playing in the D-League. Couldn't he make more cash playing overseas?

actually played 9 season. Started 97 games in his career, on his way to earning $45M.

Beautiful.

 

[casper90403]

you know what's scary. Tyrus is only 28!

Come to think of it, both those scrubs went to LSU, right?

He would actually have to play Basketball overseas

 

[va757va]

being better in football in high school is a whole other thing. He made, easily, the right decision. He wouldn't have lasted as a QB in the league, at his size.

He was an ill safety too..byte I agree he made the right choice..

speaking of two-sport athletes from VA, shoutout toformer raider great, ronald curry

Local legend. Boy was a problem in both sports.

^^^Sure did.

Also proof that the NBA is the best sport to be good but not that good.

6 to 7 figure income to warm the bench? Visit all the big cities? Enough money to stunt but can still go outside on the humble? Sign me up.

Makes me resent my parents for not having the genes to make me 6'10"

Seems decent enough to me.

I'm good with not being the superstar. Way too many obligations. Let me be Jerome James collecting $45M. I can make do with that.

The dumbest trade they've ever done. 

 But we might not have D. Rose without that trade.
