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

[awwsome]

lol crying about the 150? where do you see me whining or complaining at? FOH i knew you weren't going to pay from the moment i read you were going to pay me when you felt like it. i'm here just to provide the facts and show that not only you're not paying up, you're now rewriting the story. :x
have some respect for yourself man. hopefully you don't have any or won't have any kids, i wouldn't want anybody growing up and looking up to you as a dad :x :x

dude just give it up. i don't want to place a bet again against a welcher.

You sound super corny saying this over a bet on the Internet, I would never give a **** about what somebody like you thinks.

If Reggie Jackson gets 5 year / $80mil, Tristan should get at least that amount of money AAV


What he's doing is all leverage. Because if they lose him, then things get a bit more tricky for them because they'll be capped out anyway with players.

 

[rook]

Reggie had a 20/20 game doe

Idc man I just don't like TT game so there is just no justifying me paying him that much.

Jackson get $80 million Is wild as well but I actually like his game a lot.

it's not just over you not paying up, it's the actions you took and the character you displayed afterwards. i never said or wanted you to care about what i think about you. why even add that your comment?

I could see TT getting close to that. Then again if Reggie Jackson was asking for 94 million I would have had the same reaction as I did for TT

But I guess 80 is a lot of money too

get very tricky, since Mosgov is gonna be gone. They'll probably look to move him before the deadline. Cavs will be back to being small again.

It's more so leverage + hey this is the market.

If he leaves, depth will become a huge problem for the Cavs.

So I'm not too shocked at it at all.

Also if he leaves. it allows him to become a starter. Which I believe he is certainly good enough to do.

A starting pf?? srs? how? not for a contender you mean? like, the 6ers? or the magic?

You don't know me or anything about my character, stop wasting space and keep it basketball talk.

Not really. If he were to sign for some ungoldy amount, Cleveland would be foolish to wrap all that money into two players who play the same position (who can't really play at the same time), not even including MozGOD whom is probably the most important big on that team. They haven't even paid MosGOD either

I understand why TT or any player would ask for the max. I'm simply saying any team who gave that to him would deserve what happens to them

He could end up with Reggie Jackson money and I wouldn't bat an eye. If he ended up with a max I would be surprised

I mean, why would I care about that little bet? I come here to talk sports.

It was all good till you came in here and started rewriting about what really happened..

NT isn't serious, I enjoy the jokes most of the time.

A bet's a bet man. Whether its a double double, $150, or $1500. A bet is a bet. And as a man, all you have is your word. 

Shows alot about somebody's character.

 

[kevlar]

Tristan is better off taking that QO

Reggie Jackson got a max... This is just what the max goes to with the cap increase.

And the leverage is LeBron. They do whatever LeBron tells them to. So if LeBron wants him, and it's safe to assume he does based on the past year. Make the Cavs do whatever to keep him.

But let's say they drop TT because of it, and go with Mozgov.

Unless they let Andy go (not sure they do). They have no money after just a Moz cap hold + roster cap holds. Even if they did drop Andy, they'd have about $5mil at the maximum, likely less.


So they'll have to bank on Kyrie - Shump - LeBron - Love - Mozgov & Andy off the bench to get things done.

They'll get guys to sign on for minimum, but those have typically gone bad, and didn't contribute anything. So you basically set the window for LeBron to this year.

Because 2016 while they would have a Top 2-3 Starting Lineup. They have no bench depth, and 2 starters who are injury prone.

The Leverage is if LeBron thinks he needs Tristan as piece to get a title, ALONG with Moz, he'll get his money, and so will Moz. And if they let both go.. Unless there is a replacement. He could always leave again. Don't think he does. But he could threaten it.

Whether he deserves a max or not is besides the point. It's the market.

yeah i was poking fun of what he said earlier lol. dude really wants people to bet with a proven welcher.

THIS.

The fact that dude still straight prances around here with no shame is  :x  and  at the same time.

I mean, why would I care about that little bet? I come here to talk sports.

It was all good till dude tried to say he was gonna "put me on blast" if I didn't pay him.

NT isn't serious, I enjoy the jokes most of the time.

If yall really care that much, I'll have a $150 head to head contest on DraftKings & FanDuel when the season starts for all members of NT vs Me.

Seth looks so much like dell when he plays. His shot, they way he lays the ball up. It's crazy. Steph must've got everything from his moms or he's just not from this planet.

Right, and with the market you obviously saw what TT got this year. If TT got the same contract as Reggie Jackson this summer, I wouldn't have been surprised

Next year with the cap increase, I still wouldn't give him the max. I'm not arguing the market even, we've seen a ton of guys get big deals they don't deserve that set franchises back

I wouldn't say TT would set a franchise back but if that franchise didn't already have an elite player alongside then you're compounding the problem

The LeBron angle flew out the door once they kept Love for the max. They aren't going to pay Irving, LeBron, TT, Love and MosGod along with what they gave Shump. TT has no leverage 

 

[mr marcus]

Yall been going at it all summer what was the original bet btw? I forgot

 

[EddieDoyers]

On my future bets, the amount is going to be $17.38

I'm beating a dead horse

(referencing the "I lost a bet so lets just have a competition that I have an unfair advantage in so I get a second chance at said bet" mindset)
