Official 2018 NBA Preseason Thread - Jimmy Butler Does Things

[juanvaldez]

The thing is he only cares about winning if it’s on his terms.
It’d be different if he was like Melo, and didn’t care about winning at all.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Kyrie was jealous that the Celtics almost made the Finals without him.

LOL Ky just wants to win.

If you folks only knew...

Being mad that LeBron is getting praised for speaking out on social issues and nobody takes seriously because you think the earth is flat is one of the wildest things to be jealous about.

 

[casper90403]

Nope

But the implicit message was thick.

Stop. I like you man. But you're wildin with Allen.

Everyone knows what DADDYFATSACKS was implying. Its obvious why they will love him something extra. He doesn't even need to be great. Give them 12 per game and there will be tons of Allen jerseys up in the stands. He's a stereotypical Jazz player, fair or not

That article aabout the "struggles" of being a white duke player was absolutely comedic gold

Kyrie is a strange dude

I do respect him wanting to be the man tho nothing wrong with that.

 

[Hank Scorpio]

Didn't Kyrie re-sign right before Lebron came back? I remember hearing something about him being pissed because he had just signed and wouldn't have had he known Lebron was coming

I think that was his extension from the rookie deal. Every rookie signs that deal. Would've been stupid not to sign.

To me, it reeks of B!tcha$$ness.

 

[BIG FISH]

Nothing wrong with wanting to be the man at all but this reeks more of jealousy than anything.
Then again we probably don’t know the whole story.

Grayson is a dbag, but he's good and he plays hard. Pretty much all it is.

 

[casper90403]

How in the hell was Booker eligible for a 5/$150+ deal coming off the rookie deal? Is that normal? I don't remember players getting that coming off the rookie.

I guess the Uncle Drew nickname fits Kyrie because son is gonna look like someone’s Uncle out there next season after all his knee problems.

yup

true we need a 30 for 30 lol

like you said tho for the same guy who thinks the earth is flat to be upset nobody is coming to hear his take on serious topics is nuts fam

 

[casper90403]

Wiggins

so its normal, huh? Just don't remember seeing that much given.

 

[BIG FISH]

I remember actually seeing that he wanted out before even signing that.
Could be because he knew LeBron was coming though.

 

[juanvaldez]

I'm gonna bet that none of you guys have had a conversation with Grayson or Ky. I've been able to speak with both. Grayson works his friggin' butt off, and is pretty much the nicest kid you'll ever meet. He's a fearsome competitor, and I'd want him on my team every day of the week. Ky is just... different. I can tell you in no uncertain terms that he doesn't believe the world is flat. He just wants folks to question their sources. My discussions with him were pre-Bron. So I won't claim some knowledge of his perspective, but he's always wanted one thing -- peace. Jimmy Butler and AD and Harden wanna play with him for a reason.

 

[Lizakers]

Grayson is a dbag, but he's good and he plays hard. Pretty much all it is.

He’s such a Utah Jazz player.

 

[Platinum State]

so its normal, huh? Just don't remember seeing that much given.

Jokic too

 

[yobyellav]

Uncle Drew has to be one of the lamest superstar nicknames in the league.

Don’t think this is a nickname, just a character he plays is ads.

 

[bballkid11]

What is the word on Lavine?

He should take a prove it deal on a contender

WTH could they possibly claim?

thats what i remember too

 

[juanvaldez]

thats what i remember too

Yeah that's why he signed at midnight the moment he could.

 

[juanvaldez]

Dred wanted him to think about his options, but he felt like the franchise deserved his loyalty.

what an ahole amirite?
