It is mother f'ing pre-season!! It is my own dumb ### fault for getting suckered into the clickbait, but is someone really getting paid to hype the Lakers and their pre-season games? I can't think of another sport where this happens, why is basketball so silly?
It's just a preseason gamer, GB. Here's one about the Sixers if it'll make you feel better.The absurdity of this Lebron news is mind-boggling:

This doesn't seem like a Thibodeau decision to me. Weird.Minnesota cancelled practice today![]()
I hear they are going to do an off site team building exercise instead.Minnesota cancelled practice today![]()

”Karl Anthony Towns starting to panic as shotgun bullets just bounce off Jimmy Butler”
How many more unwritten rules of the NBA will Jimmy Butler violate? First he throws his teammates under the bus due to a dispute with management, now he's preempting the annual tradition of the Wizards having the first players-only meeting of the season.Shams Charania @ShamsCharania
Timberwolves All-Star Jimmy Butler called a players-only meeting today, airing his feelings toward situation and management, per league sources. Butler expressed to players he would compete with them, as signs pointing to him staying with the franchise into the regular season.

Its with the GM (and/or owner) who won't give him a max deal extension. KAT and Wiggins being soft non-competitors (in Butler's mind) and having max deals is salt in the wound.When Butler has a problem with "management", who is that, exactly? Apparently he still gets along and respects Thibs. Layden works for Thibs, right? The real issue is Butler doesn't respect KAT and Wiggins and that's compounded by their salaries.
Eventually Butler gets traded and moves on. I'm most fascinated by how this affects KAT and Wiggins going forward and how they respond. I can't imagine what guys like Draymond and Embiid are going to be saying to KAT when they play against him.When Butler has a problem with "management", who is that, exactly?

I can't imagine that shipping Butler out for being too competitive is going to light a motivational fire under a couple of kids who already have their Max contracts. Seems more like it would be validation for them to keep doing what they're doing.Eventually Butler gets traded and moves on.

Do you mean after the season? Jimmy turned down a max extension this summer: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-basketball-nba-notebook/nba-notebook-wolves-owner-says-butler-nixed-max-extension-idUSKBN1K403KIts with the GM (and/or owner) who won't give him a max deal extension.

Seems I got some bad information - that's what you get for trusting sports talk radio.Do you mean after the season? Jimmy turned down a max extension this summer: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-basketball-nba-notebook/nba-notebook-wolves-owner-says-butler-nixed-max-extension-idUSKBN1K403K
I thought his name was Herman Gomez and someone was just typing from their phone.Seems I got some bad information - that's what you get for trusting sports talk radio.
This is also why I suck at fantasy basketball - I basically know #### about the NBA beyond the Lakers and the fact that Giannis is the man.
If it wasn't for this thread I'd think Hernangomez was actually two different people.

And people have been complaining about Warriors fans/bandwagon fans. The Lakers won a pre-season game pretty much every Lakers fan not in this thread has been ANNOYING as hell.modogg said:The absurdity of this Lebron news is mind-boggling:

Riley can build the team around Jimmy and a lot of their current players won't be around in a few years. KAT and Wiggins aren't going anywhere.For some reason this didn't occur to me until I read the daily Tom Ziller email this morning- if Butler thinks KAT and Wiggins have attitude issues, how are things gonna work out with Hassan Whiteside and Dion Waiters?
Fair point. On the other hand, Butler is 29. After the next two seasons (Whiteside and Waiters signed for both) he'll pretty clearly be on the downside of his career. I guess he'll still have another season or two of being an all-star caliber player, though.Riley can build the team around Jimmy and a lot of their current players won't be around in a few years. KAT and Wiggins aren't going anywhere.
I'm not saying it would work, but I can see a difference.
LeBron was never going to Philly, wasn’t ever a serious thought for him. Get over it already.modogg said:The absurdity of this Lebron news is mind-boggling:

If he doesn't end up on the wolves I'll be disappointed.Joakim Noah finally cut. I wonder what he will do. Hopefully he’ll retire. Perhaps my favorite player in all of sports.
Noah likes: Rose, Gibson, DengIf he doesn't end up on the wolves I'll be disappointed.
They must not want to upset the chemistry.Anyway, it’s been reported the Wolves aren’t interested.
Much better because it's about 60° warmer.For some reason this didn't occur to me until I read the daily Tom Ziller email this morning- if Butler thinks KAT and Wiggins have attitude issues, how are things gonna work out with Hassan Whiteside and Dion Waiters?
