The Official NBA 2014-2015 Thread: Simp City

Free-agency makes my head hurt.

No, the only mistake is that Simpleton in Chief taking my tax dollars to give you an Obamaphone in the first place.

I feel where you’re coming from, at the end of the day I can’t put myself in a Cleveland fan’s shoes. I guess I just never understood what was so much worse about seeing his decision on a live TV interview instead of finding out through a news outlet. I’m not saying Cleveland shouldn’t have been hurt that he left (I’m hurtin right now) and I understand that the execution was pretty awkward and shitty. But at the end of the day, I feel like those people chose to put their emotions about a form of entertainment above money getting raised for an organization, and I think that’s bullshit.

yes 2016, sweet sweet 2016.

He signed a 2-year deal because of the new CBA coming. Lebron has the best management of any athlete I’ve ever seen. They don’t know what’s going to be the finalized state of the CBA, so they want the flexibility. I don’t see how that’s a mistake.

Seriously when it comes to Lebron, the hate gets so strong people seem to neglect the obvious explanation in favor for the slanderous one.

That post is kinda BS.

Fact of the matter is Wade’s knees are bad. Bosh stopped playing like the Bosh he was known to be, and the Heat couldn’t sign anyone. Say what you want, but Cleveland by far has the more talented roster even w/o Kevin Love. The fact that Ohio is home for him is simply the icing on the cake.

This has nothing to do with looking back at Ohio the second he got to Miami. That’s nonsense.

That post is another example of a salty a Heat fan conjuring up some internal Lebron conspiracy due to his emotions. He went to Miami, won 2 out of 4 chips - which probably should’ve been 3 out of 4 - and made Miami the center of the NBA universe. He opted out, studied his options and made the best decision emotionally and business wise. It is the best decision for him all-around from a competitive standpoint, marketing and his overall legacy. He no longer has to challenge Jordan for 6 rings. 1 ring in Cleveland and his legacy is set.

Like I said before, feel free to be a bit salty - it’s only natural, but Lebron gave Miami a way better goodbye and overall show of appreciation than he did Cleveland.

I’m mad at LeBron because now every two-bit cinematographer and editor are going to be creating endless oceans of video packages with that shitty ass “I’m Coming Home” song blaring all throughout… :bluu:

There’s a 20 second clip of some white girl singing “I’m coming home” and not just the fact it didn’t sound good but THE BITCH ISNT FROM CLEVELAND!!!

Anybody else think if Durant wants a ring, now is the damn time.

We just need a SF really. Clippers still aren’t winning shit this year anyways Spurs are still around, so is OKC.

Heat did well even with Wade doing pretty much nothing during the playoffs. Especially because all 3 opted out, they could restructure their contracts and have some room to sign better players. Short term, I’d say staying with Heat would have been better for Lebron ring-wise. Long term, it’s obvious going to Cleveland looks more promising.

Deng and Noah are the only Bulls I liked, so I have no probs having Deng on the squad.

Now we need bigs.

The Heat now have a really good defensive anchor with Deng.

Best LeBron defender in the East. He’s getting paid the same amount contract wise as what the Bulls offered him mid-season but lack of Florida tax means he’s getting more.

Heat are paying $58 million to 8 players right now, compared to $60 million for 3. Amazing.

It sucks because kobe’s years are too limited to just fuck around with. I wanna say we get good in 2 years but by then it’ll be too late. Clippers are gonna be stuck in that 2nd round playoffs next season.

LOL, even the guy that MADE the mural is pissed.

Mavs Fan.

Houston won’t match offer for Parsons. Seeing him partying with Cuban was too much.

I don’t blame them for not matching. I wouldn’t pay Parsons that much.

Has Wade re-signed? I’m curious what his contract would be.

Why? You’re an established Wade hater. No one wants to see your tired rhetoric about how he doesn’t deserve whatever he gets.
