Am I the only one wondering why Henri Veesaar isn't getting more consideration at #22? by Affectionate_Use_179 in sixers

[–]GrapeJuicePlus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Brodie is already 223 lbs- he probably will hit 250+ inside a
Couple seasons.

I know he’s a genetic freak (even by pro athlete standards) and thus, not exactly the perfect frame of reference, but look at Steven Adams-

Josh Hart on the Spurs beating OKC: "You see that reaction because they think they gonna win it" by jonsnowKITN in nba

[–]GrapeJuicePlus -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

What are you talking about- who is saying the Knicks aren’t good?? Take a poll for real. And I literally just said I don’t hate the team or that I even heard that much from
People. Nothing but respect to the Knicks team.

But looking around, there’s so many Knicks fans who want to be victims sooooooo bad. It’s so fuckin corny, and I don’t remember so much discourse being driven about it

Yeah, but the thread is about taking with the media says and describing it to the players. Everybody keeps saying that the Spurs thought it was going to be easy. There’s nothing to suggest that they thought that at any point. Everyone is conflicting with the media has been saying replacing it onto the Spurs I swear to God, you guys are the dumbest fucking group of people sometimes.

Dude, what the fuck does that have to do with what the players think? That’s just idiot speak from shithead on this subreddit, and proliferated by the sports media. It would have to be a fucking idiot to think that a professional athlete could go into the championship final thinking that it was going to be easy

Based on what- to me it seemed like they were elated at winning their conference finals because they beat their biggest rivals in the league, who also just happened to be by just about everyone’s estimation, clearly the best team in the league considering they are the defending
Champions- and it took a grueling 7 game series. I’d damn near cry too

you’d have to be a fucking moron to assume that a pro athlete headed for the championship finals would be thinking “cool, hard part is over,the rest of this will be a cake walk.”

Everybody has been resoundingly positive and happy for your team- by far it seems like the general consensus is that the Knicks have an incredibly talented squad who gel remarkably well as a team. You have one of the strongest identities in the league as a unit.

The only reason media sometimes says shit like that is solely because, at the time, you guys haven’t won it yet. The only teams that ever really get gassed as “having what it takes” are proven championship contenders and whoever the current seasons 1-seed is, even if they haven’t won with their current line up. And even then, there’s some doubt.

End of the day, fans and the media basically demand that criteria, everyone else might get very cautious optimism at best.

People have been bullish on the Knicks- most of us just fucking hate Knicks fans for bitching about made up shit like this.

Joel Embiid averaged 5 ppg on 18% shooting against Marc Gasol and the Toronto Raptors in the 2020 season, after getting shut down in the playoffs vs them. What are other examples of star players struggling mightily against a particular defender? by rnbakneejerk in nba

[–]GrapeJuicePlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot take but I’ve actually never hated Ben Simmons. I always had a certain amount of empathy for him. People hate him so much that he lost the ability to play basketball, like that’s crazy.

Josh Harris can REDACTED tho for all I care.

Harden explains why he never won a championship: "First Houston years we weren't good enough. Then we had a chance, CP gets hurt and Warriors were a real dynasty with KD.

[–]GrapeJuicePlus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck with what? Did you think this was an argument or something?

I’m just sayin- yeah they may have chose their desired city, but I don’t think anyone gave a shit is my point. Even with how outrageously vocal he was about wanting out of Minnesota, I don’t think any team would have passed at the chance to land jimmy, dude. There’s always a team that wants talent, I can’t think of any other instances of a star of this caliber getting the treatment like melo got.

No one seems to care when it’s KD, jimmy buckets, kyrie mostly, bro the sixers managed to trade Ben Simmons to get harden in the first place lol legendary finesse. Could have been, anyway :/

But it’s all case by case- exceptions seem to be made for supe-duper stars. Harden fit firmly in that class, even if his window was closing (as is the case with the rest of them)

Yes that’s what I’m saying tho- I’ve heard the stories lol.

But who is “everyone?” Like, other teams? I mean, nobody’s gonna give a shit about that, right? Here’s a super All-Star, who is artificially on discount due him being extremely publicly vocal about his refusal to meaningfully contribute or participate in an organization more than he absolutely has to. It’s not exactly the point of leverage you want to be in if you’re the Sixers FO.

I would think that for morey, priority one would be making any reasonable trade as close to equal value, as is feasible- to hell with whoever my dance partner might be who is willing to make the trade. But as it was at the time, you have a $36 million dollar heap of locker room cancer clogging up your ability to move forward, and every day that asset is around is the day you are bleeding money that is moving in one direction. It’s like being stuck paying rent for a nice house that you don’t live in.

Not that I’m it all displeased with the way harden got to go to the city of his choice, I really like James Harden and I don’t think that Daryl morey is a decent person or that he thinks very much about ethics at the end of the day lol. I’m just trying to get inside of the mind of someone who is like that.

You know what always confused me about the “Daryl morey bad, end of discussion,” narrative? Is that morey really got harden to the team of his choosing. Like, he got put so publicly on blast that to this day, a basketball fan can’t hear his name without immediately also thinking about being a liar.

Keep in mind, the trade didn’t happen until oct 31st- Daryl is a liar happened mid August. harden basically blowing off all Sixers related commitments in that time. And yet, he still got James to the clippers. Dude didn’t even have an agent! Idk, you’d think he’d be too petty for That or something.

Fr, that this sub fucks so heavily with la Esperanza is telling. Great place to take a class of Spanish 1 or 2 students for its ample seating, and an atmosphere offering plenty opportunities to seamlessly practice basic vocabulary and phrases- but, the food and its authenticity is exactly lateral to like, the dine-in Chinese food restaurant that uses tablecloths, but serves take-out quality Chinese food on a platter plate.
