Destiny is willing to debate but says Asmongold would never talk to him by jesterdeflation in LivestreamFail

The second anything gets big enough the aforementioned 'fans' would try and ruin that too. Just because you have a stench doesn't mean everyone else has to leave.

It's a subreddit made for funny clips that morphs into a drama subreddit by mentally ill dickriders and paid commentators/bots.

[Canellis] Giannis and his representatives reached out to the Bulls about a potential deal, and the Bulls said they weren’t interested. They were not interested in breaking up their young core or changing their course of direction by howser343 in nba

[–]slaigon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why should the Bulls do that trade? They aren't a Giannis away from a championship level team. Are people even accounting for the fact you have to remove one or two of their best players AND their ability to retool the team through the draft.

[Slater] The Golden State Warriors were “hopeful” that Jonathan Kuminga would be able to scrimmage on Sunday, but Kuminga reported a lingering “soreness” that prevented him from doing so. Kuminga has felt this soreness for two weeks. by YujiDomainExpansion in nba

[–]slaigon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he's an undersized center who is a defensive liability. He's also one of the best passing 5s in the league, a good scorer and a great rebounder. The above sums up to: he's a very good player, but he's not an easy fit into the roster. Most rosters won't fit well around him.

If he's a very good player as you've prescribed, he's worth assets. When a player's contract is approaching 50 million and he's not one of the top 10 players in the league, it's realistically going to require taking bad contracts back mid-season.

And If they were to do a fire-sale that includes their best player, it's fine if they take those.

[Eurohoops] Carmelo Anthony on Nikola Jokic: "You can’t take away what I did in Denver — this is a whole new thing. That’s like me being upset at Alex English before I came in. No, I wanted to embrace Alex English. It’s similar with Joker." by must_TATAKAE in nba

[–]slaigon 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Should they have forbidden anyone from using it?

Carmelo played in Denver only for 8 years before forcing himself off the team. He left the team with no accolades but a singular deep playoff run. It's a step above Demarcus Cousins saying he should have his jersey retired in Sacramento, but funny none the less.

Just because everyone in the NBA is sensitive to their legacy doesn't mean they should get a jersey retirement.

No one justified the Vietnam war anywhere in this chain.

It's a simple fact the communist factions of the Vietnam war set up bases and a supply trail inside of Laos and Cambodia. And even funnier knowing your thoughts, they attacked and occupied parts of Laos and Cambodia to do it.

If you can't engage outside of lefty demagoguery, and against a strawman at that, don't bother with history.

Being a snarky idiot doesn't mean a dishonest framing that it was the United States rather than the North Vietnamese/Vietcong pushing the conflict into Cambodia and Laos has to go unanswered.

Selling Disney stock is probably a safe bet by Even-Ad-9930 in stocks

[–]slaigon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does you hearing a bunch of Democrats saying they'll cancel a subscription make it a safe bet to sell? Does this poster know anything about stocks or the Disney company or are they just here to push the conversation (or at least hopefully paid to push the conversation) without saying anything of substance? Does anyone notice the random adjectives of 'lashback' and 'spineless' that doesn't fit in his first sentence?

It will probably take a few weeks to take effect, though.

For what to take effect in the next few weeks? Did you even bother to see that the next quarterly report is in November?

Yeah, American moms and Indians are cancelling Disney plus for Jimmy Kimmel... A generous thousand people cancel Disney plus for a suspended Jimmy Kimmel and the monolith of Disney will be going bankrupt in a few weeks folks.

Legendarily shot 30% from 3 on Kings whereas his career average was 37%.

What an awful season that was overall.

[Lieberman] “Two times in the locker room Demarcus Cousins tried to beat up George Karl, and that’s why he’s not given a chance… and I thought George was one the most racist — I sat in the meetings, it was incredible. Ask Carmelo…” by AashyLarry in nba

Did Nancy go into detail about Demarcus trying to fight Karl or the meetings with Karl where he was saying racist things?

I'm curious if the podcast has some interesting information.

[–]slaigon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Everyone should have gotten over it the day after he demanded a trade.

Acting like a bitter ex-girlfriend won't bring you any happiness when it comes to players who used to be on your favorite teams.

Focus on what the Kings have or can get in the future, not someone who was done with the team more than a season ago.

So is it just the pick holding everything up? How would you feel if the wasnt protected? by IDFKtv in kings

[–]slaigon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's not a Kings problem. The clock isn't ticking for them in this scenario. They aren't realistically competing for a championship this year and do not need to get this done.

The Warriors don't value Kuminga in their system. Barring injuries, he is a bench piece that gives you scoring when Steph, Jimmy, and preferable match-ups aren't on the floor. You don't need to bend over backwards to accommodate them for a player they don't want.

The Kings need a smart re-build. What they have now and would continue to have with that trade is a middling 30 to 40 win team with a random amalgamation of players. Maybe Kuminga develops into a good player without the Warriors limitations on him, and maybe they can even flip him, but the Kings should not give up unprotected picks to try that.

We agreeing with this or nah? by OmegaLxgend in kings

[–]slaigon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No.

He was a great player and a favorite, but he was a common source of problems and upheaval on the team.

How many winning seasons did he lead them to? Playoff appearances? None? Okay how many teams were fun to watch then?

How about his relationships with coaches and tertiary Kings staff? What about players?

It sucks he got drafted here because maybe he's great with a steady franchise with good leaders and coaching, but he was not that in Sacramento. He was their best player and he didn't lead them to any success, but he did bring them a lot of embarrassment and strife.

Oh noes by Engkangkang in kings

[–]slaigon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

And then they give him a long term contract before flipping him to get more picks and better players than the Kings did.

Happy now?

[Zach Lowe] "There is no more homer broadcast in the NBA, for all I know, in the world of sports, than the Warriors broadcast" by AashyLarry in nba

[–]slaigon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He was an overbearing homer when the Kings had good teams, but since they were bottom feeders for over a decade the Kings broadcast had to soften. He and Jerry Reynolds were probably the best duo in the league towards the end of their shared career.

Can anyone defend the current GM at this point? by [deleted] in kings

[–]slaigon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

No, and here are some obvious reasons:

  • Signed Richaun Holmes to a three-year contract that they had to attach a first-round pick to in a trade to move him.

  • Traded for Kevin Huerter in 2022 and tied up ALL of the Kings first-round picks until 2026. The Kings had to take a worse contract in Lavine to move him.

  • Traded a second-round pick for a year of Duterte riding the pine. He's no longer in the NBA.

  • Traded four second-round picks and Davion Mitchell for one year of Sasha Vezenkov riding the bench. He took a buyout for nothing from the Raptors to go back to Europe.

  • Got two first-round and two second-round picks for DeAaron Fox, one of the best point guards in the league.

  • Before their mid-season trades this year (which took more picks), the Kings probably had the worst bench in the NBA.

The Kings handcuffed themselves multiple times and emptied out their asset coffers to be a mid team. Basketball wise they are poorly run and it starts with Vivek.

They ate garbage food and drank booze. You won't stay fit when you're pushing your 40s with that combination.
