Him and Thibs are dinosaurs man.

This is all correct.

Give him a good culture and he would probably be an excellent teammate ( but obviously my exposure to everything is through the media so I don't know too much- just a read)

Requests a trade to the Nets, Knicks, or Clippers

Jimmy is the fraudiest fraud that ever frauded.

I think whenever you got the time, everyone would appreciate it. **** Durant but dang, I am looking forward to the season. Love 'em or hate 'em too, the league is better when the Lakers are relevant.

I feel like KCP and Kuz could be good players if they just took about 33% less shots.

kat very well may work as hard as jimmy. i wouldn't be surprised by that at all, but he doesn't have the same kind of bulldog mentality. that's not necessarily a criticism, though butler would prob say he doesn't have it in him at all

Okay you got it chief

.

I agree on both accounts.

First, NBA may be the only pure sport left. I call it the Cadillac of professional sports.

Second, LeBron + Lakers = very simply Crazy Interesting

So we have a tie between vaya and guivre for most TZ points!

Wrane,

Do you want me to make the 18-19 Season thread? I can tackle it later tonight if so.

If only I had the opposite and incorrect opinions I might have an NBA front office job right now. I'll happily take the TZ Points instead. McLovin you are gentleman and a scholar and I humbly accept this honor.

It’s also possible kat works hard in terms of developing his skillset, but doesn’t play as hard as he could. Like maybe butler thinks he dogs it on defense. Doubt many disagree with saying Wiggins doesn’t play hard. Iirc some of the player tracking data showed how much he loafs

that may be but they aren't places that someone who 'only cares about winning' requests a trade to.

He wants to be the man, winning is probably important but he wants it on his terms. Notice how the teams he requested are large-market teams just good enough to be decent with him.

None of which, imo, would be better than the Wolves had been if Jimmy had only kept his mouth shut and deferred to the real talent KAT. Crimeny, he almost knocked them out of the playoffs singlehandedly by trying to take his gimpy-leg against Paul Millsap when KAT was being guarded by Jokic... I can't make this stuff up. I bet JTM remembers.

Looks like someone was inspired enough about this post to put it up on r/nba and get a bunch of upvotes.

PBAL can you just confirm our wager to avoid confusion down the road.

I would prefer for $25 each:

Raptors o55 (my $28 to your $25)
Rockets o55.5
Jazz u49.5
Pelicans u44.5

but the post you quoted had Suns o28.5 and Jazz u49.5 in it as well which I had already gotten elsewhere before you quoted. If you insist on including the latter I'm fine with it just quote our action so we know.

Jimmy only assisted to Towns in the clutch three times in the whole season; two of those were in the first 2 weeks.

Jimmy has a jealousy thing where he just needs to be the man. He also thrives on conflict and is probably as happy as he'll ever be right now. He's also an *******.

A young apprentice like Jimmy needs his master.

Yazz have a history of badass coach Jerry Sloan and now Quin Snyder. He wouldn't do that **** with one of them

And if he tried to take over Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell, Jingling Joe, Juan Stockton WIM team with 3rd strings he'd have a few problem

Tank your value and join the Jazz to threepeat 2020-2022
