New Album & The Beginning of Basketball Season

Whatever the disorder might be , he’s certainly self-destructive. He’s attained a place of special privilege, but as a second offense now he‘s actively working toward losing it all.

I‘m gonna guess too that he could use a new set of friends.

Just read this.....Hmmm.....I thought they usually used a model or a movie star as the race starter. I guess he's diversifying now in the off season

LeBron James to be official starter for Le Mans 24 Hours race​

Precisely ......this is not a sign of immaturity. I feel confident that he learned his lesson. Anything short of that, should there be a 3rd occasion I would bet his suspension would be amongst the longest ever. Im hoping he re emerges and stays the course as the great player he has proved to be

All I was trying to say, is that the system, rules, laws, accepted behaviour amongst who he associates with, have a huge impact in this situation.

Not defending his actions in any way.
Just questioning the label of being mentally unwell, when the above factors, as well as his age, fame, pressures, are factored in.

Seeking counselling to change thinking and modify behaviours does not necessarily point to a mental illness.

A post above that was not explained fully.

I was surprised to read about the Isiah connection.

CP3 surprised by Beal trade, hints Isiah had role

Chris Paul said he was "surprised" by the trade that will send the point guard to Washington and hinted that Isiah Thomas had a role in the deal.

Stephen A says that CP3 knew about the trade all along , and that in order for the trade to go through, his $30.8m a year salary has to be guaranteed. He gets all the big money, even at age 38.

At the 4:20 mark.

 

[jadis]

Question is, which contending team is willing to pay him $30.8 a year (maybe including the last year - so it's $61.6m) when he always ends up injured during the playoffs.

The Unicorn potentially could come to Boston.

 

[Steve Williams]

I think he’s ok Phil. He’s another center that can make 3’s from anywhere

 

[jadis]

Smart is traded for the Unicorn, Celtics also get 2 first round picks including tomorrow's draft pick of Memphis. I like this trade.

Celtics acquire Kristaps Porzingis, send Marcus Smart to Memphis in three-team deal

Boston will net two first round picks in the three-team deal.

Not sure on Memphis' thinking.

Smart as a starter, but at the expense of Tyus Jones?
Wizards get Tyus as a starting point guard.

 

[jerrybj]

Unless the Wizards keep CP3

 

[jadis]

Not sure on Memphis' thinking.

Smart as a starter, but at the expense of Tyus Jones?
Wizards get Tyus as a starting point guard.

Memphis still banking on return of Morant. He and Smart is nice tandem.

How about this. ……..
CP3 to the Warriors for Poole and others

 

[rblnr]

Can anybody explain Washington to me? Trade away your two best assets, one a perennial all star and get zero first rounders back Has anyone seen a statement by the GM?

 

[jerrybj]

The incoming CBA must be playing on the mind of franchises...

 

[jerrybj]

I'm very excited about the changes/trades coming up.

The teams I was most interested in 2022/2023 were the ones with major changes/pieces.
New York and Brunson
Utah with their tanking team
Cleveland with Mitchell
Kings and Mike Brown (and what if any difference he was going to make)
Lakers after their midseason makeover
Sorry to Minnesota. No matter who you get, I just can't get excited about you.

Always, how many wins Pop was going to get
And always how Steven Adams is going

But the mix up of players, coaches, and drafted players makes this even more exciting.

They've succeeded in getting smaller

Meanwhile some Pacers news as they buy the Laker's 40th pick for their 47th and cash. What humdinger news! LOL

Jack, looks like Larry is not involved with the Pacers now.
