@Tuff__Crowd Not entitled. If this is my legit best friend, the holder of all my secrets and personal info, paying for certain things should be okay. For example, on vacation, flight, hotel, transportation, I got them. But if they want a 2k exotic dinner, 15k jewelry, that’s on them, lol
@KuKhahil Just like Cade made Duren better, seems plausible he can do that with Sarr, or any Duren replacement, lol. If Duren disrupts team chemistry, then it’s best to move on, I feel.
@dontknoshi@ShadeShunn@ApronAlchemy@PistonsThoughts But all these reports and rumors make it seem like he just wants the money, and the cost of living in MI is less than CA. So for a player who cares about money, more expenses seem counterintuitive to his end goals, lol. Which is why ppl are saying just take the 190, lol.
@Helaidback@DSPN00@RobertD73356678 His impact goes beyond the points he scores. The stuff he does changes momentum, and a boxscore doesn’t record that. Remember when Reggie Miller ran all game, how many defenders did he wear out during the course of a game, leading to some easy buckets. Stats don’t track that.
@ItachiVgc They did lose because of him. Anytime an All-NBA player and All-Star plays like a role player in the playoffs, you lose, lol. See Julius Randle. See Chet against SAS. Imagine if KAT averaged 8 pts and 3 rebs in the Playoffs, do the Knicks win anything? Lol.
@BrianJYoung1@MobHoops The issue is whether he’s a recurring playoff dropper. All he has to do is play his average. If he doesn’t, you have a bad contract on your hands, like Julius Randle. Great reg season player, All-Star, All-NBA—but his production gets cut in half in the playoffs.
@C_A_R_L_A_M_A_R The Spurs are the only concern for the time being. As Harper and Castle are still on rookie deals. Every other team is good, but they’ll have to navigate around the salary cap, making them vulnerable from time to time.
@JingleJuiced@BullzOverBearz@Maninth97439912@0xBassey Berkshire Hathaway collects about $816M/year in Coca-Cola dividends alone (~$204M/quarter), lol. Sure, they've been investing for decades, so it's not that simple. But the point is that smart, long-term investments absolutely can pay for private flights, lol.
@ayeefkay@MarcJSpears@espn@andscape Just to be clear, the Knicks beat three (3) straight teams coming off Game 7s. That's about as big of an advantage as you can ask for. If I got seven more hours of sleep than my coworkers, I'd be expected to outperform them too, lol. The Knicks should've won, lol.
@blazed2324@IDontCap313@TheDunkCentral@omarisankofa But if you do sign him, you run the risk of him being like Julius Randle. Great reg season, but underperforms in the playoffs, and now you’re stuck with his bad contract. Literally, had he got his reg season averages, not over, just his averages, Pistons could be champs.
