Look how many big trades and free agent signings my former Lakers coach and one of my best friend’s, Pat Riley has pulled off - LeBron James, Shaq, Jimmy Butler, Alonzo Mourning, Ray Allen, and now Giannis Antetokounmpo. And of course he drafted the legendary Dwyane Wade! It’s not even a question, he’s one of the best executives in NBA history!
If Wiggins opts into $30 M or opts out to sign multiyear deal with Miami instead - and if Powell resigns - that's a rotation of Giannis, Bam, Mitchell, Powell, Wiggins, with Larsson, Bobby Portis and player/players acquired through 3 different exceptions. Pretty, pretty good.
@RoyalAShepherd If you think that this deal doesn’t go through because of one player that they didn’t want to give up, you don’t know anything about NBA trades. With this front office that you’re so quick to criticize how many teams have been as relevant as Miami in the last 26 years?
As a Muslim, there's something that genuinely bothers me.
Millions of Muslims live in Christian majority countries, build mosques, preach Islam publicly, distribute Qur'ans, open halal businesses, and demand religious freedom,and rightly so.
Some even call for aspects of Shariah to be accommodated in the societies they've moved to.
Yet in some Muslim majority countries, Christians cannot openly preach the Gospel, build churches freely, or practice their faith without restrictions.
Why?
If we demand religious freedom for ourselves, we should be willing to grant it to others.
Truth does not need censorship.
If Islam is the truth, it has nothing to fear from a church, a Bible, or a Christian preacher.
You can't demand tolerance and freedom for Muslims abroad while denying the same freedoms to others at home.
The double standard needs to be called out.
@hottakeharry I’m not saying that Tyler is the best we can have, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to badmouth him. I’d like the team to win, but what I’m trying to get at is that I hate when people make it seem like he’s the only problem with the team.
@AndrewWolfson@hottakeharry Why wouldn’t I be a Tyler fan? He’s playing for my favorite team that I’ve been a fan of since 2003. I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to cheer for my own players.
@SwisherSama@flasportsbuzz No one‘s trying to diminish what he did, but you act like those guys just stood in a corner and didn’t do anything whatsoever basketball is a team sport for a reason. If you want something with individuals, go watch tennis or golf.
@SwisherSama@flasportsbuzz 70 games is better than 55 or 60 just saying so are you trying to tell me that someone making over $50 million shouldn’t try to play as many games as possible? Everyone gets injured during the season, bro injury wasn’t the only reason that he wasn’t playing though.
@SwisherSama@flasportsbuzz Yes, two years removed. He got salty after he was told to play the better part of a season like any other superstar. So you’re telling me if we get someone else you want them only playing 50 games? You’re paid for the whole season not just the playoffs.
