2022-23 Team Developments: News / Trades / Free Agents / Rumors

Another retired PG attempting a comeback. The fact that he played with Bron already will definitely put him in the mix for the spot we're holding auditions for.

 

LOL. No B Diddy news?

 

Wasnt Culver the 6th pick in the draft a couple of years ago? What’s happened with him?

 

I wonder what this is really all about? Taylor or Jimmy Butler? Hmmm

LMAO

 

What happened with Butler?

 

Rumor has it that in the bubble they had a thing

there was a rumor floating around a couple months ago that they hooked up in the bubble

 

The rumor mill didn’t stop there. It also had her hooking up with Ersan Ilyasova. Whatever. Prolly started on Reddit, a.k.a the suppository of credible information.

 

I heard Kendrick Perkins was smashing too

 

i feel like someone just thought of the most random NBA player and figured they'd start a rumor

 

Yeah the idea of on air talent fooling around with a player in the bubble isn't a good look. Nevermind the fact that she is married with kids.

 

I’m starting another one right now.

I’m pretty sure that’s literally what happened. I think I recall even seeing a tweet along those lines, someone bragging about how since everyone was hating on Nichols for her leaked phone call, that they could probably make up a rumor about her hooking up with a random NBA player and everyone would believe them.

And they did. Those Butler and Ilyasova memes spread like wildfire that week. And since the memes were funny… that just throws more fuel to the fire and causes more and more people to buy in.

It’s honestly pretty disgusting. There is no substance to any of these rumors and she’s a married woman. I’m fine with hating on her for her NBA content. I’d be fine with calling her out if there was actual evidence that she was sleeping around and cheating on her husband.

But just spreading this stuff because it’s funny and cool to hate on her at the moment isn’t cool IMO.

 

You’re right. It is pathetic behavior to do that, but (not to excuse) this is common in this kind of business, and she knows it, and so does her husband of 20 years. The fact that she never dignified any of these rumors with a response shows she’s way above these idiots, and doesn’t give a s***, nor should she.

Mock media types for their takes or whatever, sure, but leave personal lives out of it. (Hoping everyone saw how obviously over the top ridiculous my Beverly post was).

 

Yeah for sure, I don’t think anyone here said anything out of line, moreso just had issue with the people on Twitter and Reddit spreading it like fact at the time.

But if it’s not too late to share obviously over the top but hilarious content on this topic… I couldn’t help but lmao at this

 

Plug in Malika. She's easy on the eyes and knows the sport.

 

There’s an article out that there’s a high possibility that DeAndre Jordan won’t be on the Nets:

He would be perfect for this team. Rotational center who all we need is to play defense and catch easy lobs. He also improved his free throw shooting ALOT over the past few years.
