    Nah bruh, its not what we all say, its what you chose do that has us all talking.

    You chose to go to the dubs when literally every single team had cap space due to the '16 cap spike.

    Just like you chose to partake in CJ's podcast even though you understood how your mans felt about your choice to go to the dubs and then Boogie signing with yall.

    This dude's l*gacy...sad. No one thought he should stick around with the black hole that is Russ...but the way you went about getting your ringss and then trying to defend it...dawg you ssoft and clearly caught up in your own emotions about how we feel about it.

    And here's more douchebaggery...yet some believe LABron is the current ambassador. Yall need an eye exam tbh haha




    And look at this "Charmin"g couple!
    Btw, take #24 off bruh...you ain't deserving.

    KD has the insecurity of mid-career LeBron, and is a puss on the level of OKC Little P. That’s a combination that’s hard to like. Would I take him here joining LeBron next offseason? Of course, but dude has issues.

    PG was scared he would like the Laker’s pitch and straddle the fence?

    I'd love to tell my wife: "My heart is with you, but I'm going to go ahead and go hang out with this girl I've been seeing instead. Just know my heart is here with you and I really respect you and our history."

    The boos at Staples center will help him straddle the fence about his feelings. He chose Westbrook over LeBron freaking James and an actual young core that's only going to get better. The young core in OKC is Hall of famer in Roberson hahaha! On top of that he denied the greatest franchise in history a meeting.

    Smart man.

    I agree with these. Just own the decision at this point and stop the awful flirting with our organization. It's pitiful from him right now and as an OKC fan, I'd read that sentence and feel kind of awkward about it.

    But I stand by everything I've said about him since he made his decision: to not even take a meeting with Magic Johnson really shows you his priorities. Couple that with the way he toyed with the organization (Mintz assisted), he should never be a Laker. I hope we beat him every time he plays. I hope he never makes another All-Star team. I hope he never wins anything in Oklahoma, his relationship with Westbrook sours (like most do), and I hope he ends his career in obscurity somewhere playing with Orlando where everyone wonders "why didn't George ever amount to anything?"

    Yes all of that's petty and no I don't care that it is. Go listen to Chance the Rapper's verse in Baby Blue by Action Bronson. That's how I feel about it.

    Didn't want to straddle the fence? That's cause oh girl was too busy straddling Donatello's bo instead.



    #Bruh?therHood

    Also...is Lowry going to put Masai on blast today?...stay tuned...

    That being said...I'll still think Masai is a dope GM if he ships Kawhi to us at a reasonable rate.

    Summer commitments? As in, going back to Portland to pack his bags and committing to his new home summer type commitments?

    Part of me hoped he'd hit the market next year, but that's not a good deal for him. Houston is going to have a LOT of payroll.

    Man that took a loooooong time. And damn was he overvalued, people were talking max contracts and he gets 18 per, probably right where he deserves. Maybe unrelated, but further proof that Aaron Mintz f****** sucks.

    Really hoped capela would sign the QO, as I think it would have tanked Houston's season.

    Oh well; good deal for both sides.

    I think the Rockets paid too many years. The annual is right for maybe 3-4 years I think, but that's too long a deal. These types of deals to big men have been more miss than hit in recent history.

    Then again, I'm bitter and was hoping at a shot at him next summer.

    He should still be in his athletic prime at the end of the contract. If anything, I think he should have pushed for 4/80 with a player option on year 4.

    The too many years applies to CP3.

    Great deal for the Rockets imho for a guy that led the league in FG% and was highly efficient avg double doubles with nearly 2blks in 28 mins per.

    With "unlikely" incentives, his year 1 salary could be as low as 13.5M and his year 5 salary could be as low as 18.5m. Capela had all the leverage here and could have taken his QO to be unrestricted next year with 15 teams having at least 20m of cap space....but I guess he didn't want to take any chances (injuries, the center position is a dying breed, etc). 80M guaranteed is still 80M guaranteed in a location with no state income tax.

    Fyi: Capela for the first time in his 4 years hit 30.7% in dreb% last season and has never sniffed anything close to 65% in FT%.

    Meanwhile, some thought Jules should get pai...you know what, I'm not going to do that to yall. But seriously....can we all stop overpricing our talent till we're cap strapped, and then and only then should yall be frivolous with our spending. Till then, be stingy AF.
