I'd trade any combination of those guys except AG for Buddy.

“Just play basketball and stfu” naw.... I don’t know where you are from but Lebron is an American citizen in America he and all Americans are afforded the right to speak there mind even if you don’t agree with what he is saying.
It’s ironic that you are posing as being on the side of fighting oppression while trying to suppress Lebron’s freedom of speech.
I was trying to understand why Pepe's comments ticked me off so much and you nailed it here.
Saying Morey, who supported Hong Kong - who are in legit fear of losing civil rights- is uneducated and not distancing himself from China and comunist society that is based about suppressing civil rights and democracy , yet posting on twitter months ago how and i qoute "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" is pure exhibit of hypocrisy. So yes, he has every right to speak his mind, but he also only cares about social issues as long as they don't affect his wallet. And being one of the richest athletes in the world, yet still being such a hypocrit just to protect sweet China-money speaks volumens of him as person.
To him human rights only matter when he has nothing to lose. But in a second he has money to lose ,he'll back off. Who cares that that people have lifes to lose being trapped in concentrational camps to " re -educate them" as long as China gives his beloved Nike place where they can pay their workes $3 a day?
I'm from middle Europe and country that escaped comunism 25 years ago. Every person who lived under a comunist boot will tell you how much of a hell it is. Imagine going home one day where you worked whole life for your house,car and land to be told to go kick rocks as nothing is no longer yours but it all belongs to party. And if you say anything about party, you will spend 20 years on infamous "naked island" doing worst jobs possible . And no, there is nothing funny about "naked islands" , it was nickname for island without threes where prisoners would work 18 hours a day , whole year. Temperature over summer was 86 degrees Fahrenheit and in winter 35.6 degrees Fahrenheit. Why it was important that there was no threes? So they couldn't hide from sun at any point. For welcome on island you would first be beaten like animal, than ones who guards thought didn't get enough, would have to go through "blood walkthrough" for additional beating.
So yes, Lebron has every right to speak whatever he wants, he also alraedy used his right to be clueless, arrogant about subject that prefers staying ignorant in face of reality because it makes him extra money that he really does not need.
But ,like many people , i have every right to call him spineless , corporate dull , tool.
And i don't want to hear that " what he should say ,it's lose lose for him" . how about saying what's right : "as a black athlete who faced uphill battle my whole life to get where i am today, i belive every person has a right to choose what's best for him" . if that triggers China policy maybe you shouldn't work with these people to being with ?
For God's sake there were people during a game wearing mask in stands because they are afraid that the Chinese government will imprisoned them!

Hield is not so young, we just think he is because he didn't come early to the NBA, but he is just 2 months younger than Evan as matter of fact.

Which is why he MIGHT become available. But look at his shooting numbers compared to Evan. He is far superior and we will need that if Fultz takes over at PG as I hope he does soon.

As part of this extension, Beal cannot be traded for a minimum of 6 months now.
So that eliminates him as a possible deadline acquisition.

The dumb part was giving a bunch of role players (mainly Barnes, I like Dedmon) so much money this offseason.
It's not about the money Lebron makes, it's about everyone.pepe1991 wrote:lol this Lebron - China thing is epic.
Can't wait until he again starts to call out Trump and injustice system while he is fine with concentraction camps in China as long as they make him sweet little dollars. Like, how much money do you need?
I never liked him for no particular reason, but over a years he gave me all reasons i needed ,and ones i didn't need.
Just play basketball and stfu.
And a nerve to call Morey uneducated . if Morey called him uneducated he would be fired for racism in matter of seconds.
Ali cost himself money, not everyone. If Lebron was only speaking for himself it would be different. Morey is costing the whole economy money.pepe1991 wrote:j-ragg wrote:pepe1991 wrote:lol this Lebron - China thing is epic.

I agree. And I don’t (wouldn’t) care that people don’t denounce China. If it’s good for your bottom line, say what you gotta say. Just the blatant hypocrisy of it all is so delicious.
And saying Morey is uneducated on the issue is hilarious.
Is there any doubt in a decade or so LBJ will take credit for people learning about China’s human rights issues?
This is why Muhammad Ali is most iconic sport figure in history. He was ready to throw everything away to fight for what he belived was right fight.
And that's why Lebron is hypocrit that will act woke , wear " i can't breath" shirts and wear nike shoes produced in China where people work for 16 hours a day for $2 so his company can sell them for $200 to spoiled rich kid in Germany, Canada or LA.
Typical company man, that's why nike signed him for life. If Nike decides to produce nuclear bombs, he will be first to shoot commercial for it.

What if your company did business in China and one of your co workers spoke out against them. Then on payday you notice everyone in the companies pay was cut by a third. Was it your co workers right to speak out and cost everyone money?
