Shak_Celts wrote:So I’m just watching Gil nem talk about Brony. The difference in other late picks like that, they don’t get 4 year/8m off top. People are going to talk. No one complained when they were hyping him up, now you can’t say anything bad because he was 55th and 19yo?

I still want him to succeed, nothing against him. I do understand why he’s getting criticism because it’s not just a 55th pick (they are laughing at lbj too).

Hype him like 55th and then criticize like he’s 55th. They hyped him like he should have been lotto. Lbj said he could whoop some of the NBA players before he left college (not exact words).


The thing that boggles me the most is that Brony had access to all the best coaches (personal coaches - papa has no budget limit and he knows all of them) and advice from one of the best NBA players of this generation and you become this clown?!

If his was born to another father he won't have been drafted, let alone getting this ridiculous contract.

Not sure if I'm reading this right, but Ant might have had 3 children within the same year, from 3 different women. Daaaaawggg, wut.


That's ridiculous. He also killed one of his own kids


Wait what?!?! How did I not hear about this?

I'm assuming that it's a reference to Edwards allegedly paying a woman 100k to get an abortion:

Which is a terrible look to be clear but not necessarily something most people would categorize as murder.

The team that ended that 6-season streak in 1981 were the Boston Celtics. Let's repeat history. Let the 19th coach in franchise history claim the franchise's 19th banner.

That's awful. Higher chance he gets cut now? Landing spot for Walker if Cs let him go.

EDIT: Actually, you know what, I think Knicks are capped at 2nd apron so they're also limited on what they can do in terms of additional signings. Not really sure about their current cap situation. I think they can fit one vet minimum and one rookie signing.

OKC and Minny (if they move off Randle for a better fitting 4) are main threats in the West imo.

It's the premeditated taking of a human life. It's state approved killing. Also she made it very clear that she didn't want to do it. I don't think that makes the situation worse than it already was, but it really underscores what a terrible person he is

Keep it about basketball.
This isn't the Forum for this.

Clips recently said he's fine and they wanted him to play the Olympics. I don't think they have any idea what's going on with Kawhi or what to do about it. They just keep giving him money to not play, trying to sell tickets for the new arena.
