It's not a matter of having "no credibility" or being a "bad poster". Both of those things imply he is actually a Celtic fan, and just has bad takes. He is a deliberate troll who is enjoying every second of it. That should be quite clear.

It is safe to disregard him entirely.

you’re just sensitive

I usually don't use the block button, but in this case, it is warranted. He offers absolutely nothing of value to this board. All of his takes are awful. If you're going to troll, at least be funny or have some sort of knowledge to back up the hot takes.

This is not basketball wtf.

I in no way condone NBA fighting. No. 7 is a **** savage.

The no. 7 guy is Jayson Castro, and he's actually one of the most mild-mannered Filipino players we have. He's a 10-year veteran and I've never seen him involved in a brawl so this was really shocking. But then again the Filipino player who got decked is his club teammate so he probably just wanted to have his back.

I didn't mean it in a negative way. He is just a tough SOB.

I know this is wrong to say. Hell I disagree with myself with what I'm about to say. But I'd definitely enjoy more flying karate kicks in my basketball.

Alan Williams waved by the Suns. There definitely were a lot of "why can't we get guys like that?" takes on here about him after 1 summer league.

When Dominique Wilkins signed with the Celtics he was 34 - same age as Lebron will be this year..... just saying.

He retired just before Balco really ramped up.

Lebron is like Brady. He probably will dominate when he is 40.

I know you're talking the OKC side. But I feel this is a good place to remember that the Noel side is even worse. Declined 4 years/$70M from Dallas.

Several Mavericks teammates believe Noel should have taken the original offer.
“They think he should of taken the [$17 million],” one source close to the team told me. “That's a good number for him. But if he's willing to risk it and bet on himself, you can't knock someone looking for their first big bag of money.”

I assume they are going to stretch Melo's deal... Saw somewhere it saves them $90m or something crazy.

Yep, that is an all time screw up. Will VERY likely never see that type of money again.

If they do that you have to assume he heads to the Lakers or Rockets

Lakers renounce Randle so now a FA

Bill Bradley · Post #117 » by **Bill Bradley** » Mon Jul 2, 2018 9:21 pm

Pacers just waived Al Jefferson, freeing up cap space that could be used on Smart.
