There's no point in watching this team. I'm still watching because I'm a diehard, but none of these guys are going to be around next year, aside from maybe Alex Caruso as one of the last guys on the roster.

KCP is going to convince this front office to give him a 4 year, $60M deal isn't he?

I’d probably cry. I’m already having heart palpitations worrying about what Magic is gonna do this offseason.

I'm worried, man.

I can guarantee we'll have 1 or 2 of these players on our team:

DeAndre Jordan
Paul Millsap
DeMar DeRozan
Jabari Parker
Derrick Rose

I can't watch half the games <at least live> due to time zones, but I think Rondo will be here next year there will be a few others. I think Ingram and Kuz will stay, although not sure about Kuz as I don't think he wants to play with Lebum "thanks Lebum"

It’s not KCP that would convince them, it’s his agents Rich Paul and LeBron that would do it.

Never heard of this rapper
But he has the worst name I have ever heard (well, honestly every rapper name I hear seems to be in contention)

I’m kinda shocked that everyone is fine with his name being a racial slur.

I get that he is a total unknown rapper. And rap is a vile offensive genre as it is, filled with vile and disgusting language and racism. But to have a vile racist slur as your name?

How can it be acceptable?

Everyone is saying this racial slur and acting like nothing... what if a some random nobody rapper had the same name, which just had a singular letter changed. From p to g. Meaning the racial slur has changed targets?

Would everyone still be alright with it? (Oh god... I guess that’s already a thing too, don’t google it)
USA Celtics in full effect. Amazing chemistry building experience right there for the main core of the team


Proceeds to finish 7th and shames the entire nation!

This is the most hilarious sh#t I’ve seen in a while. You ain’t from LA obviously so don’t get offended. You’re offending yourself lol by being so sensitive and ignorant to a culture you know nothing about.

This dude is definitely not from LA. You are just offending yourself buddy. It sucks you felt that way but you aren’t from the land and don’t know about the culture so don’t be offended he ain’t dissing Asians lol.

I don’t know what neighborhood he is from
Is it a Japanese area? Something like Nippon?
I have however studied WWII intensely.


I’m just saying. As an outsider to the rap community, the name is a play on a racial slur.

I’m not well versed in rap names. I thought Eminem was litteraly M&M for years. And was waiting for the candy rapper comedy line for a long time.

No. I grew up in Ventura. I have never lived in LA.

Nipsey Russell was a old time blk entertainer. It’s a play off that old timer and NH as in NHC neighborhood crip 60s. That’s the area he grew up in. Don’t be so sensitive my guy.
