Didn’t read the article but I assume it’s about Jimmy stumbling across LloydFree’s posts on here.

you guys are overthinking the Jimmy thing. It's very simple, we didn't offer him the full max, he was insulted and he left.
Elton was always lukewarm on him fitting here longterm , and he had his eyes on Horford.

remember when Jimmy was going to release that 4 part youtube series on his free agency decision? and then it mysteriously disappeared after part 1 was released (when he and his crew reiterated wanting to stay in Philly)

it's because it would've been really embarrassing to release video footage of the Sixers telling him "thanks but no thanks" and having to tuck his tail to his 2nd choice- Miami.

and if you're gonna believe there was a feud, it wasn't with Ben or Brett, it was Tobias. As SAS reported. they never fit together and weren't going to long term.

Speaking of coaches that aren’t getting it.

What’s another example of Latrell Spreewell’s behavior that RJ might model here? :thinking:

Exactly. Same thoughts specially on that youtube thing.

Tobias is irrelevant because if they re-signed Jimmy they would’ve let Tobias walk. IMO Josh Harris wants to avoid being a taxpayer if at all possible.

Which means I’d expect they’ll make moves this summer to prevent being a taxpayer again, especially if they fall short of the Finals.

Trey > Doncic. Also ATL got to take a chance on Reddish as well out of it. Great trade for them.

Ayton was at least solid as a rookie. The team that should, unsurprisingly, feel very salty about that draft is Sacto.

Yeah, specially with how Baynes is such a great fit for Booker and the Suns.

Crazy if you think about how Ayton’s league wide value is. I dont think he’s that valuable.

Bringing in 13 mil this year with less wear on his body, plus hasn't even played with Zion yet? I think he's probably fine with it.

Yeah and maybe they use him as a filler in a big trade next summer, then he takes a buyout and is back on a contender by next year.

Man, I was wrong about Houston. I thought they were gonna be impressive but they collectively look over the hill.

Houston is a dumpster fire with two mvp level players that both dominate the ball and don’t play defense.

They will win games based on offensive firepower, and will probably make the playoffs, but they are way too chaotic to make a real difference.
