Randles bytch is hideous


What is wrong with this nikka....

Even I can't defend this @Malta @Gil Scott-Heroin

nikka was a top 10 player last season. Had a borderline mvp year....and nikkas trade him while he’s still recovering from injury...

It’s gonna be comical once he gets back to where he was. When this nikka starts dropping 30 ppg again imma be laughing like them hyenas from lion king

Isaiah will never, ever play good enough that any serious competitor will want him for more than a bench role.

There was a reason that Boston was happy to trade him, and that the offseason signing rumors are so poor. He's a novelty, but your team is gonna be a joke in the playoffs if they relying on him. This is IT's entire playoff history:

Swept by Cavs.
Blown out by Atlanta
Loses first two at home to Chicago and looks ready for a 1st-round upset until Rondo gets hurt
Gets taken to 7 by Washington who only lost cause they got exhausted and hit a wall
Blown out in first two by Cavs and then leaves

And not only is he a career 40% shooter in the playoffs, but his advanced stats on defense are the worst I have ever seen for any "star" player. Brad Stevens is an elite defensive coach and he had all sorts of strong defenders around IT, and they still have a 118 Drtg with IT on the court. His DBPM was -2.0 and his DWS was 0.1. He was HORRIBLE on that end.

If you want a good team, you don't want IT. He will never, ever have playoff success as anything more than an offensive spark off the bench.

For one his style of play kills development of younger players.

Name one. You just made that shyt up.

Second, we all know he wants no parts of playing with younger guys so that might mean the Lakers trading off the young guys.

If he signs to the Lakers, obviously he wants to play with them. Who is the player you are afraid of Lebron trading off, and for what?

And third dude is so much of a front runner. He's pouty as fukk when things aren't going well so in years 3 and 4 of a new contract who'd want that around as his skills fall off.

What does "frontrunner" even mean in that context? You're upset that a player gets mad when his team isn't winning? You'd prefer complacency?
