Deal with it. It's the draft. You can't ultimately control where you go. If players could, 2/3rds of the league and the players that came with it would be wiped out. Gotta deal with a draft damn near everyone else. The NBA ain't exempt. Man up.

It's called free agency for a reason. Players should be able to choose who they offer their services to like any other person in the free world.

Im still mad that KG let himself ROT In Minnesota for most of his career. He did hisself a disservice and let Tim Duncan be looked at and ranked higher than him cause Timmy plays for one of the VERY FEW small market teams that run itself well enough to compete with the major markets.

If KG gets out of Minny sooner maybe he has 2 or more rings and more MVPs instead of one.

I have no problem with it anymore....

The NBA has tried so hard to remove any sort of freedom and choice from Free Agency with capped & maxed contracts and allowing the team with the bird rights to pay more that I'm not mad at star players for saying fukk it, If I can't maximize my worth in free agency then I'm going to pick where I want to play based on where I can win, what's the best city to live in, where my friends are.


If you actually paid superstars what they are worth then you wouldn't have this problem of super teams.

Boom says it all right here....Some teams are better at being run but some on here can not understand that.:skip: So some want to act like Bron had the same situation as Kobe, Bird , Magic Etc.....Like Melo did not have the Spurs and The damn Lakers with Shaq, Kobe and Glen Rice...And the Suns in his way but no lets act like the playing feild is the damn same and then say Kobe got 5 titles but never say he on the Damn lakers who reload every two years because of FO and they in LA...Tell that to a player on the Raptors that might be a all time great that has to do it alone....:snoop:

If you're gonna quote me (or anyone else for that matter), it would do you so much good to READ what you quote.

I'm talking about the draft. You're talking about free agency. What compelled you to quote me for your rant?

Using your logic, a team like Toronto should never be allowed to draft a really good player ever again because we'll only assume they'll find a way to fukk it up. OK. So with that in mind, at least 18 of these teams should be wiped off just to avoid this possibility, right?

They can draft the best players available but they also have to understand its a strong chance a player can leave.

This is a possibility everywhere, in any sport. That doesn't mean you have to be happy about it, but that's a reality that sadly several teams just need to brace themselves for. The Wade's, Kobe's, the Stockton's, we might not ever see that again in the NBA, and if we do, we will only see this in select cities. That's what ruins shyt for a lot of people, the fact that you can try to do whatever you can and still realize that there's a countdown to their exit, sometimes, just because it's inherent.

Not saying that a small market team can work but you NEED a good to great front office. Some just don't understand the Thunder had at one time Durant, Westbrook, Harden, And Jeff green......that orlando team with Shaq, Penny, Nick Anderson and Horace grant was epic it can happen but when your front office just cant do nothing its draining and like i said these players know which front office does work and which ones does not thats why LeBron left and bosh and Howard and CP3. With everything starts and stops with rings and the count and the players see others with good teams around them and number two and three players no one wants to go out like Barkley....And its not like they did not try they all did but if not after the 2nd contract when?
