I get leaving Toronto...he didn't want to be there to begin with, getting taxed out the ass, and he wanted to go home. What I don't get is not maxing the fukk out on your deal when you have this degenerative (ie never gonna get better, only gonna get worse for those unaware) condition.

I really don't understand why he went to the Clippers. Yea they'll be a good team but he can't miss the games he needs to miss and still end up with a decent seed. Maybe he feels it doesn't matter since the path to the finals likely goes through LA anyway? But if he was on the Raptors right now he'd be playing limited minutes, missing multiple games, and managing to truly rest up for a playoff push. All while maintaining the 1 or 2 seed in the east.

He didn't sign in Toronto, he was traded there; he never wanted to be there in the first place and he was born in LA and lives near SD - you really don't understand why he chose the Clippers?

He went for a few reasons

1. Home

2. Build his brand

3. Women and the weed/ sticky green

4. Its cold in the T

5. Take LA from BRON

Just an example but you get the gist of this...

I feel you. I'm a Steph fan. I was dumbfounded by the shyt being said early this season. Just dumb shyt. My only thing was you just mentioning Steph like you aren't one of the usual suspects

Pay the cost to be the boss:hubie:

You weren't in certain threads about other players with this energy. Thread ain't about Steph. You brought him up. Energy is not the same

Again, Steph is your guy

I'm not understanding the coasting argument. You have past highlights to watch and compare movement, missed a full year and scapegoated the Spurs but it's turning out they were right this whole time, sat out 22 regular season games in Toronto and still limped around in the Finals, he's missing games now with the Clippers, NBA made the injury public.

Either he's a super villain faking injury and abusing the system in ways no other athlete has or the guy is breaking down in front of you.

He tried to play those LeBron games with the short contracts to keep your options open..but he ain't LeBron :troll:
