I applaud star players dictating ish in the NBA

[Ethnic Vagina Finder]

Teams now have short windows to build a winner. It's good to see players exposing GM's that don't know shyt about basketball and putting a squad together. I hate the heat, but only because I never liked Lebron or Wade.

The best players are forced to go to shytty franchises when they come in and if that team fail to build around them, they deserve to start over. The owners have no player loyalty and only care about revenue generated by their star players. Lin is a prime example.

I don't see how anyone could have a problem with nikkas taking their destiny into their own hands. The days of teams making shytty moves and being able to say "Well at least we got *insert star here* to bring fans in" are over. I for one am happy to see the end of one sided loyalty.

Man...Bron was that paradigm shift like I spoke about last week.

These dudes aren't waiting anymore...and I'm all for it.

Yeah you right cuz these owners are businessmen and only care about the dollar. The players should do the same and its good business to put yourself in the best position to win and market yourself to the best audience.

So to prove this they go to teams where Billy King is the GM and Donald Sterling, Jim Dolan, and Jim Buss are the owners. They expose GM's that don't know shyt by making execs that don't know shyt look like geniuses.

True story. Most players sign rookie entensions (Love, Westbrook, Durant, Rose recently) and most people before them, but if you do not build a contender around that star by the time their unrestricted free agency comes up, they need to walk to the best situation to win titles, and it's udnerstandable.

Kevin Garnett is the poster child for this.

Back in the 90's, players like Clyde Drexler and Barkley switched teams, but it was on down side of their careers.

Players clearly see that the league is top heavy so they need to align themselves with quality players to have a chance. Sending NBA players to the olympics and world championships don't help neither. It's indirectly encouraging the shyt. Players use to be about the money, but the money has gone up so much that it don't even matter at this point.

I agree..except when its done in bytchmade ways like with Howard..

Players though also should undertsand theres a cap so they want to make as much money as possible but also have to realize its not easy to get a lot of help around you that way..Lebron took less money to go play with two other big names..

Melo wanted his money and to dictate what team he went to and got it but it also forced his new team to have to be gutted to get him and he wont ever see a ring..

Only reason I hated The decision is he didn't take his talents to the chi.

Not chuck. When he went to the suns, he was in his prime and won the MVP his first season there. And they had a squad. Too bad they ran into the bulls in the finals.

Realest shyt I have heard in a minute. Respect the honesty. I am so tired of nikkas going on and on about arrogance and how wrong he did Cleveland when the same nikkas would been if he had chosen their squad.

But he bytched his way out of Philly in doing so.

I appluad all of them beside that fakkit Howard. He's come off looking like a complete dikkhead. And he deserve every criticism for it. I applaud Bron, Melo etc though.
