I seriously thought you just posted to the wrong board. I didn't realize there was political debate ongoing. But shame on him too then..

Thank you bro. I would a never went there without that BS post. Sorry to throw y'all off, but God damn if people don't see that they have been manipulated for 10+ years when it comes to that, we will all end up fricked up.

I stand for brehs in the hood but I love my folks in the burbs. It's one side of this country that hates everybody else. I feel that my job is to check them mfers, no matter what the environment is

I de again, my bad fellas. But let's see what the dudes bringing up politics have to say, because it's not based in reality.

We couldn't out tank Charlotte so we'll settle for 4th.

The bright spot is that reeves looks like an actual nba player as does keion Brooks.

I'm wondering moving forward can they be our 3rd sg/sf?

Karlo looks all but secured a backup 4/5 position and he works well offensively from that standpoint.

I know it’s small sample size but Reeves and Karlo both really impress me. Reeves is like what we wish Hawk was. He’s shooting 46/43/80 from the field and it doesn’t look like a fluke. He’s small like Hawk but he gets after it defensively.

Karlo is like the perfect 3rd big, and kinda reminds me of Kelly Olynyk. He can shoot, rebound, block shots, and pass a little. If we can get a legit starting center to pair with Karlo and Missi we might have a decent big rotation in a couple years.

I think both guys are gonna be good 7th/8th/9th men

Hawk's value is only going to continue to decline. If he stays here he will either get overpaid on his 2nd contract or be a Kira Lewis like roster/cap complication his final year. Not to mention he gets in the way of Reeves' development. He needs to get moved this summer, even if its in a Dell Demps style trash for better fitting trash trade.

Agreed. People will call it selling low but his stock can get way lower than this. If he has another bad year next year he’ll then be making 7m in his last year and would be a negative asset at that price.

Either trade him this offseason or decline his 4th year team option.

Guys like Hawk are a dime a dozen, I said it when he was drafted. Better shooters than him go for the minimum or near minimum every year.

Gary Trent, Malik Beasley, Taurean Prince, Ty Jerome, Tyus Jones, are all guys on or near a minimum deal that have shown way more than Hawk has or ever will.

That’s why you never draft for need.

Really depends on who we play and if they are sitting anyone.

I am thinking maybe 2 more.

I have us winning against Nets and OKC. Tbh the Nets game may be the most important game of the season to loose since it would make things super uncomfortable.

I'm glad the Nets game is on the road because of that I'm expecting a Nets win and OKC 3rd stringers are a lot better than the team where going to put on the floor.

I can see the OKC game being a loss because this team is dumb enough to think that if we send the fans home "happy" then they will likely purchase season tickets for the following season.

That's why to me the Nets game is super important. Also the Bucks and Heat games can be trap games if they rest anyone or if the Heat doesn't take us seriously coming into our home.

Alvarado shot 4-16 and had 5 turnovers. Was he secretly trying to tank command? Hornets are just too bad.

Jose is unproductive if he's not playing next to a great scorer. He thrives when he is the least worried about player on the floor.

Fasho lol.

It's 3 days before the next game, after 4 days off last week. It makes no sense for Z to still be sitting bro.

The Clippers are balling, Zion should play that game but they should sit him if it's still close going into the 4th. Kawhi seems close to normal and Harden been balling all year, Pels shouldn't have to try too hard to lose to them.

Yeah. I would play Zion against playoff teams still trying and like you said sit him if he is keeping the game to close.

Unfortunately that probably pts us in the 5th spot. Don't see the Sixers winning another game.

Tbf I don't condone either of it. And when you say the N word black folks who are not BossUp catch strays due to racist remarks.

All around I understand you guys are having a passionate debate, but if possible this should be done via PM and not here with basketball talk.

Ps, is there a way to have DM/PM messages here? I can never find it.

Fasho. No problem bro. I'll address it once more just to give y'all a little bit of perspective.

Misinformation is the reason why we are in this position as a country. I feel like if I let misinformation slide, I'm doing my community and your community a disservice. So many lies are spread daily by podcasters, news anchors, and politicians that it has become dangerous to ALL of us.

Millions of people are having buyer's remorse because their life has already been affected. I'm not a toughman acting arse dude lol, however, I have always swung on the bully as soon as that bullying was aimed at me.

I'm passionate about people. Id rather be broke as hell surrounded by good people than have a pocket full of money while surrounded by bad people or people regressing society.

The spicy dude has thrown that "Antifa took over Seattle" gimmick around multiple times. Antifa doesn't have a home court, a coach, a best player, a GM, or even a roster at all. What it stemmed from was BLM protests (which were 90% peaceful and happened in every major city in the country).

What would I do as a manipulative arse leader who has already brainwashed millions of people? I would create an enemy out of the people who are doing what is right. Also, I would name them Anti Fascist.

So............ If a group has been labeled "ANTI Fascist", and I tell the world they are evil and they are the bad ones (once again, they do not exist), then I'm telling you I am PRO Fascist.

Now you got regular arse people who have made an enemy out of a group that is ANTI Fascist. A bunch of unaware folks are literally siding with the fascist in that conversation.

Me personally, I'm gonna make sure I point that out to someone trying to use propaganda as a joke.

It's not funny and it's not a joke. Seattle is one of the most progressive cities in the country. High black population, low arse crime rate, a bunch of amazing athletes come from there, black/white communities get along with each other.

My passion comes from my experiences. Maybe the spicy dude can afford to be ignorant or can afford to joke about something that affects peoples daily lives, I can't afford that. I'm gonna help the world move forward how ever I can. If that takes cutting into an absolute stranger online or in person, I'm gonna do it every single time.

It's all good though. Spicy fella said he was just joking, which is progress (mission accomplished lol). He's said the quote about Seattle a few times so I know that's not really the case, but just seeing him trying to back track and explain his reasoning shows that he was having second thoughts. Meaning he thought about it.

Maybe some of the things I pointed out to him actually registered in his brain. That's progress. Minimal, but it counts.

I didn’t say the N word. I just quoted boss up who has said that variation like 65 times on this board. It’s why it’s in quotations. There is no pm feature to my knowledge unless you are a mod.

Boss bro, you can pretend like you are educating or trying to stop misinformation all you want, but you have said many unforgivable things on this board.

And if we were to truly re litigate the origins of our discourse. It started with you being racist against white women and saying you wanted to kill them. That’s the first time I ever responded to you in a negative fashion. You went off the rails and you were banned. So you can try to act like the good guy or that you are cerebral, but everyone knows that isn’t the case.

Seattle was famous for having ANTIFA zones several years ago. The national media also has an obsession with putting a nba team back in Seattle (and has named the Pels multiple times) as a team that can go there. That’s the origin of my Pels to ANTIFA joke. Is it funny? Maybe not. Is it rooted in being political or trying to spread misinformation? Not even close. It’s not that deep.

I honestly don't recall saying anything like that bro. I don't even talk like that about women. How did a woman come up in whatever the topic was?

I remember the thread I was banned for somewhat, but my anger came from dudes who were celebrating people losing jobs and people getting deported. Y'all linked me to the section for politics, and it was much worse in there lol. I challenged all them dudes also.

I take offense to people laughing at the struggle of others. I'm a silly dude and I can separate line stepping comedy from people getting joy out of seeing others hurt.

Regardless, we are good bro. All I ask is that you pay more attention to the reality of what's going on and that you try to help people progress forward. I know I can do better and I should avoid the talk of violence. I'll work on that if you meet me half way fam.

Deal?

I just think it's beautiful you guys are trying to peace things up. That rarely happens here lol. I respect BossUp passion if what he fights for will help bring all forms of people together.

All in all, hopefully Tigerdroppins can incorporate DMs. That's kinda wild we can't do that in the year 2025 lmao
