    I’m not seeing the connection, what does cancel culture and the media dragging Chauncey name through the mud have to do with Kobe fans?

      Because Kobe faced allegations of rape, settled and his fans turn a blind eye to it but some of those same fans have no problem dragging Billups through the mud for a very similar situation with the exact same outcome.

          I know about Kobe’s case and not sure how anybody could turn a blind eye to it with as much coverage was given to it.

          The connection I’m not getting is how is it Kobe fans dragging Billups. When it’s clear it’s cancel culture and the media at work. Unless there’s some Kobe fan group on one of these social media sites I don’t know about just dragging Billups.

            People pick and choose who they want to go after.

            It’s odd they went after Billups but ignore Kidd’s history

They were gone the next season, the defense went down the toilet and nothing they did worked after that. Then Hood blew out his achilles, Nurkic broke his leg, Collins has been hurt consistently for the last 2 years, these are all things you can't exactly plan for.

              Okay right there. If those 2 guys were the difference between getting back to the WCF and getting Dame over the hump and out of the perpetual cycle of first round exits or sweeping or gentleman's sweeping the first round, only to get outclassed in the second round, then that's already a problem because guys like Harkless and Aminu are a dime a dozen. That should be easily replaceable. And if they aren't that easily replaceable and so important to the success of the team, why were they allowed to walk? That's front office incompetence at that point and further showing guys like Dame that they aren't capable of putting the team together to get him where he wants to go. The hardest part of building a team is getting the Dame and the CJ pieces. They made it to the WCF but were up against GS (minus KD mind you). Once KD bounced, in theory that same squad kept together with maybe one more key role guy added to it should have been able to get back yes?

                    Nobody.. but I think the Lakers have to do it unless someone like Lowry is waking through the door ready to take that 5 mil tax payer MLE.. **** 120, but 4 years 100 and he’s probably still tradable.

                      What's the point of saying he wants between 100 and 120M. As if teams were gonna say OK we give you 120M when he's ok with 100M. I don't know.

                      Anyway he's doing the right thing but I hate it lol.

                        120 over 5 years isn’t as bad, but hell no to paying him 30 mil a year over 4 years lol

                          Woudn't that be strange to give a 5 year deal to a player the caliber of Schroder? Seems uncommon.

                            Aren't the average deals around this right now. No one said anything when I mentioned CP3 wanting this much. I mean ****, how is Mike Conley making again?

                              Lol come on man. CP3 is CP3, no explanation needed and Conley is better than Schroder at oh I dunno, everything at basketball?


                              Schroder can't shoot, he has tunnel vision, thinks he's better than he is, not much of a playmaker, nothing to write at home about on defense...his play on the court in no way reflects the money he wants. He would be best served as a backup PG making backup-PG money.

                                What do you think Huerter gets paid after these playoffs ? I'm thinking 15ish per year
