    It is hard and I don't know what the basis original was.

    But I do know people often like to simplify positions even though they are fully aware of their initial implications or the implications of the person responding to their comment. I'm not saying you are going that but it's a go to when people don't want to admit their original position was flawed or hypocritical

    Did you just call someone that makes millions of dollars playing basketball a slave?

    Yes. He signed a contract with the Rockets and leveraged his influence to run cp3 out of town for WB.

    I promise you there are much better Rockets to Stan. Yao for example. He never quit on this franchise for one second.

    No reread if you want thats how this conversation started. I said someone was being a little sensitive because they were overeacting to what Jalen said and they said something like thats rich come from some whiny guy or something and they were talking about me not liking how harden acted thats literally it.

    The biggest achievement and challenge of Durant's career is going to be winning a title with Harden on his team.... Just imagine everyone in a huddle and wondering why Lil Baby has to be there in the middle....

    San Francisco has gotta be in there. I love Houston as a normal joe but I feel like millionaire celebrities love SF.

    Damn. His comments really picked up some heat on twitter lol

    Houstonians always been mad sensitive about the city being seen as a meh city, but judging by the way this blew up, people from detroit gotta be twice as sensitive

    Anyways, respect to Detroit for this classic

    if we didn't after trading for him and him being solid and within a few small millions in nba context difference from theis, that that isn't very smart management. I was undert the impression we would keep him if the price was reasonable, which it turned out to be and he just chose there.

    I do think houton is one of the top nba destinations, but even people avoiding the knicks or la if it dolan or sterling running the culture.

    We know Texas
    Texas and Florida having no state tax plus fine women is a plus. Granted fine women are everywhere. Chicago is nice just seen as more dangerous and the Bulls as an organization just isn't trusted. Toronto being in Canada is just not American enough for a young man getting so much American money.

    You need a defensive player to pair with Wood. Kelly wasnt going to cut it.
