    Just because I've got the time today.

    Seems even you don't appreciate Jabari not being able to take advantage of the smaller man.

    That one is really funny. Don't worry - it's not Jabari's job to take advantage of midgets, so why are you complaining?

    Again, why are you so concerned about Jabari getting stopped by a smaller player? HIS JOB IS TO DEFEND AND SHOOT 3s.

    Seems you like to contradict yourself and you're all over the place. No wonder garbage like you is on ignore.

    True. At the very least, he's shown to be a winning, unselfish player who does the dirty work. He just needs to be a little more efficient with his shooting and he's at the Naz Reid level. Stone is banking sometime in the next couple years Jabari can morph into a 40% 3pt shooter that can also get you 8-10 rebounds a night, play physical defense, and tap more into his mid-range game. That's a rare player and worth 12% of the cap IMO.

    Naz Reed turns 26 next month LOL. And he pulled a Jalen Green and disappeared in the playoffs. While Bari hit huge shots and impressed the heck out of the Warriors they keep bringing him up and praising him lol.

    Tobias Harris on steroids (taller/longer, better two-way player) is still a major win for us. Especially on that contract.

    Excited to see him paired with KD.

    Very nice, especially considering the fact he has the potential to do much more with a better offensive scheme. If he can put on around 15-16 ppg with even slightly better fg%, it would be a great deal.

    Can you imagine being Kenyon Martin Sr, knowing you pushed for your son to be traded away from the organization that pays all their young rotation players (KPJ, Jalen, Sengun, Jabari and counting)

    Thats gotta be awful


    Talking about money, @sirjesse what the hell do you do for a living that allows you to eat out every night like that man

    If i'm on ignore why are you seeing my posts?

    Brother feel free to ignore me you act like you're god's gift to this board. I literally dont give a rats ass about you and who you ignore.

    My post of Jabari not being able to back down smaller guys is an "in the moment" reaction but shouldnt be a factor when it comes to his pay which will cover his next 5 years. Its like when Luka got injured obviously people will react to that but then you don't expect people to say he shouldnt get the max because he got injured in the playoffs.

    Theres lots of instances where Lebron lost the ball, Curry got blocked, Kobe missed the game winner etc obv people watching will react to that dossnt mean you shouldnt pay Lebron the max because he missed that game winner or w/e.

    Saying Jabari is overpaid cuz he couldnt back down Curry one time is literally a smooth brain comment.

    It’s my first trip the appetizers were excellent. After I get into the dry aged Rib Eye I will give my final Udoker Post game review.
