monkeu just uses the Warriors (and Drake) for an obnoxious online persona. I don't believe he really cares about either.

He absolutely cares. This is what the majority of fandom looks like. His posts are like if I wrote down a conversation with a coworker.

The internet is a microcosm and this thread even more so. You can't assume everyone talks about sports in a level headed manner. Most people like sports for extreme pride or unrelenting poo poo talk. I think it's kind of weird he gets chain banned but only in the sense that yeah it's lovely to read his brick wall posts about Lebron but if you were to point that out in real life in a group of people talking sports everyone would look at you sideways. What I'm saying is thank you NBA N/V for being cool

He didn't start posting here until he got threadbanned from the rap thread after he randomly decided his whole thing was gonna be posting about Drake/Pusha T in the most annoying way possible. Then he just did the same gimmick but about Steph Curry/LeBron. He's a middle aged guy on the other side of the planet willing to spend $50 to annoy people online for a day. Fandom's got nothing to do with it.

Isn't the problem with having cap space this year that the free agent pool is terrible compared to next year?

Detroit will never get a superstar in FA so you kind of take what you can get and hope it works out better than Ben Gordon, Charlie Villanueva or Josh Smith. We need a real center and Ayton would fit very well.

22-year-old Targuy Ngombo, who turned out to actually be 27-year-old Tanguy Ngombo.

Remember that time the Pistons signed like 8 centers

Everyone made fun of that and then they immediately flipped a couple of them and they had a normal amount of centers on the roster.

Think we're officially bowing out of the Ayton sweepstakes with this one.

Does the NBA have a precedent for dealing with DV cases? I can't think of any high profile ones like with the NFL. But there are way more NFL players than NBA players.

2K blowing out the franchise mode might get me back in for the first time in years

Considering how many of their historic teams are full of generic guys because they can’t get the rights to everyone (shoutout the 04 Pistons without Sheed or Tayshaun) I am skeptical of them having period accurate rosters and classes.

I still chuckle reading some r/nba karma post where all the Seattleites were circle jerking themselves about how Seattle is actually the real Mecca of basketball because it rains there all the time so kids have no choice but to spend their time at indoor gyms

Maybe it’s because my team sucks but the whole “just extend him because he’s young “ and “what else are you going to do” reasoning is how you end up trying desperately to dump Buddy Hield. Also I’m relatively glad we didn’t end up extending WCS or Bagley or Harry Giles

Buddy Hield was older when he was drafted then RJ is now.

If there’s more teams in the league does that mean that the regular season would run for longer?

Probably would just mean that you play all your in conference, non-divisional opponents three times instead of playing some three times and some four.
