Zimbra Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Goddamit, it finally happened: Udonis Haslem officially announced his retirement, making me older than every active player in the NBA. It's so over. Also Haslem is one of my favorite players so respect to him on a damn fine career. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, too, kept hoping he would stick around another year to keep one player older than me. I think only MLB still has active guys older than I am amongst the big four. I assume Udonis gets a coaching job from Miami, and pretty much works there for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean that is always the debate - but that applies to all Team Hall of Fames/Ring of Honors, etc... I look at them like the WWE Hall of Fame in that they are gonna put whoever the fuck they want so don't try to think about it too much And this is from someone whose favorite team (the Yankees) have WAY too many people retired Plus if you look just at franchise stats - they both rank fairly highly in a lot of categories 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, no Heat player going forward will ever wear #40 again because of Udonis Haslem. He's never going to see the Hall of Fame unless he buys a ticket. But his meaning to the Heat franchise is immeasurable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dolfan in NYC Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 James Harden has said he will hold out of Sixers camp and is demanding a trade to the Clippers.

The Sixers say they have taken him off the market and will bring him to camp. Certainly James Harden wouldn't consider showing up so he gets paid, but being wildly out of shape and putting forward no effort. That isn't something he would do, right?

Kuetsar Posted August 13, 2023 Share Posted August 13, 2023 What an ass. If you want to go to the clippers, maybe don't opt in to the last year of the contract. Oh, but then you dont get paid. Get out of here, you POS. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted August 23, 2023 Author Share Posted August 23, 2023 14 hours ago, Zimbra said: Harden got fined $100k for his comments on Daryl Morey A bit of context for anyone curious: Harden was interviewed by the NBA because they thought Philly might've struck a Joe Smith in Minnesota under the table deal for a new contract this summer when he signed for less last year. Harden explained that the lie was actually that Morey had promised to trade him quickly when he opted in, then instead is holding on to him. So Harden essentially was fined for publicly trying to pressure the Sixers into trading him. It appears lying to Harden, if Morey really did, will carry no penalties. (I still can't believe Minnesota ended up basically wasting KG's prime because they negotiated under the table with Joe Fucking Smith. The ended losing I think 4 first round picks over the course of five years.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Fowler Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 I don't think we need a thread for the FIBA World Cup, but what the hell happened to France? Canada beat them down by 30 to start group play, and then Latvia made a comeback and knocked them off by 2. France, the defending Olympic silver medalist, the team that has the most recent wins over the USA, etc etc is eliminated before even getting to their last group play game. The good news for them is they still get to play in the Olympics because they are the host country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReiseReise Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 To sooth your worries, Lithuania is now the team with the most recent win over the USA. I'm really amazed how well Germany is doing, beating teams they lost to two years ago. Spain are also eliminated, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dolfan in NYC Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 The Blazers, who are famously trying to trade Dame to anyone *but* Miami, have found all the offers they're getting are "unimpressive." The expectation is if he gets traded to anyone but the Heat, he'll hold out and instantly demand a trade ((to Miami)). (The parenthesis are because, of course, he's not allowed to demand a trade to a specific team. Nope. Absolutely not.) It's gonna be hilarious when they finally go back to the Heat and end up getting like half of what was originally offered by the Heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
