2024 NBA Offseason Thread

[AZTG]

I was bout to go in on Grant Hill. Lmaoo. Glad I went and read the quotes.

Grant Hill said nothing about Jaylen Brown being a conspiracy theorist. Lmaooo.

He said theres been conspiracy theories on why Jaylen Brown wasnt selected but it was just a basketball move.

Someone gave JB half the story and made him look wild, JB should slap him.

Im open to being wrong though if someone can find the quote of Grant Hill calling JB a conspiracy theorist.

Remember TNT used to have a segment where they guess the NBA player's name because they thought it was cute how chuck and Shaq are ignorant about the league they used to play in

And the game “who he play for?”

TNT dug their own grave

I mean I get it. The best way to get engagement from people is to have them give their opinion on something. Goldie gets us going daily. Twitter is built on opinions as well. There should be more dialogue about the previous night's games instead of shit that happened 20 years ago.

In tandem with lawsuit, WBD using PR strategy to say NBA games on Amazon is anticonsumer

Along with their lawsuit, Warner Bros. Discovery is battling the NBA and Amazon in the court of public opinion.

After that filing, TNT Sports released another statement that pushed home their claim that the deal is bad for NBA fans.

“Given the NBA’s unjustified rejection of our matching of a third-party offer, we have taken legal action to enforce our rights. We strongly believe this is not just our contractual right, but also in the best interest of fans who want to keep watching our industry-leading NBA content with the choice and flexibility we offer them through our widely distributed WBD video-first distribution platforms – including TNT and Max,” read the statement.

That kind of language isn’t accidental. According to the Wall Street Journal’s Joe Flint, WBD is also putting a lot of effort into winning its case in the court of public opinion.

“In parallel to the lawsuit, Warner has tasked the public-relations firm Edelman to make the case that putting games on Amazon would be anticonsumer, people familiar with the situation said,” wrote Flint on Friday. “The campaign will argue that Prime Video doesn’t reach a large segment of basketball fans.”

Basketball fans don’t respect players like that regarding the black or white that’s doing the talking. It’s that simple

You can add on the race part but that’s just it, it’s an add on

 

[Dwayne]

Thanks for backing down then trying to add a “both can be true”qualifier when you didn’t even mention that.

Therefore your initial statement was just you yapping


Like it’s not black dude didn’t start a worldwide trend saying “we done with the 90s” disrespecting legends

 

[Freeman]

You don't have to crash out you got it.

 

[Dwayne]

You don't have to crash out you got it.

And now we reached the part of the convo of saying somebody “crashing out” “in their feelings”

We just talking, nothing more nothing less.
