honestly i'm still confused about what happened with deng. his last year w/ the heat it was like "the heat have unlocked a new phase of luol deng's career by playing him as a small ball 4" and then the lakers signed him and all of a sudden he was not even playable on one of the worst teams in the NBA?
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 6 September 2018 13:21 (five years ago) link
apparently his benching coincided directly with magic and rob taking over and the change in direction they orchestrated. he probably still has a bit in the tank but i don't trust minnesota to use him correctly.

I had to think a bit who the hell RWB was. I've never seen that as a nickname or abbreviation. Always see Russ.

― Machine Gunk Jelly (Spottie), Wednesday, 12 September 2018 20:07 (five years ago) link
Might be me. I hate abbreviations and shit nicknames like LBJ or RWB or CP3 etc. LBJ is Lyndon Baines Johnson, not LeBron Raymone James.
― EZ Snappin, Wednesday, 12 September 2018 20:12 (five years ago) link

The worst is D Wade, because there are so many other Wade's we'd confuse him with.

Just because it's standard practice doesn't make it less stupid.

i'm like 10 posts in and that thread is wild, like shouts to this guy whose floor prediction for michael beasley was a guy who had a much better career than michael beasley:
it'll be hard to pass up beasley with the no. 1 because at times he looks like a more athletic, bigger, lefty carmelo...
but for some reason it is very easy to imagine dude having an abdur-rahim-esque career.

btw gay who was the rumored #1 pick all year slipped to 8th on "character issues" - in this case cowardice - and was picked behind Andrea Bargnani LaMarcus Aldridge Adam Morrison Tyrus Thomas Shelden Williams Brandon Roy and Randy Foye
roy is the only guy on that list looking like he has a good shot of being better than gay and thats far from a lock

Wrong. Brandon Roy is retired and now coaches high school hoops in Seattle. He was easily the best player in that list, including Aldridge.
