Damn, PG13, King James, and Kawhi on The Lakers, can save the NBA from another GSW win, also another Celtics vs Lakers rivalry would be cool. I might he biased, but PG13 to the Jazz is what I want to see tho, PG13, Mitchell, and Gobert, with the Coaching of Coach Snyder can be a top title contender Lebron, Leonard, and PG13 is truly a pipe dream but I doubt we get all three. But I will be very happy considering Leonard is my current favorite player in the league.

Kawhi Leonard has informed San Antonio he wants out and his #1 choice is the Lakers. Things could be real interesting here in the next few weeks. A team of LeBron, Leonard and Paul George could be a legit threat to Golden State. 3 streaky shooters, 2 of whom have never actually done anything. Warriors in 5. Put down the pipe

I certainly hope so. Even putting the fact that he is never there aside, he rarely even puts any effort into anything when he IS there. Suplex City was interesting the first time. Not so much every time since. Yup. Boring!

First question: Why was the manager that was fired not a "good fit"? I'm sure you're not privy to staffing decisions, but I'm also sure there's enough "word going around" for you to piece together what happened. If the guy managing Team B asked for you specifically, that's a good thing. It means you're known as a mover and/or shaker. Second question: What's the conflict of interest? Are they related? If so, I don't think you have anything to worry about in the way of "they're going to get rid of you just to move the other person over". If they're related, that's not likely to change unless it's through marriage. Third question: Could this lead to something even bigger? If so, you'd be a fool not to take it. It shows you're adaptable (especially if you bring a high level of governance to this new team and work well with them). To make a long story short, the manager that was fired wasn't a good fit for our company's culture. As you stated, I am not privy to the exact details, but I know enough to make my own assumptions. The conflict of interest is indeed a relation, through marriage; but still a conflict. This move could give me an edge for further development in the future. My boss specifically told me he sees bigger things for me in the future. This whole situation kills me to not be able to speak to any of my direct peers, especially my other shift partners who I have developed friendships with during my tenure. I know I can succeed at this new role and I am most likely going to take it but part of me can help but wonder if I am expendable. And as for the post about all people being expendable and nobody being safe, that actually is wrong, in my company anyway. My job is safe for as long as I continue to succeed. The average of time in at my company for employees is 15 years, there are people here that have been year longer than I am alive. Also.... happy belated birthday, TheLastDude! If it pays better you better take it, considering you like what you do to some degree.

You work for a company that makes 2 products...Type A & Type B and neither are more important then the other.... So tell us, are you over Right Twix or Left Twix? I think you deciphered the code.

If you work in the private sector, you are definitely expendable. Nobody's safe.
That being said, do you even have the choice? Is the pay better?
If the pay is better, take the money and run with is as much as you can.

Did what he (LeBron) wanted to do there (Miami) and went back home to try to get the Cavs a ring. And he did - in historic fashion. Let's be real. LeBron went back to Cleveland as much to repair his broken image after the Decision as he did to get Cleveland a title. Some people act like he did some great unselfish act when he was absolutely acting in his own best interest. He knows he is a brand and the brand suffered from how he handled his first exit from Cleveland. Many say he put the shine back on his tarnished image in 2016. I don't. He's still the biggest bitch in the NBA with his blackmailing of management tactics, the constant whining to refs, the tendency to quit as soon as the going gets rough in key games, and his general self-entitled attitude that "I'm the greatest so hand me some rings please". If LeBron really cares about Cleveland, he won't leave a broken franchise behind as he goes off in search of another ring elsewhere. Ever hear of a sign and trade? But nope, he's probably gonna go away via free agency and leave Cleveland with nothing - no lottery pic players like Irving and Wiggins, no players with any trade equity because average players got above average contracts to keep LeBron happy, and an under qualified coach who was hired simply because he knew his role - to be a yes man to LeBron. You can blame Dan Gilbert for how bad the Cav's are as he has certainly contributed but he did a LOT to keep LeBron happy and it is all going to bite him in the ass if/when LeBron leaves. All KD did was get tired of playing with Westbrook so he got a blank check and went car shopping - choosing the new Ferrari in the lot over the several dozen used Ford Escorts. Yes, you can call him out for taking the easy way but let's not give LeBron a pass as this guy uses franchises and then leaves them broken when they can't do anything more for him. I too love playing 2k with the sliders turned up on my end. I can score like 200 points. I also love having the test questions ahead of time. Makes the test easy.

KD did Lebron a solid in that there's literally nothing Lebron could do that would be considered as punk ass as joining a 73 win team lololol

Nahh. Hating the player is more accurate in this scenario. As you like it, but I will call you out if you say a single word in support of LeBron after he does the exact same thing for a third time this off season. LeBron is the king of chasing rings by trying to stack a team. We're all waiting to see what team he blackmails into mortgaging their future so he has enough stars around him to challenge for a title. Nothing will top what KD did. Saying otherwise is the exact opposite of truth.

Sadly the debate has reached the point where we aren't arguing if it was a bitch move but who in fact made the biggest bitch move. *sigh* NBA players chase rings! It's a fact. KD did it better than most and now has two rings, two finals MVPs, and bragging rights over Westbrook, Harden, LeBron, etc. Don't hate the player. Hate the game. Nahh. Hating the player is more accurate in this scenario.

You're making our argument for us dude Everyone is sayimg kd did something unheard of and that it ruined the nba. 1. If someone else did it, it's not unheard of 2. When someone else did it, they never even won. You still have to go out and win the games. 3. The only people still mad are LeBron fans that are mad that he doesn't have the most super of the super teams so that he can be handed rings like he is bullcrap foul calls and unwarranted praise Jr Smith didn't lose that finals. LeBrons little princess ass did when he quit on the game in OT and proceeded to act like a 12 year old and break his hand. I don't understand the need to hate any and everything that skews the odds against him to make him work just a little. LeBron is about to bail on a team for the third time in less than a decade. And y'all get mad when so.eone else does it once and use previous years record as a crutch to justify it when teams fall off or hit a come up all the time. We get it. Y'all pray to LeBron over dinner. You pass the collection plate at church for lebron to come to town. Y'all dream about raising little LeBrons as your own. Y'all can't wait till bron descends from the heavens to save earth. And you're a Lakers guy right? LeBron won't even get you to the finals. He'll eat Steph and kd Cheerios (because the original word was pushing it - Your loving mod) again. So go ahead and figure out y'all excuse for next season. Bruh.. take it easy will ya Just because KD pulled the Bitchiest move in all of sports history doesn't mean you gotta talk about eating Cheerios (see above). Lol

To everyone in this thread: Out of all the “bitch moves” we have proposed.... Give me another mvp that went to a record breaking team that already won a championship without you, and you were up 3-1 on that team in the playoffs and couldn’t seal the deal. Go ahead... I’ll wait Charles Barkley. Won an mvp. Was up 3-1 on Houston in the 1995 playoffs and went on to lose the series. In 1996-1997 season he signed with Houston. They had just won 2 of the last 3 titles. One better than golden State winning 1 of the previous 2. Maybe he waited a year, but he couldn't control when he was a free agent. Maybe Houston didn't win 73 games, but that's an unfair and very biased standard because only one team has ever done that before. Shaq and Stockton could have joined the 72 win bulls and "well did they win 73 games though??" So AGAIN, this isn't unheard of. Barkley did it. 20 years before Durant. If this isn't check mate on this discussion, it's because people don't want it to be. You're making our argument for us dude

Going to GS was s total bitch move and you know it. So it was okay for LeBron to go to Miami and not a bitch move? Also, one negates the other? Hmm sounds like we agree more than you think.

See I don’t get why people still act like KD did some unspeakable act by signing with GS. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity as the cap spiked like it never had before. KD realized he would likely never win with Westbrook trying to pad-stats over winning. KD had every right to sign with GS. If people crap on KD, they gotta crap on LeBron for doing the same in Miami. People make the excuse that Miami was bad before getting the “big 3,” but how can putting the best player on the planet on a team with a top 5 SG of all time, as well as a top 5 PF at the time not considered a parity killer? Can’t forget they also added Ray Allen and Shane Battier in the following years too. Atleast GS mainly built their squad before signing KD. Iggy was the only core player they didn’t draft before getting KD. If AD has the opportunity, he’ll jump to GS. It’s all about money and winning, and currently there’s no better combo of that than in GS. Even if they give up Thompson and Green to get him, a core of Steph, KD, and AD is still a Title favorite. Hot take: LeBron had a more talented team in Miami than kd did in golden state. Wade>curry Bosh>klay Ray allen>iggy Battier>swaggy p Rashard lewis>kevan looney Chalmers>Livingston So y'all telling me draymond is the difference in making a less talented team that much better? If so, then give him LeBron money. You are outside your mind bruh. The Warriors were coming off the best season ever. So I'll say that yes that team was better. Lol

this is going to interesting especially considering they’re going after Anthony Davis next year. No way they could afford to have KD, Klay, Draymond and AD all on super max. They’d likely have to give up either Klay or Draymond, another piece and likely a draft pick. I have a feeling AD wouldn’t go to the Warriors. Regardless of what anyone wants to say or think, what Durant did is widely regarded in the NBA world as a bitch move. I think KD might actually save the league from this future problem. Big 3’s are fine. Great. Lots of teams have 3 really good players. But having 4 HOF caliber players, and 2 mvp’s in their prime, takes so much away from the game. Obviously Warrior fans eat it up but the majority of them were Laker fans before 2015 anyway. See I don’t get why people still act like KD did some unspeakable act by signing with GS. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity as the cap spiked like it never had before. KD realized he would likely never win with Westbrook trying to pad-stats over winning.

What do you guys think of the Pistons signing Dwayne Casey to be their head coach? I've always been a fan of his. I think by him signing in Detroit he won’t have to worry about playing LeBron in the playoffs considering Lebron will be in the West next season
