Older players have always went to contenders once they realized they didnt have it anymore
We’re just going to act like Malone, Barkley, Pippen, Payton, J.Kidd, TMac, Nash and Iggy didnt all do this too?
The Showtime Lakers bench was mostly former stars that decided to go to a contender to get a championship.

LBJ a coward now got the media defending him for something he rendered popular. Each and every Team LBJ been the media cries he doesn’t have enough help. Westbrook won mvp averaged a Triple double and brought his team to the playoffs ALONE in the WEST. You could say what you want to about the guy but i never seen a 20 20 20 game other then Westbrooks no matter how much people downplays his stats if it were that easy your best players would do so too. Peace.

Kendrick I’m disappointed. They have contributed to basketball from when they were young, they have contributed to the league in big ways, now has come the point were they wanna end their careers however and wherever they want.

Its fair criticism but it can be extended to pretty harden and KD. KD bought/ chased 2 rings. Players recognize that having a ring changes how they will be viewed. John Stockton would be in the convo for best point guard if he had a 1 or 2 championships.

People were hating on Perk when he arrived, now people see the value of his personality. He’s like a Walmart Shannon Sharpe but even a Walmart version is funny asl

If blake goes to the Lakers than he’s not ring chasing. Kendrick only talks for his opinion base on his convenience

If he goes he will still be ring chasing but probably have a larger role

Why is it so despicable for good players to want to play and win with other good players? Im not even a nets fan, i love the knicks and root for Lebron in anything not against the knicks. Let the players that want to get paid get paid and let those who use their options to land on a stacked team enjoy the game

I am on Max’s side. They are old. They are not #1 options anywhere, Blake was in Detroit, a terrible team and he was not the #1 option there, so they did NOT go to the table saying to ANY team that they want to be the #1 option. They know they are AT THIS POINT AND TIME, role players and they will play their role, win a title and retire with the chip and their millions. Good for those guys. I wish I can only wish and dream to do what they can do.
