Lillard is soft but not as bad as KD in the sense that KD has been on three different teams since leaving OKC. Both are NOT leaders.
jokic and murray lowkey plays like lebron and kyrie
Yeah, I think Lillard shouldn't really have a choice like that. I understand giving requests for specific teams, but it's not fair to demand a trade to one team only and claim you won't play for other teams.
Maybe jammal is playing the way he is for championships and playoff success? I mean he plays good enough to be effective for the team and doesn't over exert himself trying to score even by taking bad shots. I think he's just in a good position to win with the nuggets that he's not doing over the top things that can or cannot break the chemistry. Idk🤔🤷♂️
Trash video dame gave everything to Portland and they didn’t deliver. He asked them to trade their first round draft pick the last two years and Portland chose to rebuild instead. He’s 32 he doesn’t want a rebuild he wants to win.
Honesty jamal Murray had become very overrated. I like him as a player however I am seeing people put hin ahed of guys like Darius Garland and Jalen brunson. Bronson is a number one option carrying a Knicks offence while Jamal Murray just feeds off amazing passes by The joker. She's good but I think if you put them in the number one option roll without benefiting of the jockerss play making you wouldn't be nearly as good of a player.
Murray is not overrated ! Yeah he isn’t the best player on his team but he’s 2nd best behind a 2x MVP. He’d be the best player on a lot of other teams. To be honest , he needs a legit point guard next to him to unlock his full potential. Murray is a shooting guard !!
Dame should’ve asked for a no trade clause
Denver champions! Lets go.
I really like your take on Dame. Miami has no assets to offer. Dame should have at least put 4 or 5 teams on the table as options for a trade
Pretty sure Durant signed a contract extension right before he gor traded to the suns.
You said what Dame did is a joke but Bradley Beal just do the same exact thing am I wrong?
jamal murray is still underrated.
He made the most 3 pointer in the playoffs last year hes only playing against top ten pgs of alltime in cp3 and curry you can even put dame on that list your crazy you should delete the video
Jamal Murray high is 21? I would expect it to be higher since he balled in the playoffs.
Man, talk about perspective. I think he’s still a baller, but I don’t really rate players that much, since top players like Harden have proved to be shitty when it counts and low rated players like Caruso have proved to be better than the stats show in the playoffs.
Bradley got his cake and ate it too. Yes, he was lucky but still.
Also, Durant got traded in the first or second years of his Nets multi year contract.
Clown content
Hot take, skinny luka wins mvp
I'm convinced that the off-season is just the period where you convince yourself that what you saw on the screen didn't actually happen
If Murray overrated Kyrie has been for 10 years
I just think Murray is getting the attention that he deserves. He is a good player and came back from a major knee injury and won a chip. I really dont think he is overrated.
Honestly your Lillard take is dumb. Blaming him for signing a contract the previous summer is dumb. Do you honestly think if you told Lillard that before the extension kicks in they will sit you so they can tank, do nothing with that pick to bring in a star and instead draft someone to take over your position. Then sign no one to upgrade the roster. Then say we won’t say we are trading you we will make you have to ask out and as a thank you for being loyal we will refuse to trade you to the team you prefer. If he knew all that do you think he’s signing an extension or is he asking out right then and there. I’d say he’s asking out. Also saying what Lillard is doing is bad for the game but acting like what the Blazers aren’t also doing something worse is funny. The Blazers are showing why players aren’t loyal anymore and shouldn’t be. Lillard has been loyal his whole career and when the team makes it blatantly clear they are moving on how do they treat him? They literally try and make him the villain. It shows why players say loyalty doesn’t matter.
This generation so backwards. Winning is not the ultimate goal anymore 🤦🏾♂️ the man wins a championship and now he “overrated”? He proved that on the big stage when palms get sweaty and butts get tight he could produce. He is as legit as it gets period.
Spot on take about Dame, but also remember, Dame’s agent reportedly contacted all the other NBA teams warning them not to trade for him, or else. That’s unprecedented. A bridge too far. The NBA had to act.
Blazers wasted Lillard’s career they owe it to him to trade him to the Heat. I don’t care how long the contract is or for how much. If they can find a trade that makes sense they should do it period.
He is a top 15 PG maybe top 10 PG
Kevin Durant and Dame situations are very similar. They both requested a trade after getting paid and listed 1 team. It came out at the deadline that no other team was allowed to even offer something for Kevin other than the Suns. The only really difference is the Nets we’re trying to contend while Portland is primed to rebuild around a couple young guards.
im still waiting for a jamal murray apology video. I rmr u tweeted “jamal murray will never be a star”
say whatever yall want. he has a ring and brought home a championship. Talk about harden and chris paul 🤣🤣
Hard to judge him because his biggest criticism is regular season consistency. And he hasn't been healthy the past 4 years in the regular season to really critique. An All Star season would help his perception alot.
I see Jamal Murray as a Tony Parker level player. Regular szn stats don’t really blow you away but a team player that can carry a superstar size load sometimes And the Nuggets look like the next kinda boring spurs dynasty
You’re wrong about dame. He and his agent never said he wouldn’t play for other teams they said they would be getting an unhappy player. If other teams wanted dame, they would’ve traded for him by now. Not a lot of teams would want to pay someone in they’re age 36 season $36 million. Miami is the only team that is really willing to take on the contract. If dame had just said Miami preferred and then maybe Brooklyn then nobody would have a problem. Kevin Durant had 3 years left on his deal so that’s really not much better than dame.
Once people started saying Jamal Murray deserves a 90 ovr, he became overrated in my eyes
You aren't putting enough stock into the other things when considering Jamal. He had the one incident we all know of, but other than that he's a very low drama, no controversy player. I'd easily rather have Jamal than say, Kyrie, Ja, or even Dame at this point.
Overrated well thats a first for two years he was waited on to play and evryone slept on him cuz he was only Bubble Murray and then comes back a winner ok your right over rated hmmmm
