You do realize being "an extra piece" doesn't make it any more desirable when your employer doesn't value your service? I'd say he feels pretty unwanted as well, enough to warrant being chapped anyway.

Guys at Chris Johnson's level get traded all the time. It doesn't mean that teams don't think they're valuable; it just means that the teams want to make a move (to get prospects, all-star quality players, bullpen arms, whatever) and you have to give up value to get value. Players like Chris Johnson are like a twenty dollar bill -- steady, unexciting, easily transferable value. I have a hard time seeing why a player like him would take it too personally.

Isn't Wade just sort of a poor man's Kobe to begin with?

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Mac!

Chris Johnson seems like a pretty self aware dude.

Justin Upton is like a 3 dollar bill (because he's queer) k:

Mamba

Switch some stuff up in their careers, maybe not. But based on what we've got, yeah. Wade isn't really a poor man's anybody but i get ya.

Wade is less selfish, more of a team player and an amazing shot blocker for a 2. Kobe is a better scorer and has that killer mentality that not many have.

Although I do have to say that if I were Chris Johnson, and I looked up Martin Prado's stats on baseball-reference after the trade, I would probably be a little pissed off that my team apparently thought that guy was so much better than me that it was worth giving up Justin Upton. Prado's better, but not THAT much better.

Season? Wade.

Game? Quarter? Last second shot? Kobe.

Probably so many stats that I'm too lazy to look up to kill this post.

I wanna go back in time and see ZBo play in high school against some poor white kid.

This is racist somehow

 

[005]

Think it'll go to OT or will Grizz win at the buzzer?

 

[005]

Conley pull up winner incoming.

Nope

 

[005]

Don't love that. Fine with ZBo, if it's him on the block with Serge on his back. Not facing up. Who the hell knows though.

Hope derek fisher misses all of these threes he is about to take.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Randolph facing up 20 feet from the basket is an interesting way to try to win it

 

[wU-Tang Vol]

Jon Leuer for a half court buzzer beater
