Roger "$40M/yr" Jewdell will allow anything to happen as long as it is profitable to the owners.

Aren't Packers owners the citizens of Green Bay or something?

>>76097420
what a stupid fucking post
the Green Bay economy IS Lambeau and the Packers
and no one person owns the Packers, there is no "owner" when it comes to Green Bay

do you even have a basic understanding of the sport?
each position plays the same amount of offense and defense

>>76097750
Guards are the least useful defensively because of their size

>>76097783
Except on blocks, anon. They are good at steals and forcing turnovers, but suck at blocks.

>>76097792
>Good at steals
Not necessarily. Hakeem is in top 10 all time steals, and Draymond/LeBron lead their teams in steals

>>76097783
they literally have to guard the opponents guards
what you're saying is that guards somehow play all the offense, but don't have to guard other guards playing that offense?
are you fucking retarded?

>>76097840
>what you're saying is that guards somehow play all the offense
No, I said they primarily are offensive
>but don't have to guard other guards playing that offense?
This ins't the 90s anymore where you have to play man to man defence. People are expected not to guard just one person but whoever is causing the most problems

>>76097854
right, and with the emergence of this shooting culture the warriors are creating, you constantly see centers out on the perimeter guarding the 3 right?
fucking
idiot

>>76097828
>one example of a non-guard being reliable at steals means every guard sucks at stealing
Pretend Straya, please.

>>76097881
Is that what I said? Haven't you ever seen a play involving double converge? Didn't you see the PF Kevin Love guard Curry at points during the finals? LeBron made a point of it

>>76097884
Guards aren't good at steals. People that are small tend to be good at steals. Small people just tend to play guards

>>76097887
>at points
unless they were guarding curry and klay 51% of the time your point is fucking retarded

>>76097898
stick to rugby you potato
>A=B B=C THAT DOESN'T MEAN C=A
this is literally the point you're trying to make

>>76097908
Why? You tried to make a point that big men wouldn't guard someone trying to shoot a 3, I provided an example of that happening.
>>76097920
I'm saying that if a tall man suddenly tried to play guard he wouldn't automatically be better at stealing, and if a small man played as a forward their steals wouldn't drop off

>>76097715
>No, s-shut up...the joows...

>>76097932
my point was that if you're trying to say guards are responsible for offense, and guards tend to shoot over driving, and MOST of the time big men don't guard the perimeter, your point is fucking stupid because guards typically guard guards on the perimeter where guards play offense
I'm not even going to touch that second point because calling a 7'3" a guard would never happen because that's not how basketball works
this is why americans hate foreigners

>>76097953
>my point was that if you're trying to say guards are responsible for offense, and guards tend to shoot over driving, and MOST of the time big men don't guard the perimeter, your point is fucking stupid because guards typically guard guards
That's not what I said. My point was that forwards are more versatile. Someone like Kawhi can guard Steph Curry or Kevin Durant, but Tony Parker could only guard Steph. So big men can move position more to help double cover, where as a guard is limited
Magic was a 6'9 guard so its possible

>>76097980
no, your point was not that forwards are more versatile

What even happens when a team moves? The same players in a new stadium? A 'brand' name that just changes owner with complete new team?

>>76098152
They just change the city name and stadium the rest is the same

>>76098152
Same players in a new arena or stadium. The team may be renamed, though this is rare.

>>76098152
They also move 1000 or so fans or 500 at least from the city so that there is a "fanbase". It's the most plastic thing ever

>>76096536
same with utah jazz, used to be in new orleans.

>>76097328
You forgot the time when the packers were going to move because the city of green bay didn't want to build them a stadium and had to get a loan from the Chicago Bears in order to stay.

>>76097522
The Green Bay Packers are owned by shareholders like a business. You do not have to be a resident of Wisconsin to buy shares.

>>76098580
>You do not have to be a resident of Wisconsin

Just like their fans

>>76098601
You can say that about any fanbase you fool.

So just recently and ignoring historically? Guess we're gonna have to agree to disagree on that.

>Y'all are going to shit once Rodgers leaves or gets ousted.
This is probably true, though.
