Olympic athletes in any country. who win a medal usually profit from it. It is about the fame which brings money.. Just don't get filmed doing bong hits like Michael Phelps your funds may dry up...... I could be totally wrong, but I googled it and said that if you win gold you get paid 37k or something like that

But please continue to argue with me over how I would react based on nothing but your baseless assumptions.

You think you are better suited to talk about what Kyrie experienced then Kyrie? You dont think its possible that maybe just once Kyrie experienced racism in Boston (all it would take for you to be wrong) . I can promise you that he has. And to Cole's q: do you think he's experienced it in Brooklyn? The answer is: if not, give it some more time. For the record - Admins comment "kyries using the racism as a shield" and your comment "kyrie never experienced racism in Boston" are universes apart. I had no issue w Admins comment, my issue was him liking your racist comment. But I wont ask you to reflect like I did to Admin because he's actually a good guy and you're a lost cause. So I wont waste my time on you. drew nothing racist with what i said or what admin said. I agree with him actually. I dont know him personally but it doesnt take much to read into kyries little comments and his "complex of inferiority". I shared a personal situation and my experiences in boston compared to NY and NJ. Didnt experience racism in boston and did in NY and NJ. So.. Whatever is going on in Kyrie's head is irrelevant. You stated that there was no chance Kyrie ever experienced racism in Boston. I wouldnt expect you to understand why thats a racist comment. Maybe stop trying to talk and think for other people? You have assumed I live paycheck to paycheck, that Kyrie has never experienced any racism in Boston, that I would be gloating if team usa won, and a whole heap of other whimsical assumptions. Id ask you to reflect, but I dont have enough respect for you to think you're capable.

"Kyrie Irving never experienced racism in Boston" what is racist about that? Enlighten me. That is your millenial soul seeking racism into it.
I agreed with Cabby because these words came out of Kyrie's own mouth in 2019:

Olympic athletes in any country. who win a medal usually profit from it. It is about the fame which brings money.. Just don't get filmed doing bong hits like Michael Phelps your funds may dry up...... Of course Fournier increased his free-agent value by being the best player on the French team that beat team USA. Of course the other players on France are trying to get noticed and into the league. Im not making these comments because I am arrogant as RC Cola implies. Im making the comments because they are common sense. I know that you get this. And sorry for coming at your friend, but Im not going to let RC Cola come at my character unprovoked and take it lying down. No need to apoligise.. Fournier has increased his value. Cabby and i will be fine no need to worry..... Racist or non racists cities play little part in where players end up.. You can experience racism in any city in America on any day. Boston's problem? No trust in the franchise......... The management has turned more away then race or the over rated bad weather.. I'm no patriot don't own one fuckin flag of anykind.. Flag vs Flag just causes wars history has proven that. I'm not watching one minute of the olympics its like watching reruns of soap operas. Too much fake drama

I could be totally wrong, but I googled it and said that if you win gold you get paid 37k or something like that You do get paid i thought it was 50k. If they are using real gold at 2000 an ounce it might be worth more melted down however...

Their thrill is to represent their country and travel. Some of us dont go from here to the corner, cant call themselves multicultural and think that know what racism is.

If the Celtics arent in the playoffs, I honestly dont care who wins. Im not one of those "well, my team is out, so ill find another team to root for" kind of ppl. Not to imply there is anything wrong with that. It just isnt me.

I know, but these guys get paid to play in a different setting. They don’t here. They actually get no benefit from winning the gold

Flag vs Flag just causes wars history has proven that. I'm not watching one minute of the olympics its like watching reruns of soap operas. Too much fake drama
and that means the odds of a Fournier S&T have increased.
Fournier is a potential offseason trade chip who is possibly earning himself more dollars but definitely earning himself more interest with his Olympics performance (28 points in a Team France win over Team USA). Stevens is likely fired up to see where he or his outbound cap figure fit in the Boston Celtics’ roster puzzle.
A hard cap might not be so bad this year if they can find the right return piece. Danny Ainge left his predecessor with a lot of recent draft talent to work with to integrate to or trade away from the new Celtics vision.
We’ll keep you updated on Fournier’s free agency this summer.
Comment: my understanding is that using the S&T to trade out a player will not hard cap a team but taking a player in via S&T will. So I disagree with BRobb to some degree on his "hardcap" comment.

This is exactly my thought to team France beating team USA. Sweet, Fourniers trade value just went up. Like I proposed in another thread, im wondering if we can get Lonzo for him. Send the French player to the French quarter. Maybe (hopefully) they'll really want him. But dont get me wrong, if we can get Collins in a deal centered around Fournier, and if that wouldnt be possible if team France didnt win.....Then Im happy that France won. I said something very similar a few hours ago in another thread, but I forget which one it was.

but you are right Admin. Sending out a S+T doesnt hard cap you, bringing in a guy w a S+T does. But I think Collins or Lonzo are worth dealing w the hard cap personally. And a S+T for a S+T is kind of easy for both sides to agree to. ITs hard to give up a quality player already under control for a S+T but could absolutely happen.
