If you were a NBA player

[spursfan1000]

What team in the NBA would you least like to play for?

[BullsDynasty]

Timberpups

[The Gemini Method]

Clippers

[JamStone]

Clippers and it's not close. Rather play in Utah than be the little step-sister of one of the two premier franchises in the league. Not to mention have to play in their backyard.

[spursfan1000]

Clippers


You wouldent want to play in LA?

[8FOR!3]

I'd never be a Los Angeles Laker. Don't give in.

[FalleNxWiZarDx]

Clippers, Tpuppys, Dallas, Kings/queens

[The Gemini Method]

You wouldent want to play in LA?

Not when Donald Sterling is owner...if he dies or gets shot by one of his slum tenants, then I'll consider playing for the Clips.

[Cane]

T-wolves.

[ginobili's bald spot]

I don't see how anyone could not pick Utah. Easy answer for me.

[The Gemini Method]

I don't see how anyone could not pick Utah. Easy answer for me.

I've been to SLC and while it isn't L.A. (Nowhere really is...) it isn't all that bad. I think the ownership is class, the coach is good, and the snow is great for my snowboarding jonesing.

[jacobdrj]

1 Clippers
1a Knicks

[Stump]

Grizzlies

[Nahtanoj]

Timberwolves, Clippers, 76ers, Grizzlies and Celtics.

Basketball wise it's obviously fine. But the city, lack of diversity, Mormons and racism I couldn't deal with. And I'm not much of a snow/cold weather person either.

Gotcha. Do you live in SoCal? It's pretty cold for a July out here with the 65-70 degree weather...

[Muser]

Clippers

But honestly with the salary I wouldn't care.

[ginobili's bald spot]

Gotcha. Do you live in SoCal? It's pretty cold for a July out here with the 65-70 degree weather...

Yes I do. But unfortunately I live in the portion that is hot as fuck.

[benefactor]

Utah. I'm white and even I don't want to be around that many white people.

[The Gemini Method]

Yes I do. But unfortunately I live in the portion that is hot as fuck.

Word. Send some of that heat to the LBC--I'm wearing an actual hoodie in the morning in the middle of July. This is a farce.

You don't know anything about Salt Lake City. If you hate nature and mormons and wouldn't want to live in rural Utah, understandable, but I'm as radically progressive as it gets and I love it here and your characterization of what's a thoroughly liberal, diverse and vibrant city is so uninformed it isn't even funny.

I wouldn't want to play for the Clippers, followed by OKC, Cleveland or Dallas.

Why all the hate for MIN? St. Paul's awesome.

[Booharv]

I wouldn't want anything to do with the Nets until they move to Brooklyn. Newark and northern NJ is no joke as far as awfulness in areas. Having grown up in NJ I can testify to the post-apocalypticness of many of the abandoned industrial areas up there, plus the insane crime levels, and the horrible pollution + stench.

[benefactor]

OKC is a close second. Anyone who has driven through Oklahoma will agree.

[Mugen]

Yes I do. But unfortunately I live in the portion that is hot as fuck.

Hopefully, you don't live in the Inland Empire.

[The Gemini Method]

Hopefully, you don't live in the Inland Empire.

That place is where L.A. goes to die...Bromance, eh?

[Crytek]

I find the question offensive.

Truth is, NBA Players like money, warm weather and lots of distractions to lose money (girls, gambling, guns)

Can't give 'em everything! :(

[4down]

From a financial standpoint? Toronto.

Otherwise? Detroit.

[Smooth Criminal]

Boston: KG, Wheelchair, Rondo, and those boston accents!
Cleveland: Cleveland sucks
Hawks
Nets (for the remainder of the time till their new arena)
Memphis
CLipps

[Smooth Criminal]

Utah, Sactown, Detoit also suck

[slick'81]

thats a tough one probably okc or memphis

[ginobili's bald spot]

Hopefully, you don't live in the Inland Empire.

:lol No.

No need to get defensive brah, to each his own. It wasn't an attack on you. I am just basing it off of my personal experience there. Besides, I don't think anything I said is really breaking news. My brother lived in SLC for a year or 2 and has the same view about it that I do. I never said every person in Utah is a backwards inbreed Mormon hick. So the fact that you consider yourself "progressive" :lol is completely irrelevant to the conversation. You feeling the need to say that just makes me thing that you took my post way too personally.

[jacobdrj]

Utah, Sactown, Detoit also suck

I'd LOVE to play in Utah. Scenery looks awesome. Sactown is still the west coast, and doesn't have the shitty owner/building the Clippers do. And while Detroit is certainly not a top tier destination, it is by no means any worse than average compared with placed like OKC, Portalnd, Cleveland, Atlanta, etc...

[Brazil]

lakers and it's not even close

[Gorilla Game]

Cleveland.

[jacobdrj]

I think LeBron should leave Cleveland as part of the maturing process. He needs to get away from home for a while to be able to focus. I love my Pistons, but I would NEVER want to play with them given a choice. Not because I hate SE Michigan per se, but because I would want to get away... Again, if I had a choice. I would gladly collect their check if they were the only ones offering ;)

[Mugen]

Teamwise: Clippers
Citywise: Cleveland or OKC

I live in NJ and have my whole life so far, every place has bad places, in NJ though I find Camden way worse then Newark

teams I wouldn't want to play for
Clippers
Knicks
Raptors(seems lots of people in the past haven't want to)

[Darrin]

Clippers

[jag]

1a. Detroit
1b. Cleveland
2. Golden State
3. Memphis
4. Boston
5. Philadelphia
6. New Jersey - Playing for Prokhorov seems cool, but i wouldn't want to live there.

[benefactor]

I'm sure there are hundreds of fringe NBA players out there that would read this thread and say, "I don't give a damn where it is."

[Darrin]

1a. Detroit

:(


How do the Clippers not even crack the top 3? I've worked for companies with no direction and managers that constantly gave me busy work. I wanted to quit the first time I saw I was smarter than the boss and I couldn't get through to him. I don't care what the weather is like outside most of the time (must be the Michigan native in me), there's no hope that the team will turn things around. Four playoff appearances in 29 years.

4.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Timberwolves

[pauls931]

Probably toronto. I'd want to stay in the states.

[Smooth Criminal]

I don't know it's just a vibe I get from det. And have you ever been to Sacramento? It's awful, truly awful. It's also not a coastal city, which is a must for me. It has a river tho i guess?

[BUMP]

Fuck it, with the salary i would just care about the city/nightlife. I wouldn't give two shits about winning.

So the teams i wouldnt want to play for

Milwaukee, Minnesota, Toronto, Portland, Indiana

Teams I would

LA (Lakers or Clippers), Miami, Phoenix, Orlando, Golden State, New York

[Roddy Beaubois]

SA. I hear their values and ethics are terrible.

[DUNCANownsKOBE2]

Assuming salary is the same with every team:
Timberwolves (shitty climate, shitty team)
Nets (shitty state, shitty team)
Cavs (shitty climate, shitty city, shitty team)
Jazz (shitty fans, shitty state)
Warriors (shitty city, shitty coach)
Milwaukee (shitty climate)
Indiana (shitty fans, shitty team, basically shitty everything)
Toronto would be my worst case scenario for me but I'd probably get twice as much money there than I would with any other team so I won't assume the salary is the same.

Teams I would:
Heat
Suns
Lakers
Clippers
Knicks
Celtics

[HarlemHeat37]

Toronto is a top 5 city if you're talking about nightlife/quality of the city..
