10 Biggest SNAKE Moves In NBA History!

You didn’t mention that the Celtics tried to trade Ray Allen numerous times. Albeit that the trades fell through, I understand why Allen wanted to leave Boston.

I’m a be honest. Raptors fan here. The city didn’t treat Vince well. You’d of thought he killed 16 they way they wrote about him before he even requested a trade. Man was ripped to shreds for keeping a promise to his mother, finishing school and going to his graduation. He didn’t even miss the game.

[@manuelsoares9698]

He did admit in an interview, after being traded, that he purposely wasn't giving it his all. Raptors tolerated Kawhi with his load management since he has a higher ceiling than Vince Carter and was already a proven winner. Toronto is such a die hard sports city, if Vince gave it his all through the end, Toronto easily would've forgiven him and even make excuses to defend him. Toronto native here.

[@Jonathan-A.C.]

@@Jonathan-A.C. Toronto is a diehard sports city which even when teams aren't successful, they still sell out games. Toronto's attendance is better than most American teams. 2024 Attendance Raps are #7 out of 30 teams (Better than Boston and the Lakers). Leafs are #8 out of 32. Blue Jays are #10 out of 30 teams. Want me to continue?

[@Jonathan-A.C.]

@@manuelsoares9698 Fair point, although I’d say it’s also important to recognize how much of Canada is represented by Toronto, whereas you have 29 teams for the US. But I still have to question just how much is “diehard” when the franchise does not have consistent winning or a notable “winning culture”? And I say this in respect to the NBA

[@manuelsoares9698]

@@Jonathan-A.C. I appreciate your understanding. Valid point on country support since only 1 team representing Canada. Another example, Tampa Bay Lightning has won more Stanley Cups since 2000 (3x) than the Leafs have in 60 years. Is the Tampa Bay Lightning a die hard Hockey city, no but they are more successful than the Leafs. To me, Die hard means how supportive is the city, win or lose. Toronto financially supports all its teams, win or lose.

[@Plague_Doc22]

The Linsanity thing you could've gone more in depth on. The reason the deal was so crazy was because they purposely structured the contract to fuck over the knicks, so that they wouldnt match. Believe it was something like a few mil the first two years and then the third year it went up by like 3x. That was the main reason they didnt resign him.

[@drunkbygreentea]

i'm tired of the lin slander. lin was always a solid player who unfortunately for the majority of his career got stuck on teams with coaches that didn't believe in him. nba players are always told "get your money". the knicks claimed that they would match but didn't. he didn't finish his contract with the rockets because he got benched in favor of ballhog harden. and when he got on the loser lakers byron scott of all people tried to throw him under the bus and tanked his value. y'all low IQ "analysts" are so quick to call lin a scrub but somehow give dudes like udonis haslem a pass. gimme a break.

Comparing iggy to Durant is apples and oranges.

Also iggy was traded to Denver didn’t want to be there and was only there for one year, where as KD lied to okc and KD was in okc his whole career. Also Denver should be happy because it transitioned to the Jokic era.

[@dvs620]

This was what I was coming here to say. KD joined a team that had been to the Finals 2 straight years and won 73 games the year they came back from 3-1 against OKC. Iggy joined a team who hasn't won anything yet. It's a big difference.

Knicks didn’t snake Lin. The Rockets signed Lin to a contract with provisions designed for teams not to match. And The Knicks signed Jason Kidd that summer so they didn’t need him

[@MrPhilbautista]

Bron and KD made no promises. They were both free agents hearing offers from all sorts when they left Cleveland and OKC respectively. Nothing snakey there. Call them soft for the moves they made at the time but that's how it goes these days. Why was it okay for KG and Ray Allen to hook up with Pierce in Boston but not for Bron to join Wade and Bosh in Miami or for Ray Allen to join them later or for KD to join the Warriors?

I see what you did in that thumbnail

[@hardheadpaco6415]

None of those moves were snake moves because these organizations have to loyalty to the players, so nowadays players have taken their destinies in their own hands and now they’re doing what’s best for them. The hell with these organizations

Nuggets we’re a better team after Melo left

[@youngair24]

1. George Karl calling out Melo after he balled out is a snake shit 2. Jeremy did some snake shit, he signed a poison pill contract and karma bit him because Harden came and lin never recovered. 2. Melo being jealous of Lin is hilarious

[@drunkbygreentea]

the knicks told him they would match but then backed out. nba players are told all the time to "get your money". but when lin does it he's a snake? you're gonna sit there and tell me that if your workplace offered you 5 million and a competitor company offered 20 million you'd take the 5 million in order to be "loyal" and "not a snake"? actually use your brain. and even if he wasn't a superstar he was still a solid player and more importantly a respected teammate, UNLIKE ballhog diva harden.

[@youngair24]

@@drunkbygreentea he could've got the same amount of money from the Knicks, it was the way the Rockets structured it that made it impossible. He knew what he did

[@n.dewayneb9258]

Kevin Durant and LeBron were both free agents when they choose the new teams they wanted play for. How is that if you’re a superstar, the media and fans get to tell you what organization you’re allowed to play for?

[@brandondeal6773]

Bron didn't join a 73 win team...it's not the same lol. People ironically seem to forget that the Celtics formed their big 3 first ..won a ring...which forced other teams to try and assemble their own big 3

Shaq and Dwight in orlando

[@azrielnguyen9586]

Vince was not a snake for leaving Toronto. He was crucified and kicked out, c'mon bro! This is main stream media type of journalism.

[@theonehaiti]

Carlos is not a snake . Math is math 39 million or 70? Man call me a shake all day with that option

[@TheRealDebussyFarts]

Just because you agree to the terms of a contract, you are not obligated to sign it. That does not make one a snake.

[@neallyd4681]

Those aren’t snake moves. That’s called doing what’s best for yourself and your life. We all have choices and they felt they made the best choice for their lives.

[@cam8868]

Doc Rivers betrayed Ray Allen. He had no choice but to leave

[@andreitaker3527]

I think more people hated Bron due to that awful the Decision Special he did .

[@TheKoolace17]

That andre iguodala reference is weak. He played there for two years. His coach was fired, so he left.
