how many more seasons do you think lebron will play, considering he will never win another ring

Attached: p.jpg (400x400, 22.6K)

he said he wants to play with his son so a few more

Should we schedule an MVP DEBATE tomorrow before the game bros? What time is everyone available?

A team will unironically sign Lebron's kid so a 40 y.o. athlete can play for them

my sixer are cooked and my phillies embarrassed me tonight
please recommend cope

Yup lmfao

LeBron will bring in a truckload of money to a poverty franchise even if he’s washed

Sure, his their Jersey's will sell big time. Doesn't matter if they make playoffs or not.

LeBron may win another NBA game before he retires

>LeBron will bring in a truckload of money to a poverty franchise even if he’s washed

How many more years until his kid can declare for the draft? like 3 or 4? Hes gonna be forgotten by then and kids will want the newer stars jerseys

Fuck Lebron

it depends how long lebron is still productive for honestly. I mean he almost won the scoring title this year. as long as lebron is playing at an all nba level he will be the most discussed star in the league at all times (until he doesn't make the playoffs)

do you think the average fan could shoot better than the average big man from outside the paint?

in a game? no. in practice? also no

LeBron was clevelands economy. He could be as washed as westbrook and harden combined and signing him to a supermax will still be a net positive

youtube.com/watch?v=Y2AyVZklyiA

the super cope is that the harder the league works to suppress the process the more they validate it and encourage other non-legacy teams to improve it (see OKC, Houston, Detroit) and make it so flawless that the league has to submit to the ideology or risk going bankrupt by putting out a rigged unwatchable product.

that is some next level cope since it doesn't help philly now and moreover the process is mostly failing because simmons is mindbroken, markelle fultz is an all time bust, and the true star philly has keeps fucking breaking

The Grizz-Ws game is at the same time as UFC.

ironically grizz dubs might be the most violent series of the postseason

I'm wasted for the holiday my friend

Gonna have to watch both at the same time now. I have to take out my 2nd monitor

all those things you mentioned are post-hinkie and colangelo era. the process is undeniably successful in it's asset collection and it took either the worst front office of all time or league plants to fuck it up.

Kerr is such a retard holy shit

ok yeah it's successful at that but my sixers are still so cooked they'd be an inedible steak

Just clicked for me about the sixers....the franchise tanked for a long time and has been calling all the moves over the past 5-6 years to be part of the "process". What this "process" should have done is build a competent team of multiple offensive options and a strong bench of role players but all the "process" has to show for it right now is.....Joel Embiid. Team literally cannot do anything competitively unless he is on the court.
At this point the Sixers are not processing or loading, its like a youtube video buffering through a dead browser tab.

yes but so is the league. congratulations silver, you fucked the process and now have half the teams in the league tanking for picks and making the nba unwatchable.

Heat with the * ECF journey

Kek they're gonna get their shit pushed in by whoever wins Milwaukee/Boston

Its time for Portland to trade Dame. Its now or never this offseason, hes 30+ and declining. You need to maximize the value before it becomes apparent to the rest of the league that hes washed on a bad contract. Portland needs to get the big pieces to pair with Simons who is the future. Lillard's been in the league 10 years now and sucked last year before he got hurt. This is the time to fleece somebody before his value tanks, but they aint gonna do it because muh loyalty

He will pack the arena

holy shit

someone made an nba thread on Yea Forums

twitter.com/Ballislife/status/1522293209766019072

look at big mac's face

This. I wish they would trade him because as much as he wants to be loyal he's not gonna win in Portland

Nobody's gonna trade for an aging undersize PG with $40 mil a year contract......except for the Knicks

they should trade simons for siakam and go all in on win now

>one player gets hurt
>post season: over
There's no reason the best team should be deteremined by a post season tourney. The "regular" season champion should be the more important victory. Sustained consistency is better than getting lucky in may with injuries.

Seeing the Sixers get eleminated in this way is just no fun. I wanted a full strength Embiid and Harden led team to get their shit pushed in and see Doc throw both of them under the bus before getting fired. Now they have an excuse and their demise doesn't bring me the joy I could have received.

>tfw we won't see based Filthadelphians destroy their city again this year

Why do unintelligent coaches like Doc Rivers get hired? Why do executives decide to hire coaches with IQs that would qualify them for SSI?

Lebron is a washed-up fag who can't even make the playoffs anymore with a superteam. He'll be lucky if he even has a fraction of the post-NBA success that Kobe or Jordan had. His film career is already in the trash

>throwback to when Boban sent Jordan Poole a gift to apologize for accidentally smacking him.

>Steve Kerr on the Warriors mantra: "Just play hard. Battle for every loose ball, battle for every rebound, compete every possession. And, you know, don’t risk a guy’s career if he’s ahead of the play in transition. That’s our mantra.”
