warriors you stupid nigger

I couldn't give less of a shit about PG. He's good, but he's not going to win you a championship good. If we had him we couldn't get KD over the summer

They wanted Tatum but Ainge refused to trade him or Brown for no reason. The Celtics try to lowball everyone and they end up with "prospects" and picks and no superteam

we got closer to getting them than 29 other teams did, but obviously when the lakers fail it's a news story but when everyone else does it's just business as usual

Uh.....you're not getting KD over the summer

You people are delusional as fuck

Thunder and Wizards don't have the cap room for a max (OKC is over the luxury tax for the next 2 years and WAS can't make enough room even if DW12 walks and they let Jabari go), the Suns could do it if Tyler Johnson opt-out and goes elsewhere but they have bigger problems right now (no real point guard). I'll take the fucking Kings (who also has enough cap space for a max slot) for some extra dose of JUST for Harrison Barnes

It's the first game post all star break. I'm amazed this wasn't a brickfest like every other game has been.

Two best defensive teams in the league and they score 120 in reg, almost 150 total

They've never been swept

Please explain

It's like pottery, it limes

It was only close because Jazz shot decent from three and OKC decided to never box out and were -17 in rebounds. A lot of which were just tip ins. Also doesn't help that OKC was playing down two starters for the final OT, but muh narrative

Raptors: Two All-stars (Kawhi and Lowry?) and a group of supplimentary pieces
Pacers: A group of relative no-names that actually mesh well together (I'm excluding Oladipo for now since he'll probably be out next season too, F for Dipo)
Boston: An all-star (Kyrie), an albatross atm (Hayward), Al Horford, and a bunch of young players that seem to know their role but refuse to accept it

Why would you want KD with Ingram? Lebron isnt necessarily the problem, it’s coaching and players he’s surrounded by.

Why would you keep Ingram and not trade him?????

They have no other offense

well your post just said getting kd with lebron gone, nothing with ingram was mentioned

You forgot the media circus Lebron brings, which can be considered a detriment

maybe in a few years, but he wasn't even good enough to be an all star in the east.

depends on where lebron is traded. If he's traded to a contender like the celtics and they get AD then I'd do it, but not if it's a shitty team like the suns since I'd rather not be a suns fan.

Hard to become an All-Star when the scoring evens out after Kyrie.

Probably the reason why he doesn't mind being stuck with the Pelicans, but then again he has to play like a madman since the West is stacked with great forwards and wing players.

He should just wait until Kyrie leaves and he'll instantly become the Celtics' leading scorer.

Why is Pop such a brainlet? Demar was on the verge of becoming a decent three point shooter last year and now he's back to midrange game because Pop is a retarded boomer fuck.

Even if kyrie leaves, he's not really on kyrie's level yet as a scorer. So I fail to see how you think he's playing at an all star level now.

it's just my opinion, but i think LMA's trade request broke him. when they had LMA the first year, pop asked him to rework his game and play a role that would fit right into the beautiful game style spurs system. LMA balked at that and asked for a trade, and pop ultimately relented, scrapping their trademark ball movement for the first unit (the second unit still ran it to a substantial degree for years since then) so LMA could play his usual game. feed it to him on the left block and let him go to work. they did not even try anything with derozan.

this is the main reason IMHO why the spurs are not more than the sum of their parts anymore. they do the utmost to accommodate their star players stylistically.

Good News: All of that is eventually explained.

Bad News: Not until long after the adaptation time frame.

Remember when the Bulls were up 1 against the Magic then Michael Jordan got stripped and Horace Grant scored a game winning dunk? So clutch by MJ to hand the Magic the series

This may be the best top 5 picks in a draft ever. Not a single bust among them. Luka and Trae are gonna be top 5 playmakers in this league when it’s all said and done, and I’d be surprised if Ayton, JJJ, and Bagley never make an all star appearance at some point in their careers.

borrego and batum, basically

there's no way there aren't more exceptions to that rule. pete maravich?

The main point to recognize though is that Trae was still a freaking freshman when he did it.

The high usage guys in college who traditionally bust in the NBA are upperclassman who exploit their inherent advantage of experience, not talent, to solidify themselves as the primary ball handler on a college team. TY was neither an upperclassman or even a particularly super highly touted high school prospect, he established himself as the alphadog on OU in his first year through sheer force of will and talent.

There has never quite been another player like that who did what he did as a freshman.

Shai Gilgeous Alexander is lowkey a good PG too

Honestly the problem with that team was that Westbrook and Harden are players who constantly need the ball in their hands to really be productive, and the one guy who doesn’t (Durant) was the actual best player who SHOULD have the ball most often.

If there was ever a team that can be described as “too talented to win” it was that Thunder team.

Aren’t you being a little knee-jerk in your overestimation of PG (who certainly is #2) because of conference competition with the Bucks? Giannis is the clear MVP. They have the best record in the NBA. Giannis is clearly the leader & best player on that team. He has been consistently improving his game (see his 3pt field goal percentage).

All that said, I won’t be mad if PG wins it. He’s killing it as an elite 2-way player, and he’s clutch as fuck.

Harden was not a player who needed the ball in his hands all the time you fucking underaged newfag

Your dumbass is confirmed only having bball knowledge from cringe YouTube videos for 14 year olds

kd wants his own team, so unless curry leaves then hes not staying on the warriors.

Giannis' 3pt shots are always given to him. Every 3 he's taken is uncontested because no one thinks he can make it and it's a better alternative.

You're comparing that to PG who makes the most contested 3s a game and has to rely on advanced dribbling moves and off ball movement to get open.

I would be okay with either of them tbqh. Giannis probably deserves it slightly more, but even if he doesn’t, I have no doubt he’ll get one eventually. Just so long as it isn’t Harden.

I'd like to amend this, PG makes the 2nd best contested 3s a game, he just has the best 3pt% on contested 3s

If he keeps this up for the rest of his career watch out. They have a really good window right now. Probably through the end of Westbrook and George's contracts.

Why the fuck do you think Harden was the 6th man on the Thunder instead of playing in the starting lineup you dumbass? Him and Westbrook couldn’t share the floor together.

Next time you want to smugly talk down to somebody, try actually being right you moron.

you have no idea what you're talking about lmao. take the L

He's the one who utilized 3pt shooting the best before Warriors or Rockets.

Spurs always have low volume of 3pt shots but highest % because they only take wide open 3s.

All his ATO plays utilized the threat of a 3pt shot without needing to attempt it.

I'm not even the guy you were originally arguing with, I just think it's funny you're so sure you're right but you're wrong. The reason he came off the bench had nothing to do with his defense and everything to do with the fact that he was so ball dominant he couldn't fit with Durant/Westbrook. He NEVER played like a stand in the corner and shoot it role-player, he was their sparkplug off the bench.

That’s because Dirk and Duncan had better coaches. Duncan is clearly the bes of the three, but I’d take Garnett over Dirk.

>Irving said he is not active on social media — which he referred to as “a fictitious way of just feeling validated in the world”

Kyrie is deep as fuck

That's only when he was on the floor without everyone else, when they closed out games he spot up and cut. Also his he was not a starter for defensive reasons as OKCs defense had always been subpar til 2013

He's right. I've noticed the realest niggas only post on social media to promote shit and never give their opinions or retweet cat videos

nice headcanon bro.

lmao now THAT is some grade A bullshit. Nobody even really cared or noticed Harden was a lousy defender until after he joined the Rockets and became a superstar. It never stopped the Thunder from still playing him at the very end of games.

The issue was always that it was a waste to play him off-ball to Westbrook when he was a good enough to be a primary playmaker for the bench. you’re just scrambling for some excuse to try and dig yourself out of the hole of acting so high and mighty earlier. The Thunder had absolutely no problem playing Harden with Durant, however Westbrook and Harden were rarely ever on the floor at the same time.

Kyrie really is a pseudo intellectual

Yes, and good thinking user. I think Cuban has zero problem playing the long game and assembling a team around 2022 that sets themselves up for 5+ years of high level success. Carlisle is never getting fired, Dallas is popping right now, I could see Dallas being a major contender in the next few years

i'd dislike harden like 0.5% less if he shaved his nasty ass beard

free agents don't want to go to dallas. Black people secretly hate Cuban and their front office is notoriously scummy and racist/sexist. Notice they're not so subtly trying to create a team of white-only all stars

If he gets a little more efficient he will be another Curry, which is a pretty scary thought. His BBIQ is through the roof

He’s also got a crazy good defensive skillset to, but Doc Rivers is a fucking retard and only gives him 20 minutes a game, stunting his development in a year the Clippers are tanking anyways.

He will. It’s much harder to dodge taxes on individual income, most of the loopholes that exist for escaping taxes are only available to investors and corporations. The richest people in the world don’t actually have near as much money that they can readily spend as their net worth implies, the vast majority of their wealth is tied up in stocks and other non-liquid investments, were they to actually try and convert it all in to cold hard cash, they’d instantly annihilate like 40% of their total wealth or more.

Curry gets paid straight up, he has no way of escaping taxes on it really except what amount he funnels through his 401k but there is a limit to how much of his paycheck he can put in to it without being subject to taxation.

Also, Curry is an unironic creationist moon landing denial retard, I seriously doubt he’s all that savvy at dodging taxes.

bron had 41/16/7
Kyrie had 41/3/6

that's why I said it's cherrypicked man, why you gonna arbitrarily pick 5 rebounds as a cut off just to make your shitty stats look more rare?

Rich Paul did literally nothing wrong except fail to hide his plans. There is no hypocrisy with players colluding with each other when GMs also can (and do) collude with each other.

You notice how nearly all trades talks that happen are kept under wraps until a deal is nearly done while the whole AD and Kahwi fiasco was a drawn out public circus? GMs have agreed to cockblock the Lakers while purposely leaking all the specific details of their dealings to Woj and their other media shills to sow chaos Rich Paul’s plan after they caught wind of what he was doing. In a vacuum of GMs not influencing one another and making purely selfish decisions, the Pelicans would have taken the deal ultimately being offered by the Lakers. The Lakers tried to lowball the Pacers and Spurs for PG and Kahwi, but they did NOT lowball the Pelicans for AD. That was a total desperation offer by the Lakers, the Pelicans are not gonna see a better deal in the off-season from the Celtics which isn’t compelled to put their entire team on the trading block to get a trade done immediately.

who wants to see the lakeshits get the 8th seed just so they can get dicked down by the warriors in the first round

Well it is rare and 5 reb plus 5 ast is a well known cut off for having a well rounded game.

It'd be cherry picked if it was an rare cut off like 6 or 9. It's acceptable to use 5 and 10 as the standard for rebounds and assists. Points cut off is usually multiples of 5. So you rarely see anyone say "at least 27 points" instead of 25

I'd rather see the Kings give them a run for their money and show they're the next powerhouse in the West with super talented collection of young unselfish players.

No one wants to see LeSwept again

the question is what is worse for lebums reputation, getting swept in the first or missing the playoffs...i'm sure the lecuck dicksuckers would try to spin a first round exit as a positive since he "dragged" those rookies to the playoffs...so i'd rather see him miss the playoffs to be on the safeside.

tbqh famalam, I completely seriously think the Knicks could pull this off.

If they net the #1 pick, that is the best centerpiece asset that anyone will offer for AD, and you juice that package with the 2 Mavs 1sts, DSJ and Knox, and like 1 or 2 additional future Knicks 1sts and that’s better than anything the Lakers or Celtics can realistically offer. I also sincerely think Durant will leave GS after this season because he can never become more popular than Curry there, and the Knicks seem like a sensible enough destination.

Really, of those 3 players, Kyrie is the guy who I see as the unlikeliest one just because he’s a wishy washy weirdo who priorities I can’t ever make sense of.

Lebron can will this shitty lakers team to the 8th seed, but he’d be burnt out by then and lakies get swept. Would be fun to see, though. I’d rather not see the kings in the 1st round, though 5-8th seed is pretty close and anything can happen. Rockets coppin that L tonight

>big dumb gay faggot
Why do crackers have 5 year old insults? So embarassing

well why do niggers ruin all the nice places by committing all the crimes and killing people

I’m sorry you’re a baby who can’t reasonably assume I meant the Knicks would throw protections on their own future picks without me having to specify it. I didn’t directly state they would be unprotected picks either.

I say keep the #1 pick and forget ad. If no big FAs come then just keep stacking assets and build around Zion. Getting AD puts you into win right now territory and there’s no guarantee of Durant or kyrie. This is why I think free agency should come before the draft

Literally zero chance the Knicks can trade for AD without offering their 2019 1st. You can have both AD and Zion.

This is all assuming the Knicks even get the first pick. They always and I mean ALWAYS fuck up. The year that they’re finally tanking correctly is the same year that draft odds change. Watch some team like Memphis win the lottery instead.

Should I watch this? I heard that its pretty good

Attached: Screenshot_22.png (793x503, 1.05M)

Bruh, the Celtics can and will absolutely offer at least 4 1sts for AD. I said 1 or 2 extra 1sts, meaning the minimum number of that estimate is the Knicks offer 4 1sts, which is same exact amount the Celtics are probably going to toss at the Pelicans. Their is nothing unusual about that, and DSJ and Knox are currently shitters who may one day be decent, but they don’t have any business being on a team which is actively contending.

You’re deluding yourself if you dont recall Trae Young’s early struggles in the season when the Mavs were fighting for a playoff spot and threads here constantly comparing the two due to the draft day trade.

What you’re saying isn’t at all mutually exclusive with fans diminishing Trae to boast about Luka’s success.

holy kek wow lol

Washington instead of the knicks and its perfect
Fuck tankers

Anthony Davis, agent who's Rich Paul, best friend of LeBron and his agent as well, orchestrates a trade of AD to the Lakers, then gets blown off.

Now the Lakers, trying to get into the playoffs against the odds is playing the Pelicans.

The Pelicans, because AD demanded a trade, sits AD to avoid injury because he's injury prone.

Rich Paul and AD, and LeBron are literally sabotaging the Pelicans and helping the Lakers get into the playoffs in the progress.

This is absolutely horrible and the NBA is doing NOTHING, there's no way they should allow AD to sit out high profile games like this late in the season.

This is unethical and massive collusion on extraordinary levels.

I hope the Lakers lose and OKC gives the Kings to win since they're gassed from last night.

You are confusing “laughing at misfortune” with “rooting for misfortune”. Nobody was rooting against TY, they were just laughing at him for sucking. Same thing would have happened to Luka if he looked like shit early on so you can stop pretending like people are hating on one to prop up the other. People are happily willing to laugh at both when they fail.

Brehs... I seriously feel bad for the Sixies even as a Boston fan.

They had two All NBA candidates Embiid and Simmons on rookie contracts plus fantastic role players (Reddick and Simmons and Saric) PLUS a treasure trove of first round picks

Somehow they managed to fuck it all up beyond repair. Neither Tobias or Butler are worth a max, most of their draft picks are gone, and we’re gonna bounce them in the first round.

Seriously if they had just kept Hinks they would have a dynasty to rival the Warrriors in a year or two. And that’s not even considering they basically gave away Noel for free and drafted Okafor over porzingas and traded up for fultz

This is entirely speculative and seems to contradict your earlier point that he’s been hated since college. The reality is people made sure to mention Trae Young’s failings whenever Luka had a good game going so far as to suggest the Hawks were dumb and only traded Luka because he was white and their fans black. It’s definitely got more to do with affection for Luka than just the struggles of a rookie guard, or would you like to tell me about all the Frank Ntikilina threads this time last year?

Want to talk about a collection of individuals? You're (presumably) watching them right now

You’re being disingenuous to suggest there were any threads here at all mocking Frank, whereas earlier in the season anytime Luka played well or Trae played bad there’d be a direct comparison. Frank plays in the largest market in the league and has been way more underwhelming but his failure (significantly worse than even early Trae) not nearly as celebrated for whatever reason.

I stand by my comment

it's a japanese fan group, you armchair ethnologist.

Might that possibly have something to do with the fact that Frank was drafted 9th while TY was drafted 5th by a team which traded down from 3rd perhaps?

Lonzo gets more shit than all of those players combined, you can stop pretending like the TY hate is special becuz the hawks chose him instead of a white boy. Darko Militic, a yuro, is forever known as “that dude who was drafted behind LeBron over Wade, Carmelo, and Bosh”.

It’s not unfounded speculation to say people will laugh at any player, regardless of race, if they are drafted over a transcendental player.

Remember when everybody thought the league wasn’t rigged for the Lakers. lol, those were the days

simmons is my spirit animal

Im yiking how the league is ignoring the AD intentional helping

I love the O T KC Hune Dr

That has everything to do with the fact Trae was selected after having traded Luka away precisely to my point? I appreciate you having conceded that.

Lonzo had his own hate train but you’re seemingly specifically neglecting to mention it was inspired by his showman father rather than anything he did his own.

You’re the only one who is suggesting it’s his race that’s caused him to be praised, I think it has more to do with people questioning whether or not he’d be succesful due to his Euroleague pedigree and the basketball nerds who predicted his impact being vindicated. It’s only on Yea Forums really he’s hyped due to his race.

posts like remind me that these boards are full of teenagers who think they know more than they do. what a waste of time arguing with any of you.

Bitch, who do you think generates the most revenue and interest in the nba? It’s the Lakers. It’s a business. We run this shit. Deal with it, you filthy flyovers

This, we watched the league dick the Kings out of a title inside of two decades ago. Silver clearly wants the Lakers to return to championship contention form, and doesn’t want Lebron to miss the playoffs. I’m more surprised people are surprised.

then you are a fucking moron
18+ here kid

AD won't give a single shit about the Lakers by the time he's a FA.
Missing the playoffs two years in a row and LeDecline in full slowdown mode assures that

The only teams that matter are the Lakers and Warriors (and really the warriors only because they're stacked and good right now.) Every other team just exists to feed us players and give us someone to beat up on. Celtics get a special mention as our rivals, but literally all other 27 teams don't even have to exist. The Lakers are the main characters of the NBA storyline. Deal with it.

you can't touch me I'm a Warriorsfag

And my point was people aren’t “rooting for TY to fail because of Luka” like you initially stated, and that is the thing that caused this whole argument. The only reason you’re finding some contradictions in my arguments is because you’ve derailed this conversation to something different entirely.

The idea that people are rooting against TY to prop up Luka is patently false. They were just naturally shitting on a player for sucking the same as always.

I want to see the Knicks get Kyrie and nobody else or a very underwhelming “star” player that locks up their cap space for the foreseeable future.

A core of Kyrie and their bust does not get very far even in the East and the New York media trying to get some answers for why the team hasn’t performed well post game from Kyrie should be kino. People say KD would melt down in NY, imagine a guy like Kyrie that’s just a general weirdo and gets set off by the most rudimentary questions. Essentially a Westbrook that hasn’t been loyal enough to any team to acquire a cult following.

At this point we’re just going back and forth, to me it’s obvious people want Young to fail in direct connection with Luka because otherwise why would Young be the least bit relevant when Luka is having a good game? You didn’t see entire threads devoted to Lonzo being mocked, as hated as he was, when Tatum was playing well.

Young’s early hate in the NBA was totally unique to any other given prospect, you mentioned Lonzo and neglected to mention all of the other rookie guards that year who totally played like shit (as rookie guards usually do) and didn’t have half the hate Young does. Same as always? Where were all the Dennis Smith Jr threads last year? Nobody gives a shit about rookies sucking 90% of the time.

Trae hate is mostly a product of Luka love, which is why 80% of the time a separate thread is made about him it’s a juxtaposition of the two in an image asking why the Hawks made the wrong choice. I’m glad the guy is playing well now so Luka fans can appreciate him without tearing down some kid that didn’t choose to be traded for him.

Gonna laugh pretty hard when the Clippers that fucked around this season make it into the play offs instead of lakers

Nah, at least the Cowboys and Yankees are actually the most valuable teams in their sports by far, the Lakers are not even the main character in their sport.

is it safe to say the warriors will be number 1 in 3-4 years?

6/10 of those have ugly logos and uniforms so who cares

What are you talking about? All season we’ve known the Sixers are fucking frauds

No, they will fall if anything after KD leaves. This is their peak.

You’re gonna see kids in war torn Romania with Curry t shirts on, they’re the new Chicago Bulls. I think it’s so silly people think the owner is afraid of paying repeater tax

>success
10th seed, see

Honestly, fuck n*ggers

IT'S TRAE WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

fuck off I remember you dick sucking Tobias Harris, don't lie

If the 76ers has Klay instead of Jimmy Butler they’d contend.

except Lonzo isn't injured, he's throwing a tantrum and is afraid to face the coach after his dad shit all over him.
Like I said, we're laughing at you

nice big 4 shitxers

KD is what makes the Warriors invincible as opposed to just “good”. In case you forgot, LeBron has already daddicked a KD-less Warriors team

>lebron was never injured

Why didn’t Lebron beat them in 2015, since he did it by himself?

Oh man I think I gotta drop another fat jaylen brown, I only just had one ffs

Cavs were still trying to develop chemistry. It usually takes at least a year for a newly formed team to find its footing.

i wish she would do porn

in 2015 the gsw team was still bettter than lebron's, but it was vulnerable

now with kd they are unbeatable

That’s irrelavent, Lebron wins by himself and doesn’t need all star teammates to drop forty bombs or hit daggers to win. Why didn’t he beat the ‘good’ GSW on his own in 2015 when Kyrie and Love went down?

>this is someone's mom
my condolences

whatever dude, I don’t care your obsession over lebron. I was just saying the Warriors were beatable without KD.

your mom doesn't mind

yo shutup

>a 73 win team was just 'good'

Any team is beatable when performances like this are considered an after thought

How the fuck is Brooklyn worth that much? They're essentially a brand new team and have had basement-tier attendance for the last several seasons. I'm convinced the Nets only exist as a Russian money laundering front for Prokhorov.

Yes, seeing as how they didn’t even win a championship that year, it was literally demonstratively just a ‘good’ team and not an invincible one.

wwwww

Jimmy Butler doesn’t really make a team better, his play style doesn’t work in today’s game. He’d be all NBA caliber in 2005 though

nobody saw it and those who did claimed refballs

see

Lmao fuck you

Hope my Thundies rest the starters to spite you cucks

That’s one ugly nigger

Lakers generate interest because they have over 50 years of success and a built-in die hard fan base along with a bunch of a casuals around the country and globe. They are the Yankees of the NBA. The NBA would take a huge loss in money if a scandal like what’s happening to Bob Craft ever happened to the Lakers franchise. We run this shit. Everybody wants to live here. Fucking know your role and deal with it, you irrelevant white hick/third world/euro trash. Nobody cares about you.

>all these laker haters
another night another time /nba/ gets BTFO by my Lakies :)

Is that why you're the 10th seed? You keep losing

it's only night in shitholes right now

philly is fucking trash

people say shit like "they have 4 guys in their starting line up that can drop 25 a game"

yea bullshit, you can't just stick talent together and expect them to have chemistry

it was an extremely lucky shot. I doubt he could do that same move twice in a row consistently

It’s always been either New York or La in terms of revenue and popularity because of the population density and legacy you morons. More people live in LA, however, because of the weather but they are all fair weather faggots who jumped on the warriors bandwagon.

It’s reallf California generating 7 billion opposed to New York generating 4 billion. We still draw the most dimes, brother.

NEW THREAD

they are joel embeeb babbies

>You keep losing
Then how come we won against the Cockshits? Better watch out because Bron Bron is unleashed and will wreak havoc upon the league.

how quickly people forget this team won like 20 games 2 years ago. Getting jimmy butler and tobias harris doesn't make them a superteam

1. Lebron
2. Harden
3. Curry
4. Kyrie
5. Cp3
6. Kemba
7. West brick
8. Dame
9. Lowry
10. Fox

Lebron, harden and Curry will go down as the best point guards of this decade.

DeRozan....

Nah that's an MVP caliber shot that only big boy ballers like PG can make on a regular basis

remember when the magic won a ring?

IT could have signed a nice reasonable contract with the Celtics, something like 5 years $50 million. Instead he demanded a max deal like he's not 5'4" and the biggest defensive liability in the league. But Ainge is the bad guy

If anyone came up to me and told me there are more than two pg's in the NBA better than Kyrie I'd probably request them to be locked up in a mental ward

Curry
Westbrook
Kyrie
Lillard
Simmons
Russell
CP3
Kemba
Lowry
Fox

also you are retarded, also also someone make a new thread
