/nba/ General - RAPTIES 47-17

Is JJJ playing? Is JV playing? That's all you need

JV is going to average 20/10 the rest of the year

lmao this nigger PA

So they might not make the playoffs without PG does that mean you expect a Suns-tier team to come into their house and win by double digits? Especially when they still have WB/Adams?

well first off the Grizz arent Suns tier, they have average or above average defenders at every position even with Conley out.

Secondly
>without PG does that mean you expect a Suns-tier team to come into their house and win by double digits?

yes i do, how exactly do you think OKC beats a team with Westbrook taking 30 shots a game with plan B being literally hope Dennis Schroeder temporarily turns into Curry and hits like 6 3s in a game?

Danny Green 3 incoming

That shot from behind the backboard should have been an and1, no reason that shouldn't count. Refs are blind. And that announcer is retarded.

These dudes going like it's Game 1

Yes the bucks lost to the jizz with their star player. Raptors dont even care because it's a marathon not a sprint. Bucks will learn after their 18th consecutive year without a playoff series win.

raptors are literally getting bounced in the first rounds

Legitimately no doubt in my mind, there’s not a single team in the playoffs that wouldn’t at worst sweep them

could've used JV tonight. he kills drummond.

I remember this too but it was because Kareem was a scholar and humanitarian and it wasn't neglect, but more a disconnect with his father.

Is it just me, or does it feel like Lebron has disappeared from the NBA ever since getting swept last year? He is such a non-factor in the league right now that it makes me wonder if he was ever here to begin with.

I for one welcome the no LeBron era with open arms.

He was a blight on the NBA's history

So......did MJ molest those kids or is the new doc just a con job?

He definitely molested kids, if his money looked like yours or mine he’d be under the jail

LeBron is not gonna shut himself down for the playoffs. He's going to at least try and pass MJ in scoring this season so he can have something to claim while his team sits out during the summer.

Hope he reaggravates his injury, he was always too uppity to listen to anyone else

Selfish stat padding no defense loser

Alright alright, you right tho. It's just so retarded seeing the Lakers ruin their franchise off of former Lakers' instead of bringing people in who actually know what they are doing. The Clippers will be more relevant than the Lakers solely because of Jerry West...ironically the Laker great who's one of the best executives in the league.

red pill me on hayward, kyrie and the celtics.

When Kyrie sits the Celtics run sets practically every play and are able to switch everything on defense, every player benefits from handling/passing the rock and being able to convert on open looks. Each player averages legit 5 hockey assist regardless of position which is a marvel.

When Kyrie plays they iso every time down the court, 5 out. Kyrie takes every possession off on defense to conserve himself on offense.

That’s still neglect ya brainlet.

Honestly, with the Lakers' remaining games, I'd be surprised if they actually won one.

Was Lebron ever good?

This.

maybe in the 30's

Would rather watch Luka and Trae battle it out for the next 20 years than watch Lebron play another game. Want him to get injured, not just the kind that ends his career but effects him for the rest of his life.

Who?

they have a point. most bigs are SFs or centers these days. including lebron

completely legal but sometimes he takes an extra step and it is not legal

Blake Griffin

Blake has been a point forward this year and he's amazing at it and I'm mad Doc Rivers wasted his prime years off ball while Cliff Paul ballhogged the Cloppers to early exists.

It’s not Doc’s fault Chris Paul is a bad player.

Doc didn't have the balls to take the ball out of Paul's hands so it's his fault as well. You have to tell your players to fuck off and listen for the greater good of winning at times. Phil Jackson and Pop are the masters of this. Pop especially. Phil in the Bulls years, Kobe years not so much.

The difference being Jordan, Manu, Kobe, Shaq, Duncan and Pippen aren’t incredibly uppity.

Pop is the master of this but what happened when Kawhi started prioritizing his own desires over those of the team? You can’t do anything about guys like Chris Paul or Lebron, that’s a problem for management.

So is Butler expendable for the Sixers? With the arrival of Harris is he no longer a need or fit? Where will he go where he can become the "guy"? I'm guessing he goes to the Kings or Clippers.

He’s coming to my Knicks

Dennis
Butler
KD
Knox
Robinson

This is an elite defensive team and wins the East.

there are rumors that morey is interested in getting him but I guess it all depends on what happens with kyrie

As a Sixers fan, I can safely say we're never winning shit with Simmons until he stops being a stat obsessed loser and starts shooting jump shots regardless of percentages.

You cannot win in the NBA without taking a jump shot.

No way possible to afford Butler

>random gambler moves

Off yourself homer

Trade Embiid, play Simmons exclusively at the 4/5 with four elite shooters.

I'd trade Embiid right now to the Jazz for Gobert and Ingles

C: Gobert

SF: Ingles

PG: Simmons

That team is good enough to wreck the East and you bury the dead weight of Butler and Embiid.

Josh Jackson is such a nigger, domestic violence in his jacket, plays like shit and doesn’t fulfill any obligations. Suns literally just grabbed the highest player available on most mock drafts

there hasn't been this much of a dissapointment with a lakers team since 2013

Attached: 2012-2013lakers.jpg (680x413, 151K)

That team was only a disappointment because of drama, bad ego management, and injuries, mostly injuries.

This is a disappointment because: LeBron brought a shit ton of undeserved hype with him, the young guys are either busts and mostly project players being asked to suddenly get good, and half the team was trying to be shipped out and thrown to the wolves.

Also it should be remembered that team had Kobe, who carried them to the playoffs, while LeBron has given up on the team and actively bitches to them during games without any show of remorse and sensitivity.

how much market share could the Clippers pick up in LA with the Lakers sucking balls + Kawhi?

If they rebranded I think they could draw a new generation of fans in socal that only know the Lakers as losers

When they move to that new arena they have a ton of options that can make them or break them

How is Landry Shamet so good already?

Would have been much better for LeBron's legacy to sign a 4 year with Cleveland this summer and retire as the hometown hero. Go back and read that 2014 SI piece.

>"I'm coming home"
> "My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball. I didn’t realize that four years ago. I do now."
>"I always believed that I’d return to Cleveland and finish my career there. I just didn’t know when. After the season, free agency wasn’t even a thought. But I have two boys and my wife, Savannah, is pregnant with a girl. I started thinking about what it would be like to raise my family in my hometown. I looked at other teams, but I wasn’t going to leave Miami for anywhere except Cleveland. The more time passed, the more it felt right. This is what makes me happy."

Now that man Rich Paul actually convinced LeBron to become the clown of Los Angeles. LeBron is never going to have that LA prestige that Magic and Kobe had. He looks like an absolute clown now.

Can someone explain to me why is Kawhi always resting? He plays one game, then doesn't play the next, then plays the one after, then doesn't play again. What the fuck is going on? Is he the one deciding to rest all the time or is it the coach? Because if it's him, he's clearly saving himself for LA next season. The guy could be having a MVP season but he's almost missing more games than actual games he played on. Shouldn't the Raptors also care about their seed? What if the drop to third or even forth? What the hell is wrong with Kawhi, it's like he's a different person from the years with San Antonio.

OH NONONONONONONONONONO

They need a center, wonder what Gortat would be like in that locker room. Guy has legitimately never given a shit about someone’s stats if a team isn’t winning and always called out his teammates in public. Not that a waiver wire big is going to turn their season around.

they deserve each other.

A Melo signing would be a shit cherry on top of a boo boo sundae of a Lakers season

Grizzlies look like they have some good pieces going forward, they just have to hope to convey their pick this year in a weak draft instead of going forward.

keep lecuck, kuzma, ingram, and lonzo

get rid of everyone else, even walton, magic, and pelinka

Get rid of Magic and Pelinka and I feel like free agents will be turned off by the front office instability.

Why’d the Mavericks trade Dennis? Felt like a very light sample size to determine he and Luka would never mesh.

Also why’d they give up and take on so much salary for an expiring KP who could take a qualifying offer? Do they just not value cap space and first round picks?

This draft looks like absolute shit, why would anyone tank this year?

Warriors are bringing back Bogut who’s coming off an MVP and DPOY season in australia. He’s in shape and he already has chemistry with the team. Fuckin YIKESSS

>one gets zion
>everyone else gets trash

Just like every other draft :^)

He’s gonna fuck up the locker room talking about Trump

Wrong. Fake news.

Kerr and dem are gonna talk about not going to the White House and Bogut is gonna start talking about black unemployment under Trump.

Dennis wanted out after the small sample size, the Mavericks were perfectly happy to give it the full season.
When they shopped him at first no one was biting because they knew how bad Dennis and really his agent were pushing for a trade and low-balled. Then the Mavericks publicly stated they weren't going to accept bad offers and intended to keep him through the season. After that a pretty cloak and dagger deal was made with the Knicks and both teams end up looking exceptionally poised to offer big contracts this off season. Kevin Durant is going to one of these teams, screencap this

Wrong. Fake news.

Dallas doesn’t get free agents user, come on.

>Dallas doesn’t get free agents user
They do when they have 30 mil a year to spend.

Just enough to overpay Nikola Vucevic

>lakers had the option of getting kawhi and george, two people that WANTED to go to LA along with maybe boogie to form a big three and become the alphas of the west once again
>decided to pick up an aging cuck who nobody wants to play for and would rather beat instead, while said cuck has already accomplished his dream and has nothing left to prove for basketball and would rather make tv shows and movies while killing the organization for the next four years

Makes ya wonder...

We don't get big time free agents in Dallas and I would hard pass on a snake like Durant anyway. We'll keep taking the Euros

It’s almost like AIDS-riddled retards should not be allowed to manage billion-dollar organizations

leave some for us...

This is one of the best drafts in years clown
>Duke alone gonna produce at least 3 superstars
I mean I know Yea Forums NBA "fans" aren't real basketball fans but holy shit at least pretend to watch

The Duke kids are all good
Zion just got the major exposure from the shoe issue and now everyone is acting like he's been the clear favorite of the 3 since preseason.

We are getting a top 5 free agent this off season. If not Durant, who would you want?

There’s not a single all star on the Duke team, two of those three won’t even be starters

Jokic - 61/62 games
Murray - 56/62 games

What did he mean by this?

i missed the rule change to NBA games being 2 on 2

Lakespics don’t watch NBA, they look at 2k ratings to determine which players are of any consequence

>WTF is an RJ Barrett, the best player on the team
>WTF is a Tre Jones

Tre Jones isn’t even a lottery pick or guaranteed to be drafted in the first round, he’ll be a third guard on a bad team like his brother at best. Quinn Cook type of player

RJ Barrett is Shabazz Muhammad with worse defense and a worse jump shot, bad free throw shooter as well.

Those are the best 2 players on the nuggets, scatporn nation. As opposed to the Lakers missing LeBron and both passing point guards missing 20 plus games. I don't give a damn about the Lakers but they have had worse injuries than most teams, especially the Nuggies, Jokic misses 20 games and Denver dive bombs in the West

Oh it's the "nobody has ever been worth drafting except the proven 4 year pro vets"

Opinion discarded.

This isn't baseball where you need to be fully developed by your sophomore year in college. Come on

Pretty much everyone on the LeBron allstar team roster. He thought he could sweet talk people to come help him burn down the Lakers

Nice straw man argument

If the Bulls get the 1st pick what do they do about that PF log jam?

>dominate the east for years
>cant make the playoffs in west

Why does NBA not have 1-16 seeds?

Eastern owners would lose playoff revenue, and therefore wouldn’t agree to it in a vote

The Sixers should build around Jimmy Butler and trade Embiid.

Oh makes sense, it's not shared revenue like NFL?

Zion to Atlanta please, want to watch Trae pull up from 30 drawing the defense out so he can throw a lob from that same distance to Zion or John the Baptist

I never liked him, wish that faggot went somewhere else.

There has to be an argument in the first place for there to be a strawman lol

If I had the number two pick I would just trade down

Oladipo can legit be a superstar if he stays healthy

Karma is a bitch, Stern gave the Knicks Patrick Ewing for media purposes and they never won shit. Came very close as well which made the Ls sting even worse.

>Mo fucking Williams
man, anyone remember how mo williams opted in for the next season in what, 2017 or so, only to retire like right after the guarantee date for his salary?

He’s the only all star I can think of who I never really had any idea where he was signed.

Sure but not to your 2 best players all the time. What's your point?

Lonzo is a fat bust that smells like lonzo

Yikes; how do I block leafs? They are worse than SACfags.

Why do people think Melo would be a shit fit for the lelkers?

He's gonna be better than 90% of the roster, only eclipsed by Lecuck and maybe Ingram.

Lonzo is absolute shit, I can’t believe he’s one of the best on the roster shooting 40% on his free throws. Injuries don’t happen frequently to 34 year olds playing 40mpg? Lakers are shit, Lebron wasn’t hurt when you lost to the Suns and Grizzlies

Being better than 90% of lakers roster doesn't mean shit.

>cant shoot
>cant defend
What's the point of him

Fucking typical clown. There are two sides of the ball imbecile. I would say BI is better now anyways.

>white dried up dogshit on the sidewalk is better than some wet dogshit in the grass

lmao build your safespace
wouldn't expect anything less pathetic from a lakeshit

There are two sides of the ball, so it’s cool to be ass on one side of the ball? Lebron is your best player and he hasn’t played defense all year.
>Ingram is better now anyway
Cool, so no excuses for losing to tanking teams right?

kings, clippers, knicks, and heat. he'll go to one of those teams.

EVEN CARMELO DOESNT WANT TO JOIN THE LAKERS LMAAAOOOOOOOOOOO

>using the word safespace

Absolute cringe

Sure? There are plenty of players like that in NBA. Problem is dont really need scoring you fucking retard they need defense.

a superstar that's not even an all star. boy he's not even on lillards level and lillard is no superstar

After the absolutely pathetic showing last night of my fraudters, I have decided to become a Knicks fan

My lakeshits :)

>Lakers wont make the playoffs

Yeah teams are knocking down the door to trade for Frank Ntikilina players, name three starters in the league who shoot less than 50% from the free throw line. You confuse capability on the defensive end of the floor with being complete inept at offense. Lakers need someone who can hit their free throws in a crunch time since Lebron chokes against the Suns in crunch time.

Lakers are a fucking joke and not having an offensive liability point guard isn’t why they’re losing to teams that are literally constructed to lose as many games as possible.

Uhm ok? The thing is no one on Lakers can hit 3s or free throws, how is that balls fault? Ball being gone clearly hurts the Lakers more than anyone thinks. Not sure what to say to you.

my lakers are steaming garbage :)

>How is that Ball’s fault?
He also can’t hit free throws or make threes, he’s part of the problem the nigga is trash, just like your Lakeshits, Lakespic.

What a hot take. Lakers are trash.

>hes part of the problem

5-12 without him, please tell me more.

Skill > athleticism. If Lebron had developed a reliable 15 foot j, a post game, and handles he’d be able to contribute consistently to a winner.

Instead he was always able to just stiff arm his way to the basket

LeBron is not a leader of men like Brady. He's basically Aaron Rodgers with brown skin

Kek fool just loved to fuck kids

He only went to 8 straight finals carrying shit teams most the time. Without getting first week byes every playoffs.

This Aaron Rodgers fella, does he enjoy the company of women?

Luke Walton is not the issue.

Lonzo Ball would not have made this season any different.

The issue is the whole roster outside of LeBron is bad. Magic signed a bunch of veteran clowns on 1 year deals, which tells them "we don't give a fuck about you." Their rookies are overrated because they're in a Lakers jersey. Magic really thought he could get 25 year old AD with a package of bums.

LeBron seriously needs help. This Lakers team would get womped on in the east as well.

Attached: 1_Q562RzJYBBaOP_Nqr0f70Q.0.jpg (1400x1050, 200K)

I mean, he was never hurt during those stretches and consistently put up good numbers. Saying he didn't carry some of those teams is asinine.

I bet you the guy in the middle can barely play basketball.

>5-12 without ball

Losing your best defense player means, you lose more games!

Magic needs to be fired.

How do you carry a team that has elite players on it? If I recall correctly Lebron is the reason the Heat didn’t win three titles

LEbron need help, psychological help, dude is done long ago, he need guys to carry him, but no one wants to doit cause Lebron is massive cunt

Kyrie is coming to the lakers and there is nothing you faggots can do about it.

That’s fine, it’s not like Lebron and Kyrie won anything the last season they played together.

Imagine not being good enough of a team for Melo to play for.

Lakers might now be worse than Hawks tier

Yea, I guess you're right to a degree. He needs elite players who are mentally strong and can take over games for him when he goes into bitch mode. No one on the lakers can do that for him, so he is just being a big baby bitch fag. Cashed it this season waiting for a star to carry him next. I hope no one comes in the summer, and the league makes him look like a bitch on one of the greatest basketball sports teams in history.

If your best defensive player is a point guard, then that's an issue. The Lakers have nobody to play defense down low.

Lonzo Ball is still a complete black hole on offense. By him being on the floor and being your "defensive specialist", it basically makes the opponents team guards become defensive specialists because Lonzo can't score. Other teams will still outscore and outshoot the Lakers.

I would trade LBJ for trae young who says no.

I agree with you. It's just the facts of the team, and its not how you win.

Imagine hiring based to nepotism or connections lol no wonder the lakers Fucking suck

Imagine wanting Melo on your team.

joel embiid

The 2017 Cavs have the highest playoff offensive rating in NBA history. Put that Cavs squad against most teams in NBA history and they win most of the time. It just so happened that a 73 win team replaced Harrison Barnes with Kevin Durant that season.

I’d be down to watch the shit show in LA when Kyrie signs there

Peoole forget the 2017 Cavs were better than that 2016 championship squad. They just ran into the greatest dynasty of all time and then kyrie bitched out and left. I feel LeBron would have also won the 2015 title if Love and Kyrie were healthy.

Yes. I agree LeBaby needs more help.

You're good. You have the best player in the game and he's turning what, 27-28 next year?

Serious question. Trade Lebron and Kawhi which teams get better? I think the Lakers get better because they get a lockdown defender. The Raptors might get better because they have a guy that can set up open shooters

Raptors clearly lose that trade, what kind of question even is this

Are you joking? Lebum is not even a top 5 player in the league right now while Kawhi is top 3

>serious question
>trade LeBron

Are people forgetting his historic playoff run with the Cavs last season?

If LeBron is the Raptors killer and he joined the team, would he lose on purpose?

Are people forgetting him missing the playoffs this year?

...

This is good thread timing

Gianni was in but Brogdon, Bledsoe, Hill, Devencenzo, were all out. Giannis put up 43, the starters did good they just were so depleted they couldn't get much from the bench and just got grinded out by the end. I guess even the Bucks can't win literally every game. Also they rest Giannis if he so much as stubs his toe and they're playing a shit team

Nice.
