Kawhi's uncle for President who says no?

What the fuck was Magic thinking by giving the news conference before informing J. Buss?

How bad are the Timberwolves?

- Kevin Loves best teammate was a younger shitty version of JJ Barea who couldn't hit a single shot so Love would get 5 putbacks a game on his misses.

- KATs best teammate is Wiggins, the most overpaid player in the league who has never shown he cares about the game.

- Wasted prime KG, Love, and now KAT.

Holy Shit what a fraud. Lakies fans should be happy this guy quit though.

Any front office would rather have a player who's biggest concern coming into the NBA is his jumpshot than a proven guard that can create his own shot in the NBA? Sometimes the detractors of an NBA prospect aren't just "haters" and there are legitimate deficiencies in a young players game

Lebron should come home. We've got point Larry now, Kevin Love, Collin Sexton and will add another legitimate player next year. No team can hold him in the East, and we should be getting some cap space with TT and JR's contracts expiring. Just need to move Clarkson and add a few more two way players and we've got a squad.

Ok just looked at our cap sheet and a lot of it is tied up in Delly, John Henson, JR Smith (partially guaranteed), and TT. All expiring contracts, if Lebron came back it probably would not cost much to dump them to a team with cap space but no prospect of adding legitimate talent

Looks like my rapshits will have home court advantage in the finals :)

Lakers are never going to be good again. Buss died. His offspring are mouthbreathing retards. The team will eventually be sold to a soulless corporation that will moneyball them.

Who would take him?

Why do Florida women faces look caked in shit

No one who has space to add Lebron needs him more than their picks right now, I also think the word is out on how toxic he can be in a locker room and it would be much worse were he not sent to a team of his own choosing.
The only viable solution I could think of is him to the Rockets, flipping CP3 to the Lakers. But the problem is he would want to play on the Rockets because he got to play with CP3.

I don't think an insider scoop was needed. The Lakers were leaking things themselves. Between magic, LBJ, Rich Paul, Luke, and Jeanie they were all feeding the media info. Just amazed at how magic bitched out like this LMAO

I think Chris Paul's inability to play alongside Harden was always overblown, given he is an elite shooter with tremendous basketball IQ and unselfish player. I think Lebron would have trouble, he's gone on record suggesting he did not like the idea of playing off the ball for the Lakers because he had been to four finals playing his way.
Guy has all the talent in the world but will always prefer to do things his way, I don't think he'd have ever benefitted from playing under Popovich or Phil Jackson.

California really must be a shithole if your response is “uh well ACKSHULLY, we had water this year!”. Most states never will have to worry about this.

So that pretty much confirms no one is going to the Lakers this summer, right? Like the front office was already rumored to be a shit hole, turning off Paul George who was projected as a lock for LA.
Now it’s in complete disarray and there’s no one at the helm.

There’s a certain spark to his tweets that I find refreshing.

Kemba never would've gotten as good as he has playing in a bigger market though. They would've given up on him well before this point. Like if he got drafted by the Lakers it would've just been D'Lo all over again.

Riley literally believes any roleplayer he finds undrafted is untouchable and more valuable than a superstar, I guess due to the time invested in developing their game. Could have been in the playoffs with relative ease

He snitched on a teammate and broke up his engagement which broke the locker room, it made sense to get rid of him since he was trash. He may have made all star but did so in the east against shit competition and over shit pgs, he would not have done so in the west and would still be considered a bust in the west. Magic did the right thing to get rid of him, people are just mad at the lakers so they aren't looking at that trade objectively. Magic did fuck up other trades though, but not the dlo one.

They'll probably wait to see what happens this off season if they can get anyone or not, if not, trading him would the best option they got. Trade him for two solid players, a good bench player and two first round picks. The Lakers would be better off and be a playoff team.

Traded an all star for Nick Young, who went to the Warriors and got hardware. Yeah D'lo wouldn't be an all star in the West, but he's averaging 20ppg 7apg with 20PER. Meanwhile Lakers fans salivate over Lonzo's capabilities while putting up 9ppg 5rpg 5apg on 11PER and shooting worse than prime Shaq from the free throw line.

The point isn't D'lo is elite, although you can't argue objectively he's not in the upper echelon of the deepest position in the league, but he's a hell of a lot better than the Lakers young players. So is Randle

A horny frustrated Gabrielle Union is a nice thought. I could be her James Hurley.

Got some head and an itty bitty bit of pussy yesterday and haven't really been able to jack off since then. Can /nba/ recommend some good porn, gotta have blacks in it

I think Lonzo does. >muh scoring aside he's still a positive impact player that can still easily be a starter on a title team one day. LaVar is just a loudmouth but well-meaning stage dad and Magic handled that situation well.
Ingram at least plays defense well and doesn't always need the ball to be effective.
I also liked Nance, Randle, and Zoobots but they probably were looking to get paid and Magic was trying to clear cap space for a max contract FA this summer and that may not have been possible if they all got paid.
It still might work. We'll just have to see this summer. I do agree they should have tried to keep at least one(not all) of them though.
D'Lo was fine as a prospect but they needed to ditch Moz's contract to free cap space for LeBron and he didn't and doesn't really do anything on the court LeBron doesn't do better.

theres nothing wrong with attending gay pride marches. ive been to 3 or 4. its a great place to score some chicks

Yeah so if Lonzo can be a starter on a title team despite being much worse in every single statistical measure than D'lo, besides rebounding (two extra boards per game), there's no reason to genuinely think that D'lo doesn't have the mystical quality that separates Lakers players from the rest of the pack while effectively doubling his PER and VORP and tripling his win shares.
>muh scoring
Lol I can tell you're a real Laker fan when you ignore every other criticism of Lonzo's game and diminish his criticisms to people thinking he doesn't score enough. How about his field goal, three point and free throw percentage? When he does score he does it much worse than the average NBA player, he is an offensive liability.
>He doesn't do anything Lebron doesn't do better
Yeah, but he's much better than the incumbent of similar age at his own position at literally everything. Why not ditch the objectively much shittier player? His value was at it's peak during the draft and has not approached that since.

Does this increase the chances of the Lakers getting another all star or decrease? On one hand, Magic is a very charismatic man who it's hard to say no to when you're sitting across a table from him. On the other hand, Magic was an awful president/GM, so maybe players and their agents didn't want their contracts in the hands of Magic. Since Magic is gone, do you think players think the Lakers are more appealing or no?

2019~20: $37,436,858

There's no way the Lakers could afford to max Kemba and give peanuts to any "big time" free agent anyway

Yes and no depending on who they'll hire as the new President (and the GM too if Jeannie sacks Rob Lowe) plus any perceived downsides of playing with Lebron remain

Lakers are definitely being replaced by the Warriors or Clippers as the California team. NBA fans are generally very young, in another five years the Lakers past titles and glory will fade and they'll be known as a struggling franchise that can't get their shit together whereas your average Mexican kid is going to be rocking some Kawhi/Curry gear.

Lonzo does some things that don't show up on the stat sheet. It's not always about scoring. The "mystical quality" separating D'lo and Lonzo is their ability to contribute to winning. Remember they were a top 4 team in the West before Lonzo/LeBron got hurt, which was not bad considering they had a new team and needed some time to gel.

Isaiah Thomas once averaged more points a game than Rondo. Rondo was a starter on a championship team though. Could you say the same about IT2?

I'm not saying Lonzo shouldn't try and improve his scoring. I'm just saying he's still a positive impact player despite that.

I don't think Lonzo is a shittier player than D'Lo. I actually think he's better at the things championship level teams need, like defense and playmaking. If you're looking to take a lottery team, sure, pay D'Lo. But if you're looking to build a title team, you have to keep Lonzo.

People compare D'Lo to Harden when I think it's an unwarranted comparison. I call him the flyover Harden because he doesn't have the juice in his game needed to be an elite impact player Harden is. For example, he doesn't score nearly as efficiently or get to the line at the same rate. If he was still on the Lakers he'd just take the ball away from LeBron.

autist

Chuck Hayes desu

youtube.com/watch?v=0wQq9YWZ568

It depends on who is going to be the next GM. Anyways, I don't see them getting any top free agent this offseason, but with a competent GM they could attract and assemble a great cast of veteran role players (i.e. people who can actually shoot the ball and play D).

>muh empty calories low efficiency scoring
Smush Parker once averaged more points than Jason Kidd. Would you say he's the better player?

D'lo would not be scoring at the same rate with LeBron on the team and his defense would also be exposed. The Lakers would also have a worse record as well as a lower chance of attracting a star FA with D'lo instead of Lonzo on the team.

they probably ran their offenses through them as a send off

>It's not always about scoring
You realize D'lo has double the AST% of Lonzo as well, right? There is literally no aspect of his game that can't be quantified to where you can objectively argue Lonzo is better than D'lo.
>playmaking
Again, D'lo not only averages more assist but while on the floor is more likely to end a possession in an assist than Lonzo Ball.
>winning basketball
The Nets have a better record than the Lakers, you can argue Lonzo got hurt but he's only ever played 50 games per season in his career. That is more seasons playing less than 60 games than Steph Curry who is considered injury prone.
>if you're looking to build a title team you keep Lonzo
A guy who can not be on the floor in a clutch situation because he is unable to finish effectively from anywhere on the floor and converts free throws worse than prime Shaq?
>Isaiah Thomas and Rondo comparison
Isaiah Thomas averaged 27ppg on 62% TS, if he was on a Celtics team with three Hall of Famers it is likely they win the title. There are more ways to look at a player's impact than scoring, you're right. And all of those mectrics suggest Lonzo is one of the worst players in the NBA.

NBA is rigged.

CP3 is still the point God and if they dont get screwed by the crooked officials again this year they gon win the ship

53% TS is league average, Lonzo has 48% TS this season and 46% for his career. He is one of the least efficient starters in the NBA, might be the least efficient guard.

On a team that plays no defense?

This, are we absolutely sure Dirk is retiring? He hasn't said anything.

Fuck

Because management is terrible. I dont know why people wonder this. It's a business. If ownership/management is poor then the product delivery will be poor. Places like Boston or the Spurs have great leadership in every position. The clippers now have that with Jerry west running the show. The Lakers is controlled by retard kids of a legend.

What would happen if Dirk doesn't retire?

draft zion
get kevin durant
get kyrie
and we good baby

D'lo has a high AST% because he is their only playmaker in the starting lineup. He would not have the same AST% with LeBron on the team.

Nets have a better record not solely because of D'Lo. They have lots of underrated players like Jarrett Allen, Dinwiddie, RHJ, LeVert, etc.

Lonzo's FT% shooting is an issue but that still doesn't preclude him from being a higher positive impact player than D'lo. .

IT would have gotten lit up on defense by guys like Chauncey Billups and would get destroyed by Kobr and LeBron 1v1, while Rondo held his own occasionally against those two. He would not have been able to effectively get the ball to Ray Allen/Pierce/KG like Rondo did.

Like I've said earlier, if you're looking to take a lottery team to the playoffs, sure, take D'Lo. But if you're looking to win the title, in keeping with Laker tradition, you take Lonzo.

Does anyone here actually believe Magic was a good or even decent GM?

is it the jazz's year lads?

Dirk needs to retire and start producing more light skin babies with his chocolate african wife.

I rather have Kyrie desu. He has that Rucker in his game and isn't a flyover statpadder like D'Lo. If you're going to have a scoring PG you need one like Kyrie that can actually create his own shot against championship-level defenses.

Tonight was an amazing NBA night, cant wait for the playoffs.

kcp is only 26

As what, president of Golden Corral?

What are you on about you fucking retard? D'Lo has led a team of literally who's back to the playoffs while scoring 21 points and 7 assists per game. Why the fuck are you calling them empty stats?

Lonzo is one of the worst shooters in recent NBA history. He regressed in his second season and averages 10 points/5 rebounds/5 assists with one of the league-worst TS%. In this NBA era, no team can afford to have a point guard who can't shoot the ball. He isn't even that good at attacking the rim (check the stats, he's worse than league average). He has some notorious health problems (his ankles are busted).

>D'lo would not be scoring at the same rate with LeBron on the team and his defense would also be exposed.
How do you know? I think D'Lo and LeBron would be a great combination. D'Lo can shoot the ball and be an efficient playmaker, filling a similar role to Kyrie.

>The Lakers would also have a worse record as well as a lower chance of attracting a star FA with D'lo instead of Lonzo on the team.
Yeah, everyone dies to play with LaVar's son instead of a All Star PG.

he's also shit

It's obviously not good but at least he doesn't take that many shots. If he was taking as many shots as IT2 on the Cavs then yes it would become a bigger issue

I don't watch them so I'll go with what you said. My point is D'Lo is their leading scorer but is not the only reason they're a winning team this year. I'm sure we agree on that

You're forgetting that Levert missed over half the season when he fucked his shit up back in nov. and dinwiddle missed months with injuries. Dlo carried the nets offensively for most of the season

If you round, LeBum

lebron will go down in history as the only player to destroy 3 franchises

how will MJ ever recover?

hopefully harden

hes decent, watch him leave for another club then hit his prime and become great

>They have a lot of underrated players
Whom he leads in all statistical categories not related to defense and rebounding. No one argued he was solely successful for an NBA team's record, but he definitely can contribute to winning basketball. He's already doing it as the objective best player on an NBA roster while Lonzo spent much of this season battling the worst version of Rajon Rondo for the starting spot in the rotation.

>He would not have the same AST% with Lebron on the team

Has Lonzo only played basketball with Lebron on his team? He still does not have close to the same AST% as D'lo in his rookie year where he ran the offense.
>IT would guard Kobe and Chauncey Billups
No, this isn't 2k.

>Win the title
You are in the lottery. You can blame injuries but Lonzo has never played more than 55 games, that is who he is. So Lonzo outside of a hypothetical scenario in which he is healthy for a full season, is not the player to move forward with competing for a title.

This is why KCP makes 12M streamable.com/iskcm

NO

You act like D'lo carried the Nets the way LeBron carried the Cavs. Not even fucking close.

Scoring is not the only aspect of winning titles. You need defense and playmaking too.

D'Lo would fill a similar role to Kyrie but he would not have a similar impact. He would be more like IT2 on the Cavs instead of Kyrie because he is not as efficient.

D'lo may not be as efficient as Kyrie Irving, but he's much more efficient than Lonzo fucking Ball. He's also a better playmaker by the numbers. So essentially you're saying a defensive roleplayer that is historically bad on offense is the player you need on a title contender over a player scoring 20ppg on league average efficiency and excelling as a playmaker, moreso than the guy you're touting as an elite playmaker despite the numbers saying otherwise.

Zion to Lakers confirmed?

maybe this is your first year watching basketball, but Kyrie didn't become efficient until he started playing with Lebron and it damn sure wasn't what you would call "winning basketball". His year before Lebron is very similar to dlo this season

D'Lo's teams have a lower ceiling though. And for Laker fans the ceiling is championships.

In the present and near future they will have LeBron on their team.

IT2 literally plays the same position as Billups did. And he would have to occasionally guard Kobr/LeBron on switches like Rondo did.

If say Kawhi or AD comes I rather have Lonzo on that team than D'Lo. That's really what it comes down to because that's the most realistic path to winning rings.

Your Lakers took on "the show". They hired magic who doesnt even have enough business etiquette to speak with someone face to face before going public and then bring on lebron. which led to the AD drama. Sure, the Lakers are selling tickets, but leBald is on the downward slope of his career and only interested in his brand and retirement from the league.

You're right, the Nets are a very old team. Caris Levert, D'angelo Russell, Jarrett Allen, Spencer Dinwiddie, RHJ, Kurocs, none of these players will improve. Adding cap space and a draft pick to this team will not improve them in any respect. Whereas the Lakers, now that's a team. Yeah none of their young players have actually shown the ability to contribute meaningfully to winning basketball when Lebron went out, but because they're the Lakers things will magically work themseles out and result in a championship! Just like how you guys are making the WCF this year.
>in the present and near future they will have Lebron on their team

He's more efficient, but he's still not a better player overall.

Yes, you do need defensive role players to win the title. You forgot about Rick Fox, Robert Horry, MWP, etc.

D'lo does not pass the eye nor statistical test compared to Kyrie. He's more like Dion Waiters.

Magic is worth 800 million. I'd take his business advice over that of some jealous wageslave Memeiorfaggot anyday

>MWP
>defensive role player
You understand he's averaged upwards of 20ppg before in his career correct? Robert Horry is most famous for being able to convert big time shots in the clutch, and Rick Fox is way better (again) by the numbers at offense, offensive efficiency, and defense than Lonzo Ball.
You need good players to win an NBA title, Lonzo is a bust.

lakers can salvage this team by trading lebron and zion for young talent. i wouldn't sign any FA except klay. luke can stay but lonzo has to go

if they can't cut ties, lebitch will go down as the only player to destroy 3 franchises. how can MJ ever recover?

Can you guys believe that Luke Walton, the dude who was on the hot seat for the Lakers for the past 5 months, has managed to outlast Magic?

I don't know why you think a team's cieling is defined by a singular player.
>Lonzo v D'lo
Is not an argument, D'lo is the better scorer and playmaker. Lonzo the better defender, however the gap between them offensively is outstanding and defensively is actually within a few points.
Lebron James led teams need players that can hit wide open jump shots, and Lonzo can't even do that.

Poppovich and Boris Diaw

Thank you cp3

that no call lol

Isn't he like 31? It's only like six years away

Good on the NBA for hiring intellectually challenged individuals as refs.

MWP was a defensive role player on the Lakers yes.

Horry was famous because of his crunch time shooting but his ability to play off the ball and slow down PFs like Duncan/CWebb in the playoffs was just as important.

I still think the jury is out on Lonzo being a "bust". It sometimes takes time for players to learn how to play PG in the league. Chauncey Billups was considered a bust in year 5 or 6 and he's probably a HoFer.

He's getting paid 40 million per season lmao

this dirk tribute had me in tears, as a kid who grew up in dallas his career lined up directly with my childhood while the mavs title happened when i was at the end of high school. i feel like the last holdover from my childhood is finally gone.

trae > luca doncic

>scorer
Maybe
>playmaker
Don't agree.

The only thing D'lo brings more is shooting and spacing. On everything else like defense, playmaking, etc. Lonzo has the advantage

Stop throwing it away

Dirk is much better than that nigger Wade

what in the fuck did vince mean by this

Mavs are pathetic for pushing Dirk out the door

Watch the racism bud, /nba/ is a family friendly thread.

OHHHHNONONONONONO

Go OKC fuck you James Harden.

>don't agree
Saying it's not so doesn't make it so. D'angelo Russell has a 40% AST rating and averages 7apg, Lonzo (without Lebron on his team) had a 29% AST rating on an equivalent assist per game while actually playing more minutes than D'lo.
So that would just be your emotional attatchment to Lonzo rather than based on anything tangible. Lonzo's defensive rating this year, 109. D'lo's 110. D'lo leads Lonzo in DWS, Lonzo leads D'lo in DBPM.

Again the gap between the two on defense is marginal but Lonzo is so much worse than him at everything offensive to where a more apt comparison would be between Lonzo and Frank Ntilikina, who is the far better defender thus perhaps the better selection for a title team?

Adams would get so much more respect if he didn't have to bail out Westbrook so often

Wilt > Curry

you dumbass

>tfw lebron will be the 1st every player-coach-team president

if anyone can juggle all three roles it's lelegend, Lakers are on track to being a powerhouse again

dam Harden is a smooth operator with those fouls

My Pisties play defense faggot, have always been able to lock up any team in the league.

curry will pass him for top warrior scorer next season and has more rings

wilt played against a bunch of srcubs, if curry was around wilt's era he'd average 70 ppg you fucking dumbass you kiss your dog with that mouth?

They reach he'll teach

KD's burner account was right, you can't win with the bums the Thunder have in the roster

Wilt went 1-2 in the Finals (against the Knicks) with Gail Goodrich, Jerry West, and Elgin Baylor on his team. At least Curry's stacked teams are considered unbeatable

Magic Johnson has AIDs, doesn't he? I don't mean HIV.

what needs to happen for the pistons to get the 7th seed?

>Capela and Schroder have the same yellow patch of hair

wtf are they related?

>pisties

lol lemme guess lakers-warriors-pistons fan?

Dude literally holds dudes down the court. Faggot is more touchy than my uncle

If you are a James Harden fan you might be a fag

I thought the reason why he was doing so bad in the later quarters is that he's playing while hurt

My first thought when all this "let's keep luke" I love luke shit, but damn did magic bail in the most embarrassing way whar was he thinking?

>pg slipping
OMEN

based Slippy P

He slipped

Schroder got his patch from his mom she's a hairdresser...

Capella is just a copycat

All the Thunder's scrubs get way better when they leave though. You're telling me Westbrook can't get out the first round with Oladipo and Sabonis? Maybe they'd have looked better on OKC if they got to touch the ball

pj tucker is dirty

Getting fired would be more embarrassing but not being able to tell your boss you're going to quit is pretty close

chill friend we might miss, but MJ will force Silver to gift us the hometown Zion sweepstakes and everything will be okay

>giving harden free points

tl;dr version: Magic didn't want to fire Luke because it would have fucked up his friendship with Jeanie Buss who considers Luke a son. Magic knows the team will continue being a joke as long as Luke is the coach so he's saving his reputation by leaving.

your mom is dirty but i still hit that

Oh shit

Oladipo needed another off-season of work. And sabonis hit the wall early on his jumpshot. Shouldn't be a stretch big and should have had way more opportunities in the PNR in OKC.

fucking pathetic faggot rockets. fuck you faggot rockets

Damn Jeanie looks good for 57, wonder if she's ever had a nigger inside her. I know she was dating that powdery old fuck Phil Jackson

Curry wouldn’t last a season in an era with handchecking and much more physical play... when they played real defense... and no 3pt line...

He would average 15 a game on bad efficiency and then retire at 23 after someone stomps on his ankles after a close out

>Jeanie Buss who considers Luke a son

I don't think Jeanie buss is that old or Luke is that yung....

lol they did it somehow...now just don't blow these 1.9 seconds

PLAYOFF
P

now for the real play

>luke is the problem meme
literally false, you can spew about him being trash or whatever if you want, but the fact of the matter is that lebron has literally killed every coach he has ever come across except spoelstra, who he at least attempted to kill. Your star player is a coach killer who wants to install a figure head. Luke is a legit good coach but he has literally nothing to work with and now he has a piece of shit like LeGM trying to undermine him on top of it. I'm sure you'll do much better with ty lue though man good luck and god speed

Lol at zoomers romanticizing basketball they never watched. Curry would die on the court right away due to handchecking, but Mark Price (170lbs 6') was one of the best point guards in the league?

>Gets triple double on go ahead 3 with 1.8 seconds left

D'Lo also has better teammates on the Nets without LeBron.

I'm sure we could debate this all day but I just think I rather have Lonzo if Kawhi/AD/Kyrie etc come over soon. I'm sure you have your reasons for preferring D'Lo too and you're not alone

I don't watch the Knicks but I do like Ntilikina. I don't know if he'd be necessarily better as I don't watch them enough to know but sure, he'd also be a good selection for a title team.

It's a swedish thing

They're acting like they won the playoff series

fucking dogshit team about to get swept in the first round by okc. pathetic. way to close it out dumb faggot losers. i'll give them 1 game in that 1st round series. then straight up cut piss paul in the offseason.

Frank Ntilikina is not an NBA player and it's humiliating to suggest otherwise. He regularly touts out 0pt 0ast 0rb exhibitions and is a complete nonfactor when he isn't guarding anybody. It's hilarious you have this hard on for defense only players in an era in which teams need all 5 players to be able to space the floor.
>D'lo also has better teammates on the Nets without Lebron
Well I imagine D'lo would have an easy time setting Lebron up to score given he's better at scoring than any other player on either roster, but according to you having a top 5 player in all history on the roster inhibits a player's ability. Comical the Lakers have had all their draft picks for years and the excuse is Lonzo just doesn't have the talent on the roster to be able to pass as effectively as D'angelo Russell on a Nets roster that mortgaged their franchise for five years. These players were not perceived to be much until they overachieved this season, and now that they have they're considered to be too skilled for D'angelo setting them up to be of his own doing.
>I want multiple All NBA players to come over soon
I'm sure you do

What team would trade worthwhile picks for a 36 year old injured Lebron and his max contract?

The team that traded up to draft Markelle Fultz over Jayson Tatum might

someone post the fans in maimi? pic pls
