the coach has no credibility after this season but there's no one on the market

the president is gone and no one wants to step into the dumpster fire

Their fate was sealed when Kobe sacrificed his achilles for the team. It's been downhill since

Lakers have always been an essential part of the NBA.

NBA would unironically become a much better league if the Memeiors fucked off to Chinese Basketball Association or Euroleague. Not sure either one would want them though desu

I'm not a GM or have Aids, but I say their best bet is trying to get a huge free agent this summer. Then you try as hard as you can and trade all the young players for AD. Then try and build around that.

>Luke Walton was told by Magic Johnson to "shut the f--- up" when he tried to interject during their October 30th meeting, according to a source.
dayumm magic really hates white bois huh

Luke Walton is a dumbass have u ever heard him speak?

Don't respond to Memeiorniggers. They're obviously scared the Lakers will become good again and they'll suck again like it's always been in the past so they'll spread some lying kike bullshit to try and muddy the waters.

But, the Lakers will be fine in the long run whether they like it or not. They always win in the end and they always will win in the end.

Curry and Thompson combine for 595 3-pointers this season, leading the league for most 3-pointers by two teammates by one (Harden and Gordon: 594)
Klay Thompson had three 3-pointers tonight, putting the Warriors backcourt duo at 595 out of 1,409 attempts (42.2%). James Harden and Eric Gordon combined for 594 on 1,628 attempts (36.5%).

Kek. Harden and Gordon are literally the discount splash bros.

..and personally I’ve never quite seen the spark in Harden. There’s just something sparkless about how he gets his points. His three’s, although occasionally impressive, always are led up to by a long, drawn out, hunched over dribble wasting away 20 sec of the shot clock so he can then proceed to either chuck a 3 and fall down, or drive in while flailing all of his limbs like a seizure victim, diving to the floor as soon as a defender is within 5 feet of him. And I fail to see any spark at all in his signature move of wrapping his lanky body around his defenders and flopping about, needlessly, throwing his head back feinting anguish and searching for reprimands in the form of free-throws from the refs. it pains me to even see him on the /spARKY top 10 list at all tbqh..

Michelangelo is a party dude.

Dunks the basketball and doesn't afraid of anything.

>a playoff game is supposed to be something special to Memeiorniggers

You're a dumb fucking brainwashed zoomer that obviously didn't watch the game. The referees literally took a valid three for the Rockets off the board for a phantom offensive foul, did not call obvious fouls on 3-4 other three point attempts, and allowed Apemond to flagrantly foul Eric Gordon driving to the basket with no call, among others.

That's a huge point swing in a close game.

why is this team so fucking shit year after year after year

No defense even with Nurkic, now non existent

Will have to pull off consistent unreal offensive games from an injured CJ, Dame, and some 3rd person who we have no idea game to game, is it Seth Curry? Rodney Hood? Aminu? Mystery

CJ and Dame have already shown it takes good perimeter D to completely throw them off their games "Holiday and Rondo destroyed them in the playoffs last year) and force them to be playmakers, with their shit teammates unable to shoot shots that aren't in rhythm and wide open

You need a 20 year vet to show you it's a triathlon and not a biathlon

The so-called "greatest team of all time" Memeiors went 3-5 against CP3 last year and needed him to get injured in the playoffs (not to mention the massive refball) to win that series.

What a disgustingly fraudulent team

What about Kanter against OKC?

>cp3 out
Is it supposed to be some kind of worthy accomplishment for the Memeiors then?
Frauds can't win anything without the other team's best players getting injured and/or refball.

It's not a "few" specific plays. It's literally a 15-20 point swing (double the margin of victory) in a close game.

Kanter is very good offensive rebounder and post scorer, one of the best at quick dives as a roll man, but outside of that horrible. No ability to guard smaller players, step out, or shot block even standing near the rim and never stepping out for high screens

He'll get you 20/10 as a starter but give up 30 and foul 3-4 times, maybe turn it over 2-3 times for a total close to 40 points in 38 minutes

You seem to be letting your emotional biases get in the way of your judgment. Why don’t you just refer to what the most recent Candybread Elite7 system data logs tell us about how The Dubs own you and your shit ass Rockets? Just trust the algorithms user.

No, Winning the chip was the accomplishment. It’s why the game is played, to win. The “Memeiors” win. They’ve won back-to-back actually, AND 3 of the past 4. and they’re heavily favors to win 4 of 5.

Imagine believing this after missing the postseason the most times in the entire history of your franchise coinciding with new ownership and two incompetent front office regimes. “We’re the Lakers” isn’t a viable strategy, your reputation is at the point free agents are avoiding your team because they’ve been told it’s a shit show. Jerry West and Dr. Buss made that team what it was for so many years, neither of those guys are associated with the organization in any capacity.

Former players do make good front office guys, when they tenure at that job, learning it and becoming good at it

Magic has 0 front office experience, was a failed head coach for a small time, and only has "experience" as a part owner of the Sparks and Dodgers, which is completely different than day to day office job and mostly just a business investment

This is the fatal flaw, not hiring former players,

context matters more. For example Jerry West, even back to when he was a player, was always considered to be a basketball savant. He used to always talk about schemes and the future of basketball even way back in the 60s. Before he became the gm he put in years of work behind the scenes. The guy genuinely loves basketball and constantly thinks about it. Any random player isn't going to have that and many struggle separating their mentality as a player from the managerial side. He is the goat executive for a reason.

Propelled Portland to the 3 seed

Oh you poor Rockucks. Letting Westbrook and PG do you so dirty that you plummet down to 4th while the memeiors laugh their way to an easy playoffrun.

I’m sure harden will still win that MVP award for flopping his way out of the bottom of the regular season but you saw that 4th quarter? That’s our old friend, playoff Harden showing up early and he brought drinks

Pacers are not trash and will win their home games
I see Nets getting hot 1 game and nicking one at least, maybe 6 is too much. I also don't trust Fraudelphia though

Philly has looked really bad these last few weeks and Embiid might miss a few games. They also struggle with high scoring guards. It's probably one of the more interesting series in the 1st round

OKShit lucked out by facing Blazies in 1st round.

Nuggets being underrated desu, WCF lock for me

Who are the worst playoff teams in each conference?

Rockets and Pistons

objectively true

based

pistons and thunder due to inconsistency. In terms of just talent it's pistons and clippers but the clippers are greater than the sum of their parts

Rockets for West

I wanted to say Magic for East, but honestly, they've been really good since the ASB and have a good offense, still will get raped by the Raptors

Pistons by default since Blake is injured.

Calling the Pistons inconsistent because their best player is injured is retarded
Thunder same but really it was just a slump plus best player injured but finished 5 game win streak

Rockets are clearly the worst. No defense, bottom 5 rebounding, not top 5 in offense, jack up a bunch of 3s that when you miss them allow the other team to start fastbreaks, clearly worse than last year, slow end to season

Really you just know Rockets will choke. At least I can see Clippers pulling an upset on any other team but the Warriors because they're such an oddly constructed team.

Pistons are 1 Middleton type 3pt sniper away from being a good team

The pistons were inconsistent before blake got hurt retard and for good reason. That roster is shit. If blake and drum aren't going off then they completely suck dick. Blake has also always been unreliable as fuck when his team really needs him.

Harden is a flopping fraud but he still dancing on a lot of teams and CP3 is rock soliid as long as he's healthy

Spurs and Pacers

man i don't like this nugget matchup for the spurs. spurs are trash on the road anyway, and they always look fucking awful up in the rockies.

You know what i'll get some coffee right now desu

Adam Silver has to be a reptilian humanoid right?

He's jewish what do you think?

Jonathan Isaac gonna shut Siakim down

Checks out. He literally doesn't behave like a normal human

Literally no one has been able to shut down Siakam, he’s broken his career-high 7 times this season and dropped 44 in a single game. He gonna be an all star next year.

Any player with arms can lock down Siakam

Delusional

Blake sonned him

+1.8 points per 100 possessions
Nope. Good try though. He's going to do very little.

I'm gonna come back when the raptors lose, so not the first round but the semis

Rebounds/Assists/Points/FG% for Siakam during all 3 games against the Pisstains:

1st 7/2/17/66%
2nd 9/5/21/50%
3rd 3/3/12/46%

He literally had one bad game against him

Magic in 6

I'll get drunk tonight and after that I'll take some time just to flex on John Wall

Raptors will have no answer to reformed fultz

We have Jodie Meeks. He’s hopped out on enough roids to kill a normal man

The raptor won’t get past my Pistons stalwart defense

Im only gonna warn you once lakers Stay away from sam presti he doesnt want to talk to you go away.

I like him, really cute boy

Reminder Lebron isn't in the playoffs, so this is an actual playoffs at least until the finals then you can watch something else

Sam is shit so he’d be perfect for the Lakers

You now remember DeAndre Ayton
You now remember he was the #1 pick

Hes skill set is ancient
He would be a beast in the 90s tho

So now that the boogey banana man Lebron is gone, if any of the top 4 eastern conference teams loses before the Finals, they no longer have the usual excuses. All of them have all stars, 2 of them have champions who are still in their primes and 1 of them has the best record in the league.

That said, Who has the most to lose?

You now remember he’s having one of the most efficient NBA rookie seasons in league history without a point guard on his team and will make the all rookie first team.

You now remember he wasn't worth a #1 overall pick and Suns could've drafted Luka and Young

The Raptors, Kawhi will leave short of winning a title and it’s unlikely they get past the second round. A rebuild with several veterans nobody wants under multi year contracts spells mediocrity for Canada’s worst historic NBA franchise.

GS and OKC should have drafted Tyreke Evans over Curry and Harden as well.

After the Vancouver grizzlies that is

Vancouver was better

The Vancouver grizzlies were dogshit and never made a playoff appearance nor finished over .500

Just like my raptor

I think Kawhi stays if the Raptors make the finals. He wants to be reassured he has a shot at winning though, but I’m sure he won’t be too disheartened if we can’t beat the unbeatable Warriors. If he leaves the rebuild won’t be too bad though, because all the big contracts come off the books in two years.

I would say Celtics have the most to lose. Like the Raptors, short of a finals berth, their superstar is gone. They will still be saddled with Haybones’ awful, awful contract though and Tatum has severely underachieved, Horford is showing his age and Baynes straight up sucks.

The raptors shouldn't bother making the playoffs desu so that they can get purged and relocated

Holy shit I just remembered this. Why would anyone pick a big man over a versatile guard in this era of basketball?!

Thunder suck dick

This is like drafting Oden over KD though

Greg Oden was injured his rookie year, averaged half as many points and fewer rebounds than Ayton and was less efficient doing so with somehow greater usage.

Imagine drafting a center in today's NBA #1 overall and he can't shoot 3s like KAT

Imagine not drafting Luka just because he didn't go to an American college yet dominated a pro league

Imagine not drafting Trae just because his dad wasn't feeding him HGH since elementary school but had all the skills of Nash mixed with Curry

oden right now is probably twice the defender that ayton is
and center is defense first position
congrats your team drafted enes kanter #1

You're one daft cunt. Centers aren't worth being #1 overall anymore unless they have AD and KAT tier offensive skills

Dirk is actually fucking retiring fuck

Attached: 1nu1mt.jpg (400x388, 38K)

Bagley isn't terrible tho... I think we're going to look at the 2018 draft as the new 2003 draft

but yeah drafting Ayton is like drafting Darko over Lebron

>League Insiders Have Speculated Lakers Only Team That Could Get Bob Myers From Warriors

Oh look, media peddling more click bait for delusional Lakeshit fans to take as gospel

Towns couldn't shoot the 3 when he first came into the league

Bagley is a better version of Bosh but his defense still suspect, 3 year window to turn it around

Ah yes, this guy who is on a team that can still win championships if Durant leaves will definitely want to quit his job to join a team that’s a complete mess and only has 1 summer to put together a championship team
What a joke

now they can sign stars like rudy gay and batum

Ayton should've been 3rd overall imo

>why did they take the mobile big that dominates the paint over a chucker that you can find any year and a white harden clone

really? The suns fuck up a lot but Ayton is not part of it

Attached: 1554002944742.jpg (250x250, 44K)

JJJ is better than him too

Ayton leads both rookie Oden and Kanter in DWS and DBPM, he plays on a much worse team than either did their rookie year. It’s unlikely he never improves on that end.
He was the consensus number one pick coming into the draft, so somebody values the skill set of a mobile big man that scores on .600% TS as a rookie.

So what "stars" can the lakers sign? maybe ricky rubio

He has no outside game
Of course his ts% gonna be huge when all he does is dunks and or paint shots
He is like Rudy gobert with no defense

Guards usually don't get drafted #1, retard. Pay attention.

my blazer are my raptor of the west and will promptly make a first round exit

Kyrie and Beal in trade should be #1 priority

is white Harden clone supposed to be a negative?

Yes
Raf baiting won't carry you that far in the playoffs

So jeremy lin and jaylen brown

>dws & dbpm
>aka rebound rate in disguise
>ayton must be great defensively

it is if you want to win championships, but truthfully you can't put all of harden's shortcomings on Luka so I guess it's more of a compliment right now. Still doesn't mean that he'll be better than Ayton

Not really when Mavs should have a better roster than Harden next year

Adults are talking about the playoffs, spic boy. Go whine on twitter about your lakeshits

>he has no outside game
He shoots .30% of his shots from outside of 10ft. You mean he doesn’t shoot the meme
>of course his TS% is gonna be huge
Clint Capela rookie TS% .409
Giannis rookie TS% .519
Adams (who shot less than .043% of his shots from outside 10 ft) rookie TS% .541
Gobert rookie TS% .507

We could go on, but I don’t think you watch the players you comment on.

I was making fun of the fact that lakerfags talk about signing big name stars then sign literal whos. also suck my balls

Enes Kanter is an elite rebounder so should have great numbers by your logic.

Ya missing out my man

No one watches the suns user

Jimmy Butler and Kemba

Me neither, but logic suggest rookie NBA players aren’t usually all they’re ever going to be in the NBA, especially not now that they’re only 19-20 year olds. Ayton has been really solid and is a lock for all rookie 1st team, he has areas of his game that he must improve but has a versatile skill set on offense and is having one of the most efficient rookie seasons despite the fact the Suns employ second round picks at point guard. He’ll be fine at absolute worst, there’s nothing to suggest he’s a bust objectively, just you guys rushing to be right about something just like with Trae (but at least there was data there).

I want Beverley to intentionally injure faggot Stephanie

we all do but the nba won't allowed that. It's not in the script.

sooo Luke Walton and Jeanie are fucking right? Because I would totally smash her tbqh

Calling it now, Lakers give Butler a max contract because they cant sign anyone else.

>Lebron and Butler in the locker room
Ohhhhhh NO NO NO NO

Definitely, Magic said he quit because he “did not want to come between the two.”

Would be interesting seeing who’s narrative ESPN chooses to push when the locker room inevitably combust and both divas start going to the media, they seem to love both.

Brooklyn in 7

Hire a real GM and president, white guys with resumes not former black players or sleazy agents with no credibility with players or front offices.

Have Jeanie formally announce she's going to take a step back in the front office decisions and spend more time with family, rooting for the executives she's put in place to bring the Lakers a championship.

Fire Luke, put in a veteran coach who can develop players and staff including a shooting coach this time.

Trade Lonzo and Ingram for bad contracts/whatever assets you can get back.

Trade Lebron back to the Cavs for their expirings/whatever assets you can get back.

Tank while taking on bad contracts for additional draft picks, reclamation projects and G leaguers. Find your Robert Covington's, Danny Green's, Hassan Whiteside's when you have nothing to lose by trotting out Knicks tier line ups. Run the offense through Kyle Kuzma, see if someone bites on his counting stats when his contract is expiring.

Draft a generational player, add free agents to the core, win a title.

That's it, just don't rush the process.

nice try fag

Why are you comparing rookie Ayton to 6th year Giannis to diminish Ayton? This just makes it look like you're reaching for reasons to say he's not an impactful or good player. Do you want to compare rookie Giannis to rookie Ayton? Of course not because not only is Ayton the better player at that point in their careers but it would suggest players can improve over time, now it's unlikely Ayton ever improves at the rate Giannis has but if he did shieeet.
>Ayton doesn't score as much as first option Luka while being literally 4th in FGA behind Booker, Warren and Oubre so he's a bust
>Ayton plays the same position as GS's weakest position so he's a bust
I know, you know, these are horrible arguments. Luka leads his team in FGA and shoots three times as many free throws as Deandre but is only averaging 5 more points per game than him? Obviously only a complete idiot would utilize PPG as a mectric to determine a player's total impact, but even if you are a complete idiot (and you are) Luka is not nearly as efficient a scorer as Deandre and is not compiling a significant average despite shooting frequently (and poorly) from three point range, shooting more free throws at a significantly lower percentage than Ayton (a big man), and leading his team in shot attempts.

The second portio of your argument is tantamount to saying Karl Anthony Towns and Nikola Jokic are bust because Golden State hasnt employed a center as talented as them during any of their runs. The Suns aren't replicating Golden State anytime soon and that has nothing to do with Ayton and everything to do with their ownership and front office.

>Clippers at less than 1% for semis
What a complete nonsense bullshit chart. Yes the Clippers will almost certainly lose to the Warriors, but the odds of them pushing through are DEFINITELY better than 1%. There is no motherfucking way in hell you can tell me with a straight face that after 100 7 game matchups the Clippers would only win once, especially if you imagine a scenario where all of their starters and rookies show up bigtime in the Playoffs. What about injuries, about calls going one way or the other? It just doesnt reflect reality. Fuck these dumb metrics. Reminds me of the bullshit polls before 2016

Vlade recovered his reputation pretty well these last few years, probably had the best return for an all star player who was flipped over the last few years getting a young useful player and two additional first round picks in total from the trade (one of which they used to get Barnes). If they were in the East they'd have likely won 45 and have been a lock for the playoffs, I genuinely didn't expect them to win more than 25 this season and it's good they won 39 given they don't have their pick this year and all but denied Boston a very good lottery pick.

The Thunder had a 3.1% chance to beat the Rockets with 9:26 left.
Last night, the Nuggets had a 1.7% chance to win with 3:48 left & the Blazers had a 0.5% chance to win with 13:24 left.
The probability of all 3 of those things happening is .0003%

Allen isn't some random fart though, he was underrated in the draft and should have been a top 10 pick. He is a good scorer and super athletic. He has a 41 inch vertical.
Will be in the league a long time and average 15+ppg eventually so long as his ankles hold up.

Golden State ain't got the big black dick energy to threepeat. Only real niggers like Shaq and Pippen can threepeat. Ain't no snake ass, slenderman nigga Durant gonna threepeat

joerger was 100% in the right.

the raptors fired the COTY last season. that's just what the league has become.

He isn't even the MIP on his team.

smart is an elite defender and a fucking tanking tank unlike your random bench warmer. When he's not being a low iq chucker he's one of the most valuable players on the team

so never

They vastly outperformed expectations is what happened.

Grayson is good, they hiding him until they re-ink his contract. What team again, Jazz?

I’m actually going to be upset. Giannis didn’t blow games and was doing his thing for 82 games to put his team in 1dt in the league. This bum starts going into playoff mode BY THE 4TH QUATER OF THE FINAL GAME OF THE SEASON.

He's a late first round pick, they have him for three more years for cheap.

Wouldn't be the first time a team purposely buried a young prospect to keep him a secret and drive down his resign value.

I've seen the athleticism, he can shoot too though right? I might want to target him in dynasty...

I see you guys have your excuses lined up for when Celtics take that exit in 2nd round or worse, go round 7 to the pacers before getting bounced

>w-we lost because we didn’t have m-marcus retard
>n-nevermind that we had Kyrie and Hayward, m-marcus dumb is the soul of our team!
absolutely fucking pathetic

Wilt Chamberlain sucks ass

dude i'm a sixers fan but even i know that dumb is the only redeeming factor of celtics defense

anybody who actually watches basketball knows that smart is top 3-4 in importance on the celtics. I bet you think kyrie is their most valuable player too you fucking casual

Wilt Chamberlain in today's game would be Javale McGee.

Reminder that Javale McGee has two rings.

Wilt Chamberlain wouldn't make a roster in today's game.

Reminder that /nba/ predicted Celties would be out of the playoffs in the first round last two seasons and were wrong

>look this up
>its fucking real
Holy shit my sides

Are you saying Kyrie isn’t top 3-4 importance for the Celtics? Hayward is at least top 6. So they could make it to the ECF and take it to 7 without those guys but if they get bounced in the first round it’s because they don’t have Smart? What a pathetic excuse, nobody is buying it except braindead bostonians.

The Celtics were bad long before the trade deadline. Hell, they started the goddamn season 5-5. There was never a period during the season where they weren’t clearly the worst of the “good” teams in the East

can i give you a hint as to why the celtics aren't as good this year? it starts with a K.

Well it worked for the Sixers.
Warriors drafted Curry, Klay and Dray.
Kings narrowly missed the playoffs

Denver is now a playoff team and they never even had good picks.

Are you aware of the general passage of time?

How the fuck does a professional athlete and multimillionaire get nutrient deficiency? What a mong.

LeBron is crashing and burning

Sixers are still enormous frauds though (second biggest frauds in the league after Denver, according to P.L.O.P.’s lonzoYeast2 rating engine’s algorithms) so I wouldn’t say tanking has really made them a contender

Why do the Kings fire coaches as soon as their team seems to be turning a corner? Things take a while to settle in.

His wife is a retarded vegan and made him quit eating red meat. The article didn't specify what the defiency was, but I suspect iron, zinc or other micronutrients you get from red meat since your muscles and heart require those to function properly. He has some sort of heart palpitations and fatigue.

the toronto raptor is fraudulent though

>heart palpitations and fatigue
definitely iron then, he needs his flintstones

Are you seriously asking this? Why is anyone asking this? You think the Kings missed the playoffs 14 years in a row while being well-run?

Im scared bros, will TRoss have his revenge?

Another year another win for Larry

What makes it true is self evident - the Sixers are totally unable to beat good teams that are healthy and the few wins they mustered together against good teams are not at all convincing - they’re frauds!

>the Sixers are totally unable
this is all your really needed to type

I’m expecting an easy sweep for my warriors. I hope okc wins their series.

Ben simmons is a problem and not in a good way
They should trade his ass

>win against a good team
>mmm i'm not convinced
way to totally avoid objectivity you leaf faggot. i can say i'm not convinced by any other team in the league's wins and argue circles around you about how all teams are fraudulent.

Cavs, Spurs and Heat aren't big market teams.

And the biggest market teams are the Knicks/Nets, Lakers/Clippers, Bulls, Sixers and Mavericks so yeah.

Yea probably. Still they can stick together for another couple years, maybe other teams get hurt and they steal one. If not, then they can go chip-chasing and hate basketball.

So what? Rotations trim down and teams actually run plays. Regular literally does not matter
