Since this is a Lakers general, and I need some catchin' up to do. Let me start by looking at some contracts and who's on the market this summer.
We're losing everyone except:
The King, Deng, Ball, Ingram, Wagner, Kuzma , Hart, and based Bonga.
Looking at the top 10 free agents (we're getting at least 2)
We're getting as said Sugar K and Klay, we're going to have to make the contracts work. Sorry but it's been in the works for years. The memes can keep the snake or ship him off to NYC with Fagryie.
Sorry to break it to you but we're according to modern science and statistics and analytics, the lakers are 100% going to win the title next season. Literally going to have 2 of the top 5 sf's in the game today, and possibly one of the top #3 SG's.
I mean if you didn't get on the wagon when lebron came, you should start getting on the wagon now. NEXT SEASON IS OUR YEAR.
Dominic Scott

Warriors-Clippers going to 6 is huge news for the Rockets who get an extra couple of days to rest and game plan (plus the extra game may goose NBA’s shitty playoff TV ratings a bit)

Carson Bailey
what did you expect? Westbrook couldn't do it with PG and whoever the fuck else they had, patience young Jedi, you'll be rooting for us soon enough. Looking at the fucking playoff brackets how the hell did the spurs make it once again? we're going to have to put a stop to that, you done next season spudoras, and we're cutting off all this nuggets/cloppers hype too.

Kek. L3-6ron is no GOAT. I watched how the NBA praised him instead of letting him prove his worth. The NBA adapted to Lebrons style of play instead of Lebron adapting to the league's style of play.
As a former coach, it has always killed me to watch lebron use his off arm and shove his way to the hoop. Fundamentals teach you to guard the ball, but as soon as you raise the arm towards a defender.. It's a charge. While his fans, along with the NBA were so impressed with his physique they failed to realize that basketball was a game of skill. Just because lebron is bigger than your average guard it does not mean he can run him over. Power is designed for the power forward who uses his strength in the post. Had the NBA forced lebron to drive the right way, he would either become finesse or develop a mid range game..which are his weaknesses.
People love to mention "if you take lebron off this team"... Notice how Lebrons team run the lebron system.. Of course if u take him off the team they will suck. If lebron played in a system where it maximizes each players talent they can win without him.. (spurs, GS, Boston)..
Isn’t it so sad to compare him to Jordan and watch him lose. Is it not tiring to say he has no help? He's had 15 season to build chemistry with his own Pippen.. Or maybe he's not the player your mind wanted him to be. A few players will pass greats in added/ over time numbers. What counts are season by season: how many titles, how many scoring, rebounds, assist titles do you have? Let's not omit DEFENSE!!.. DPOY, defensive first team, hoe much spark!? and lastly, how do you protect the ball... Turnovers... Don't let the media persuade you..

it can and it will. All we need is for Toronto to stick to the plan and keep kawhii healthy. Reminder that we lent them kawhii (old alliance) for a shot at the title, not our fault if they miss their shot. Now, once we get him and desu we don't need a center, I didn't see the entire season i skipped it but from what i saw from the early games and some stats, Javale Mcgee is a competent center who can play well under the right guidance. I saw the Luke Walton sex accusations, we need him to shape tf up or to gtfo, we are going for our title run next season and we don't need those kind of distractions.
but yeah once we acquire Kawhii, we just need to assess who stays and what veterans we sign in the off-season, we are in desperate need of shooters.

lebron is already considered a goat, finals record wont matter if he gets 5 as some people already have him higher on their goat list that kobe, so if he gets 5 he's only be compared to kobe all day and jordan will still be the goat.

It's funny, transferring him to the west and seeing him fail to even make the fucking playoffs just shows you how cushy he's had it in the eastern conference where there's almost literally no competition for the top team. Meanwhile, 6-time champion GSW just got completely fucked on their home court by the 8th seed in the west.

Gasol proved he’s still got that DPOY in him when he absolutely manhandled Vucevic this past series. Ibaka is better than Mirotic and he comes off the bench. FVV is the best backup point guard in the league and it’s not even close. You just named a bunch of starters, who do the Bucks even have coming off the bench?
Jerry chang is pure garbage though, I’ll give you that.

This is not how basketball works.
Benjamin Hughes
Harden needs to start taking a few more mid-range jumpers rather than settling for floaters when defenses have taken away the step-back and they've packed the paint.
He doesn't have to take a ton, just enough to keep defenses honest, and he'd probably get 50% on open mid-range 2s anyway.
Benjamin Foster
It was nothing to do with Melo. He was the biggest piece in the CP3 trade, plus the Rockets are very tight on cap room.

Christian Reyes
Absolutely exposed, clippers responded after every run the warriors made last night and the warriors just gave up
Reminder they were only down 7 with 1:30 to go which is nothing for a high scoring team like the warriors and they literally stopped playing, gave up wide open layups and didn't even attempt to foul to extend the game. You just know Kerr is seething at the lack of effort but he's too cucked to call his team out

>As a point of clarification on the hand check rule there’s a lot of disinformation available in various forums which debate the subject. The hand check rule that players are referencing when they speak of “today’s rules” is the rule as it was amended prior to the 2004-05 season.
>While part of that was just a matter of clarifying the rule, the major part of it was its emphasis to officials. There was technically a hand-check foul in 1994-95, but it wasn’t the same type of foul or called with the same frequency.

Hey that's the point when scoring and offensive production took a freefall from the Jordan era. Wow. Almost as if it was easier to score in the 80s and 90s, and this recent uptick in 3 point shooting is just a counter to the defensive changes made in the wake of such rule changes

He was. Hespecially was an important moving parts to get cp3. But morey was also trying to make more room to get melo that same year so likely adsed morethan he needed to in the deal to get cp3. it just turned out that knicks weren't willing to move melo for whatever the rockets had left that season and melo was then traded to the thunder. But I'm sure Harrell and bev were going out the door for cp3 no matter what.

jesus christ you spout some stupid shit, do you even look up statistics or just pull them from your fantasy land?
Offensive production went UP at that point and didn't take a "Free Fall" as you say.
Here's the numbers by the years and if this your first time looking at a statistical sheet let me know and I can highlight it for you.

yes, that would be good for both of them. Simmons' ability to drive in and draw defenders as well as his passing and vision would get Mitchell a bunch of good looks

Just for that, you're getting the call.
Jackson Rodriguez
yeah. You don't have to like him, and sure he's not a DPOY candidate (although his defense is seriously underrated), but I think he is the player who contributed the most to a team's success this year. Giannis is close, but Harden's scoring ability and efficiency are on another level
Lincoln Sanders

They’ll have to put Jimmy on him. Harris and Reddick are crap defenders, and Green has been shooting almost 45% from 3 since the all star break.

Thomas Myers
Hot take: half the problem with Westbrook is that how he changed his game to play alongside Paul George, which has made him an outright worse player.
At times, he seemed fixated on deferring to PG13 when he should have been driving to the basket and being aggressive, which made him reliant on his simply awful jump-shooting. He's trying too hard to be a good teammate rather than an affective and efficient one.
Westbrick undoubtedly need to work on his shot but he also needs to start playing towards his strengths.
It's gonna be interesting to see Westbrick over the next few years, as he really needs to change how it plays - he needs to become a better shooter and make better decisions as he ages, otherwise he's going to become very bad very fast. Westbrook will be 31 this year, which is the same age as Iverson when he left the Sixers.
James Rivera

Okay, I see you guys are Celtics and Lillard fans, and i do apologize If you were offended by the content of the S.P.A.R.K. Rating system or the /spARKys TOP 10 PLAYER RANKINGS section, however, you may feel better knowing that the overall sp. player and team ratings have been know to be rather volatile, and have been known to shift thousands of points on a game-to-game basis. Check back tomorrow and maybe your favorite player will be making a spark!
I also feel the need to remind you that you are in no way obligated to read or view these posts. /spARKY news update as well as /spARKY’s overall sp. rating stat tracking are free services provided by S.P.A.R.K.S. to the benefit of the community. News and stats are based on the most up-to-date information and all predictions or inferences are meticulously run through the Candybread Elite7 engine before publishing.
You’re welcome to use other rating systems if you’d like but a word of advice, I’d stay away from P.O.R.K.I.E.S. or any rating system still running on the outdated LarryLOAF Pro2.5 engine. It’s just not reliable data at this point.
Also, please keep in mind that S.P.A.R.K.S. rating system accurately takes ALL factors into consideration. Lillard’s past accomplishments and the Celtic’s ability to sweep in the first round are very noteworthy, and your favorite little stats are just great to hear about kid, but taking a step back and going from the micro to the macro we can see individual players for their true inner spark, showing the true nature of each players/teams spark-to-flame transformion. We need to leave our biases out of this and trust the systems algorithms.
Christopher Martin
I don’t really trust PLOPS because I’m not reallly familiar with it’s algorithms or it’s rating engine’s calibration settings. I do trust S.P.A.R.K.S. though because I know it runs on a custom built Candybread Elite7 rating engine which factors into consideration the tracking and impact estimates of team/player injuries, the physical and possible mental ramifications of past events, trades, press, and other player transactions, head-to-head results, margin of victory over similar opponents, and rated quality of opponent, as well as integration of predictions based on 100,000 run simulations forecasting the rest of the season, consistently updated after each game.
My advice to you: I would just ditch the whole LarryLoaf Pro3.4 trash system and just start getting acclimated to the sparky new age. Sparky has taken care of all your rating needs, so why worry!?

Duncan’s philosophy was Pop’s philosophy which is the Spur’s philosophy - Selflessness, ego-death, work together to accomplish something greater than the individual self. This is a great insight that is lacking in, not just the NBA, but society in general today. Capitalism makes greedy self absorbed asswipes of us all - the system is built that way. Tim Duncan, Pop, and the Spurs proved time and again that Capitalism is a weak shitty way to organize players (people) and a Teams (society). Unfortunately, many are unable to break free from their selfish, biased tendencies. life is infinitely more beautiful and enjoyable when we are showing unconditional love and appreciation for each other, however, the capitalistic way of mind places priority on self preservation at all costs (ego) rather than on the pursuit of empathy, understanding and wisdom - the great one-ness that is everything gives ZERO fucks about your credit score or bank account balance! For most, a strong shift in perspective, a psychedelic journey of some sort, will help to reframe reality and bring us all closer to that which we come from. For many who have been brainwashed into being selfish sparkless, assholes by capitalistic entities, psychedelics offer a solution at last to your suffering. Get out of the LeBeta state of mind, and spark into the Duncan state of mind... and do it on a trip :)
TLDR; If you ever find yourself acting like that insecure self-absorbered beta bitch LeBron, but you would rather act like that beloved good guy Duncan, you should probably try some LSD, psilocybin, or DMT.

Daily reminder that Wilt was, and still is, by all accounts, the greatest Athlete to ever live:
>"When I coached the San Francisco Warriors, I thought Al Attles was the fastest guy on our team--by far. We used to gamble a lot--which player could jump the highest and run the fastest. So I set up a series of races, baseline to baseline. In the finals, it was Wilt and Al Attles and Wilt just blew past him. I'm convinced that Wilt Chamberlain is one of the greatest all-around athletes the world has ever seen."
--Alex Hannum, Tall Tales (by Terry Pluto) p. 327
I took the liberty of running some advanced analytics on Wilt and his superior athleticism. I wanted to know what Wilt would predictably play like with today’s modern competition, health standards, exercise tech and training regiments.. So I ran all of these factors through the Candybread Elite7 rating engine. The results were absolutely shocking! The most recent system data logs show Today’s NBA players would be completely outmatched, and totally devestated by the sheer power and INNER strength of the great Wilt Chamberlain. Apparently Wilt has something special, something sparky that modern day NBA players lack, and that modern NBA fans have never witnessed.

Sorry to say, but your opinion of the legendary Great Wilt Chamberlain doesn’t really match up with our rating engine’s results.. it may very well be that you’re running your ratings model using an outdated version of the stats/testimonials filtering module. For a more viable reference point, please access the “Wilt-Is-A-Goddamned-Legend-Just-Look-At-The-Testimonies.spk” file. Once your system management profile has prompted you to confirm the updated load order, simply select “YES”, and then select “SPARK” on the next screen, and proceed to re-run your results. I think then you’ll see that the results show: Wilt would be an even more dominant force in today’s league given his solid reputation as an unstoppable force. Today’s NBA culture fosters players with overall weak mentality, compared to Wilt the competition he faced.
I’m sorry, user, but your opinion has been shown to be mostly based on personal bias and has been disregarded by our system’s default disposal tasking process. Thank you.

>I cleaned someone else’s lakeshits of a public toilet seat at a public gas station restroom today. I used Lebron from the Lakeshits and made sure the Dubs would be shitting on a relatively decent opponent in the finals.
Anyone else shit on the lakeshits today, not bc it benefits you personally in any materialistic way, but purely because shitting in the lakeshits is the secret to happiness itself?
Leo Sanders
>there are "people" genuinely rooting for a team that is not our raptor
Josiah Peterson

You think lakeshits guy will make another thread early at 493 again, just so he can shill his jank ass LeLakers on the OP? Kek! What a desperate fag
Nicholas Butler
>the 14-15 raptors that got swept by the wizkids are beating the west's top seeds

Zone defense was illegal you tard and it was an early 80s rule.
There's nothing illegal about doubling or leaving your man.
Landon Roberts
"Elimination game" doesn't mean as much when you're already down 3-0 to the Cavs
Michael Thompson
They all hate each other at this point. Kerr can’t fucking stand Draymond or KD, KD hates everyone, Curry checked out, Klay checked out, and Draymond always played with way too much emotion.
There’s a reason why it’s rare for teams to actually win three-straight and a lot has to do with team chemistry. Yeah, you’re playing together for longer than others, but you get sick of the same people.
Zachary Anderson
Lmfaooo ratings would tank and based Stern would be begged to come back as commissioner to save us.
Aaron Gonzalez
>needing clutch shots vs scrub teams in the east
