LeBron James missed the playoffs for the first time in 14 years. Two days after the season ends, LeBron finds out he will be partnered by the best teammate he's ever had and, really, the ideal sidekick #thisleague

don't imagine they won't, sixers cap isn't hurt if they give him the max and he's certainly earned it
>they don't like us spamming the general and being obnoxious Yea Forumstards

In one of the more recent interviews (after the postseason ended for the 76ers) he claimed "he'll get a max anywhere", so I doubt he'll take a pay cut
Doubt someone like Butler would be that desperate to take a MLE

>Jordan the GOAT today's cats play no defense. Lebron? Jordan had no help this nigga would get smoked by hand checks and if he didn't have stars bailing him out.
Apparently he wants out of Houston and would prefer LA. Nothing confirmed yet of course.
thedreamshake.com
>LeBron met with Kawhi in vegas
never doubted LeGM
You gonna be saying this in 2024?
>What's going through Magic's mind right now?
AIDS infected blood
yes, Damon Jones will be the one to announce Kawhi to the Lakers, but only if you tune into ESPN!
are you people seriously this dumb?
"Michael just remember when you played they changed all the rules to make it easier for you to dominate. When I played they changed all the rules to make it harder for me"
Kemba going to the Lakers will instantly be a bad move for his career.
You have certain NBA players like Giannis and Kyrie who want to lead their OWN franchise to the finals. That alone speaks volumes for how great a player is. That's one of the reason we put Lebron over KD. If you're considered a GOAT you can do it on your own without running around finding other super stars.
Players like Kawhi, LebronL, Kobe, and Jordan are the best examples of this. No matter where they go they'd make their teams finals contenders.
Kemba needs to stay away from LA and help the Hornets build around him.
>35-year-old lebron gets injured next season and is never the same again

>may want out
Absolutely no chance Kemba going to LA will be bad for his career. The average American sports fan hasnt even heard of Kemba Walker. That will change literally the second his trade to the Lakers gets announced.
i think pels won the trade la
this is going to be what tears the lakers apart. You thought shaq vs. kobe was bad? Imagine Woke-Kawhi vs. Shill-lebron after they win 3 championships together
Fuck off ringlet
wasn't like we developed him or signed him, he got traded here against his wishes and gave us a ring
I think NBA fans in general will be pissed if Kawhi joins the Lakers though, though not as much as KD joining the Warriors because the Warriors had already won and KD hadn't.
>3 first round exits
Kemba/AD/Lebron would literally be the top 3 selling jerseys if he goes to LA
Don't hate us if we get kawhii, we've waited for our turn. Except for Sacramento, they can hate us lol, they're never going to win ahahahah.
no they didnt. people have been saying for months about how shitty the young lakers players are but now that they have been traded everyone is saying how the lakers gave away too much lol

>Chasing superstars is part of the Lakers DNA. Add in the pressure of maximizing this window with LeBron, & this was an automatic reflex. Plus, the Lakers still have up to $32.5 million in cap space this summer. Adding Davis is probably the best pitch they can make to free agents.
WE GOT THAT 32.5 MILLY
lakers the new knicks
>h..he needs more help!!!
lakers now have zero depth and pels have a gorillion assets to give to other teams for cool shit
i don't particularly believe lonzo and ingram are that good, but they definitely have some value, and there are plenty of shit teams that will probably eat them up if the pels want to deal
also the p i c k s
>Has never averaged more than 12 points a game
>averages 10ppg against 6'5 white guys in your path
Woah that would absolutely scare the shit out of me
Based trips means there is still hope, plus the Lakers are Lebron's victory lap anyways. He's top 3 all time and I doubt he plays as hard as when he was gunning for rings on the Cavs and Heat. Adding AD and even Kawhi won't save the Lakers. The fucking Kings will be better than them next season.
>picks are irrelevant
i can't wait till february when lakersfags are posting 'just what the fuck happened to my shit team' again
Lakers lost the trade worse than the Nets Garnett deal
Wade won a title without Lebron. AD has won only 1 playoff series. AD isn't remotely close to Wade.
"The way I play my team wins"
in february we gonna be sitting at the top of the west and pelicans will be 12th or some shit competing with the likes of dallas and minnesota
My bulls will probably pair the 7th pick and a player to get him because they're retards who get off to the fans suffering.
>lakers now have zero depth
for now....for now user.....
pels gm should have asked for kuzma and all the 2nd round picks too
>Wade won a title without Lebron.
he was carried by shaw tho
Doesn't matter got ring
This is how I will feel if the Lions ever win an Owl
Kuzma sucks
>Raptors won championship
>Lakers got AD
if du bs i'm kms
kuzma is a top notch scorer, gtfo
still should have asked for him in the deal to flip later
Also you played against centers that were Jordan's height. Also, how many rings you got Wilt?...
Don't tell me you wanted the fucking 5 straight WCF finals in a ROW and 3 rings warriors to win
The superteam shit is boring
>laker haters still going at it
>muh picks

Cope.
This is LA, we build through free agency because we can actually attract stars. This ain't no Memphis Grizzlies or Portland Utah whitebread hick town. This is LA, where everything happens. We don't give a fuck about the draft or pick #30. Fuck outta here. We swing for the fences, chip or bust. We will get 3 stars + a solid starter in Kuzma and role player vets on the mle and min. Haters gonna lie and say we got fleeced or compare us to the Nets, whatever helps you sleep at night.
see
>lakers now have zero depth
your first time witnessing a lebron superteam being formed?
That shit was Eagles vs Patriots tier, and the finals were complete fucking garbage to watch

Should we kick them out bros?
>he didn't enjoy watching big dick Nick take down Brady

So is this where you Curry/KDfags get your self entitlement from?
don't be mean to our little brother. They're just a little slow. They'll make it eventually
I vote we sub out the Bulls and replace them with the Pelicans. I don't even know why the Bulls were with us in the first place. We both know Canada and LA run this general.
>enough cap room to sign one more max
>roster only consists of 5 (five) players otherwise
bravo rob
Kuzma is a top notch chucker.
Too bad AD will still most of his touches.
It's finally going to happen bros, the moment we'e been talking about for years.
Lakers vs Raptors in the finals....it's finally going to happen....
>implying Eagles vs Patriots wasn't kino
Not even remotely true.
kawhi would never leave my rapties
I dont think we need a 3rd team anymore. Like the Lakers doing the AD deal without a 3rd party. We don't need dead weight.
Lakers Raptors uprising is all we need.
>what are vet min.
>what is the MLE
i'm sick of discussing basketball with retards who have no idea how the cap works, or how that ring chasers usually go to top heavy teams to fill them out because they'll get guaranteed minutes and a chance at a ring. go play nba2k or basketballgm until you know the basics of how roster construction and salaries work.
>Laker fags jumping the gun as always
Like when you signed Lebron.
Like when you signed Nash and Howard.
Lebron and AD alone isn't a top 3 team in the west. Going to have to fill out that roster.
Wtf? The 60s was the best big man era. Did you know that barefoot wilt was 7 and 1/2. Meaning going by today's standards he would be listed as 7'3. It's crazy to think a "6'6" could be as dominate as a real 7 footer
I got fake people showing fake love to me
LA has no depth. My Portland Trail Blazers (the Western Conference runner ups, btw) will be the team to beat next year, not the Lakers meme. We beat Denver, we beat Westbrook and PG, we can beat anybody in the west not named GSW.
All the big FAs wanna join the Lakers now. Who do we let in lads?
>Lakers vs Raptors in the finals
no matter who wins we all win
>no depth
>no shooters
>two guys who will have 0 chemistry
I can't wait for Lakefags to kill themselves when they're eliminated by January.
The 90's was the best big man era. Try pulling up all the Hall of Fame centers from the 90's. The 60's were basically just Wilt and Bill.
for me it's Zydrunas Illgauskas
WOW.
It's not ONLY 3 draft picks, most of which are unprotected, it's ALSO two unprotected swaps.
Fuck your entire franchise over to make a 35 year old Lebron happy for a year. LOL
Also
>Shaquille O’Neal

Word around town is Kawhi is coming here and they're going to re-sign Rondo and McGee. So basically, we can start that threepeat up right now.

>Lakers have no depth!!!
you guys do know the offseason just started and the entire roster isn't final yet, right?

l m a o yall forget the heatles that quick
this team is gonna smoke fools
whats the consensus of lakers fans, they can't be sucking on lebrons balls right
There is less than zero chance Kawhi joins the Lakers
If Kemba thinks he can be the #1 guy on a contender he is delusional. That being said, what the Lakers really need to be doing is going after D'Lo (assuming Kyrie/Kawhi tier players are off the table). He's good enough for them to win now but young enough to be a building block for the post LeBron era. Lakers could probably land him for like $100M/4yrs which would leave them with some wiggle room to add depth.
great trade, we got the superstar piece we need to get us to contender status and have cap space for a 3rd guy. we kept kuzma, the best scorer of the young core. we can round the team out with role players. we came out on top and won big.
>dumpster fire of an organization

These general threads are moving faster today than at any point during the finals.
So it's not 0.
Based retard
They're making a run for 1-2 chips. If they win even one it'll be worth it
>I'm sorry, but did the lakers already lose? Oh that's right, offseason isn't even over yet
The retards here don't understand that the Lakers had to make a trade this year if they wanted a potential 3 max player team. They wouldn't have been able to do that if Davis came next year because his contract would have eaten up most of the cap.

But there's actual substance to the posts rather than just raw reactions to what we are seeing on our TVs. That's why I'm here, trying to soak up everyone's opinions and see what people think. Personally I feel like the Lakers went full retard but we will see.
Your 2027 NBA champion New Orleans Pelicans
You had your fun, you got 7 years of the Lakers being shit, but the jigs up and it's time for things to go back to normal.
Lebron isn't 27 years old now.
AD isn't as good as Wade.
The Buss family isn't as good as Pat Riley constructing a team.
The west is far stronger than the east was back then.
Any other free agent not named Kawhi isn't as good as Bosh was at that time.

Kemba's not going to carry a team any further than like CP3 or Lillard have. Kemba on a finals caliber team would be great for basketball, but him in LA wouldn't feel right. He's the only great NYC pg left on this planet.

Please tell me what the Lakers have done since DR. Buss died?...
They are the second worst team in terms of wins next to the Knicks. The fucking Sacramento kings have more wins than LA the past decade!
AD - Dwight Howard but way shittier in the playoffs
Lebron - Kobe without mamba mentality
CP3 - Steve Nash but a way bigger choker and more washed up
Hope everybody is ready to laugh at the lakespics some more

There is no predicting who's going to be good unless they're super obvious like lebron or like a kobe or jordan. We KNOW AD is good, there have been TONS of good players to come in the second round. There will be opportunities to steal some cheeky second rounders in the future.
LAKERS WON THE TRADE.

>If they win even one it'll be worth it
This is really the point that so many people fail to understand. Even one ring is hard to get. A randomly selected NBA team has a 1 in 30 chance of winning a title in any given season. A team which manages to win 4 rings over the next century is doing better than average. There are 11 teams that are still waiting on their first title and huge market teams like the Knicks that stay permacucked. If you've got a good shot to win one or two now, you just fucking take it. Planning around some distant future based on "young core" players that could bust at any moment and late first round picks is a meme. Win now and worry about 2025 when you get there.
Don’t care about AD stuff between Banjo and CTR, it’s been a good damn week.
>comes out of retirement

Lebron is 35 and didn't look so hot last year.
i don't give a fuck about smashbros anymore. smash 4 already had all the characters I wanted anyway, they keep adding more and more pointless characters to this bloated roster that I can't even pretend to care.

this post got me fucked up cuz....
old age/injuries
Lebron cannot carry a team by himself to a championship like Kawhi just did.
What if injury prone Davis gets gets injured? What if Lakers have no depth? What if lebron starts to age? What if the wolves when the title?
it was 3-1
Kawhi is the fifth best player on the team caztard

So the Lakers have a choice between Butler, Kyrie, Kemba and DLo.
fucking rain man looking for his next shot.
only the lakers would do a deal this early after season ends. theatrical fucks. god i hope everyone on that team gets a life altering injury if not a death, and city gets nuked to oblivion
The Clippers are ironically a better organization than the Lakers as of the past 8 years or so. I trust Jerry West a hell of a lot more than whoever is really running the Lakers. Also Doc is a vastly superior coach to fucking Frank Vogel.
>i hope everyone on that team gets a life altering injury if not a death
Most leaf post ever created
wait....so i missed the season....
OUR HEAD COACH IS FRANK FUCKING VOGEL?
Why do the lakeshits have to choose between Kemba and Butler? Don't they have enough cap to max 2 people? Not like they have a chance to get Kyrie or Kawhi.
This is John Wall's contract. Say something nice about it.
>17 years in the league
>could give the lakers their 17th ring
That’s uncanny
I'm starting to think most leafs are treacherous fucks like that niggerkike Drake
>implying you need a a whole dynasty to guarantee a chip even though raptors just won with 1 superstar and a bunch of fillers.
Chill out, AD and Lebron and 6 other role players will be enough to put them in contention already, not to mention they have a whole other max slot to build around these two.
>The Buss family isn't as good as Pat Riley constructing a team.
This is lebron's team anyway.
>The west is far stronger than the east was back then.
false but expected from brainlet.
Also all this
Is Dave east music any good?
The Rockets, Jazz, Blazers and Nuggets are better teams that the current Lakers. If the Clippers land Kawhi they will also be better than the Lakers.
>CP3 to the Lakers

Who tf is Nurkic? He can't compete with AD lmao. And your forwards...nigga your 3 and 4 wouldn't start on the fucking Suns.
Because I watched them lose games in increasingly hilarious and inept ways with LeBron last season. They often chose their games to show on international TV because they assumed it would be a great and interesting team. Instead it was pathetic.
By midseason they will all be gone, and begging the Lakers to trade for another superstar. This happens literally every year.
Is that or that pic really true? Idk what to believe anymore.
nurkic gives the team 15/10, with him in the lineup that's a huge upgrade. blazers will be better than the lakers next year, mark my words-.
>rockets
>le travel choke guy and 44mil old midget

gobert shouldn't even be all-nba, KAT carried his whole shit team averaging 25+ on a 45% 3 point shooting.

You mean dame "poor shot selection" lillard and CJ who can never close a damn game? They are going nowhere.
>Nuggets
good team.
>trade just happened, and already this level of ass-blast

going to be a loooong summer
feels good being at the top again
When and how the fuck did jimmy git gud?
Dame Lillard, the guy who beat OKC and Denver and went to the WCF? Going nowhere? Lol
BROS THEY CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
man the laker haters were out in full force when the AD trade fell through and now look at them. this level of cope
My Lakies getting Kemba too
>Just the beginning
HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
but but i thought the lakies lost the trade :(
laker haters so delusional they pretending #20-30 picks matter and fucking portland and utah can beat a team with lebron + ad
remember this?
i dont post in this shitty ass general but i gotta ask where my /homeatlast/ bros @? if you dont know hal then u a zoomer
>1968- Lakers trade for Wilt Chamberlain (after 9 seasons with Warrios/Sixers), win 1 title with him

>1996- Lakers sign Shaq (4 seasons with Orlando), win 3 titles with him

>2012- Lakers trade for Dwight Howard (8 seasons with Orlando), no titles
>2019- Lakers trade for Anthony Davis (7 seasons with New Orleans) ∞ titles
Lillard ironically is better than AD. He has at least gotten his team out of the first round.
ad swept the blazers in 2018 bruh
lillard still has gotten farther in the playoffs tho
Blazers and Nuggets are our best hope to beat LA.
Right here
>beat OKC
imagine putting that as an achievement. beat westbrick and a heavily injured PG? claps.
>Denver
went to game 7 against an inexperienced team with 1 star.
Be real. If rockets were on the other side of the brackets, blazers would have been swept or close to. Everyone knows OKC/denver/nuggets/spurs had an easy run to the WCF.
Are the Lakers the good guys or bad guys?
Who knew that the fate of two organizations (Knicks and Clippers) would be decided in a matter of one week?
People wank off over AD yet everybody should know the injury history and lack off being bale to even make the playoffs. Davis might be the most overrated player in the NBA.
Let's go down the line

We have the best SF and C in the west, we're officially THE team to beat.
Nigga they are gonna be 100x more cancerous than the goddamn 2016-2018 Warriors.
Lakers are always the bad guys, retard.
AD has made the playoffs twice in 7 years. He can't get his team into the damn playoffs. He is basically Kevin Love. A guy putting up great numbers for bad teams. But not good enough to actually carry a team to the playoffs.
They're not the good or bad guys. They're more like an actor in a slapstick comedy movie than a hero or villain.
who else l/a/kies here
trading role players for stars is what you have to do to win in this league
people said the kawhi trade and harden trade were overpays at the time, people said trading wiggins for kevin love was stupid, look at those now
you gotta make these big plays to win
my god... the most based post on Yea Forums right now.
Really fucking scared of the Pelicans guys. Like holy shit they are going to be so good and they are going to get better and better and better.
We just saw the next dynasty begin.
lmao
Have to spend big to win big baby, gotta spend big to win big.
If they can retain everyone and Ingram doesn't die they're a top 4 seed in like 4 years.
In 2 years the entire Pelicans roster will be lottery picks.
Lakers will collapse right alongside LeBron's health. Just watch. Promising start, a couple of losses that don't mean much and don't shake anyone's faith, then they will sink when he's out. When they lose him they're not just losing their best player, they're losing their coach.
would you smell Jennie Buss' farts?
Who are the Lakers 3rd, 4th, and 5th best players right now?
They need to play a run style all the time. They will be young enough to sustain that through the season. That will also keep Zion from getting fat
LeBron has at best 1 more good year left and the Lakers just sold their soul for the next 7 years LMAO
AD's injury problems is what will probably derail them. If LeBron gets injured again then they won't even make the playoffs.
>3rd: Kuzma
>4th: KCP
>5th: uh....Moritz Wagner?
Also Laker fans remember Kobe wasn't a high pick. He was #13.
soon. Just do the cp3 trade
Yeah and how many times did LeBron win a chip in the first year of making a super team?
based
>Lakies are the new Knicks
LMFAO the Lakers are gonna take the #1 spot from the Celtics when this new dynasty is done. Imagine being so assblasted that you compare a joke of an organization to a historic franchise. Can't wait for celshits to seethe hard after the 3peat.
what are they going to do with lonzo (no)ball
the fit with lonzo and zion makes no sense
I don't even give him one full season. He's the glue that's holding the whole thing together no matter how good or bad they are. Without him whatever team they assemble will be like the players with their powers sucked out in Space Jam.
If they trade for CP3 somehow then they're officially fucked.
>Lonzo
>Ingram
>Zion
thats a nice team
what is it with all sports fans thinking age won't impact their FAs? literally across the board, all sports, every offseason
ya thats not good im sorry ya the lakers are bad they are worse than before the trade yup and now they cant even get better through the draft for the remainder of lebrons career and no one likes playing with lebron so ya no free agents except the dumb ones
love this post for the ironic/meme value
lakers' young core was shittalked nonstop but now they're no longer lakers they're suddenly elite and the lakers got fleeced, etc.
it's the lakers a year ago except with zion instead of kuzma and more injured
>melo
>PG who can't shoot
>random late round draft picks
>fail KD prospect
like literally none of them have the potential to average over 20 ppg
Lakers can only sign like 1 other player with their cap space, keep dreaming you autistic tard.
Fuck you guys, the guys the Lakers just traded were stunted by LeBrons boomerball bullshit. Now on the Pelicans with Zion coming, they will become elite.
Lebron destroyed this team
>after the 3peat.
This is the Lakerfag delusion I've been missing for like 5 years or so.
lol this image
because even though lebron is old, he devleoped skills that didn't depend on athleticism. He has extremely high BBIQ, and has elite passing and vision. So lets say you're kawhii, you want easy buckets, or lets say you're a cheeky shooter, you want easy open shots from the perimeter. or lets say you're a meme dunker, you want to stack meme dunks. Lebron has many years left. Look at Vince carter and luol deng. Look at fucking Jared dudley.
free agency hasn't even started yet faggots
the bench and the 3rd max guy isn't even set up yet
Is zion overhyped?
>""""6'5""""
>overweight
>can't shoot 3s
>can't shoot 2s
>freakish athleticism being the worst combination with his weight
>can't shoot so have to get physical thus higher chances of getting injured
>decent handles
I see him as another blake griffin, which isn't bad in itself but not league changing. Lebron and all them all-time greats were not only good but were consistently healthy and I just don't see it with zion. He is very marketable tho.
C: AD
PF: Truzma
SF: Legod
SG: Bulter
PG: ???
Is anything beyond our reach anymore?
The Nets suck tho 1st round exit tier

the biggest loser of the offseason that has barely started

FUCK THE LAKERS WE HAVE MORE DEPTH AND A BETTER BACK COURT
>expecting anyone who isn't a boomer to want to play with LeBron
AND THERE WAS BOSTON LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
damn he's handsome with just a stache
I feel sorry for kids these days, their generation of anime is just ass.
Bro how can you even compare that bullshit my hero to yuyu hakusho
sounds like that round 2 exit team due to injury. I would rather see them acquire a bunch of role players with the rest of 33mil, either straight shooters or hungry vets who try hard and are physical, and maybe a solid 6th man like drose. And a backup center to rest AD because he will play 60 games that's it. This team would probably have the greatest chances of winning multiple championships in 3 years than
>overrated butler
>overrated kyrie
>overrated kemba
Shame he's mentally retarded and injury prone.
Tell me /nba/ why didn't Boston make a move??
how many more seasons must we suffer...
ingram will be elite screencap this
too much waifu b8 schoolgirl shit for virgins instead of cool shit
last digit is how many
>trusting jayson "who" tatum
The Wolves will win the title if they play the Thunder for all their games
please stay away from our dad, lakers, he's all we have
Because they're smart enough not too. Hopefully.
jayson tatum will be a top 5 superstar i s-swear
you know what they say. Black dads always leave their sons. He's ours now.
Young cunts getting into anime need to watch old anime instead of airing garbage.
>youtube.com/watch?v=T2TBz2phCgY
Oh what could've been
Lonzo is still a bum and Ingram might die on the court
no no no get the fuck away from him he already told us he'd take less than the max and stay happily.
Prediction: Lakers get the 9th seed
Yeah once he's done with his rookie contract and leaves for the Lakers.
Being perfectly honest. The only person Im sad seeing go is Ingram, but he has blood clots, it will always be team first. I mean I was on the lonzo bandwagon for awhile but he just never seemed serious to me, like there was no sense of urgency and the media circus, it was and would eventually become a worse problem.
We won the deal, but only if we put the right player around them.
these scrubs better prepare to get uplifted
wow he can dunk over college kids! greatest ever
I want to fuck Ochako.
getting rid of Lonzo is good for both him and the Lakers
this, people are crazy if they think he's getting any open dunks in the pros. NO EASY BASKETS.
Next year Lebron suffers major injury and the Lakers struggle. AD enters free agency and leaves the Lakers. Lakers are fucked for years.
It's too early to say who won the deal. Unless the Lakers win the championship somehow, we have to see how the draft picks pan out 3 years into their career to tell.
lakers won't even make the playoffs
>/nba/ called young laker core shit and not worth trading for
>Lakers trade them and picks for AD
>majority of posts saying Lakers were dumb to trade them
Did Lonzo, Ingram and Hart turn great? I don't get it to be honest.
the trade just happened right? how did they do press conferences so fast?
LONZO COME BACK
COME BACK COME BACK COME BACK COME BA-
nvm stupid photoshops on youtube, fucking hate retarded ass youtubers making clickbait.
pelicans won the deal because AD was going to end up in LA in a year anyways so they got something for nothing, even if nothing is garbage (ball and ingram) or their draft picks don't pan out
It would've been reasonable to evaluate Ingram at this point since he's been in the league for 3 years and is easily the best player on the Pels' side of the deal as an 18ppg scorer on 49% shooting, but then blood clots happened. As for the other 2 they still suck but it's too early in their careers to make a judgment
Now look at Lonzo's injuries. Ingram also had several injuries and his current one is important
LMAO
I think he's a much, much better defender than Blake. And Blake is a really good player when he's healthy. I don't know exactly what Zion looks like in the NBA but he's a fucking freak with incredible BBIQ.
The question is how much longer Lebron goes. He's starting to decline.
Lonzo and Ingram are good role players even though they're not stars, and also the picks are the bigger deal imo
lebron went to los angeles to retire with good weather, not to play basketball. you will see lackluster effort out of him again this coming season. AD will get injured before the 30 game mark. Cap this.
When are we gonna stop acting like the cell saga was good?
if that were true he wouldn't be so actively trying to recruit players
Hoes mad [x24]
Because it was. My only problem is cell lost like a bitch. He'll probably be on of the strongest if he was resurrected in super.
now the lakers just need that 15 year vet to get them over the hump
I am not sure about BBIQ, he has been playing against kids so his decisions were always pretty straightforward.
>Blake is a really good player when he's healthy
I agree it is hard to say if zion will stay healthy.
Ingram is actually ridiculous. He put up monster numbers during the AD fiasco when all other young core were down. The blood clouts is a bad sign but I can see BI become an all-star soon.
He won't try now until it is the playoffs, and you can't blame him for that.
Trunks is a good character but everyone else was retarded, especially Vegeta
Only if embraces coming off the bench.
i want kawhi to take his talents to south ontario
lol
i don't think the pistons have cap room
Because Davis would have definitely left. He’s not sticking around for shit bags like Marcus smart and Kyrie wasn’t coming back. They would have traded everything for a guaranteed rental
Why didn't Trunks go further back in time though?
Tatum is the best offensive player on their roster and will probably be the centerpiece of the team for the near future (unless Boston signs someone big in FA). And Rich Paul made it pretty clear that he hates Boston.
he went to the right time, everybody was just being retarded and didn't want to stop the problem from happening
Cause everyone would've been on Namek and he really wanted to meet Goku
I could be totally wrong but I think he and bulma came to the conclusion if he went back any further he would possibly never be born or yamcha would be his dad
Can you faggots stop obsessing about the lakers. I mean for christ sake, the rapotrs just won the championship for the first time.
his dad was shot & killed...could be part of it
I had no problem with the buu saga, that shit was just too fucking long.
Gotenks, piccolo and buu were stuck in the timechamber for literally like 12 episodes family
imagine getting paid that much to go to work (or in his case, sit in a suit and watch his coworkers work)
i got into the wrong business, lads
The 2020 NBA Finals will be Lebron James' Los Angeles Lakers vs Kevin Love's Cleveland Cavaliers starting a new rivalry we havn't seen since Bird's Celtics vs Magic's Lakers.
So sick of laker talk. Just all year.
A better question would be is, why didn’t he just go back in time like 2yrs so he and gohan could tag eam the androids.
Bruh, gohan was handling them niggas with literally one arm.
They couldn't run with my Sacramento Kings
He was clearly in
Ingram + Zion is scary
Remember when everybody thought the Celtics fleeced the Nets, Sixers and Suns with those trades? Well, this is what they produced from it:
Marcus Smart, Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown........
Wow, what a great use of that war chest, Danny!
The reason why nobody wants to go to boston is because of Danny fucking retarded loser Ainge.
When he traded Isaiah Thomas, Paul Pierce, and Kevin Garnett it gave the Celtics a massive red flag, that even if you're beloved fan favorite, you could and probably will get traded.
Stick man and fat man? Don't think so.
How are the Cavs capped?
What's the difference between zion and randle?
lol i forgot about cleveland. Remember Jordan Clarkson?
he is not going back to LA sorry bud
Celtics were stupid to trade for Kyrie, he was never going to work in their system.
Need a cute anime girl to crush my pathetic 4 inch cock
one has a hot gf and the other just came out of college
62 million for Nance, Thompson, Clarkson, Knight and JR LOL
Then a fat 31 mill for Kevin Love.
Yo brehs there’s a wasp up in my apartment and he ain’t leaving.
Imma dip
- Lebron forced team to overpay mediocre talent to get them to stay because they were his buddies
- Cavs owner went full tank mode and is taking on bad contracts for picks
he would still exist, whatever happened in the timeline he came back to didnt change his own future.
That quote is fake news
OH NO NO NO NO
/nba/ seething
it's not about the cap you dumb idiot or muh stars and free agency attraction. everybody knows that
it IS about the bench. because if lelbron or AD gets hurt you will be assfucked in the playoffs
Most points by a rookie in the playoffs behind Kareem
For me, it's Bulter
Any team in the NBA would be fucked losing a star in the playoffs.
Lowry should retire and the Raps should replace him with Kyrie
worst timeline ever
Literally every single team in the NBA would be unable to contend in the playoffs they lost one of their top two players. Only peak Golden State could compete without one of their main stars and those days are over now.
of course but lebron is on the wrong side of 30 and had his first significant injury and has the most miles of anybody in the nba. the lakers are paying with fire if they blow their entire cap on big names and don't get role players/B-level guys instead
warriors almost beat toronto in g6 despite losing klay, that's because of their depth and coaching. LA does not have the later, if they sacrifice the former, they'll never make it to the conference finals and will be bounced by houston, portland or even gsw
By swishing buckets.
those androids were weaker.
Kyrie can't be the emotional leader Lowry is. There's a reason the Celts didn't make it pass the Bucks, but Raptors did.
so how soon do you guys see Lonzo Ball being out of the league?
my light
where was he this playoff? got exposed like all other rookies, averaged a single triple
The second and final big name FA for the lelkers will be a pg; one of D'Angelo Barksdale or Bemba Walker, right? Irving is locked for Brooklyn and so is Butler.
Raps should pursue Beal to replace Danny Green in the starting lineup. Guaranteed rings for the next 2-3 years.
>Golden State
>Team that was so retardedly stacked at its peak that it isn't even worth bringing up because of course any team would want to have a roster that deep if they possibly could
>houston, portland
>Two teams that would burst into flames if their star player had to sit out
washington doesnt want to trade him for some reason. probably fucked the owners wife
I wish Kyrie would stop being such a cunt and come to L.A., then MAYBE i'd like him and then together we can BOOTY BLAST THE FUCK OUT OF BOSTON for the next 3-4 years.
LeBron has never had this long of a break from basketball.
Who do the Raptors trade to get Beal?
Shit defense tho. The death of wing stop. A team's d is only as good as it's weakest link.
He is the most overhyped trash player in the league right now.
>no shooting form
>40% free throws
>can't finish at the rim
>single triple
>takes half of the reg session off every session on a sprained ankle
>"he has high BBIQ!!" like all point guards should
>"he has good court vision!!" like all point guards should
>"he is a true point guard!!" because he can't be a two guard
>"he is good in defense!!" like all trash shooters must be, hussle extra hard in defense to stay relevant
The only person keeping him relevant is unironically lavar hyping him up.
no kawhi = no ring
That's true. I guess that should be a good rest for his body and joints I'd assume.
if kawhi had gotten hurt the craptors would have been doomed too
it's almost like luck is a thing you need, and a high enough ceiling for that luck to matter
story?
>say it again chuck, triple single
if OG wasnt out all season then Kawhi wouldnt have needed to be there.
Remember LMA not giving us a meeting?
Remember Derozan saying "hell nah" when asked if he was coming to L.A. when he was at some amusement park?
Remember PG13 playing us, then going to OKC?
WHERE ARE THEY NOW? HUH.
are you retarded or from Cleveland? or both?
Is bojack horseman the greatest show ever created?
No but it was good for a few seasons
i take back the LMA statement, he did and we "fucked it up" twice BUT, he should have still signed. fuck you LMA

>Wanting a no-defense chucker as your PG
Can't forget "he is so good with transition offence!" because his half-court offence is mediocre at best
Didn't LMA give the Lakers a meeting and the team was stupid enough to try to sell him Hollywood instead of basketball reasons? That's on the team
The G-league
>>AD demands trade
He doesn't even need to demand a trade, since he'll be a free agent within a year anyway.
>so why does lebron get a free pass when it comes to building super teams?
Only Bronsexuals give him a pass, which is what you'll only find infecting these threads, since they moved with the 3-6 Mafia to LA with L3-6ron.
LeNoHelp man is cancer and KD was absolutely correct that it's toxic being around him, as AD will find out this season, when his made-of-glass ass find out the hard way.
You're so delusional it's like you have your eye wide shut
Kyrie is goin goin back back to cali cali
