10,000 tears, shitposting about free agents, and general bawwwwston shittery. I'm pretty happy, those smug cunts deserve every bit of ennui.

Asterisk title.

Asterisk "leaf".

It’s obvious Ainge doesn’t have any real plan, going after Kemba is pure cope. Celtics are allergic to the concept of doing a proper rebuild and would rather stew in mediocrity forever.

Kemba is unironically as good as Kyrie, the difference is KW isn't a cancerous faggot. Good luck NY, let's hope Kyrie doesn't destroy your team's chemistry.

Kemba + Gordon Hayward (he'll finally get back in shape to his All-NBA level) + Jayson Tatum (aka next Kobr) + Jaylen Brown (aka Kawhi 2.0) + Boggie Cousins sounds like a top team 2bh (to be honest).

Don’t forget they’re also losing Rozier and Morris if they do indeed sign Kemba. They have to renounce the rights to both in order to have enough cap space to offer a max.

What do you mean what did LeBron mean? Like 75% of NBA owners are Jewish, thats hardly some statistical oddity.

Kemba is unironically better in that team. Kyrie is only world class when he's with LeDad, otherwise he sucks dick.

lakies will win

this ship is sinking and there will be no survivors

(You)

I agree, however it still doesn’t get the Celtics over the Sixers, Bucks, or Raptors. Its a half-measure signing that locks the Celtics in to an eternal state of never reaching the top of the East.

cry more

LOL at delusional Lakeshit fans. They’re linked to nearly every free agent because the mainstream media wants muh big market teams.

If you look at all FA rumors, nowhere does it say that marquee free agent X prefers the Lakers or they are the front runners.

You see terms like Lakers are interested or are ‘in the mix’ which is a generic way of saying they want the player more than the player GAF about them.

The LOL’s will be that much better when they strike out completely in a few days and are stuck with Bron/AD/Kuz and a bunch of spare parts.

shouldve signed with honorable vivek

I hope Kemba is smart enough to negotiate a no-trade clause if he signs with the Celtics or Ainge will immediately flip the guy for assets after he signs.

Uhh so we're supposed to be scared of the big bad Celtics if they get Kemba? Remember when they got fucking Kyrie and how they thought that made them contenders? LMAO.

make the off-season shorter, stretch the 82 games out. NBA Finals should run into late july.

You should be scared about Kawhi leaving your shitty team lmao. A hundred more years of irrelevancy

So the lakers and celtics are both shit? good

Given this recent news about Kemba, I think it means Celtics will also probably trade for either Stevens or Capela.

holy shit you are SO mad LMAOO

Keep praying so Kawhi doesn't leave lmao

honestly i don't see the raptors repeating even if kawhi stays. also the warriors being fucking dead is a bigger story

We secured Ujiri and Gasol bros
We doin it!

>[MacMahon] Sources: Patrick Beverley is seeking a deal in the three-year, $40+ million range. Suitors include Mavs, Lakers, Bulls and Clippers. Agent Bill Duffy also represents Luka Doncic and is known to be intrigued by idea of pairing bulldog Beverley with the young playmaker.

Mavs should sign Beverly and Randle and call it a day.

They still lose Horford's outside shooting which a manlet like Kemba wouldve benefited from greatly if the opposing center was drawn outside leaving the the paint open. Adams would let them hang defensively against Janice and Embiid. If they get Adams theyre semifinals bound.

I never thought about DeMarcus Cousins as a replacement for Horford, but it could happen I guess. I didn't like how he looked during the finals against the Raptors, but maybe he'll be good.

so will Charlotte be relocated to Seattle/Vegas before or after 2021?

Imagine missing the playoffs with LeBron on your team

No way Cousins is gonna take another underpaid contract. Celtics can’t sign both Kemba and Cousins. It’s take basically all of their cap space just to sign Kemba.

He can't until he plays for a team for 4 years ( he can do so with Charlotte but that's it), so expect Ainge ships him off eventually if he signs for the Leltics

MY SIXIES. THEY'RE GOING TO SIGN JIMMY BUTLER AND TOBIAS HARRIS AND TERRENCE ROSS :)

Kemba's not as good but he's not as big a cancer, so maybe that's a win? Who the fuck knows. All I care about is watching Kyrie go to the Knicks and them be a laughingstock of failure.

imagine having a stacked team full of all stars and get buttfucked by the bucks

Nah, Kemba signing with Boston is horrible news for the Sixers. It likely means they’ll want to trade for Capela and will help expedite a Butler S&T to the Rockets.

I’m like 80% sure Butler is headed to the Rockets now.

Jimmy Cancer and CP3 on the same team = locker room explosions every week

Don’t worry, the lottery is rigged, and Silver will probably give the Hornets the #1 overall now as per the tradition of awarding it to teams that recently lost their franchise star.

Yeah and knowing the hornets they draft the next anthony Bennett.

>Sixers lose Butler
>Raptors lose Kahwi
>Bucks lose half of the group of Lopez, Mirotic, Middleton, and Brogdon

>Celtics sign Kemba and trade for Capela

All of a sudden nobody is laughing at the Celtics anymore.

Maybe the hornets should go after dlo to get younger

lel they can’t. Even if they lose Kemba they’re still over the cap.

Fuck

They have practically no cap space (only around $7M if Kemba and all those who could walk leave thanks to all those awful contracts to the likes of Batum and Biyombo) for D'lo, who will pretty much guaranteed to fetch 25% of the cap space

The entire Western conference would still be laughing.

Uh oh
Not sure how good a Lakeshit/Cockshit wcf would be. Cockshits wont have a decent center so AD will feast and Dantoni will respond with more chucking? Leave it to the choke artists emeritus to allow a zero-depth team like the lakeshits to reach the finals.

lmao. why were they even considered? even oddshark is shitposting on the lelkers

cuz they know laketards will bet that shit no matter what

No lakers fan you can't sign everyone, i know one of you is gonna post some edits and be wrong as always.

don’t buy that the Lakers are a legit contender yet with aging LeBron/AD + literally who. They need to put the rest of their cap space to good use in filling out the team before I rate them.

I do however buy the Rockets if they add Butler pretty much regardless of who’s at center, and the Nuggets are still good and getting better. Also watch out for the Jazz after adding Conley. Right at this moment I’d predict a Rockets/Nuggets WCF.

Silver gargling Lebron's balls is the x-factor for me. His GS darling is no more so it's only natural a Lebron will fill the western void, as le kang's swan song. Otherwise, pretty much agree with everything else you posted.

lakers gon get
patrick beverley
d angelo russell
trevor ariza
brook lopez
vince carter
a championship

Tbqh, even if the Sixers lose Butler, I still think they’re gonna be in good shape given what they could expect to receive in a S&T for him.

I imagine a trade between the Celtics/Rockets/Sixers would send Gordon, Tucker, and Smart to the sixies which is honestly a good team.

Pure fiction. Silver represents the owner’s interests not LeBron’s, and the owners don’t like the Rich Paul/LeBron fuckery. He isn’t gonna help LeBron.

The Bucks are the only gatekeeper in the east. Kembra makes the Celtics the second best team in the east easily.

Good riddance. That player is a cancer on the locker room. And they don't even need to get rid of morris because they currently have enough cap for a max contract.

>If Butler and the 76ers were open to the trade scenario -- and there has yet to be a formal indication the team or Butler are interested -- the Rockets would need to include two or three of those players in a deal to the Sixers or a third team to make the salaries match on a four-year, $140 million maximum contract for Butler.

If I got a penny for every time I heard this in the past 20 years, I would honestly have a pretty nice savings built up

Save yourself the heartbreak of thinking the Sixers are keeping Butler bruh. The dude has made it painfully obvious he wants to play in Houston, and the only actual obstacle standing in the Rockets way is whether they can actually made a S&T possible. With the Celtics now expected to sign Kemba and obviously interested in adding a center, that obstacle continues to erode further by the day.

The Sixers are losing Butler and basically all of their core, the Raptors are going to lose Kawhi, and that leaves the Bucks at number one with the Celtics at number 2.

>The dude has made it painfully obvious he wants to play in Houston

>and the only actual obstacle standing in the Rockets way is whether they can actually made a S&T possible
they have absolutely zero leverage which makes this obstacle seem like an impossibility.

Silver values the association's share of the collective revenue generated by all franchises. Some franchises earn more than others. Here's a mental shortcut: Which matchup would be the biggest draw?

[ ] Lebron v Kawhi III
[ ] Harden v Kawhi II
[ ] Harden v Gianniswho? (battle of the memechucks)
[ ] Jokic v Embiid
[ ] Gobert v Embiid

People are forgetting how solid Horford was for those Celtics teams. He always did plenty of small things to clean up for the team. His defensive IQ IS really good. It's like he knows where to be on the floor at all times. The Celtics may be happy they have a poor man's kyrie (who never won before), but they are also probably losing their best defensive big in Horford..

>The Lakers and Rockets have increased talks along with the Sixers to make a three way deal where Lakers receive Paul and Rockets get Butler. Sixers would receive picks, Aaron Gordon, and Pj Tucker.
Per Adrian Woj.

Just did a 360 at the park and the girls were going crazy. One gave me her phone number.

Can't forget that Horford also gave the Celtics better spacing than most of the other potential replacements since he can actually shoot the ball

>Aaron Gordon

I think you mean Eric Gordon since the other guy is in the Magic

this sounds a lot like nash and howard now. kinda scared fuck cp3

Don't they have that other guy (Robert Williams?) in the roster who had practically no minutes last season? And Tacko only signed on an Exhibit 10 contract so he could just be let go as easily

You forgot about the part where the Lakers gm gets hung up on with "Roaring laughter" being heard from afar.

so they don't lose him for anything. bill simmons will realize this when kyrie irving leaves and blames danny for not trading him when they had a chance

Who here /high/ and just getting /you/'s senpai?

just checked and yeah he's there, but he's not gonna be good to be honest. he's a third stringer and he's only 6'10

Nigger a rookie Black Boban isn't going to cut it in the playoffs, how new are you? Even the real Boban didnt get playing time when the game got real. Celshits will have to settle for a Javale Mcgee or likely, if Ainge doesnt get a stroke, Dedmon.

this, he'll get some return from the all in trades he did for jimmy and tobias

Simmons has turned into a gas bag and Russillo is the only good thing about the podcast nowadays.

Yeah but saying 'so they don't lose him' implies he expresses a desire to go to Houston. Even if he does want to go there, they can simply not sign him and use the cap space elsewhere.

>Kobe Bryant to take vet minimum and will begin workouts with Lebron and the Lakers next week.

Russillo makes the beta fans happy cause they wish they were him.

Why is Bill Simmons such a fucking moron? If Butler wants to leave, the Sixers best option at that point is to S&T him to Houston because they’ll actually get shit in return.

If they say “no”, what do you think Butler is gonna do? Say “alright then, you win, I guess I’ll just have to say in Philly then”? Lmao no, Butler will just sign with a team that has cap space like the Clippers or Mavs or something.

Newsflash sweetie, Sixers still won’t have cap space even if Butler leaves unless they relinquish the rights to Tobias Harris which would be mega retarded.

Imagine being so desperate for mediocre pussy that you make ultimatums about which one is less mediocre

They can sign a max FA then resign tobias/JJ. my sixies getting kawhi u mad?

and trading jimmy to houston doesn't exactly make the rockets world beaters either. i doubt they get out of the west

are you retarded?

No they can’t. Tobias still counts as a huge hold against the cap unless they completely give up his rights. Learn how NBA salaries work.

they have bird rights on Tobias you absolute troglodyte
they sign the free agent first and then Tobias

Kemba is not better than Kyrie but he is much more capable of playing off the ball and spacing the floor instead of doing iso shit. Plus Hayward will probably be better now that it's a year further away from the injury

They need Tatum to take a step forward and they need to figure out what to do at center, losing Horford is a way bigger blow than Kyrie. but it's totally possible that Boston is better next year.

Kyrie to Brooklyn done deal

I'm willing to bet that Beal will be fleeced before February

Is it time for the NBA to step in and look to see if Lebron is trying to circumvent the cap with Space Jam?

Rozier, Jaylen Brown, and a first for beal

Fultz

you don't think dirk and mark cuban were going around the cap when dirk took those pay cuts? it's why a lot of these players have their own LLC's

Package deal with the Suns, who apparently have a hard on for Rozier.

what do the Suns get out of this?

Maybe you could use all those pennies to buy a clue.

Yeah. We getting Dlo, Drose, Melo, Korver, Reddick, Lopez, and JR Smith. Shit gonna be lit bro.

This, a three team deal involving the Wizards and the Suns landing Boston, Beal while only having to give up Morris to the Wizards and Rozier to the Suns.

I doubt they were going around the cap at the time although it's entirely possible that there was an under-the-table understanding about stuff that would happen after Dirk retired (the same kind of thing that happened with AK47 taking a pay cut to play for Brooklyn and then becoming head of the Russian Basketball Federation after he retired)

but I am sure the NBA did due diligence to make sure of that, and they should do the same with Space Jam 2

FA isn't he?

Rozier. Who they have a hard on for.

Eh "not playing defense" is kind of a meme at this point. He definitely took some possessions off, but generally when he turned it on He played great defense. He's great at reading plays, getting in passing lanes, weakside helping, and defensive rebounding. But if you think he's going to take on a tough perimeter assignment then that's a big no

But the Pacers are better than both of those teams

Sixers shouldve traded Ben the moment he started dating a kardashian. Could we even get anything worthwhile for him now who knows

>losing our best 2 players is a good thing

Casuals I swear to god. Fta makes casuals so butthurt lmao. It's part of the game, bud. LeBron is 6'8" and is an elite finisher. He's gonna get fouled.

>not even interested enough to schedule meetings on separate days
Yeah he stay

He dumped the Kardashian though. What a chad.

AD prefers to play PF, but I don't why Embiid counts as one as well

If Ben stops dating a Kardashian, then maybe he'll mysteriously develop a servicable jumpshot and might eventually be able to shoot a 3

In all seriousness, why do Lakeshits fans always deny Shaq won the first 3 rings?

They literally have three players on their roster.

The young guys are shit. Kyrie already told you that and he's right. Even with Kyrie gone Al knew that Tatum and Hayward were the true cancers so he left too.

I think that's the point, I doubt Williams, Tacko Fall, or whoever they replace Horford with will be nearly as good as him due to the defense and spacing he provides

Robert Williams A.K.A. the Time Lord, will become defensive player of the year in 1/2 years once he starts getting consistent minutes.

Bill has always been a mega homer but running his own show has made him 10x worse.

Are the Lakers the greatest NBA franchise of all time? The 2nd most rings and evenly spread out throughout history. In contention to win a few other rings in the coming years as well. The only team with more rings are the Celtics who won 11 of their rings in the 50s and 60s and had 1 championship in 33 years. I'd say the Spurs are the 2nd best franchise in NBA history, but its not looking good for them in the near future, and it may take them another ~100-200 years to match the Lakers current titles amount.

Damn so ad Lebron and lakers are definitely going all in for rings now.

Who is the best player on the Philadelphia Seventy Sixers?

AD really paid LeBron $4m just to wear the #23

Yea, I have been hearing that it was Brogdon.
This.

They are going to be weaker if they lose either.

>Jr smith
>Rondo
>Kobe

The real reason is Kawhi is planning to sign a short term deal so he is conducting recon on the LA franchises and their short-term visions for their franchises to gauge which one is worthy when he hits free agency again. Plus Kawhi will sell what he learns to Masai who will then sell the intel to rival gms of west contenders.

Erryday my champs are hustling.

Notice how the Raptors just gave kawhi the ball to dribble around and create for himself. He wouldn't have to do that on the Lakers. Anthony Davis and LeBron attract so much attention because of their size and scoring ability.

Holy shit they let ad wear 23?

Yes, but will the Bucks really want to let Middleton walk though since they had difficulty in attracting free agents?

Middleton: Player Option
Mirotic: UFA
Lopez: UFA (No Bird Rights)
Hill: Only guaranteed for $1M if waived before June 30th
Brogdon: RFA

Lou Wil was on some podcast earlier talking about living in Canada as an NBA player. He said its a pain in the ass, nobody wants to raise their kids to be Canadian, you have Canadian TV, Canadian bank account, Canadian phone number, I imagine he and Kawhi probably talked about it too. If youre American you want to live in your own damn country not raise your kids in Canada, just like Im sure Canadians wouldnt want to live in the US.

The only reason I could see Kawhi staying would be the chance at another Championship since the Warriors are dead but he could do that with the Clippers too, they already proved themselves last year. There is literally nothing the Raptors organization can offer him that the Clippers cant, aside from the success that he near single handedly brought them and some extra money, but what does that extra money really add up to when youre in a place that isnt your actual home and your kids are there and you pay even more in taxes? If he stays its for one year maximum, but the chances of him leaving are still very real. Its somewhat telling when his fellow teammates talk about it the way they do.

Now im hearing grumblings about the Clippers trading Danilo Gallinari to Philly after his career year for Butler and pairing him with Kawhi.

Its all in Jerry West’s (PBUH) hands now.

I hope Lebron chooses a new number, do not destroy the legacy of Miami god number 6

Magic was a horrible executive and Bird was a great coach and executive? Neither of their legacies are really impacted by it either way, Lebron’s charitable contributions help his case now but once he’s MJ’s age he could build an entire children’s hospital and no one would care about. GOAT is determined on the court, neither Magic or Lebron are GOAT though. Imagine if Bird was a gifted a center with 5 MVPs as a rookie, or the Celtics gifted a number one overall selection for letting another team sign Gail Goodrich. Nope Bird still had a lottery team at 60 wins and ECF game 6 his rookie year, and that guy calls Jordan “God.”

LMAO who thinks the Lakers are winning ANYTHING with 4 players which will eventually turn into 4 players and a bunch of bums who'd make no other team.

I cannot wait for the seething next season as the Lakers don't amount to anything and either miss the playoffs or sneak in as the 8th seed and get BTFO by a better team.
Also, AD will get injured and be out for several months.

Kemba is unironically going to be much better for Tatum than Kyrie was. Kemba plays so much better off the ball, it will allow Tatum to progress more as an offensive weapon, which he wasn't really able to do last year because Kyrie needed the ball so much, and then there was Hayward.

Now, for the love of God, I hope he doesn't hang out with Kobe again this summer.

They're unironically Bottom 5 in the West. That depth they're going to have will be among the worst of all time.

How the fuck are they going to sign a THIRD max player, and then fill out the rest of the roster? As it is, they'd have three max players plus Kuzma. They wouldn't even have the money to put a fifth guy on the floor. If they actually do try to get a third superstar it will prove they've learned nothing.

>Klay
not next year, anyway. Kyle Korver or Reddick on vet min fills the same role while using WAY less cap space

So it really is, autodiscount because Lakers exceptionalism AHAHAHAHAHAHA THAT WAS THE REHASHED BRAINLET PLAN ALL ALONG THEY REALLY DONT SEND THEIR BEST SPICS TO POST HERE HUH

Not entirely sure how the cap works vis a vis trading -- could the Lakers sign a max free agent, then trade cash considerations for some vet min contracts?

Asterisk title and Kawhi gone.

I'll give you 1,3, and 4 so 3 for 9

What about Klay and Dame? You're not a real Lakers fan with this minimalist attitude! Space Jam team or bust!

All I'm saying is snitch wants a ring and taking a short-term paycut would be worth it. Look no further than KD's first contract with the warriors for proof of this

Didn't the last western champion just lose the finals because they had no depth? I remember it like it was days ago.

Thats literally how life works, learn from it. Youve got to know someone who knows someone who owns a business or has some sway somewhere that can get you something, granted you arent a retard. If youre a retard or fat, this becomes much harder. If youre ugly even moreso. People you dont know have to like your face if they are going to help you out, and if they dont like that then youd better be smart and quick with words. If youre not smart and youre ugly, well, youre fucked either way so hey nothing of value was lost. Hope that helps champ.

Lou has always been a real one. Based.

Speaking of Tatum, anyone seen some of the newest pictures of him? It almost looks like he's had a growth spurt, he suddenly looks noticeably bigger. Check the latest pic on his Instagram.

I think the bucks win it all next year. What do you think/nba/

Should be titled “Lou Williams recounting a recent conversation he had with Kawhi Leonard”

all i got to say is warriors in 9 just you wait

I'm not even sure any other team is willing to pay him $27m, but yeah he doesn't need to take a huge paycut to make them an instant favorite in the West. Tell me which WC teams beat the following:

Russell
Korver
Lebron
AD
Lopez

Bench:
Kuzma
Rondo
McGee
Caruso

Based. That podcast with him and Arenas is worth a listen.

Nice 5th seed on the east and first round gentlemen sweep forever.

Man, Bron really generous paying all dem niggas out of pocket. No way the hollyjew including a box office share clause for bit actors.

Space Jam 2 The REAL MVP. All potential Lakers gonna be in that movie and get a nice hollywood bonus

Why don't NBA players keep renewing their contracts? Like when there are 3 years left, why don't they make a new one for 5 years? Is this illegal or what?

oh, kara lawson is actually joining the celtics. i thought that was shopped.

Why would I shop it? Dumb german

Its fucking OVER

Bird had a great career after playing, Magic was retarded but only around for like 3 years and can put a big chunk of the blame on Pelinka & Jeanie (but he'll get some credit if DLo comes back and the LeLakers acutally make it to the WCF)

Jordan is responsible for
>drafting Michael Kidd-Gilchrist at #2 in 2012
>drafting Noah Vonleh at #9 in 2014
>traded Shabazz Napier for P.J. Hairston
>turning down FOUR 1st rounders only to take Frank Kaminsky at #9 in 2015 because he liked the guy so much
>traded his 2016 pick for Marco Bellineli
>overrode the team vote and took Malik Monk instead of the planned Donovan Mitchell in 2017
>GAVE NIC BATUM $120,000,000/5 YEARS
>traded Dwight Howard's contract for Timofey Mozgov's just so he wouldn't have to pay to wave D12 (which would have been cheaper and shorter term)
>re-took on Bismack Biyombo's contract for nothing
>let his franchise GOAT walk away without even offering the max
do you recognize even one of those names? No one else does. Batum/Zeller/Kidd-Gilchrist/Marvin Williams take up $85 million in cap space each year

no one pays attention because Charlotte has been irrelevant literally since 90's but all Jordan can do is draft busts, literal whos, overpay shit-tier old FA, and give jobs to all his friends

like no one gives a fucking shit about Charlotte and they'll be the worst, most irrelevant team in the entire league, but watching this shitshow in person and seeing retards complain about the Knicks/Suns/Lakers/Wizards/etc. is laughable. MJ the worst owner in the league and has been for nearly 10 years now

Bruh you didnt watch the east playoffs or the ecf. Lopez was their second most valuable player, he commands an 8 figure contract now, that's why he'll be available in the first place. Korver is a pylon on defense, the shittiest bench point guard in the league can beat him off the dribble, hell Lopez can beat him off the dribble. Come up with a real roster then we'll talk.

Uh bros you told me that Kawhi would definitely re-sign and there's no doubt that the clippers and lakers are memes what THE FUCK BROS why did you lie?

Who can even stop us

Korver tries though. He's a hustler. He dives for loose balls. He blocked Jaylen Brown 3 times in the eastern conference finals in 2018

google.com/amp/s/basketball.realgm.com/wiretap-amp/254493/Kawhi-Leonard-Will-Meet-With-Lakers-Clippers-On-June-30th

Oh fuck what does this mean? Is he actually meeting with the Clippers BEFORE officially meeting with the Raptors?

>goes to Carribean on a boat to get the fuck out of Canada
>comes to LA before returning to Canada from said boat trip

KAWHI AND BUTLER TO CLIPPERS

ITS FUCKING HAPPENING

He also mulled retirement after the Jazz season ended. Now the Jazz would sweep the Lakers if the playoffs started right now.

we above the law, we dont give a fuck bout yall

youtube.com/watch?v=IY7XvIJFzeU

Yea because he's depressed. His brother recently died

how many times did i tell you morons that it was PART OF THE ORIGINAL DEAL? how many times did i have to explain that rob pelinka had arranged the deal in a way that would allow my lakies' to sign a MAX?

and how many stupid "with what money" posts have we gotten in the last month? as usual woj, and the ESPN narrative, and a lot of lakies' haters right here in this thread end up getting absolutely historically humiliated once the fax come out. i couldn't feel happier right now
