/nba/ - Do you feel in charge?

Belief of Kawhi to Los Angeles Lakers is strong.

When I asked a league source this afternoon, how strong?

They replied: “Heavy.”

Source isn't locking it in yet, but calling it: “Likely.”

No matter how you cut it, it's about the same level of bullshit as KD going to the Warriors. Of course you won't hear near as much bitching from the media because it's the fucking Lakers; and oh my fucking god do the Lakers need to be god tier for the league to be worth watching.

Except Kawaii is a proven two-time Finals MVP and the guy he's going to is a guy that he beat not a guy that he just lost to.

Guys a league source just told me Kawhii is going to sign with San Antonio. Confidence is "very high" according to him.

How are players already deciding where they're signing 1 day before they're allowed to actually meet or contact with other teams in any way shape or form?

I thought tampering was against the rules?

i mean, 5/221 is a humongous sum of money, but i can see how kemba walker must have considered the initial offer as 5/171 as lowballing him a bit too hard, especially after the signaled he would be willing to give charlotte a discount. i'm sure they could have met at around 5/200. this was a KANGZ/KNISCK tier move by the hornets. and they're going into free agency capped out.

And a league source told me, with high confidence, that your father should have pulled out.

>Hornets are a middling franchise that just lost their best player ever

Basketballreference VORP is literally just another way of writing Box Score Plus Minus along with all the problems that entails (e.g. if you're the leader of a shitty bench, then you're going to look like shit, if you're a mediocre backup for a superstar then it's going to make you look worse, because teams without stars playing play worse etc)

Why? MJ made his ass relevant and all his wealth is owed to him

you should be watching miru tights my friend

they would pay 3m more in 19/20, then have wiggins entirely scrubbed from their books.

issue is no one ever wants to go to minnesota. they unironically have to build through drafts and trades
you could theoretically trade wiggins and a pick for someone good but it's not like clearing cap space via trades will do them much good

If d'angelo russell joins up with the t-wolves, where do they end up?

kek

Charlotte could be give Kaminsky a contract without going through the qualifying offer/restricted free agent shit.

well yeah that is entirely true. teams like them use the cap space to absorb contracts as a way to acquire more desirable assets.

don't forget they have gersson rosas now, he is generally considered to be very good at this whole GM thing.

This is what people have been saying we should be doing for the last half decade? Without Kemba we’re the worst team in the NBA, and tanking. Add a few lotto guys, trade for some veterans, sign a free agent once we’re contending.

Chill out, you act like Golden State wasn’t horrible for decades or the Bulls.

Charlotte has the record for worst win/loss record in NBA history

butthurt jordan had no right to give krause shit. let the man do his job. jordan shoulda kept his mouth shut and just play. he thought managing a team was so easy no look at him lololol

Is it still JUST if you personally are the one making all of the dogshit decisions?
Can't wait to watch my team be in the fucking cellar for 4-5 years, attendance slowly decline, get fucked repeatedly by the new draft odds, and then eventually have the team moved to another city again because MJ is a dogshit owner. Fuck him.

to be fair, Booker is a good scorer (sucks at everything else) and Ayton definitely has the potential to be one of the best bigs of his generation (if not the best). all their players are super young and still developing. if they add a solid passing PG so they actually have someone who can distribute the ball, they will be pretty good in a year or two (they might even fight for the 8th seed this year)

NBA players are retarded and actually only care about the 'city" the team is from. In Black culture or retardism as I call it, being from a city with a big name like New york or LA is more important than anything in life.

Let Malik Monk play PG/SG for 45 minutes a game and get 25+ FGA up, mood him into a young Lou Will offensively and just give up on the concept of defense this year as a team. Play Miles Bridges at power forward and on occasion center.

Play with a 10 second shot clock, lose every game and draft the GOAT. Bring Monk off the bench the next year.

Honest question, seeing as how this absolute collapse is the most attention Charlotte has ever received, will people even pay attention to their tanking season?

People mentioned the awful Knicks and Suns because those teams had relevant seasons or players at some time in their past. People kept up with the Cavs because of LeBron stans and the recent championship.

Charlotte has literally no one and nothing of note at any point in their existence, will they really be able to survive a hardcore tank?

Charlotte get a lot of top ten plays because they got nice dunkers at least

I’m a Marquette fan but grew up a Hornets fans. I’ve watched Malik Monk play since he was a YouTube All Pro, he is the most talented isolation scorer of his age group and has yet to have a single coach trust him. With the Hornets not being a destination for level three scorers and playmakers we know Monk is going to be one of the featured guards on the roster.

You think he hasn’t been developing his game in the last two years as a redshirt pro? I guess you’re not one of those people who think Ben Simmons wasn’t a real rookie baka

that would be so good cause KD not playing so we'd have time to develop knox

So did Kyrie just give up on winning another ship?

Why would he sign with the fucking Nets unless he KNOWS KD is joining him too.

ugh

Remember when D-Rose had 3 weeks last season when he looked like his old self, just to go back to mediocrity and get a season-ending injury?

The Pistons should ship Griffin away for some picks and tank for two or three seasons. Why do they insist on staying mediocre?

one more shitty joke like that and you're getting pastebinned

KD is out a year anyways. Kyrie by himself is gonna be fun to watch him implode again and spread his cancer to the nets young core or possibly get injured since his knees are glass

ok i lied, this one is fake.

why he gets to go to a team where he is the first option like he wanted. Also the heat organziation is known for hard work.

I do find it delicious that Kyrie is leaving the Celtics to join the Nets after that ridiculous Celtics/Nets trade.

Who would have guessed even 3 years ago that the two teams would be on par, with the Nets rapidly improving and the Celtics blowing it?

Butler is the biggest fucking retard in the world if he joins the Heat.

Russell would be a good fit for the Lakers but he’s surely not their target for a big 3 and I can’t see him beimg willing to take the MLE. I also can’t see how a sign and trade would help the Lakers acquire him, they have no-one left to trade.

>not as good as the warriors
did you forget the part where they're missing the fucking playoffs next year?

give DLO a team friendly contract and have lebrons people fit him in the space jam 2 pay roll

The two bad contracts from 2016 pretty much did them in (Batum @ 5/120M and Biyombo @ 4/70M latter is from Orlando, but still)

When the new owner decided to move from the Palace to Little Caesars Arena he needed a way to fill the seats (along with Stan Van Gundy trying to save his ass) so they traded a bunch of players/picks for Griffin

Just saw one source that is claiming Durant and Kawhi want to be on same team. The source is probably retarded but could that actually happen? What team could pull that off? Anyone guess?

You obviously don’t understand how fantasy works, please refrain from speaking on the matter in the future.

come on with curry and klay thompson they are better than every team then the lakers

>Bismack Biyombo (acquired from Orlando in exchange for Mozgov's retarded contract. They acquired Mozgov after trading Dwight Howard for him): 17 million
>Marvin Williams: 15 million
>Cody Zeller (4rd overall pick in 2013, never averaged more than 10 points and 7 rebounds in a season in his whole fucking career): 15 million
>Michael Kidd-Gilchrist (2nd overall pick, nigga has one of the worst shooting % of all time): 13 million

None of those players could make it to the starting 5 in any other decent team. MJ is literally retarded, and coincidentally he's the only black owner in the league.

If the Lakers could get ~$7m in salary from somewhere, once the Lakers have signed a max deal for a 3rd max player, couldn't Russell opt-in to his qualifying offer of $8m in a sign-and-trade?

The Lakers could then get three max free agents and Russell.

They can then immediately extend Russell's contract.

Which gives them LeBron/Kuzma/AD/??? max contract/Russell with the MLE still available.

Imagine being a Celtics fan and your team is about to be passed in championships after they got 13 free titles back when the league only had 10 teams

if Charlotte had been granted the #1 pick in 2012, rather than the league gifting AD to find a buyer for the Pelicans, none of this would have happened

Kemba + AD would have been a great core to build around. Draft Beal in 2015 instead of wasting a pick on a white bust, open a slot for a top FA, and you're looking at a solid Pacers-tier playoff squad instead of this current trash heap

i'm pretty sure GS is gonna tank this season write off Curry on some bullshit injury and try to get good drafts for the return of the Splash Bros

Don’t think we can sign him because of the cap, but it would be bretty good

Jimmy COMING HOME to choke in the playoffs to the clippers in 5-6 games and kill harden in the same season

If Lebron wants to win so bad, why doesn't he just take the league minimum and ask other superstars to do the same?

Jimmy flops all the time too. Gonna look like league night at the lanes with all the Rockets laying on the court.

You now remember Brian Scalabrine.

Monk (?)

Wow I scarecly know any of these niggers
Good job

Don't forget the west is wide open. kawhi would be dumb to come to the west

so if they don't sign kawhi how dumb are they gonna look? cause then they have to paint over it or take it down

It will be painted over within a week by Compton gangs anyway

they could just recolor the jersey

>*All of my lights starts playing*

I'm okay with this as a Heatfan. I think in a weird way maybe he sees alot of himself in D Wade. And how they treated him, it makes alot of sense.

Also remove Kawhi off of the Raptors and compare their roster to the Heat's. For someone like Butler, you could make a run in the East with that.

i he doesn't sign with the lakers it will be graffiti'd to shit and we'll put an asterisk on the trophy he's holding to remind him he's a beta

honestly i hope some clipper fans do that overnight

>asterisk
ok turn the proxy off and cope that they won the championship against an asterisk team

would they know the colors of the raptors jersey?

Jesus Christ is there not a single likable team in the league? I want to support a team but they are all cuck tier or worse

>D’Angelo Russell’s Nike shoe deal is set to expire this fall as well. Brands already have massive interest in the All-Star, but a move to LA would escalate his offers.

B-BUT LIVING IN LA DOESN'T MATTER!?!?!

It's sprayed on isn't it? You can see where his real hairline is

Boston. They are dropping their pre-madonna and picking up a rising young guy to go with their group of nobodies that almost made it to the Finals 2 years ago.

couldn't you just look them up? also i implied that they would replace the lakers jersey with a clippers jersey

Kawhi is not joining the fucking Clippers or Lakers lmao

how is Kyrie an upgrade from Dlo?

Not gonna lie, a Butler/Winslow combo would be the best wing duo in the league, it's just that all their other pieces can't score for shit.

If 3 years ago you told me Boston would squander their plethora of assets on multiple role players, a worse version of Rudy Gay, and Kemba Walker I would not have believed you

Ainge sucks lmao

honestly it looks like the key in the would be trade will be jrich not winslows. Which I will switch jrich for jimmy butler in an instant

half of the east is tanking. kawhi can load manage all he wants on the raptors. on the lakers? not so much...

I implied that Kawhi was staying haha

Except Horford was their best player 2 years ago

hair doesn't matter when you got rings, right Toronto?

People are mad Jordan isn’t maxing Kemba?

This is actually one of the more competent thing he’s done in a while. Kemba isn’t leading you a to a championship.

Butler aint leaving Philly senpai. Is this babbys first free agency?

oh then they build kawhi a statue and in his arms is a crown and a bowl of curry

Uh yeah..?

You don't eat curry in a bowl dumbass

They’d be picking on the Hornets if he was maxing Kemba

They're mad that he spent so much time doing nothing with Kemba and now they're letting him walk without getting anything.

Just stack the rings around your skull as your hairline recedes. Thats why veterans want their rings so bad.

You would know Prakesh

At least DeMar still has his hair...

Better power forwards than Kuzma?

I mean pure power forward, no hybrid 4 or combo big.

Kemba won't even average 20 a game with the Leltics. Team of ballhogs who can't shoot is laughable.

how are noodles made bros? My friend said they're just stretched out grains of rice, but I say they're made from bread. Who's right?

Is it a point of pride to have a limited skill set in the NBA?

LaMarcus Aldridge.
Anthony Davis

Not to mention look at whi he's locked up long-term against. Regardless of your opinions of Simmons, isn't he a drastically better player?

he'll be the #1 option, maybe second to taytum

Kawhi is moving to the LA raptors

Can we sign DeRozan back if Kawhi leaves?

I miss him so much bros....

Kill yourself

Noodles are just stretched foreskin. Macaroni for the babies and rigatoni for the men.

No but if we’re talking greatest all time point guard Lebron isn’t in the running because he has playmaking ability, we’re talking pure point guard. Magic isn’t in top centers because he can do jump ball, pure 5.

>leltics will be paying 33 year old 5'8" Kemba $40 million

LIE AYY MAOOOO

Those are combo bigs, go look at them on 2k they both have center as their primary position.

I CANT BELIEVE THE LAKERS SIGNED ALL THE STARS BROS HOW CAN WE STOP AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

...

I think the kid from Kentucky was super underrated (cuz he's white) and is going to immediately contribute simply because of his shooting. Not with just the long ball but he was above 95% from the FT line last year I believe.

The Heat have pieces they need someone like Butler so he could try to do what Kawhi just did. I COULD work.

Attached: 20181008-090925-herro.jpg (1000x1500, 255K)

Being a pure anything in today's NBA just means you will have a limited career. Specialists in anything but 3s are useless. If you can be defined by your position you are likely to be phased out.

Blake Griffin is WAY better than him, for sure.

Butler was a bench player most of his career. He isn't even close to Kawhi's level

*It

All of these except AD and Lamarcus Aldridge are pure power forward, no hybrid or combo.

Attached: A60A6F5E-1B3F-4BEA-B85F-DD72261EF56B.jpg (1280x720, 432K)

Jokic, Embiid, Gasol, Lopez all PURE center none of them at risk of being moved out all highly coveted.

Butler was the 4th best player on a team that lost in the semis. Don't think he's carrying the heat to the title after a career with no playoff success.

Randle is a PF right? I would consider him better than Kuzma too. Kuzma really hasn't proven shit tbqh

>all of these except the 2 best ones are pure PF

way to prove his point

Kristaps is better at center as well as AD

thanks for letting me know theres an event on today

twitter.com/Chris_Broussard/status/1145118290206846976

NOOOOOOOOOOOO, I THOUGHT ELITE NBA PLAYERS LOVED CANADA!

I beg to differ. Although Kawhi has a better all around game. They are both 3 and D players that developed their isolation skills. And play similar. And like I said Miami's roster is much better than the Raptors if Kawhi isn't there. Meaning they could pick up some more slack.

Id take Kuzma over Randle going forward because of his ability to shoot
Kristaps does not play center, too lean

good luck with losing once again

Its going to take a couple of years to develop. I think they need to tank this year.

winslow and butler would be elite defensively. no one will score on us playing 1990s basketball

>Chris Broussard
Lmao

>Chris Broussard
>credible

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

Jokic is a point center, Embiid is crippled, Gasol is retired in a couple years, Lopez was the worst rebounder on the team and sits at the 3 point line.

>Leaf mad about going back to irrelevancy after a single ring*

lol Cuckronto Rapcucks are SEETHING rn LMAO

>sources

Broussard and SAS are fake news

If you don't play defense then you don't deserve the MAX

>ADE-COUNTY(FITZMAGIC)
>literally a 4 game meme man is your starting qb
>Jew Rosen
Ohnononono
The most cucked tripfag on Yea Forums

Jokic plays point-center, gasol and lopez are role-players and Embiid could play stretch PF it's just the sixer's roster has no better bigs to switch out with him.

>literally said Kawhi wasn't going to LA the previous day

>trash team
>won the championship
??????

500th for my pellies

In the nu-NBA being lean at center is perfectly fine

>Hearing Raptors chances of keeping Kawhi are fading.

FADING LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLL

Kawhi is staying stop being niggers and cope even you fake leaf

>implying we were tanking anyways

they are doing what the heat should be doing

Friendship ended with Kyrie. Now Kemba is my best friend

You wouldn’t play Jokic at the one, a la Ben Simmons or Magic, he is a pure center, too slow and fat to check other positions. A healthy Embiid is the best player in the NBA, Gasol is the best center in the NBA that is healthy, Lopez enabled Milwaukee to dominate.

>leaf on leaf violence
Sad to see.

Can’t believe he put his gorilla dick inside that pure white woman

Lebron would never approve Kyrie to LA

But Kawhi wouldn't want to play with lebron, he's supposed to be the only one with the ball in the 4th

haven't seen smiling kyrie poster in a while

True but we have moved on to positionless basketball in most cases. An elite pure center has never been the 3 point specialist before the past couple years.

Drop step
Boom boom
Turn and shoot
Thats what shaq said, right?

What championship? That bum team can barely get to 0.500 per season, let alone the playoffs (where they have always been swept)

People are just baffled that Jordan didn't trade a 3x All-Star for literally anything. He gives a $150M/5 contract to fucking Nic Batum but not his franchise star?

And another thing, if Jordan was always planning on being a cheap fuck, why didn't they draft a PG instead of signing literally 6 Forards from college? Who the fuck is their scoring option now?

Silver and the new anti-tanking rules are going to punish MJ's incompetence with perpetual #8 picks. Even 5th graders playing 2k could assemble a better team for cheaper than Michael Jordan, and that's insane.

That was cringy as fuck ngl

A pure (Porzingis) is always gonna be superior to a hybrid build (Aaron Gordon/Paul Millsap)

Kat Williams is a little unfunny faggot and notorious asshole and I would unironically beat his ass if I saw him just to say I did it. Stupid little piece of shit.

>4th best player on a team....
>Implying Ben Simmons who has the skillset of a power fucking forward is a better player basically a bigger Rondo
>Or a looter in the riot type player in Tobias Harris is better
>Jimmy Butler was the player they entrusted the final shot of games to and was their best iso player his time there

I'll give you Embiid. He is a better PLAYER but Butler can score in iso which is the equivalence of saying that a above average QB is more impactful than a player like Aaron Donald because how much the QB position (like the ability to constantly score in iso) impacts the entire game.

Also the 76ers was a team full of cancer BEFORE he ever stepped foot into piles of human shit and used needles or whatever you motherless fucks have in Pukeadelphia.

>He gives a $150M/5 contract to fucking Nic Batum but not his franchise star?
How does someone who was so good at the game of basketball end up being so bad at assembling a team?

Nigga got run off the Bulls for being LeGM 1.0 and a gambling addict.

Demanded Kwame fucking Brown at #1 overall.

Got run out the league to protect his own career.

A dozen illegitimate kid around the state.

Disowned his own kids because they were busts.

He's arrogance and pride incarnate.
