Players that were possibly on the Lakers board, who signed with another team, who the Lakers would have taken had they not gotten Kawhi

>Klay Thompson (GSW)
>Kemba Walker (BOS)

>Khris Middleton (MIL)

If the Lakers didn't grab any of these players, then that's a flag that they know they have Kawhi. The Lakers would have told Kawhi to cut the bullshit with the waiting because free agency starts and ends quick. Kawhi to the Clippers seems unlikely now that Jimmy Butler and Harris are on their own teams. I don't think Kawhi would want to be on the Clippers with just himself + the scrappy Doc Rivers crew. If the Lakers lose out on Kawhi, then they are royally fucked this season which gives me the benefit of the doubt to think Rob Pelinka is this stupid.

Knicks obv

Really hope kawhi is just fucking with the lakers. The asshurt on here and twitter would be hilarious.

I believe Nik Stauskas and Seth Curry are available for the minimum, Lakeshits.

is there any team dumb enough to give up something good for a gallinari package or are the clippers genuinely fucked if they miss out on kawhi lol

hope he stay but lol

Kemba is better, what the fuck are you talking about, D'Angelo isn't worth the money he's gonna get

why do people think kuzma is good

Only if they offer him the max since he barely got paid with GS

The league is gonna be fun next year. Dlo and Curry is the new Lillard and Mccollum. The Kings upgrading their floor spacing to help out Fox and Bagley, Lonzo gets to be the floor general again with a good supporting cast.

No one is giving him the max lol

>is there any team dumb enough to give up something good for a gallinari package
I mean Gallinari is by no means a bad player so I think so. I don't think Kawhi would wait for that though. Or maybe Toronto can Sign-N-Trade meme with the Clippers like how a couple teams did it today. Kawhi's parting gift to Toronto would be gallinari

lakers signing kawhi would be the warriors on steroids, i pray it doesn't happen

He's coming home lads

Yoooo this man Kawhi might be the most smartest basketball player in the league.

pelicans are fucking stacked bros. i dont even know what their lineup gonna be like

Jrue
Reddick
Zion
Ingram
Favors

Lonzo on the becnh?

KAWHI STAYING

WE GOT THAT OVO MONEY BAYBEEEEEEEEE

Do the pelicans have a good coach/management? They have alot of young guys that need development. They'll be the goat team if they can develop it, but thats if.

Free agent guard Cory Joseph has agreed to a three-year, $37 million deal with the Sacramento Kings, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.

D'Lo is younger. They can raise an orphanage of players in Boston thru the years

Probably Reddick on the bench and Jrue at the 2.

He has all the power in the league right now. Wouldn't even be surprised if he says he's too good for the NBA and signs for some intergalactic spaceball tournament.

none of them can shoot like the warriors

are they just going to drive to the basket every possession?

deandre jordan is overrated

Which playoff teams aren't playoff teams next season?

J'almst'd'v'nt Kawhi

okc, clippers

He didn't play either enough or well enough to command near a max this season. He needs to sign another cheap 1 year deal, not get injured too much and hope for a medium sized brinks truck next summer

All nets need hom for is rebounds, which he's top 5

i mean hey jonah bolden is pretty good from 3

The fuck you talking about?

only good thing about him is his gf. He is a shadow of the player he once was

West Coast Knicks, LeBrick and Brow going there is their version of when Melo went to NY. One decent playoff run in the near future, then Bussy drives that shit into the ground.

Haters talk...haters laugh...they don't know it will be us who has the final laugh when Kawhi signs the dotted line to be a LA Laker.

>Willie Steinberg finally becomes elite
>Kings rescind his rights for Cory fucking Joseph

>During an appearance on Spectrum Sportsnet, Broderick Turner of The L.A. Times laid out some of the details of that conversation...

>“The first thing that I’ll start with is that Kawhi and his uncle, Uncle Dennis, they talked to Magic several times. They’ve also talked with Rob Pelinka. They want to meet with Jeanie Buss and Magic. Magic can’t meet with them when Jeanie is in the room, or if Rob Pelinka is also invited... The NBA rules are kind of stipulating that you can bring anyone with that’s a non-employee, but because Magic worked for the Lakers, because they’ve been hit with tampering fines (he can’t be in there with them).”

>“There was one interesting question (Leonard) had for Magic: ‘Did you guys try to trade for me when I was in San Antonio?’ And the answer was ‘yes, but because it was Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs, and our history, they were asking for 2,000 draft picks -- well, not 2,000 -- like four draft picks, first-round draft picks, and we just couldn’t do that.’ And that was one of his questions.

>“The uncle’s questions were ‘what’s really going on in the organization between you, Jeanie, Rob Pelinka, everyone? Is it as dysfunctional as we’re reading and hearing?’ And the response was ‘we had some issues, but we’re past that. I’m past that. We’re still a family, such as you fight with your brothers and sisters sometimes, well, I had somewhat of a disagreement with my sister. And Rob Pelinka, yes, I said he was a back-stabber, but that happened then. Now I want the Lakers to be a championship team. Having Kawhi here would do that.

>“‘You can play for them because it’s not about me, it’s not about Jeanie, it’s really about this franchise. It’s about Kareem. Wilt Chamberlain. Kobe Bryant. It’s about all those great players. You can be another one, you can join LeBron James and you can win more titles, and you don’t have to put as much stress on your body to do that. We have two stars to work with you.’”

>“LeBron James was able to bring on his own trainer, his own medical people. (Kawhi) wants to know if he can do that as well. LeBron James brought on some people that weren’t with the Lakers, and he wants to know ‘can I bring with a couple of my guys?’ ... And as far as I know, the Lakers would be willing to do that, because you do those things for superstar players.”

He's gonna have to play like Klay 2.0 if he becomes a starter

>Isaiah Thomas
idk for some reason i thought he got a contract with NY, some faggot posted faked a tweet. muh bad.

Ben Simmons
Josh Richardson
Tobias Harris
Al Horford
Joel Embiid

Yeah, I'm thinking we're back

what if magic instead told dennis to keep kawhi the fuck away from LA to hurt rob and jeanie out of spite

The only thing Stein is good at is catching lobs. He can't even set a good screen so his pick and rolls are weak.

When you need BUCKET
who are you going to??

My soarces tel me kawhy leonerd wants to sign with the l-a laker. my soarces say he want to play in the California west closer to home

At least Tobias will be more useful than he was last season now that he is their best shooter.

It was told on spectrum sportsnet (lakers tv stream I believe) by a guy who writes for the LA times. It's obvious that Magic wants this conversation leaked because he would get the credit for landing Kawhi.

JOEL EMBIID
THE PROCESS

Literally who?

also the same guy who leaked everything from the lakers internally during the trade deadline drama. quality source

half of the board was all like "omg they reloaded, splash triplets omg omg", the other half was hating on them, "good luck with the defense". Lot of the conversation was concentrated on how they would be played, i think there were reports that dlo and curry would be the back court until klay gets back but idk how they're going to play when klay gets back into the starting lineup.

People were memeing saying the dynasty isn't over yet and then there were others memeing saying the warriors are retarded and finished for the move

>he's still seething
It's almost been 3 weeks, get over it, califag.

youtu.be/DrdzzcRou1k

Iguodala for vet min to the Lakers is a solid move.

It might be good to put Klay at small forward because it's getting harder to keep up with the younger and more athletic 2 guards, at 6'7 that's good height for a 3. And Dlo plays like a shooting guard anyway and he's 6'5. I'm interested in seeing how this will all work out.

Bucks going to be even more like the Rockets of the East now.

Indiana is the jazz of the east too

agreed, also I don't really hate them like I used to , i don't consider them a super team anymore. Like they're still somewhat annoying but I can talk about them without personal hatred. Back when they're were hitting up the league in the 73-9 season and when they first got durant I wanted to hear nothing about them, like would change channels and all this other shit but now I think I'll be able to tune into games and just appreciate the basktball now.

DAMN! Son where’d ya find this?

Anyone else really want LeBron to break his leg this season so he can finally fuck off from the league

I never followed Brooklyn, but do they even have a decent supporting cast?

>spite over the greater goal
Yeah, unfortunately that seems like a leaf thing and we're talking about the Lakers.

I'm a Warriors fan and honestly I'm glad we got worse this off-season. I watched fewer regular season Warriors games than any other team because it had just gotten so boring

hell yes

Yep

So Kemba is basically Kyrie but a better teammate and without the illuminati flat earth conspiracy bullshit?

Attached: kemba-walker.jpg (1000x574, 60K)

Harris is wet

They were such a fun team to watch this year. I would unironically stream some of their home games to listen to RJeff banter. They have a great bench, a young promising ring protector center, and some height.

warriors had to do something or else box and 1 and watching curry run around turning the ball over would be the story of next season.

Based

Reminder that my beloved Lakies have a track record of closing the deal with FAs quite unlike that of any other franchise desu

they have Irving and Durant now so they're probably going to compete with Milwaukee for home court in the playoffs

He's also a more inferior offensive player.

The Celtics' rookies have more playoff experience than him in his entire 8-year career.

If they didn't listen to a NBA champ who goofed the Warriors, why would they listen to a guy who never made it past the first round and could barely reach the postseason?

I like they're young center Jarrett Allen, was a beast for me in fantasy.

imagine if the warriors run through the league still

>Pat Bev agrees to deal with Clippers

Lmao one down Lakeshit

You're going to have to imagine this one that's for sure

Kemba
>older (30 I think)
>shorter
>has barely any playoff experience
>only won in college
>less talented than kyrie, but still has great handles
>doesn't have multiple ways to score like Kyrie

However he is a wholesome guy, most likely a great teammate, and can definitely shoot off the catch so he doesn't have to be ball dominant. I bet you there's going to he stretches where brad Stevens gets peak efficiency out of him. But since Boston lost Horford and the east got stronger, I still see boston as a round 2 exit.

Bro is there anyone on the warriors at this moment physically, literally, hypothetically, realistically even capable of stopping Lebron or Davis

Lakies would have signed him had they known Kyrie wasn't coming ;)

draymond and damian jones

Reminder that old Dirk spanked the warrios by 30 points in his final game against them

Its ok when LeBum does it.

Why is Pat Riley such a fucking jew lately?

I don't like superteams. It's better to have a deep team like the Warriors before Kevin got there.

assists, rebounds,per most advanced stats. Things besides choking against Milwaukee

lol this post gave me laugh

Kyrie s best seasons was being LeBron's sidekick. Him being the number 2 option is how you peak utilize kyrie as a player. Of course he's gonna get more assists in Boston/pad his adv stats cause he was their first option, but that never got results. 2016/2017 Kyrie is peak kyrie as of now.

>Am told meeting with Magic went well after he explained that given his broader business commitments, a less hands on role with the Lakers was more appropriate, and that he was clashing with those who were grinding on the job more than him. After being briefed by Lakers business execs, Magic cleverly linked this back to LA, saying how his stardom in such a big market afforded him all these business opportunities that ended up sucking up his time away from the Lakers, and have given him both something to be passionate about and generated solid income for him post basketball. Obviously no mention of being forced out as far as I know. Dennis was satisfied with the explanation.

>AEG is eager and pressuring Jeanie to close fast. Marketing promos for the big 3 is underway. Kawhi and his camp want assurance that things will run smoothly from the top-down, especially after the coaching debacle and mentions of Laker-nepotism (i.e. Rambis family) etc.

Is Kerr going to remain the head coach?

kerr gonna have another back injury and let the assistant run the show. got to protect his padded record

Worst part about the Warriors. They TALKED SHIT WHEN THEY WERE UP 3-1. They thought they really had it. Klay Thompson's LeBron comments, Steph flexing on memechucks/doing behind the back passes, and Draymond acting like a fucking asshole throughout that entire series. And then when it was all said and done after they choked the series, they cried to the 2nd best player in the league who's ass they just whooped to join their team, and Kevin Durant was soft enough to join them like the cock monkey bitch he is. I never understood how people thought the Warriors were likable.

JR Smith almost took out Klay at the start of Game 1 in 2017 (on accident), lots of people played rough and clumsy in those games, I get the feeling the Warriors antics are overblown. Other than Draymond of course, literally everything else is subjective. And they were kind of fucked in the 3-1, to a degree, and people know that and enjoy it

Isn't that exactly what the literal other Kerr-zyzewski did once while coaching Dook?

In the 2016 finals the Warriors lost Andrew Bogut who was averaging 12mpg and Draymond for 1 game when they were up 3-1 with homecourt advantage.

Yeah actually it's already in the books sorry kiddo

he went over to the other huddle and told them the play they were gonna run cause he was gonna bounce out of denver anyways. guy is a lowkey snake. it might have been against goldenstate can't remember

Just no. KD doesn't do nowhere near as much as what LeBron does on the court and Kevin obviously had the better team and was able to roflstomp the Cavs.

imagine thinking otherwise lol

He was better than lebron, hit bigger shots than lebron, including the biggest one, in lebron's face...sadly lebron was not playing defense well... sorry

Worst part about LeSwept. He choose 23, "The King", "Chosen One". He thought he really had next. LeBrick flexing after every dunk, doing behind the back passes, copying MJ's pregame ritual.

And then when it was all said and done after he got swept off the court by a record finals margin against the Spurs and melted down against the fucking Mavericks, he cried to D Wade and Bosh to create the first super team in the history of the NBA so he could collect a ring, and D Wade was so close to LeBitch and felt so embarrassed for him he allowed LeCramp to join the Heat.

Even then, he got booty blasted by the Spurs (again!). I never understood how people thought LeChoke was likable.

Its happening

Yikes

This pretty much confirms Kawhi is a Laker. They're filling up the rest of the roster with vet minimums.

Elon Musk has asked Jaylen, G.Wlliams and Tacko to provide assistance on the next gen lunar rover design

Who is G Williams?

Asset flipping. They can use him to gain some depth and build another team around Curry/Thompson/Green.

baste

they don't really want d'lo.
they need someone who can score, and they needed the sign and trade to do it.
if kd walks away as a free agent, warriors can't sign d'lo, or anyone worth a damn, b/c they are still over the cap.
if they do the sign and trade, they are effectively using their bird rights to kd to go over the cap to get d'lo.
yes, it's ridiculous.

Grant Williams.just drafted. mom works at NASA. He's projected as the C's small ball Draymond type 5

Oh looks very uppity

This will actually be a interesting season if Kawhi doesn’t end up on the lakers. Can’t we just get one year with out some retarded stacked as hell team?

Is anyone else sick of this "Kawhi 100% to the Lakers"?

They did it with AD with collusion from Klutch sports.

The "Goat" wouldn't need all of this to compete for titles. Lebron is a choker.

>Knicks commit $113 million to power forwards within the six hours of free agency, despite the fact Kevin Knox will likely have to play power forward if he wants to reach his ceiling as a player.

Seems like a pretty solid dude. Knows the earth is round

No one seriously thinks he's the GOAT anymore. LAst 3 Finals have exposed him beyond belief, forget 2011 is back in the pocket as the ultimate proof.

LeBron is just being a straight up wanna be mobster right now using a sports agency as his front.

>this is the bar for intelligence for Celtics fans

Lmao

Kawhi to the mavs plz

He literally co owns a sports agency with ties to some of the top players in the NBA. How is this not collusion? The NBA is a joke.

LeBron is already the GOAT. Winning one ring in LA will end all debate. People don't care how much help you had, just like people didn't care that Magic had Kareem and Worthy. Once the Lakers get Kawhi, it's a wrap.

I’ll never understand why they made such a fuss about “we’re so different than any previous Knicks regime” when the results on the floor were worse and they squandered all the star talent. At least the FO before last signed the B tier guys when we whiffed on Bron.

You mean for Kyriesexuals

I’m looking forward to watching Curry without constantly wishing his ankles would explode.

Can someone explain why Golden State is able to keep maxing players when all we hear from other teams is that they can't afford to?

5 years at the top makes you rich af.
They've already made like $2bn dollars off their new stadium without a game played. So they're up $600mil from that investment alone.
nbcsports.com/bayarea/warriors/warriors-have-already-secured-2-billion-revenue-chase-center

Me

Uh most people know he’s a washed stat padder at this point

Anyone else switch to being a Nets fan? I already live in Brooklyn so I can take the bus to Barclays. So done with this shit Knicks team.

They have the bird rights to Klay so they can max him even if over the cap.

The one year they maxed KD was due to a record cap spike that allowed them to max him after trading Barnes and Bogut

They offered Dlo the max (as he's a restricted free agent) Brooklyn immediately traded him to the Warriors for a 2nd round pick, traded Iggy away for 3 first round picks to max cap space (this isn't factoring Klay's max yet since it's not official until July 6th)

None of this matters in affairs related to player salaries since it's all under the same rules as every other franchise. This would only matter if there was no cap.

To lose KD and Iggy is a pretty big hit,

We're getting Rondo, Iggly, Kawhi, Curry and Green. Screencap this post. Also dubs.

Attached: 13546654532.png (1000x1151, 271K)

Losing KD yes, they intentionally let Iggy go to get Dlo (losing those 1st round picks is more impactful since they lose flexibility in future trades.

Having a Dlo Curry backcourt for one season and a bunch of min contract guys will sink their defense and potentially make them miss the playoffs. When Klay is back what's the team's fit?

Makes me think they'll need to trade Dlo in 2 years and hope someone comes in FA 2021

They are going to use him this season since they need a guard with Klay out most of the season and then flip him for assets next offseason (maybe in combo with a Green sign and trade) to make them a more attractive destination for Giannis in 2021.

You're obviously new here because anyone who has been here long enough knows that the Lakerfags are many and they're some of the most obnoxious shit posters ever. The recent years of thier irrelevancy has been great. Give them a sniff though and they'll be back in full force.

Also for all we know they could be planning on trading Dlo right now since his value is still so high.

Other teams were willing to pay him the max. Like the Timberwolves.

Not defending those moves but Knox is shit

They traded Iguodala with a single first round pick with lowering protections to Memphis

Frankly scared of what the Warriors are planning here.

>celtics
>sixers
>nets
i think you're confused the subject is best teams in the league. if you'll recall those teams were hot trash come playoff time

>post a rational, almost-consensus basketball view
>/nba/ gets triggered
every time

If DLo plays really good, then the Warriors keep him and trade Curry (DLo is only 23 and Curry is past his prime).

If DLo plays great but not good enough to replace Curry, Warriors trade him to the biggest moron.

Literally scared that somehow the Warriors get Kawhi in all of this.

Wasn't Iggy still one of their best defenders

Ya like a pussy ass bitch like Kawhi that doesn't play when he gets a bruise would play with a team that joyfully tears their ligaments for fun

Kawhis coming home bros

They’re gonna be tough to beat for that 8th seed.

spot defender. Iggy can shut someone down for a stretch but not all game. plus, he wasn't getting younger.

I'm talking about the Russell move. Yall motherfuckers slept on the Warriors and look what happened the last 5 years. They aint stupid.

With the options available to him I doubt he is.

kawhi was injured against the warriors

no one "slept" on the warriors the last five years you stupid faggot. they kept signing pussy-ass bitches. no one is dumb enough to become another KD, and there are no free agents left anyway. they're fucking collapsing because they have no money and their players are either leaving or injured so they gave dlo the max and plan on trading him before the deadline for forwards/bigs to flesh out the roster for a playoff push. they'll be lucky to make the 8th seed

He had a splinter or something? Kawhi is a lot of good things but he is the one who popularized the whole load management bullshit.

pretty sure he had a bruised hip. bruising bones is fucking painful bro

The Warriors without Durant won 72 games one year. To call them an 8th seed is not wise.

I bone your moms hips every night and she doesnt complain

Yup, he’s still a valuable playoff guy but you need to heavily limit his minutes in the regular season to get that from him these days. Since they are down at least two starters from last year for the majority of the season it made sense that they would go with a guy who can play major minutes over him.

they're not trading curry, they need to keep all the tech boomers buying tickets

Truthfully I'm glad the Warriors got rid of Iggy. He was such a great player and came to the Warriors when no one would, and did so much and became a champion. But holy shit I was not looking forward to Iggy being in the starting lineup or getting all those minutes in his final year of his contract (and probably career).

How many wins for the Pelicans next year?

Is D'lo smart? Can he sell to springers?

they also aren't going to have klay for nearly the entire fucking year. you think curry (potentially THE choke artist of the NBA) and draymond "10 points" green can carry a bunch of borderline g-leaguers to a place where they can seriously contend? they'll be LUCKY to lose in 5 in the first round

56 on their way to the first seed in the west. Zion is MVP

44. lose in 6 to houston first round

True, he would’ve almost certainly broken down if they played him 30 minutes a night during the regular season which they probably would do to chase a playoff spot.

>(potentially THE choke artist of the NBA)
Stopped reading there. He has 2 MVPs and 3 rings. You sound extremely bitter that he prevented your favorite team from having a chance the last 5 years.

I don't see curry having MVP type of seasons he had in the past desu

jokes on you retard, i'm a knicks fan. my team hasn't stood a chance for 20 fucking years
regular season means dogshit. he's had klay to bail him out at every opportunity over the years. there's a reason he's 0-8 on go-ahead shots in the final seconds of Finals games. the dude isn't clutch, and i'm not the only person who thinks this. if anyone is clutch it's durant (gone to nets) and klay (injured).

Basing someones skill off of very specific circumstances just reiterates how fucking angry Steph has made you the last 5 years.

There has never been a player in sports history that has angered non-fans to this extent. And the kicker is he has the stats and trophies and rings to back up everything and literally everything you say can't matter.

what would /nba/'s reaction be to kawhi going to golden state?

Attached: 1557767748027.jpg (1080x1200, 123K)

I am sorry but since you are a Knicks fan, you have been exposed to very unintelligent forms of basketball.

It is no longer "cool" to hate on Steph. Durant and Klay literally killed themselves and the Raptors were triple teaming him on every touch and the Raptors still just BARELY won.

He is a good basketball player. Just accept it. It's easier once you do. Teams that obsess over him like the Rockets and Blazers just get swept. Teams that treat him with respect actually win.

Literally fucking nuclear.

I agree
But who knows what kind of player KD will be when he comes back and he definitely ain't playing this season

Anyone comparing this season of literal whos to the 73 win Warriors is a fucking retard

They had Iggy, Bogut, Barbosa,Livingston all in their peak, the deepest bench in the NBA.

Now they have LITERAL WHO's at it's very best. Fucking Cook is the 4th best player on the team.

Thoughts as a Warriors fan:
F for Iggy. Thanks for the memories. Glad I don't have to see Kerr kill you this year.

Durant to the Nets had me laughing more than sad.

My brain is too small to comprehend what Myers is doing with this D'Lo thing. I will just wait and see what happens.

Warriors may have the worse defense in the league next year.

Ya but they'll average 130 or some shit and give up 150 so it'll be fun at least.

Average 130 without Klay or KD?

LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

Kerr about to be exposed for being a shit defense coach. He'll be gone in 3 years.

Curry and DLo will just shoot 3s with 15 seconds left on the shot clock all game long. Theyll teach Quinn Cook how to join the fun too. Draymond might get some rebounds.

>The "Goat" wouldn't need all of this to compete for titles. Lebron is a choker.
Thanks to bitch ass KD he does. He'd have a 4th ring if he didn't run crying to the Warriors

I guess you are expecting curry to avg 50-60 points

Attached: image.jpg (300x300, 12K)

Has anyone been cucked more than D'angelo Russell? He has to play for a team that is just waiting for the right moron owner to give up all their bigs and draft picks for him, and then be stuck on a 23 win team every year.

They should change the playoffs to 1-16 seeding this year because a lot of good teams are about to get left out the WC while a bunch of shittier EC teams will get in the lower seeds.

Warriors are guranteed to trade Dlo next year, he's just a Klay replacement.

Only way they keep him is if Klay's knee is bummed out after recovery.

none of those 4 guys were at their peak during that season

It's easy to make the playoffs in the EC, but the downside is you have to live on the least coast, so it's fair IMO. Keep it at 8.

>he's good just accept it
i never claimed he wasn't, retard. but he's not singlehandedly carrying a dogshit broken team to the finals. don't be delusional
0 fmvp? does that matter? nigga fucking played second fiddle to andre iguodala lmfao

>$19M a year for Rozier
>but wouldn't pay Kemba and won't commit to the tank
Finna head out and murder Jordan like they murdered his pops, j'almst want anything from the store while I'm gone?

Look up Currys finals stat line and tell me it's not good. Also Currys gimmick is he makes others around him better. Good job proving you just watch ESPN for sports info.

Tbh game winners during Finals is a pretty reasonable stat to use when evaluating someone who’s called the greatest shooter of all time.

you have to be trolling
curry unironically plays like shit in the finals, literally every single one of his stats that matters decreases (efficiency and accuracy especially)

Warriors will be lucky to even make the playoffs this year.

Maybe gun shy from their last tanking job resulting in trash like MKG, also MJ seems to be content with contending for the 8th seed as long as the team stays under the tax.

2019: 30.5 pts, 6.0 ast, 5.2 reb
2018: 27.5 pts, 6.8 ast, 6.0 reb
2017: 26.8 pts, 5.4 ast, 8.2 reb
2016: 22.6 pts, 3.7 ast, 4.9 reb
2015: 26.0 pts, 6.3 ast, 5.2 reb

I thought the NFL did a bad job of maximizing interest in free agency until I realized that NBA starts free agency at 6:00 p.m. ET on the Sunday of Fourth of July week.

why is mike florio such a fucking bitch. what a nfl shill

You really want me to dig up those stats too, because I truly can. Or better yet, just google the last 5 finals and click the basketball reference page to see his stats.

The meme that Curry is bad in the finals because he didn't win the FMVP is really fucking dumb.

imagine paying Tobias Harris 180 million. imagine writing that check and feeling good about that

I am going to be laughing so hard if he decides to stay in canada

i figured Vegas would be better because these nigs only care about gambling and whores

93881378
yeah, where he goes from shooting 50% in the regular season to barely over 40% in the finals? where he takes more shots and makes at a lower percentage? where he turns the ball over more? those stats? lmao

we got enough West Coast teams, move they ass to St. Louis

They’d have an insane homecourt advantage there, opposing teams would get destroyed the night before the game.

My Warriors will make D'Lo and Devin Book the next gen of splash bros, Splash bros 2.0, rings guaranteed, Lakeshits worked into a seethe lmao

>ignoring the rate that he's defended in the playoffs because the games actually matter

Also your favorite player would be fucking lucky to shoot 40% in the finals. Get some perspective.

Lebron and a bunch of nobodies took 2 games from 2015 GSW, but sure, Steph Memery alone will lead them to the wcf in the most stacked wc that weve seen in like a decade.

stay on topic, we aren't talking about whether he's good, we're talking about whether he's clutch. he isn't.

if the lakers strike out with leonard, all they're getting is scraps nobody cares for. rondo, carmelo, and some other garbage.

Leonards never needed a super team to get his chips. would be great to see lebitch rebuffed in the twilight of his career.

I really don't give a shit about arbitrary clutchness when the Warriors play to blow teams out. If you want to value clutchness then give Jeremy Lin a max contract. Bottom line Curry led a team to 5 straight finals while you're a fucking Knicks fan.

Those two aren’t nearly as bad defensively as booker and Russell

then why were the raptors leaving his ass open in the playoffs?

you seem to be missing the fucking point my retarded friendo, klay TORE HIS FUCKING ACL, he's GONE the entire season. the warriors have NOBODY to cover for curry's fuckups. the warriors aren't making the playoffs, get over yourself

When KD joined the Warriors Curry wasn't leading shit

Ah yes, coming to conclusions on players based on if they are lucky enough to hit a buzzer beater. My favorite episode of /nba/.

He stay. Don't be surprised if the LA teams don't even get a meeting. Kawhi refused to meet with the Lakers GM and wants load management which would be impossible on a team made up of G leaguers. Cloppers couldn't get anyone yesterday to the shock of no one outside of ESPN. No way will the biggest competitor sign with the Lakers little sister whose best player is Lou Williams.

You want to know my point? I got to see my favorite team go to the finals 5 straight years, and win the majority of those. What did you do the last 5 years, other than post "I hope Curry gets injured" threads?

I mean he just took the Warriors to 2 straight finals before that, including beating Lebron with scraps..........

i'm not a soulless cocksucking retard like you who wishes for players to get injured, because i believe in karma, and only faggots hope athletes get hurt because "muh feelings." but please, get over yourself. the warriors are winning 35 games if they're lucky. just accept it. you won 3 championships, and now your team is shit.

>giving your 4th option $180 mil

>NBA fans in July: OH MY GOD WE CAN’T GET ENOUGH. NBA fans in October through May: What else is on TV tonight?

Why don't more players and media people realize the between how much more star-driven basketball is an how forgiving the long regular season and playoffs where more than half the teams get in are, that FA is where the champions are decided more than in any game before the Conference Finals?

harris is probably the second option if simmons refuses to get a jumper.
1 embiid
2 harris
3 simmons
4 horford

Never in this argument did I try to make a point about the Warriors being good in this upcoming season.

If Harris is their 2nd option I'm not afraid of them in the least

"calling the warriors the 8th seed isn't wise"
you sounded extremely bitter once someone started showing you that there's no way in hell curry is taking this fucked up roster to anything beyond an 8th seed and 1st round sweep, much less a championship

lol I was trolling on that specific post good night I love you

Could you consider the 2014 Spurs to be a super team? TP was FMVP in 2007, 5x All-Star, 2x All-NBA second team, 1x All-NBA third team; Timmy D is one of the top PF's of all time, Manu might be the greatest sixth man ever, 1x 6MOTY, 2x All-Star, 2x All-NBA third team; also a bunch of great roleplayers, and obviously Kawhi during that season

Unironically a good idea. Raiders should get one for Antonio Brown too.

what the fuck makes a team "super"?

>D. Rose, Blake, Drummond
>Coach: Casey

Should we be scared of this team?

Why even bother with conferences then lol

Not him, but I'd say a super team is a team with a number of top 10 level talents that you would never be able to collect with drafting alone. Like How Lebron, Wade, and Bosh were all top 5 picks yet wound up on the same team

why would you ever be scared of a team with derrick rose?

harris is the perfect second option, an efficient 20ppg scorer

>a number
to keep this from being arbitrary meme bullshit, you actually have to pick a number.

picks mean nothing though, like fucking kwame brown theoretically could have ended up on one of the 2000s spurs teams and that automatically makes it a superteam because both duncan and brown were 1st overall picks?
it has nothing to do with picks and more just to do with talent and skill

76ers are trying to win a championship. you don’t win a championship with tobias as your 2nd scorer

Something tells me this is exactly the type of team Lakeshits will lose to next year

It really depends on how good the individual players are. Lebron and Kawhi are likely 1-2 in the league with AD probably falling between 5-10.

If I had to go with a number I would say 2 top 5 players and then another player in the top 15.

I like how being a team that wins the finals is second to being a super team.

the Raptors just won the chip with basically Siakam and vanvleet as the secondary scoring options you retard

it has to be black or white. no "it depends" cop out. otherwise we'll keep running into arguments about who is or isn't "super"

Tobias Harris is the most literal who high paid player currently

pretty sure the spurs' second option was manu
and in 94 the rockets second option was otis thorpe

KAWHIS COMING HOME. HES A LAKER I HAVE IT ON GOOD AUTHORITY!!

thats a good metric actually, two top10 guys and another regular allstar (i.e top 15-20)

Because it's a tough line to draw. THe Warriors weren't a superteam just because of Steph, KD, and Klay, but they had a bunch of solid players on top of that. The Lakers would probably have minimal depth after Lebron/Kawhi/AD but that's such an absurd trio I'd call it a super team anyway

Hey having Dwight, Bogut, Bargs, Rose, Wall, Wiggins, Bennett and Fultz would be a super (tank) squad.

>Free agent guard Ish Smith has agreed to a two-year, $12M deal with the Washington Wizards, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium.
zzzzzzzz

>two top10 guys and another regular allstar (i.e top 15-20)
not a single team fits this criteria.

also, Tobias would comfortably have been the second option on the Toronto chip squad, never mind the fact that you have one of the top pgs in the league and one of the best passers in the league feeding him as well as other very capable guys like Richardson, mike scott, horford, etc

Lakers, Nets

I'd make it two in the top 5. But that metric the 2015 Cavs were a superteam (Kyrie is top 10 but not top 5). Lebron and Wade were top 5 with Bosh in the top 15

I like how you bend the rules of what a super team is just so the Warriors aren't one. Pathetic.

big 3 heat does
if teams that lost count then you can include the 16 warriors too
17/18 warriors also
arguably the big 3 celtics in the first season or two

t. Tobias
fuck off you dollar store J Cole

>Reading comprehension

so you say it HAS to be 2 in the top 5, yet the Cavs are allowed to bend that rule, because, uh, no good reason?

current team

So Brooklyn gets the Warriors 2024 pick?

No, the Cavs are not a superteam, can't you read?

>Cavs
Lebron/ kyrie + love
>Warriors
Curry/Durant + klay/Drayboon

Lebron/dwade + Bosh

>even the Bulls sort of fit

Far better defensively.
They are pretty much the same rebounding.

Only advantage Lebron has is assist. And that's because Lebron is the primary ball handler for his team. Also he has the ball in his hands for like 85% of his teams positions.

Why do you want to see a divorce between two couples?

kek

>Winning one ring in LA will end all debate

And it would only take prime AD and prime Kawhi (who is currently better than Lebron) to do it. Truly the GOAT.

>all these niggas on social media saying they hate the Knicks signings except Reggie Bullock cause he had a transgender sister that was murdered

steph shouldve left her fat ass a while ago

her genes are already showing i. his kids, they're all fat as fuck now

Roster with all of its talent in the backcourt? Let’s sign a former all star point guard as a reclamation project first.

word

Don't worry 90% of Ny will be Nets fans next year.

>cant decide whether I want lebron to win another ring and team up with kawhi and davis or want kawhi to go to any non-laker team and get to watch the absolute carnage that is this general

Will never stop riding with the Knicks, it be a lot less painful if they’d get a good point guard though.

you low IQ lakers fan giving me cancer

after 10 years of superteam if kawhi goes to the lakers im done with that clown ass league

nhl, nfl>nba

Steph is a good boy. He won’t leave his wife? Why are you guys promoting nba players to divorce?

>nfl > anything
sorry but the NFL is fucking absolute nigger-tier refuse

word

We shouldn’t have stretched Joakim Noh in hindsight

>“The uncle’s questions were ‘what’s really going on in the organization between you, Jeanie, Rob Pelinka, everyone? Is it as dysfunctional as we’re reading and hearing?’ And the response was ‘we had some issues, but we’re past that. I’m past that. We’re still a family, such as you fight with your brothers and sisters sometimes, well, I had somewhat of a disagreement with my sister. And Rob Pelinka, yes, I said he was a back-stabber, but that happened then. Now I want the Lakers to be a championship team. Having Kawhi here would do that.

So it's still a clusterfuck and they just accept that now. What an endorsement lmao

Kawhi is staying

>Going to the old ass Lakers when AD/Lebron are both old and busted up

>Raptors young and East favorites

he stay.

>NFL
Has been straight garbage since 2011.

>Kawhi going into a backstabbing organization after the Spurs bullshit

he. stay.

STEPHS AN UNCLE TOM THAT TURNED HIS BACK ON THE BLACK COMMUNITY

“There was one interesting question (Leonard) had for Magic: ‘Did you guys try to trade for me when I was in San Antonio?’ And the answer was ‘yes, but because it was Gregg Popovich and the San Antonio Spurs, and our history, they were asking for 2,000 draft picks — well, not 2,000 — like four draft picks"

So they gave up the entire team for AD but couldn't bother with 4 what would be bottom of the round picks for Kawhi. Sure he loved that response lmao

>BAWWSTON FAGS THOUGHT THEY WERE GETTING AD AND KYRIE WITH MUH ASSETS
THE SHANTY TOWN OF LITTLE IRELAND

Toronto has treated Kawhi perfectly, he didn't even play every game.

In LA he would be forced to carry old ass Lebron.

>Reinsdorf
>Garpax
>Fear of being shot
>Eternally playing under Jordan's shadow

>AD is old
>AD is 26
>Lowry is 33
HE GO

>AD breaks his legs

>Kawhi has to play 48 a game every game cause Lebron is a grandpa

nah. he's staying.

He is trying to be a good husband. Besides he is black on his own term.

nas is trash

Nas better than jay

>he thinks lebron isnt going to show AD and kawhi his cyborgesque literal vampire-casket of recovery methods and teach them to stay healthy for years to come

>Vince Carter
Lol will this dude ever give up

he said he'll play one more year and will retire

nas is the go to rapper when you want boomerfags and rap people to think you're cool when you really are a zoomer who listens to pop

>Kawhi on load management
>LeBron and AD on space jam shoot

Starting 5 of Kuzma, Melo, Caruso, Cash Considerations and an empty space for the 2027 2nd round pick

so uhhh, have the Spurs done literally anything this offseason?

He didn't teach Kyrie that. Or Wade. Or bosh who had to end his career prematurely

Kawhi has no reason to leave. Lakers are a time bomb cause LeBeta ain't getting younger and AD still has the injury bug.

They don't even have depth. LOOK WHAT WE DID TO THE WARRIORS.

You mean since 2005.

AD is 2K20 cover. Lakers already cursed with career threatening injury

>implying Kawhi won't be the man to save LeBron in Space Jam like Bill Murray did for MJ
dumb chink

you think Zion vibes to some Charli XCX bro?

They caught DePression and are too sad to pick up the phone

I bet you think 21 Savage is great.

Kelly Oubre

But Bill Murray is already the starting PG for the Lelkers

RUDY FUCKING GAY NIGGA

Kawhi living in their heads rent free and they’ve basically given up

I was okay with how the warriors built it

Wow you bet he thinks a great rapper is great? Dumb fuck foh

Leonard should stay where he's at desu, no need to join Lebron and ad. Lebron is just searching for as much help as possible at this point. Not to mention Jurassic park seems a lot more hype than the lakers

only a low class woman doesnt keep that type of shit private

Guys, tell me one reason for Kawhi to actually refusing the Lakers?

Kawhi should go to the Lakers. He already won two rings and he's only 28 years old. Lebron is aging, he will be the center of attention for maximum one year or two. Kawhi might already be considered the best player in the team the very next year. And once Lebron retires or gets too old he will still have AD as his side and the attractivness of LA to keep building a strong team around him.

If he thinks about his dynasty he should go there. He will be in the best position to secure as many championships as possible before retiring. He might be considered an all time great if he does that.

damn this nigga ugly

AD gone next year after they miss playoffs

Kawhi stay.

NEW

Probably. He’s definitely a zoomer player.

Bled purple and gold. How could the Lakers do Ingram dirty like that?
