>Amid the spate of free agency news, Chris Haynes of Yahoo Sports revealed that Leonard did not hold any team meetings today. From the looks of it, the two-time NBA champion is taking his sweet little time. According to various analysts, he wants to get a clearer picture of the entire league before making his move.

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.
C: Davis PF: Kuzma SF: James SG: Leonard PG: Rondo Bench: Caruso, Noel, KCP, Iggy, Horton-Tucker
Still some holes in the squad, but a lot of versatility in the forward and center spots. Probably needs another guard (Seth?) and maybe an emergency center/PF at the end of the bench.
Really hope kawhi is just fucking with the lakers. The asshurt on here and twitter would be hilarious.
Elijah Rivera
I believe Nik Stauskas and Seth Curry are available for the minimum, Lakeshits.
Cameron Bennett
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
Caleb Watson
Kemba is better, what the fuck are you talking about, D'Angelo isn't worth the money he's gonna get
Hudson Nguyen
why do people think kuzma is good
Ryan Moore
Only if they offer him the max since he barely got paid with GS
Carson Gomez
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.
Matthew Martin
No one is giving him the max lol
Kevin Wood
>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
Jack Gutierrez
lakers signing kawhi would be the warriors on steroids, i pray it doesn't happen
Yoooo this man Kawhi might be the most smartest basketball player in the league.
Colton Carter

WE GOT THAT OVO MONEY BAYBEEEEEEEEE
Gavin Thomas
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.
Liam Barnes
Free agent guard Cory Joseph has agreed to a three-year, $37 million deal with the Sacramento Kings, league sources tell Yahoo Sports.
Jaxon Peterson
D'Lo is younger. They can raise an orphanage of players in Boston thru the years
Hunter Long
Probably Reddick on the bench and Jrue at the 2.
Tyler Smith
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.
Hunter Gray
>Kawhi is heard in the background he decided to go to the lakers WE FUCKING DID IT NIGGAS
>Kawhi to Lakers rumblings getting stronger and stronger. Igoudala likely to joing Lakers after Memphis buyout. Danny Green and Seth Curry in Lakers scope. Lakers offered vet minimum and 24 hours to decide. Lakers on verge of building a powerhouse.
Jeremiah Price
none of them can shoot like the warriors
are they just going to drive to the basket every possession?

I don't know about this one. I think the Kings would be better off with Yogi Ferrell

Zachary Stewart
>Willie Steinberg finally becomes elite >Kings rescind his rights for Cory fucking Joseph
Colton Gonzalez
>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.
Ayden Torres
>“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.”
Owen Thomas
He's gonna have to play like Klay 2.0 if he becomes a starter
Tyler Taylor
>Isaiah Thomas idk for some reason i thought he got a contract with NY, some faggot posted faked a tweet. muh bad.

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.
Zachary Brooks
JOEL EMBIID THE PROCESS
Grayson Cooper
Literally who?
Ryan Foster
also the same guy who leaked everything from the lakers internally during the trade deadline drama. quality source
Mason James
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.
David Williams
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
Oliver Myers
>he's still seething It's almost been 3 weeks, get over it, califag.
Iguodala for vet min to the Lakers is a solid move.
Aiden Green
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.
Juan Lee
Bucks going to be even more like the Rockets of the East now.
Levi Rogers
Indiana is the jazz of the east too
Luis Rodriguez
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.

Kevin Hernandez
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
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.
Charles Wood
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.
Blake Sullivan

Reminder that my beloved Lakies have a track record of closing the deal with FAs quite unlike that of any other franchise desu
Noah Torres
they have Irving and Durant now so they're probably going to compete with Milwaukee for home court in the playoffs
Matthew James
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?
Julian Roberts
I like they're young center Jarrett Allen, was a beast for me in fantasy.
Zachary Morgan

Colton King
>Pat Bev agrees to deal with Clippers

Isaac Brown
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.
Jeremiah Howard

assists, rebounds,per most advanced stats. Things besides choking against Milwaukee
Cameron Myers
lol this post gave me laugh
Oliver Gonzalez
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.
Sebastian Mitchell
pretty sure its mark cuban. basically, woops just kidding don't want dragic
>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.

Nathan Baker

Dominic Roberts
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
Joseph Collins
Isn't that exactly what the literal other Kerr-zyzewski did once while coaching Dook?
Easton Butler
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.

Knicks didn’t get one star this offseason but traded KP for cap space specifically instead of another player, which sucks. Got a ton of cap space to give out similarly shit deals to guys like Taj Gibson
Lucas Hughes
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.

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.

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.

>changing the culture is literally just flipping the best player on a bad team and otherwise stocking the roster with legitimate career G leaguers 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.
Uh most people know he’s a washed stat padder at this point
Connor Ross
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.
Leo Carter
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.
Kayden Rogers
To lose KD and Iggy is a pretty big hit,
Hudson Wilson
We're getting Rondo, Iggly, Kawhi, Curry and Green. Screencap this post. Also dubs.
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
David Morris
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.
Andrew Myers
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.
Jace Evans
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.
Nolan Phillips
Not defending those moves but Knox is shit
Ryder Williams
They traded Iguodala with a single first round pick with lowering protections to Memphis
Elijah Lopez
Frankly scared of what the Warriors are planning here.

Samuel Fisher
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.
Christian Ross
Literally scared that somehow the Warriors get Kawhi in all of this.
Matthew Brown
Wasn't Iggy still one of their best defenders
Ian Reyes
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
Joshua Miller
Kawhis coming home bros
Austin Flores
They’re gonna be tough to beat for that 8th seed.
Ayden White
spot defender. Iggy can shut someone down for a stretch but not all game. plus, he wasn't getting younger.
Joshua Cooper
I'm talking about the Russell move. Yall motherfuckers slept on the Warriors and look what happened the last 5 years. They aint stupid.
Juan Wright
With the options available to him I doubt he is.
Nolan Bennett
kawhi was injured against the warriors
Luke Baker
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
Wyatt Murphy
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.
Dominic Reed
pretty sure he had a bruised hip. bruising bones is fucking painful bro
Xavier Rogers
The Warriors without Durant won 72 games one year. To call them an 8th seed is not wise.
Ethan Cox
I bone your moms hips every night and she doesnt complain
Isaiah Martinez
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.
Nolan Lee
they're not trading curry, they need to keep all the tech boomers buying tickets
Colton Brown
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).
Jace Diaz
How many wins for the Pelicans next year?
John Baker
Is D'lo smart? Can he sell to springers?
Lincoln Cox
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
Luis Watson
56 on their way to the first seed in the west. Zion is MVP
Ian Cook
44. lose in 6 to houston first round
Mason Allen
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.
Jack Price
>(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.
Colton Walker
I don't see curry having MVP type of seasons he had in the past desu
Asher Morales
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.
Luke Nelson
what would /nba/'s reaction be to kawhi going to golden state?
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.
Logan Martinez
Literally fucking nuclear.
Chase Cook
I agree But who knows what kind of player KD will be when he comes back and he definitely ain't playing this season
Ryan Morgan
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.
Elijah Parker
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.
Christian Clark
Warriors may have the worse defense in the league next year.
Bentley Murphy
Ya but they'll average 130 or some shit and give up 150 so it'll be fun at least.
Daniel Foster
Average 130 without Klay or KD?
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
Owen King
Kerr about to be exposed for being a shit defense coach. He'll be gone in 3 years.
Adrian Ramirez
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.
Isaiah Wilson
>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
Parker Roberts
I guess you are expecting curry to avg 50-60 points
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.
Angel Reyes
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.
Cameron Williams
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.
Landon Brown
none of those 4 guys were at their peak during that season
William Martin
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.
Zachary Foster
>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
Matthew Powell
>$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?
Anthony Taylor
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.
Brandon Thomas
Tbh game winners during Finals is a pretty reasonable stat to use when evaluating someone who’s called the greatest shooter of all time.
Henry Ramirez
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)
Cameron Gutierrez
Warriors will be lucky to even make the playoffs this year.
Thomas Lopez
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.
So how long till the Kawhi to LA (Lakers) confirmed? can’t be more than 4 hours right?
Carter Myers
relocate the hornets to las vegas, switch memphis to eastern conference who agrees?

Noah Jones
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.

Cameron Taylor
we got enough West Coast teams, move they ass to St. Louis
Jace Long
They’d have an insane homecourt advantage there, opposing teams would get destroyed the night before the game.

Also your favorite player would be fucking lucky to shoot 40% in the finals. Get some perspective.
Ryan Torres
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.
Kayden Johnson
Get off Yea Forums Westbrick.
Nicholas Flores
93881416 stay on topic, we aren't talking about whether he's good, we're talking about whether he's clutch. he isn't. curry is a faggot who has relied on klay to save his reputation one too many times. he's about to get fucking EXPOSED this season

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.
Tyler Price
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.
Wyatt Stewart
Those two aren’t nearly as bad defensively as booker and Russell
Parker Torres

Owen Evans

Justin Hernandez
When KD joined the Warriors Curry wasn't leading shit
Evan Lee
Ah yes, coming to conclusions on players based on if they are lucky enough to hit a buzzer beater. My favorite episode of /nba/.
Mason Diaz
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.
Dominic Reed
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?
Jonathan Murphy
I mean he just took the Warriors to 2 straight finals before that, including beating Lebron with scraps..........
Nathan Gutierrez
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.

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.
Jaxson Nguyen
If Harris is their 2nd option I'm not afraid of them in the least
Joshua Reed
"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
Adam Bell
lol I was trolling on that specific post good night I love you
Grayson Cooper
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
Easton Scott
Unironically a good idea. Raiders should get one for Antonio Brown too.
Gabriel Ortiz
what the fuck makes a team "super"?
Mason Davis
>D. Rose, Blake, Drummond >Coach: Casey
Should we be scared of this team?
David Williams
Why even bother with conferences then lol
Ryder Thomas
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
Ryder Flores
why would you ever be scared of a team with derrick rose?
Bentley Campbell
harris is the perfect second option, an efficient 20ppg scorer
Hudson Harris
>a number to keep this from being arbitrary meme bullshit, you actually have to pick a number.
Isaac Price
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
John Lopez
76ers are trying to win a championship. you don’t win a championship with tobias as your 2nd scorer
Anthony Cook
Something tells me this is exactly the type of team Lakeshits will lose to next year
Michael Jackson
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.
Eli Moore
I like how being a team that wins the finals is second to being a super team.
Jacob Baker
the Raptors just won the chip with basically Siakam and vanvleet as the secondary scoring options you retard
Ian Martinez
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"
Blake Allen
Tobias Harris is the most literal who high paid player currently
Brayden Walker
pretty sure the spurs' second option was manu and in 94 the rockets second option was otis thorpe
Anthony Murphy
KAWHIS COMING HOME. HES A LAKER I HAVE IT ON GOOD AUTHORITY!!
Andrew Sanders
thats a good metric actually, two top10 guys and another regular allstar (i.e top 15-20)
Isaac Diaz
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
Aaron Foster
Hey having Dwight, Bogut, Bargs, Rose, Wall, Wiggins, Bennett and Fultz would be a super (tank) squad.
Bentley Taylor
>Free agent guard Ish Smith has agreed to a two-year, $12M deal with the Washington Wizards, league sources tell @TheAthleticNBA @Stadium. zzzzzzzz
Ian Edwards
>two top10 guys and another regular allstar (i.e top 15-20) not a single team fits this criteria.
Ian Carter
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
Carter Allen
Lakers, Nets
Dylan Kelly
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
Sebastian Flores
I like how you bend the rules of what a super team is just so the Warriors aren't one. Pathetic.
Adam Wilson
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
Easton Turner
t. Tobias fuck off you dollar store J Cole
Dominic Rodriguez
>Reading comprehension
Andrew Long
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?
Gabriel Parker
current team
Nathaniel Wood
So Brooklyn gets the Warriors 2024 pick?
Gabriel James
No, the Cavs are not a superteam, can't you read?
Charles King
>Cavs Lebron/ kyrie + love >Warriors Curry/Durant + klay/Drayboon >Heat Lebron/dwade + Bosh
>even the Bulls sort of fit Jordan/rodman + (the defence and rebounding was that good0
>showtime Lakers Johnson/Kareem + Worthy
probably others too
Probably Nets in a bit too if Levert gets really good
Camden Ward
current team? then no, assuming kawhi stays in toronto for another two seasons
Aiden Murphy
yup, and its gonna be a lottery pick because lol at the warriors in 2024.

who will D'Angelo snitch on this time? Curry??? will he finally make Curry divorce with Ayesha?
KD is better offensively. 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.
Jonathan Long
Why do you want to see a divorce between two couples?

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.

Liam Green
only a low class woman doesnt keep that type of shit private
Dylan Torres
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.
Easton Bailey
