we're making the finals no doubt about it
Happy 4th of July /nba/
t-thanks
what is there to think about? if you haven't decided by now just flip a coin or something, obviously you're too stupid to pick, like come on if nobody's wowed you yet what are you waiting for
Reminder that Kawhi won't announce anything until tomorrow and to enjoy your Merca Day
How the FUCK do I get cute light skinned BLACK gf with cute curly hair
*tip*
Uh, excuse me? racist and sexist much? Fuck drumpf and fuck july 4th you cracker
Kahwi is a bitch
I actually buy Chris Broussard's explanation that he wants to go to the Lakers but is hesitating based on how well the trio of him, LeBron, and AD would work
white woman
black man
Lakers fans already giving up I see
Just woke up to an ant crawling on me
he should be concerned about the fact that there is 0 load management
I love America.
does he think he'll just wake up one day and decide everything works or not? Part of free agency is stepping into the unknown. He won't know if he's a good fit until he tries it
I would think that a team with two other superstars would be the easiest place to manage your load. The Raptors now have a bull's-eye on their back as NBA champs. They'll have trouble when he takes his nights off
i'm pretty sure he already decided, just doesn't want to announce now
i would check your urethra mate. get a flashlight and some fishing line
That's just it. it's about weighing the risk versus the reward. It's hard for a return to the Raptors to go wrong but a move to the Lakers is how he can become a legend
What you're actually looking for is a North African.
t. North African with curly hair
both those other superstars are also prone to injury you need a robust bench for LM which the lakers dont have, the raptors went what 15-2 without him they even beat healthy GSW with KD its a proven bench
Nobody cared about the Raptors last year and now they'll get their best from every team. The Lakers would just play two out of three of their trio on most nights, make the playoffs as a lower seed, flip the switch and blow everybody out when the playoffs starts
Most of the time was spent traveling to each team and meeting with them. He literally just got back home late yesterday. He's just the only autist who didn't go around during the season to do all this and actually waited until after he won the hip to do this stuff.
wait how'd that make him a legend and not a massive pussy
lebrons an ironman. only injured ONCE in his entire 17 year career, and it was a groin injury not something that lingers like an acl tear
Old mate at the pub just told me Kawhi to Lakers is already done.
history is written by the winners
I just found out Kawhi and Tony Snell were on the same high school team.
Your mate is a liar.
my dad called me to tell me kawhi to the lakers was done. I asked him what his source was and he said "it was trending on twitter". Old people have idea what the fuck they're talking about
You need HCA
My rabbi just texted me and said Kawhi is staying in Toronto and converting to Judaism
it does make him a massive pussy, it's a lakers fan making a case for him to join them, he would be way more of a legend being the dynasty slayer that he is than joining one
Because he would be a Laker and not a Canadian
Happy 'Murrica Day souther friends :3
Silver pls
he didn't join a dynasty, how many rings have the lakers recently won without him? he would be creating one
>Reports that during the meeting Drake offered to produce Kawhi's debut R&B album on his OVO record label
nigga what
there's more lakers fans worldwide than every other fanbase combined, especially if kawhi were to join. If >50% of people believe you're a legend it doesn't matter what everyone else thinks.
I can confirm
Thank goodness I’m a warriors fan.
same shit, it didn't happen yet but if he joins them they will be a dynasty
The lakers organization is like Donald Trump
And it’s fans are the followers that believe in everything they say
based
the absolute delusion
>The lakers organization is like Donald Trump
and that's a good thing
>Thank goodness I’m a warriors fan.
tig if brue
And?
Laker nation apparently has people outside one of Kawhi’s relatives home. Should this be a concern?
hello wher is kawhi
Only if Kahwi doesn’t make the right choice of course.
Yes. The family should have called the police for this.
There's only ever 3 teams that are relevant in basketball. The Lakers, the champions, and whatever team Lebron's on. When Bron nation and Laker nation you nited, we achieved 2/3 of the power of the entire NBA. Once Lebron and AD win a chip together the rest of the basketball world won't even matter.
Kawhi can choose to be with us or against us, but know if he fails to win a chip he will become irrelevant for the rest of his career.
Can't they just start shooting at them for trespassing or some shit
>implying the police aren’t Laker fans
Hahahahhaha. Kawhi’s family gonna be meeting his pops soon if he doesn’t become a Laker
Outside is public property.
>Literally killing their chances in winning a title
status on bol bol??????????
maybe in texas they can, but in LA? No, especially not since kawhi's family is black. The LAPD are always looking for reasons to arrest a minority
shook
currently undergoing a spongebob tattoo
Kawhi is literally putting his family in danger by delaying his decision. There are real people in the real world who could get harmed for his decision
He should take that into account
damn, ben simmons actually kinda cute.
So when Kawhi re-signs lakers vs raps confirmed to be one of the Christmas games right
Then tell all Lakers fan to fuck off his family. God, people are stupid and autistic.
I don’t have control over other peoples actions. I’m just saying there’s a real risk
we coulda had jimmy butler if we didn't have to wait on kawhi's black ass
it's gonna be lakers pelicans
Continue to convince lakers fans to stand down.
Lakers haven’t been relevant in years, it’s the champs and whatever team Lebron is on.
People in the real world don’t care this much about some millionaires decision. I live in SoCal and no one is gonna kill Kawhi’s family in real life
Stop being autistic.
>damn, ben simmons actually kinda cute.
How can I convince radio callers on ESPN LA and Laker Reddit to not go crazy on the family
lakers fans don't live in real life, we live in Laker's paradise
People in LA don’t kill other people for sports teams
I live in Lakers paradise but I’m a Warriors fan for life!
FUCK KD
FUCK KD
FUCK KD
FUCK KD
Kevin Durant could have joined my Celties back in 2017 and everything would have been hunky dorie. Dude coulda been a Celties legend, but noooo he had to join the Warriors and ruin his whole career
SKIIIIIIUUUUUP buff af
wasnt the goal to win a ring
Ok so Kawhi doesn’t care about his family’s personal safety
They’re all going to have to move or have a personal security detail everywhere the go then because if he doesn’t come, best believe Laker Twitter is to track his family’s every move
So is the Warrior dynasty effectively over? or is it on hold?
>wasnt the goal to win a ring
it's dead
Dead
Depends on how Klay comes back from his injury. If he comes back like then it's over
Its dead. Bury it.
they almost won a championship without KD, and now they got D-Lo. I'm thinking the warriors are back
>lose 4-2
>almost won
It's over. Shittiest dynasty of all time desu. Not once did they beat a legit full strength team. The one time they had to face a full strength team they blew a 3-1 lead. They are pathetic.
The big 3 of Draymond Klay and Steph are pushing mid 30s almost, and one of them has an ACL tear, although ACL's are not that bad to come back from, it still takes a year off his playtime.
I do think they're done. They probably wont pay Draymond what he's due also, and he'll probably leave.
I’m pretty sure he cares for his family. This scare tactics the Lakers fans are doing should stop. Leave the family out the decision.
Daily Reminder
FUCK THE ROCKETS
FUCK CP3
>Dray, Klay and Steph are pushing mid 30s almost
>29, 29 and 31 years old
Rondo a little bitch lmao bum ass nigga didn't even hurt based CP3
Why should they? It’ll give something for Kawhi to think about
Just scaring didn’t work on PG13 and my fears are they’ll act on it. Oh well.
my bulls are making the playoffs
dumb haters will disagree
lol he is such a pussy
FUCK CP3
yes that's what almost won means
>New Balance leaks their #Kawhistays promo all over downtown
It's finally over. We did it bros..
shouldn't u be training to improve ur game Lauri
Thats why i said "pushing" and "almost"
;)
almost won means you were in a position to win
gsw never lead and were never in a position to close the series
they lost
Are laker fans really threatening Kawhi’s family? Why?
How come I'm not getting high when I smoke?
They did the same thing to PG lol fucking scum spics think basketball is life
Want to escape their hellhole so badly they project reality onto NBA games
Kill yourself pussy
Don't forget that they should have lost of the rockets in 2018 if Chris Paul didn't get hurt in the final seconds of game 5
I don't think you can get high from smoking cock
oh my god! they're awful monsters!
It’s not Laker fans. It’s a few Laker fans
Vegas is basically guaranteeing Kawhi will stay in Toronto. Lakers fans are mad.
>SKEEEEPPP
Just like Rondo all talk no bite are you gonna sucker punch me next with your brittle little branch arms lmao
So they're Lakers fans and they want to kill a person for not playing on their shit team?
Lakers fans are scum
Shut the fuck up you dirty Spic animal. Keep LA out of your mouth
Threepeating is hard, why do players today seem to get hurt so much more often?
Kawhi is 100% going to the Knicks.
CuckP3 please stop choking in the playoffs
what are the book odds right now
Or what? What are you going to do, Juan?
99% of Laker fans aren’t that autistic. Maybe a few Laker fans would hurt Kawhi’s family for unjustifiably not coming to the Lakers, but by and large the rest of us know we’ll win it all anyways
It’s whether he wants to be part of a sure thing or not
>US flag
>Juan
K.
Steven A legit looked like he was going to commit suicide first day of free agency. Wonder how do Knick fags cope with the heartache?
mow the lawn pedro
I really believe if we run it back with the same squad and nobody gets injured, it’s a 2peat.
Warriors are done
Rockets are trash
Nets have to wait a year
Philly might be tough
Bucks are trash
Blazers are trash
Nuggets are trash
Lakers are trash
man SAS is really hurting right now bros, he's really not in a good place
Last I remembered all of LA rioted after they won in 2010
>Warriors are done
You barely beat them with half the team dead. I would bet the Warriors over the Raptors in a seven-game series right now in a heartbeat
my nigga Kawhi doing a sign + trade with the Wizards. we gonna have John Wall, Bradley Beal, and Kawhi Leonard. who says no
its dead, dismembered, dissolved in acid and taken away in bags
Kill yourself
Did the whole city burn down or a few cars?
People can’t be that gullible that laker fans would hurt Kawhi’s family
Warriors with who? Steph, DLo, and Draymond?
Lmao
Outside of his reactions after the draft I feel that ESPN has been milking his reactions for views and ratings.
He really looked hurt when the Knicks got the 3rd pick but his pre-FA and post-FA antics and forced drama look scripted and fake as hell.
If Rondo was an assistant coach for my Celties he could have beat the fuck outta Lyrie and benched him against the bucks and we would have won
Why would Leonard join the w*z lmao Wall is finished, Beal needs to gtfo before he wastes the next 7 years of his prime in DC, and now Rui is about to waste away in DC lmao
Clippers on suicide watch
of course they are. his entire personality is fake
>Philly might be tough
They lost the only guy that made that series competitive and they still have absolutely no depth
>spics on /nba/
lmao we look at you like landscapers
Blow it all up, waive Wall, and build around nintendonigger
There’s only a few posters with Latin American flags
Klay Thompson would be back for the finals.
The strongest 1-2 punch in the NBA
I wish we had summer league on 4th of july like we did last year.
god this warriors vs heat game is so bad.
>50-53 with 8minutes left in the 4th
oh brother
>Kawhi will sign with OVO
>and the Lakers
JUST
Cringe

Give them Kevin Durant and Raptors in 7

I am going to announce me decision later today .
raptors would have lost in 4 if the warriors had kd though
I should have never given you niggas money
no one cares danny
And now the will never have KD again

that's not the point
I live in riverside a few blocks away from where Kawhi went to HS. AMA
DLo is going to damage the chemistry of the Warriors, massive mistake
they could have made a move for strong role players, filled out their rotation and had a chance to be contenders if Klay came back.
based
why does LA suck so bad
Riverside isn’t LA? We’re 60 miles or 100 kilometers away
Is Hamilton part of Toronto?
Why are you so poor?
i fucking did it
Bad financial planning. I used to live in Anaheim
>Riverside isn’t LA
Fuck off retard
they are going to keep him until December to help win a few extra games then trade him because Klay will be coming back for the playoffs, lmao
hes literally purely a trade asset and he knows it too
>dlo leaks video of curry banging instathots
DLo is unironically based he's the hero we need to keep these thirsty ass niggas in check
based
>$122 million
LMAO the wizards are so fucking retarded. No way Wall was ever worth that, even when healthy
t. Thinks Vegas is greater LA
Did you know that the US Census defines riverside-san Bernardino as the 11th largest metro in the US?
>Michael Porter Jr. suffered a left knee sprain during a scrimmage Wednesday night, and is unlikely to play in Las Vegas Summer League.

OH NONONONO
He can’t sign until July 6th
>Nuggets rookie Michael Porter Jr: “I’m expecting to dominate” at Summer League
how sad is the state of the nba that its best player is an injured autist who can't make up his mind? Past eras had Jordan, Kobe, and Lebron, guys who could walk into a room and instantly become the center of attention.
The face of this era is literally just some guy who wears new balance from bumfuck san antonio. And he's not even that good
???
We're entering the Cuck Era of the NBA. There will never be another player as dominant as MJ or Lebron.
>he doesn't know all of the deals so far are verbal agreements
If you hate Drake then you're trying too hard. Guy is living the dream.

giannis isn't injured though
any time someone starts talking about drake, kendrick lamar, post malone or whatever the fuck I tune them out instantly. That's when I know they're a zoomer
Raptors could barely beat a depleted Warriors squad and terrible bench. Went 6 games. Needed Klay to get hurt and he did. Kawhi is gone.
Cap cap cap
youtube.com
take me back to 2012 bros... drake was really the hottest in the game back then
Raptors would have sweep Warriors in 4 if it wasnt for ref ball. You all know this
It’s hot up in the 6 right now
>Handing out huge contract to middle-low tier allstar player despite 0 chance of them leading team to a ring just to avoid being a tanking team
Is there a worse team building strategy than this?
>Pistons with Drummond
>Wizards with Wall
>Hornets triied to with Kemba but he left
guarantees an easy kill team in the playoffs if they even make it that far.
Imagine being a Knick fan. Your team only had like 2 playoff appearances in the last decade. They've sucked for multiple years now, but you try to justify it in your head because muh tanking muh developing the Unicorn. Then Porzingas dies. Then he is traded. But hey it is ok to suck now because you are going to get Zion and enough cap space for 2 max players. And if you miss on Zion, you'll at least get a veteran star or 2, right? But then Silver changes the lotto odds. That's ok, you still have the best odds right? Then you fall to #3 in a 2 person draft. Then day 1 of free agency comes and you wiff on all big names, and Brooklyn signs the big names isntead. Then you sign floatsam and jetsam to 2 year deals. Your team is guaranteed to suck for 2 more years. And all illusions of any big name FA signing is gone now. You might as well be a small market team, but you have one of the worst owners in the league. You will never improve your team through smart trades and deals. Your team will just continue to suck. And Dolan is only 64 years old.
shut up with this stupid ass word
he still is dog
Anyone read One Piece in here
you forgot this memer:
>khris middleton
This post was made by a virgin.
teams that do this know they won't win a chip. They make all their money off of the Lakers and Warriors playing in their stadium once a year and just want to be good enough that they're no blown out every time
Nah he makes some hitters but dude is washed
Stop capping then

KAWHI TORE HIS QUAD DURING THE BUCKS SERIES
FUUUUUUUCK
what would Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Jerry West, and Wes Unseld average in today's NBA if they were in their prime and had modern medicine?
my guesses:
>Wilt
25/20/3/1/4
>Russell
10/12/4/2/2
>West
20/4/6/2/0.5
>Unseld
10/8/3/1/1
we saw this right
twitter.com
I played MORDHAU again with Kawhi last night (he's a bardiche main for anyone wondering) he told me he's gonna resign with the raptor.
Fuck Kahwi
>Drake heavily involved
is there a reason NBA fans, players, and managements care so much about this fucking child molester?
Yes, Drake is a fucking idiot to think that sort of pitch will work when the other team is the Los Angeles Lakers
Kawhi only cares about basketball and winning. If that's really what Drake pitched to him, the Rapties are fucked.
you better believe kawhi only listens to opera music
Post your victory music when Kawhi goes to the team you wanted him to go
If Kawhi doesn’t come to the Lakers, what happens to his family in SoCal? Is he going to leave them unprotected here?
Lakers fans should at least give them a head start to get out of the country and never return
Who else felt that in LA? That was an earthquake
West would get more rebounds than that. He had a good wingspan even compared to the modern game and in his prime averaged 7 despite being a perimeter player. A shame they only kept track of blocks/steals his last season as an old and busted player.
>Earthquake in LA
What did Kawhi mean by this
Wilt would get locked up lmao
you forgot whatever two teams that have the guys statpadding for MVP.
It was live on Colin Cowherd
Yeah, I felt it. Looks like God Hates America
Serious question, do black people celebrate 4th of July?
holy fuck lads im on the throne and the entire house is shaking beneath me, i had to grip the counter to not fall off. earthquakes sre crazy. also kawhi to lakers is basically done
bruh Drake hit dat
Me. I felt it while watching wimbledork.
>nikki menage
>Serena Williams
>Rihanna
>Kim Kardashian
they are not children
Portland with Dame
We’ll shake the heavens and earth to get Kawhi!!!!!
who this
when i found out her ass was 3x bigger than her head this webm was ruined
You forgot Doris Burke
Apparently there was an earthquake in Canada too several hours ago.
The fuck is going on?
>drake fucked some fat whore
he also fucked a 14 year-old. why should i like or care about him? he should be getting assraped by nigs in prison
My mom in Vegas just told me they had an earthquake. Which is it?
if steph made that 3 you never know what could happen in game 7.
Kawhi to the San Jose Quakes=Warriors.
Hahah why the FUCK would Kawhi willingly go back to that homeless, queer infested, dirty, crime ridden, fault line shithole?
I know. Toronto is a crazy city.
Vegas is Greater LA.
Also the epicenter was in Ridgecrest which is close to both LA and Vegas
yeah, didn't drake disappear after everyone was calling him a pedo? then he came back during the playoffs and everyone forgot
Costa Mesa reporting it. felt it here I didn’t bother getting off my couch I’m hungover as fuck
he did. just as it started becoming a thing around february or march he totally disappeared and waited for it all to blow over. i noticed that too, it really fucking pissed me off
Isn't there some catastrophic earthquake that's supposed to happen soon that'll cut California in half or something lmao why would Kawhi want to go back to LA
what if kawhi is secretly fighting some sort of super powered alien and that's why he's taking so long to decide? That explains the earthquakes just now, he's raising his power level. and also why he wants so much secrecy, and why he walks with a limp
is this a surprise? Drake is a ((())))
Who else hoping for The Decision part 2?
that's the obvious reason he clowned around so much during the playoffs, to be remembered for that and not fucking a 14 year old
Yeah and Toronto will be engulfed with a snowstorm that will bring the Next Ice Age.
No joke I live in the LA area and we just had a pretty big earthquake about 5 minutes ago. Like my bed was shaking and shit.
Was kind of exciting desu.
EARTHQUAKE IN LA AREA. KAWHI CONFIRMED
The Decision was leaked the morning before it happened. This will be a true blindside to everyone
>magnitude 6.6
that's nothing, literally barely felt it
did one of you lakerbros make a big stinky poopoo on the streets and cause an earthquake by accident?
usatoday.com
r. kelly too, what's with the music industry
the sixers must think kawhi is leaving, having horford and embiid is a move to stop giannis. if kawhi stays he's going to murder simmons again, nevermind the fact they have no one that can ISO at the end of games.
>literally a 3.0 at best
>continue on like nothing happened
i might be concerned if some dishes started flying off the shelves
lasted a while
To me it felt like undulating waves, like at first they were intense, then it just felt almost relaxing.
Also the epicenter was actually over 100 miles away, so its actually pretty incredible that we felt anything to begin with.
>not fucking a 14 year old
No proof
>I highly recommended gundam iron blooded orphans
"Look I know that basketball is a team game and you already made michael number one, but if you had to have wilt against Michael. My prime and his prime. How much money would you be willing to bet?"
i'm in north carolina and I felt a rumble
>“I love him,” she said, adding that he is “a great friend and a great role model.” “We just texted each other the other day and he was like ‘I miss you so much,’ and I was like ‘I miss you more,’ he’s great,” the 14-year-old Brown continued.
>Wilt would get locked up lmao
Is the quake a sign that Kawhi will sign with the Lakers?
Youre a lying sack of shit. Im in norcal and didnt feal anything
Kawhi is a G Gundam chad
remember the northridge quake? imagine driving on the freeway and then the floor collapses
i didnt feel a thing
>OOGA BOOGA DUNKING
>im in north carolina and I felt a rumble
6.6 magnitude earthquake just hit LA? yea im thinking KAWHIS JUST LANDED IN TOWN BABY
Maybe he felt to rumbling of his neighbors’ bed because they are fucking hard.
>Wilt would get locked up lmao
Reminder wilt wasn't allowed to use his strength to back down defenders. In the mordern day game he would and no one would be able to stop him
what's the deal with the new lottery odds again?
worst record team has a safety net at #5 right? They can't finish dead last and pick any lower than #5 right?
>LA literally rumbling for kawhi
nah that was ayesha she did a jumping jack
YOOOOOOO LIL NAS A FLAMER?
BRUH WHAT
It's called a double team
2 of the past 3 fraud MVPs main skill was dunking.
yes
it's a very stupid system though. in theory it prevents tanking, but it also totally fucks over small market franchises that no one ever wants to sign with in free agency. cities like LA, SF and (theoretically) NY get big free agent signings by virtue of them being LA and SF and NY, meanwhile no one would ever want to sign with Charlotte even if it were well-managed.
Dumbass how many times are you gonna post this shit. I want a real response for what I'm about to say.
During Wilt Chamberlain career, the game of basketball was played much differently than today. The goal was to get up as many shots as possible even if its 2 seconds into a possession or a highly contested shot. With that kind of play it made it ridiculously easy for players like Wilt Chamberlain to dominate. Pair that up with 6'5 white centers. And you get Wilt Chamberlain getting 50+ rebounds or 100 points on the reg.
Take any player with good height and wingspan and put them in the same era. Hassan Whiteside and DeAndre Jordan would be just as dominant.
wilt could bench 500 lbs and was 7 feet tall and an Olympic sprinter
>i'm in north carolina and I felt a rumble
I miss people all the time. that doesn't mean i ducked them
i mean you're right in a few parts but Wilt was literally Westbrook-tier speeds at 7 foot 1. MJ vs Wilt is a stupid matchup, who the fuck puts a guard up against a center thinking it's a fair battle
>Celshits
>wilt could bench 500 lbs
>G Gundam
Fuck now I hope kawhi goes wherever makes him happy
bust out the fireworks and get another quake to sink Lakeshits forever
if you can get niggas to live in hicktown Klan flyover Utah/Indy/Portland/OKC then they'll play anywhere for a paycheck
Kawhi needs to make a decision FAST.
that's the way it should be. What team sports come down to is that my city > your city. All the good cities deserve good teams. If you want a good team maybe make your city a more desirable place to live, or have kids that grow up there and want to stay that are also good at the sport. None of this commie "everyone gets a turn" bullshit
Another reminder that Kawhi will not make a decision until tomorrow.
Didn’t black ball just end?
Every game wilt would get punched, elbowed, kneed, and pushed. No nba player got more abused than wilt Chamberlain. The refs would allow it bc wilt was 7'3 300 pound with a 40+ vertical
not really that impressive. Anyone who've lived all their life can bench that.
It increases tanking. The Pelicans tanked and wanted to sit AD out every game so they could tank even more and won the lottery. The Mavs sat out Doncic multiple games so they could try and retain their lottery pick. As long as a team is hopelessly bad, they will tank and if a 15-win team isn't improving much they will continue to tank for longer than if the odds were on their side

>Anyone who've lived all their life
deep,,,,,
why doesn't MJ just fill his front office and roster with alumni/players from UNC and Kentucky?
not like any other colleges are relevant and everyone knows Dookies are houseniggers
Hes a great athlete like Whiteside or DeAndre Jordan is. He could play in today's game but only in a limited roll considering his offensive game. And it's hard to say how he would fair in today's game on the defensive side of the ball when you consider every big name player runs and exploits pick and rolls to get matched up on Centers for easy buckets practically every possession.
if they don't like tanking then do a lottery tournament for all the shit teams. would be entertaining honestly
You talking about Toronto?
twitter.com
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
meant lifted
It increased tanking for bubble/fringe playoff teams. Why be an 8th seed and get BTFO by the #1 seed when you can get a chance at #1 draft pick instead? Lakers and Pelicans were both rewarded for late season tanking. NBA needs to incentivize teams making those lower seeds.
why do people say that about players from duke?
This isn't breaking news. This was his plan from the beginning and was reported by multiple insiders.
>breaking news
i wrote a song for kawhi can someone forward it to him?
so the bottom feeders are losing on purpose, and then the fringe playoff teams are losing on purpose
how exactly did creating more teams who lose on purpose do anything to help the nba
>dragging it out this long
what the fuck. it's not hard. LA or Toronto. You spent a year in Toronto. You know LA your home town pick one
American whitebois have no place in the NBA sand any brother that makes it into Duke is either an oreo or they bent the qualifications so he could be a """""student athlete"""""" there
what if someone shot a buzzer beater and it rimmed out due to an earthquake?
I don't understand why ANY NBA player would choose to play in Toronto if they had a choice. It's basically agreeing to play for like 10-15% less than you'd make in the states due to taxes. Maybe more, because they tax you at the highest rate over like 220k in Canada vs like 600k in the states.
Remember that the Lakers didn't emerge as a realistic option until a week ago. He never had a chance to think them over
snopes.com
He never said that
Yeah players are gonna play really hard to ascertain the best amateur available to replace them
which is why I think he's already decided on LA. He's just looking for the right way to turn down Toronto since they're a clingy ex gf right now and doesn't want them turning psycho on him
Colin Cowherd just announced from Cris Carter that there will be no decision today
A longer thinking process has to be good for the Lakers
>snopes
His family probably does, lots of people commenting on his instagram. He's 5'11, wonder if he's any good
he could bench over 450 at like 19 years old
he was over 7 feet tall, super fast, 46 or 48 inch vertical, can bench 500 and dead lift 700
>being this naive
Yeah, and AD was serious when he put the Bucks on his desired destinations list.
if they get a money bonus. split the extra tv money it would produce.
NBA jews are retards and anyone with a brain predicted this. Having 0 lotto and only the worst team getting the bottom pick would actually lower tanking because it would be too competitive to actually get the #1 pick and only a couple teams would then try. Having no draft at all would probably eliminate tanking altogether, but all the other effects might be hard to predict.
Even when AD was first traded, they didn't have the cap space until the second trade with the Wizards
how come ad was able to strongarm his way to la and kawaii wasn't?
I don't know, doesn't seem like they could be paid enough to really incentivize them to play hard. I'd love to watch it too, but the deeper you go in the lottery the more likely you're putting your team in position to draft a better player.
Tons of players wouldn't even want to get a better draft pick. You think DeAngelo would play hard in a tournament knowing the Lakers were aiming for Lonzo to replace him?
that was one of the worst moves the lakers have ever made
Sitting Bagley for Bjelica for stretches would surround Fox with Hield, Barnes, Bjelica, and Dedmon. Not many teams can stretch the floor like that for their point guard. Those fast breaks would be insane
because AD didn't play for a team that autistically hates the lakers and refuse to trade him to a team making a fair offer out of sheer vindictiveness
enjoy defrozen, poopovich
the pelicans constantly played games with the lakers and refused kuzma during the season
>kawhi the fake autist is an attention whore
surprise surprise
Lakers aren't going to be good either in the foreseeable future.
thats not true, they had space to trade for AD, the wizards trade gave them space for a third max player.
Im saying, Kawhi has made his decision, he's just enjoying all this attention he's getting for the first time in his career.
it wasn't just pops hate for the lakers. pop wanted to send kawhi to the most frigid graveyard for superstars ever and kawhi autistically carried them to a chip. he even met with kerr to give him tips on him
anyone with a brain was saying all along NOLA had no reason whatsoever to deal davis to anyone any ealier than this summer
dell demps may have been fucking around with them i guess? but no surprise he got canned
waiting paid off hugely for them - lakers not getting AD and missing the playoffs resulted in them getting 2 top four picks this year
If KD comes back, they make the Finals twice and lose where does he rank all time?
if KD makes the finals they're winning it
Kahwi is a drama queen
They turned deangelo into Lonzo who ended up being a piece the pelicans demanded for ad. The nets weren’t 100% in on dlo which is why the booted him when lyrie showed up even though dlo is younger and an all star somethings up lad.
Not if they play Kawhi, old Lebron, and AD with playoff Rondo.
This was Ainge's dream:
Davis, Horford, Hayward, Smart, Kyrie
This is Ainge's nightmare:
Kanter, Tatum, Jaylen, Smart Kemba
What a sad turn of events.
if kawhi stays in toronto pop wins
Good.
Fuck LA
Nice story but none of that has to do with what we are talking about.
there needs to be some kind of NBA Competition Committee that actually reviews cases of tanking and doles out punishments
if a team like the Knicks or Charlotte are losing games because they have literally the worst rosters full of dogshit G Leaguers, is it really tanking? If a team has been retarded and cucks themselves with shitty contracts or has bad luck with injuries, I don't think you can hold them in the same tier as tankers
NFL gives the top pick to the worst team, but it's harder to tank and one player will not save a team. MLB gives top pick to the worst team, and the team still needs excellent prospect development to make it a success. NHL only introduced tanking because ONE team got the top pick forever and they were staffed by idiots, but follows the baseball model otherwise.
NBA is the sole league with dumb draft rules, roster restrictions, retardedly skewed talent pools, retarded contract values, racial identity, player cliques, etc. (((Silver))) is more interested in Latino Night, woman refs, and a Vancouver Team than fixing this fucking mess
This country is fucked, some faggot betas paid $30 for a fake gamer girl's bathwater
who is D'angelo snitching on the Warriors btw, Curry? Kevon Looney? Draymond?
Just make the lottery completely random, no one and done.

Kerr. He guys to those 14 year old poor black teens and fucks them.
Kyrie
Smart
Tatum (rookie)
Horford
Davis
Would have been a legendary team
Curry definitely has a side chick(s) but I feel like Ayesha has some sort of deal with him that allows him to keep side bitches
Why are you guys assuming Steph is cheating on his wife? He is a good husband.
i would pay 30$ just for 15 minutes of doing whatever i want with her
He has to fuck her once a week for him to have side hoes and her not divorce him/take 80% of his shit.

Id just get a $5 molly, get her off of it, do whatever I want for an hour. Get Wendy’s and some gas

TOP TEN WORST CONTRACTS SO FAR:
1. Tobias Harris: 5yrs, 180 million
2. Kevin Durant: 4yrs, 164 million
3. Khris Middelton: 5yrs, 178 million
4. D'Angelo Russell: 4yrs, 117 million
5. Kemba Walker: 4yrs, 141 million
6. Harrison Barnes: 4yrs, 85 million
7. Kristaps Porzingis: 5 years, 158 million
8. Ben Simmons: 5yrs, 168 million
9. Al Horford: 4yrs, 109 million
10. Ricky Rubio: 3rs, 51 million
Dishonorable Mention: Julius Randle 3 yrs, 63 million
if anything she's the one cucking him, he's a degenerate footfag beta.
why would Swaggy P even cheat on Iggy fucking Azalea btw? seems like a bad move
Tobias Harris on most teams is just a premium version of a Morris twin or Kyle Kuzma with micro transactions applied. On the 76ers with that spacing and playmaking he might as well be KD
If you really hated it, you would put it upon yourself to change male culture, but clearly you don't care, and you don't want to do anything
This is a good list, doesn't include Wall, Westbrook, and CP3 though
>2. Kevin Durant
Cope lol
Any team with 2+ All-Stars or a Championship in the prior 4 years should be excluded from Round 1 of draft night desu
This general supports Bernie, Tulsi and Yang; they would propose the same prospect sharing if we were fortunate enough to have any of them as our Commissioner
I feel like most black men are taught to cheat growing up, it’s pretty much a given if he’s attractive or hood.
>they gave ben simmons a 5 year monster contract and he can't even shoot
holy fuck the 76ers are screwed if he doesn't improve
the rubio contract isnt bad. I'd rather have him than randle.
imagine paying khris middleton 36 million a year
worse than fucking hayward
desu i might buy it IF she films herself peeing in the bath before she bottles it. how the fuck do I know she didn't just get it from the sink? I need video proof she took a bath with it, and didn't just hope in the water real quick either, she needs to leave some of her nasty body juices with it
Julius Randle gets the most empty stars ever and the way he scores (put backs, pump fakes, drop steps, post spins) is not efficient. I am telling you his one season shooting average from 3pt is a fluke and he has never played defense at any point in his career
I'm gonna remember this the next time some fat cunt talks about equality or wage gaps
Am I the only one who thinks it's extremely ironic that this Nets dude is typing "cope" to everyone who talks bad about KD and Kyrie?
Fuck, I'll never make even a hundredth as much money in my lifetime.
this
I'd only buy it if I knew she also peed in the same water
Bros. How the fuck do i move to a new state within the next 2 years and I'm broke.? Also is Arizona a good place to live?

really fair deal we got here fellas
Theres no basis for saying KD will come back far worse than he was. No player of KD's age and caliber has suffered this injury, so we can't speak on his recovery process. Even then, lesser players like Wilkins and Gay made somewhat returns to their previous forms. If anyone can make a full comeback then its KD.
nice triple
you think so? i would say she's at least a 7
yeah i can see that
middleton contract seems like a possible parson 2.0 scenario
Knicks are gonna be legit unwatchable unless this RJ Barrett is the real deal out the gate
KD is a fucking cup cake. he'll mentally implode get shit talked by everyone while he's sitting around doing nothing
KD is too tall and spindly to handle an injury like that. He'll be 32 when he comes back and the first year of his contract is basically a sunk cost. It's not a good contract.
Yup. He was injured the prior 2 seasons to this one. I had him as my favorite for MIP...and he did become an all star. However he is still injury prone

It’s a worthy gamble for the Nets. You’re a middling playoff team with cap space and no tradition of signing elite FAs, Kyrie (who is better than D’lo) comes with KD hitched to him.
Maybe KD comes back and you contend, maybe he doesn’t and you’re no worse than Boston last year but have a legit front office that drafts well.
20 at max lol, SAS on suicide watch
paying 36 million a year to someone just because they played 30 seconds in a single all star game is insane, the bucks fucked themselves
Where my nigga Frank?
Thing is Giannis loves Middleton.
traded to the lakers for $5 in cash consideratons
He’s a top 6 SF that can switch effortlessly on defense and knockdown triples. What’s to not like? We’re capped out and can’t get anyone else
This why do I have to pay for onlyfans to find quality nudes fuck capitalism
The boy who cried Lakers
There once was a shepherd boy who was bored as he sat on the hillside watching the village sheep. To amuse himself he took a great breath and sang out, "Lakers! Lakers! I'm signing with the Lakers!" The villagers came running up the hill to celebrate the boy's decision. But when they arrived at the top of the hill, he said he still hasn't decided. The boy laughed at the sight of their angry faces.
Later, the boy sang out again, "Lakers! Lakers! I want to go to the Lakers!" To his naughty delight, he watched the villagers run up the hill to celebrate. When the villagers saw no decision was made they sternly said, "Save your frightened song for when there is really s celebration! Don't say you want to be a Laker when you still haven't made up your mind." But the boy just grinned and watched them go grumbling down the hill once more.
Later, he had an epiphany and realized all the championships he could win by teaming up with Lebron and AD. Alarmed, he leaped to his feet and sang out as loudly as he could, "Lakers! Lakers!"
But the villagers thought he was trying to fool them again, and so they didn't come. They had already decided to fill out their roster with middling free agents and ring chasers and had no cap space left. At sunset, everyone wondered why the shepherd boy hadn't signed with the Toronto Raptors. They went up the hill to find the boy. They found him weeping.
"I really wanted to be a Laker! I cried out, "Lakers!" Why didn't you come?"
An old man tried to comfort the boy as they walked back to the village. "You shouldn't have taken so fucking long to decide you dumb nigger! Fuck you and your diva shit. If you really wanted to be a Laker you would have signed day 1 of free agency." So the boy signed with the Toronto Raptors and never won a championship ever again, and faded into obscurity while the Lakers won without him.
knox isn't starting, put mitchell at the 5
KD had injuries before this, Kyrie himself is injury prone nevermind being a lockerroom cancer that never won anything without Lebron holding his hand. His only win in the post-season is beating an oladipo-less pacers team lol.
The Nets are fucked.
>lakers won without him
but the lakers are trash
Lebron never won without Kyrie or Wade? Every elite player in history has needed to be hand-held by a Pippen, Sam Jones, Kareem, KD, etc. team sport yada yada.
Brooklyn this last year is better than the Celtics without Kyrie and has better coaching and load management, I think the year before last Atkinson didn’t have a single player over 29 mpg, lots of depth. They'll be a solid 2-4 seed in a weak east with Kawhi gone
>MPJ gets a knee sprain 1 day before summer league
I'm not talking about winning a ring, Kyrie won ONE series and made the playoffs ONCE in the EAST. They'll be a fifth seed at best and that's if Kyrie stays healthy, cap this.

How many games does this team win?
Lebron's so good he made everyone believe Kyrie was a superstar
Dope bully ball team. Will root for them. 25 wins.
who held kawhi's hand?
Kyrie made the playoffs the year before on the Celtics, got injured before their start. It’s a safe to say if you add Kyrie to a playoff team they’ll continue to make the playoffs.
When he’s put in position to elevate his game around good talent we’ll see how far he can lead a team. Nets have more talent than the Zceltics who can continuously whiffed on the Nets own picks!
That team is probably still better than the Knicks.
Na she's an 8 to me. 7 is like your average cute chick. Could be because i live in Tennessee and the average woman around here doesn't look half as good as her
>Theres no basis for saying KD will come back far worse than he was.
You mean aside from all of the athletes who suffered similar injuries and came back far worse than they previously were?
Randle is a team option, so really only 2 years right?

why would he date just one chick like a faggot when he could have multiple?
and news flash - women don't care if you cheat. They want a guy who has proven he's successful with women before, not some beta who turns others down. That's why 90% of the time a guy gets caught cheating his girl will forgive him anyway. The other 10% the girl was already looking for an excuse to leave
>5th seed at best
nigga, what? Nets aren't making the playoffs this year
this is the final year where Kyrie gets utterly exposed
auto-flagged for relocation
danny green obv
Kyle Lowry, Serge Ibaka, Fred VanVleet, Marc Gasol, and Pascal Siakam
every single one of them had huge plays multiple times in the Finals
don't forget Lowry injured Klay
Pretty much this. I cheated and sorta got caught, she gave me hell but forgave me lmao women can be so retarded
Though I do think the Celtics young core is overrated, youre overrating how much better the Nets players are, they're around the same.

Nigga basketball is a team sport stupid.
DuncanManuTonyPop and injuries.
yes? that's what i'm saying. Kawhi had help from his entire team.
My wife's black bull just told me Kawhi to the Celtics for a vet minimum was a done deal. GO CELTICS!
Celtics young core is entirely perimeter players, that’s the difference. They had a limited amount of touches for their rising stars who all played the same positions.
Nets have Allen and now Deandre, they’re a more balanced team. Celtics were always manipulated inside starting a forward at 5.
if you cheat and she catches you but gives you a pass it means she's already seeing someone else behind your back
THIS IS THE JERSEY KAWHI COULD HAVE BEEN IN IF AINGE GOT RID OF TATUM OR BROWN I HOPE HE HAS ANOTHER FUCKING HEART ATTACK FOR SQUANDERING ABSOLUTELY EVERY FUCKING THING THAT WAS FUCKING GIFT-WRAPPED TO HIM FOR FUCKS SAKE
or she's desperate and lonely and afraid that if she breaks up with you she'll never find love again.
either way you should NEVER give someone a pass when they cheat, no matter how much you love them. if you're willing to forgive them once it tells them that you're willing to forgive them again

I know the guy is going to show up, but no, Curry shouldn't have been traded to appease KD's fragile ego. Curry is the real face of the franchise, KD wasn't even respected by basketball fans and was seen as a mercenary.
