They aren’t worse than the Hornets

Nick Nurse is the best coach in the league

A top SF is just a 6'9 guy with skills and athleticism. That's a good combination of attributes for basketball.

I'd also challenge your SF argument. Was Shawn Marion a top 8 player for the Mavs? No

Was Tayshaun a top 8 player for the Pistons? No basketball-reference.com/teams/DET/2004.html

He's destroyed Butler and OKC before, not saying it's likely but you'll never know what can set a guy off.

He didn’t kill us....he made us stronger....

Wiggins has all the talent in the world. It really is a question of how you get him going.

He didn’t grow up poor. Maybe he doesn’t have that drive.

so you actually believe Wiggins can magically get motivated. Fuck, you're delusional. Dude is so lazy he makes KAT look like a busy little bee

he doesn't have the drive because he's morally bankrupt. He's getting paid millions of dollars and won't lift a finger. He's a fucking scumbag.

Why are people forgetting about the Raptors 905 and ability to develop players? They just signed Stanley Johnson who is more athletic and a better defender than Kawhi despite never being coached, a year in the G league and he'll be a top 10 forward in the league next to Pascal Siakam who will finish top 3 in MVP voting.

>He's getting paid millions of dollars and won't lift a finger.
sounds like he's qualified to be president

>better defender than Kawhi
lmao
>Pascal Siakam who will finish top 3 in MVP voting
lmao

Then the question is what makes everyone else play hard? What makes them motivated to play despite being paid millions upon millions?

What is the variables here?

We have never seen a player as naturally talented as Wiggins, the guy legitimately does not care about basketball at all and can roll out of bed to 20 points in a game while not even attempting to get rebounds, play defense or pass. Some guys work their entire career and never get 10ppg

When he feels like it he can dismantle a team USA, but he probably won't. Just saying it could happen.

Alphas care about legacy and responsibility. They want to lead a team. They want to deliver on their contract. They want to be remembered as a great.

Wiggins is just a spineless punk loser who took money from Glen Taylor knowing damn well he was gonna put his feet up and relax as soon as the ink dried on the contract.

Knicks are underrated, Randle due for a monster season and Trier looks really good. Gibson should be a solid mentor for Robinson and play great back up 5 minutes. They're really just a good nice versatile three man away from a playoff appearance

I cheer for injuries all the time in every sport. These assholes are all vastly overpaid man children that can't form back to back coherent sentences in a row to play a child's game regardless of which sport it is. It never fails.

As a fan, it is your right to root for whatever gives your team the advantage and most importantly the win. Take your bullshit elsewhere I bet every Jets/Dolphins/Bills fans all would rather Tom Brady got hurt like 10 years ago and his career would be over than any touchdown scored by them in the last decade.

no, but you should.

I honestly don’t see a situation where my hornies don’t become elite. Bunch of young guys will get a TON of experience over coming years. Add on to that three top 5 picks and you got a whole nother wave of young talent coming in.... excited for the future lads. Already got ridiculous depth just gotta draft those stars (reminder that it’s harder to mess up top 5 picks and my hornies got a new FO and haven’t really had many picks that high anyway).

What's the criteria? I think if it was just like me and him, a full court, and like a regular game (the full 48 minutes) it's not unreasonable to score a single point. Shit, some people here might even be able to score a couple more.

the espn jews are all talking about what a bonehead move it was but why would you pay that much for a guy who cant get you into the playoffs

i think Hornets will be better this year than they were last year.
once that shitty batum and zeller comtracts are off the books hornets will be in great shape

what xcom game did you pull that stat from

I agree that they shouldn't have paid him but they couldve traded him for 2 years before that. he was on 12million a year.

what happens when you get a hard peepee Yea Forums?

>What happened here? Were they robbing him?

Wilt is the undeniable GOAT

people don't care that they didn't pay him. They care about letting him walk for nothing instead of trading him when they knew that they weren't going to pay him. It's the classic sign of a shit franchise. Not even factoring in MJ's fetish for white boys and overpaying 7th/8th men

you stop looking at the photo of Kristine Leahy

they were still in the mix for a homecourt advantage playoff spot at the trade deadline last season

they really fell apart apart the all star break

how com aint nobody say kareem da goat

see

Cause Wilt dominated him when Wilt was in his 30s and post injury while Kareem in his prime

>LeBron is going to keep #23 due to "production issues"
Based. I wonder how many bootleg jerseys are being burned by sweatshops right now.

Kobe’s defense made him the GOAT

we the ______

Wilt was a better defender at a more important position, he blocked a guy who is considered to be the Lebron James of his time so hard he broke his arm and would have led the league in blocks every year if they recorded the stat in a league with Bill Russell as his contemporary.

>watching summer league
>they play a highlights video
>they show the same zion dunk 10 times

but wilt has no rings

He had two titles?

that doesn't make it any better? The clippers traded their best player despite being in the mix because they knew they weren't going anywhere meaningful and weren't going to pay him. The hornets are just incompetent and mj is a bottom 3 owner in the league. They don't trade well, don't draft well, don't scout well, or do anything that resembles running a successful franchise

how exposed would wilt be in today's summer league?

i meant wedding rings you idiot

For me it's Pokimane.

He would fake an injury to fuck all of the summer league players' girlfriends.

Found context. Latino dude was apparently instigating some street gang beef.

Still looks cute. Is this supposed to be unattractive or have you never seen a girl without makeup?

Shawn Marion was perennially underrated, not to mention * don’t count. If Lebron played at an average level in that Finals they win the title with ease but he choked

tacko fall is getting numbers and he's shit, based wilt averages 35 and 15 while hungover.

Wonder if getting away from that soul food down south does Omari Spellman any good, he was meant to be Shlenk’s second go at a second round 6’8 scrapper but he’s got to weight under control to make an impact some place.

I think he’s more Mo Speights than Draymond

Wilt would average 35 and 15 in the NBA today injured, he’d get 50 in 20 minutes in the summer league. Would likely just start heaving it from half court when he gets bored

DrayGod.

they both got carried to the wcf, melo by chauncey, cp3 by har en.

>monk and bridges barely even play
both will likely be starting this year
theres no other guard to challenge Monk for a starter and Bridges needs to get Batums spot.

where are these whiffs in the last 3 years?? who should they have drafted instead of Miles Bridges???? Grayson Allen? is that the franchise changer??
monk was drafted over mitchell but everybody missed on him and i think Monk will be better than him once he gets consistent minutes

I guess you are Canadian, but even most brainlets will figure out the Iggles will not make the playoffs and go back to 7-9/8-8 mediocrity as they watch the Cowboys win another playoff game and take a divisional exit right after.

Does that mean Zion is Aaron Gordon but can play decent defense? Kemp was a meme dunker

Turnover rate has zero correlation with win pct

I'm not the user you were replying to. The bears double doinking was almost like kawhis buzzerbeater desu

Giannis will improve and shoot 30% from 3pt land 45% on midrange attempts

Pelicans ARE /ourteam/ right?

Zion won’t be able to play defense at the pro level, too short at 6’4 and will be heavy like Kemp after he lost his bounce. No range like Gordon either

Everyone knows the 2017 Eagles were a one trick pony meme team that only made it to the owl because the Saints fucked up against the Vikings the last minute.

And KD is 6’9

remember when Kobe magically shrank an inch during his prime

Kobe was 6’3 most of his career, 6’4 at peak

he was 6'9. The nba only updates that shit when the players request it like when giannis told them he grew. It's why Lebron has been "6'8 250" ever since his rookie season

sure, that's why they beat the most dominant dynasty in NFL history on neutral ground

that eagles team was stacked as fuck, one of the best o-lines ever, one of the most underrated RB cores ever (who the fuck was their rookie?), and a retarded defensive line. all they needed was a QB who wouldn't fuck it all up

And if the saints weren't complete choke artists they would've supposedly won back to back super bowls

Going to laugh more when Jerry finds a way to keep Dak with a similar, yet less expensive contract when they cruise through the East because the Iggles blow games to shit teams one too many times. And you say you are not a brainlet when you don't even know how the NFL works ya fucking leaf.

I thought he just didn't want to be seen as a PF, so he preferred 6'9 which seems more like a SF height.

He was never 6’9, was as tall as Gasol his rookie year

>he's a demboyzzz fan
holy fuck let me laugh even harder

they're giving dak an even bigger contract than wentz and everyone knows it because you've got the most senile owner in sports

wat

Gasol is 6’11 with insoles at the top of his hair, KD is 7’2

>Kobe changed shoes to get taller
>He shrunk
??????????????????????????

I miss the Sonics.

why do so many blacks in the league have white wives?

Jerry has never been known to properly manage the cap.

When Jordan put on muscle in his prime against the Pistons and would go up for certain dunks his 6’4 frame could elongate to 6’6 marking the legend of 6’6 Jordan by his contemporaries. Remember he was 6’2 as a college freshman

kobe was listed at 6'8" for like the first 5 years of his career.
then he became 6'7 some time during his 20s.
either he is magical shrinking man or one of those is a lie.

Certain injuries make you shorter though, Kobe is only 6’2 now.

Kobe was listed 6'7 as far back as I can remember even in the 90s. In all the games and shit he was 6'7

All those stats and they go 7-9 or even worse. One thing to not trust philly teams, but never ever trust sports analyst's when it comes to philly sports.. EVER!

RUNNING RIOT

i just got it backwards thats all
wikipedia still lists him 6'6 with reference quote of kobe saying hes 6'4
and a 2000 quote saying "im probably 6'5" in shoes"

the point still stands that basketball at all levels is notorious for lying about height

Kobe in sneakers? 6’4
Barefoot? 6’2

You are right, one meme team was bad against good teams, the other meme team was injury riddled/borderline bad and they faced better opponents that shit themselves at the worst moments. Also Super Bowl 52 was a sketchy owl when it came to TD calls.

You just don't know your lore. Kobe idolized MJ so he always listed himself at 6'6 like him. Truth is they were the same height, with Kobe maybe a fraction taller, so why not list yourself in shoes like him.
