>tfw i immediately and without ever wavering said that the mavericks won The Trade
>tfw the point of "tanking" (by choice or by circumstance) is to get the #1 overall pick and the mavericks did that, further solidifying their trade victory, especially since doncic's player option kicks in after the end of next season and the mavericks just got the new face of their franchise as well as one of the best NBA draft prospects in history on a #1 overall rookie deal for 4 years

Apologize to me right now you basketball ignorant faggots. Say you are sorry for being a clueless casual and that you yield to my superior basketball brain.

I am victorious
Nico is victorious
The Dallas Mavericks are victorious

The Dallas Mavericks are picking #1 overall and you can't do shit about it but screech and cry and shit your pants. It's over. Now APOLOGIZE you fucking monkeys.

Steven Adams is off the market

Steveo is here to stay
Get fucked Lakeks

>>149178392
He's not even what the Lakers should be looking for. They need an athletic run and dunk man

>>149178392
Vucevic only has 1 year left and it's a bad contract. The Lakers could get him for cheap.

>>149178392
Lakers should take a swing on Ayton. You can't find a more talented available player

Why does he do this shit, same with his henny? he must really be trying to save up enough to become owner of the Vegas expansion team and finally evolve into full time LeGM

>>149178464
Vucevic as rim protector for Luka, AR15 and Bron. What could go wrong?

>>149178392
They need to go all-in for Gobert

>>149178978
They have no assets for gobert
Even gutting the roster plus reaves wouldn't do it probably

Where’s the lie?

>[Fischer] League sources say that the Suns have also signaled to potential suitors that they very well could opt in the end for a trade that doesn't dispatch Durant to one of his preferred landing spots.
LMAOOOOOO now we know why he's been crashing out hard on Twitter in the last few days

KD you are a Chicago Bull.

>>149179084
Bron doesn't make other people better or more remembered, they just become scapegoats

>>149179087
where's the most deliciously ironic place to banish KD to?

>>149179271
Is there a teammate bron hasnt betrayed or backstabbed at some point? Not even like it's mamba mentality type shit he's just a megalomaniac

>>149179271
>Bron doesn't make other people better or more remembered
That's not true; JJ Barea is only remembered because of LeBron.

>>149179271
Bron has been getting roleplayers generational wealth since the Mike Miller days in Miami, Adams could have had every sponsorship in the greater LA area retiring a legend with his name synonymous with Bron/Luka’s success rings. Now he’ll be just another footnote in league history, sad for him

>>149179294
They should send him to the Nets.

>>149178978
All-in for a liability in the post season?

>>149179084

A desperation decision nobody who isn’t a narcissist would make

>>149179271
No one remembers kyrie if it wasnt for bron. Dude was a colin sexton

When you think about Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, Love and AD the first thing about is Bron

>>149179353
>No one remembers kyrie if it wasnt for bron.
We need conversion therapy for bronsexuality man

>>149179460
Kyrie never made the playoffs if not for Bron

>>149179470
Kyries handles alone and beautiful game would get his ass known

>>149179470
Kyrie was already an allstar before Bron. It's a big reason why he went back in the first place

>>149179486
Kyrie would be playing overseas right now if LeBron didn’t teach him how to win

Nigga this is the wrong website. Take your faggoty ass over to ao3 if you want to write fanfiction.

>>149179603
The jazz aren't that bad ainge is just retarded and they got "unlucky" in the draft. Lauri is just coasting

Kobe was such a legend bro. He carried the Lakers this series

>>149179690
>LeBron and Luka wont win… well…BECAUSE they just wont…
First time seeing the Lakers bring in a legend? What do you think we brought Luka in to do?

>>149179734
Halt the brakes and tell us a realistic trade the Lakers can make to get a GOOD center before we start talking chips

>>149179776
offer lebron for anthony davis to the mavs and maybe they will fall for it

>>149179813
Forgot to mention they also need one that is a lob threat and also can make up for Luka/Brons bad defense

basically they need lively

>>149179776
Knecht, a first and a pick swap is enough to get an all star

>>149179813
AD doesn't want to play center

>>149179430
Kyrie has more VORP in his first season than Sexton has in his career

>>149179862
use time machine and get them to add lively in the trade

>>149179871
I think you're overstating knechts value he's athletic and can Chuck but that's not rare

>>149179930
They already got Williams for him, most teams want the Lakers prospects since we draft at a high level see the trade for AD

It has been confirmed for /nba/TV that Shai Gilegous Alexander and Scott Foster have been seen going to a hotelroom together last night. Gilgeous Alexander had visible bruising on his knees.

>>149179734
Anon, you actually have to win a ring before people start assuming that you’re going to do so. So far Luka hasn’t and Bron hasn’t won a real one in a decade. Taking a bron/luka ring as fact is almost as delusional as warriors fans thinking curry can carry them back to the finals again.

Foster breeding the MVP

>>149180057
There is no combination of Luka, LeBron and 3/D roleplayers that doesn’t win a championship next season

>>149180033
Williams had aids. I'm not trying to say it's impossible by the way but it's going to be really hard to get something good cooking in the off-season especially because the league knows they need one bad and have them over a barrel unless silver pulls some strings

>>149180106
We’d have made the WCF year one if Williams was healthy enough to trade, now imagine what happens after an actual camp with Luka and we sign ring chasers

>>149180102
I wish I had as much blind confidence in anything as much as you do in the corpse of lebron, fat luka, and whatever fanfiction you can write about the next center that’s definitely coming to LA.

You act like LeGod wasn’t in the fucking WCF a few years ago with a brand new roster

>>149180795
There isn't a player or coach in the league that can make Russ a winning player. He was a 6th man on a vet min for Denver and look how that turned out

>>149180823
You act like LeDiddy didn't miss the playoffs on a roster, which he hand-picked, featuring 60 combined all-star appearances and six potential hall-of-famers.

>>149180597
No, I just genuinely don’t particularly care. At least if they did make me seethe, I could hate watch them, but as it stands they don’t make me feel a thing. If they win a ring it will be like if an NPC team won the ‘chip instead of the player in a vidya.

>>149180788

>>149178392
I remember how bad the pacing was on the Lakers before they got D'Lo. Then they traded him because he couldn't score or play defense or whatever. But defense is played as a team. You can't blame an entire collapse on one person.

Also, remember Dennis Schroeder? They let him go by mistake, and then went out of their way to get him back, only to trade him away again? I member.

Lakers deserve all their failures. Bad management and shitty coaching.

lel this retard thinks the pistons, who only "lost" because the nba refs literally gifted game 4 to the knicks and the nba endorses this as a matter of fact, would somehow be "career banishment" when it would immediately give the pistons an ECF floor, especially considering the fact that the cavaliers are regular season heroes, the knicks are frauds and the celtics are gonna be without tatum for an entire season. let's all point and laugh at the retard.

>>149185373
Its been known for a long time that mixed race people have reduced life expectancy

We found the data guys, the whole reason that Jokic's VORP is so high is nothing more than a quirk in the formula. The formula gives centers literally double credit for assists than it does guards. The formula doesn't account for a meme point-center playstyle which breaks it. In case you thought something smelled funny and failed the eye test, you weren't wrong

https://www.basketball-reference.com/about/bpm2.html

>>149185824
I looked up his parents the other day and his mom is 6'3, dad 6'6. I don't get how that makes you nearly 8 foot though genetics crazy fr

>>149185868
kek wait is this real? i wouldnt be surprised since these shitty advanced stats are almost always more flawed than they are revealing. Im pretty sure BPM, or some other advanced stat that starts with B. Or maybe its PER? Anyway one of those stats inflates westbrook insanely high (or atleast use to) just for the sheer volume of the shots he takes.

>>149185868
this would be worth exploring but all of his advanced numbers are through the roof. It's one thing when a guy randomly pops up on one of them but the greats are usually on most of of them

>>149185531
It's so unfair bros....

>>149179345
Une source mon frere

>>149186051
'fraid so

>>149178392
They should just play Koloko. He's a good defender and his ineptitude on offense doesn't matter because nobody is getting any touches with both Luca and LeBron on the team.

>>149185914
There's definitely a random factor but Mom being 6'3 can't be understated. It's not like your kid is just going to be between the height of the dad and mom right? 6'3 woman is like the 7' of dudes. So Wemby got the too damn tall genetics from both sides of his family + whatever the fuck is the water factor.

>>149186318
But these also give bonuses for big man stats when a small dude gets them, so the Westbrooks of the world also get the buffs.

>>149186318
>"a centers assists are generally very high value"
kek what? this doesnt even make any logical sense, fucking how? what about a center who gives a ball handoff into a screen? thats like one of the most generic ways centers facilitate assists. It just makes no possible logical sense unless one inherently presumes without basis to presume, that something being rarer, or less likely, by virtue makes it more valuable.

Stats arent the type of thing that can truly measure value in assists anyway, and if anything one can make the argument (and this argument HAS been made) that higher degree of turnovers indicate more valuable passes, because more turnovers can often indicate a player that makes riskier thread the needle passes.
But even this is obviously flawed considering players like westbrook, harden, and obviously lebronathon james

>>149186508
Center handoff merchant offense has been some of the highest powered offense in recent years.

>>149186436
Only blocks and offensive rebounds really, which take skill. Westbrook is a good offensive rebounding guard but nothing special of a shot blocker

>>149186436
>Westbrooks of the world also get the buffs.
This explains SO much now. I dont think ive seen a more flawed stat culture than basketball stats if im being completely honest, so many snuck in premises and presumptions.

>>149186380
I know 6'3 for a chick is fucking massive but I just don't get how those genes combine to make someone a foot taller than his dad and one of the tallest people to have ever lived. Usually people cap out at about 6'11-7'1 naturally and any taller than that is due to hormonal disorders.

>>149185868
This has been known for a while. It's why nobody that knows ball takes these meme stats seriously. There is no reality where Jokic is 3x more valuable than Steph Curry or Kevin Durant.

>>149186710
Genetics are weird. They sometimes seem to skip generations.

Bad team merchant

>>149187361
That on court of court stat makes literally zero sense. There is no way SGA is 18 + on court and his team is only .4 off court.
Compared to curry who last season, and even in the 2022-2023 season had multiple clutch 50 point games where he still lost because his team is bum fuck ass. And warriors fans are literal dumb fuck retards who unironically think Kuminga is a god in making.

shaq defs still hates kobe it must make him seethe so bad he cant shit talk him like dwight

Pretty funny how Israel started WW3 just as Trump was about to throw his big ass military parade/recruitment ad. And now they want America to help them invade Iran. Noticing...

+/- was never meant for individual players and nba fans constant abuse and misuse of stats is disgusting

>>149188011
This reminds me that I saw someone today who had a Shaq Heat Jersey lol. Where the fuck did be find that

>>149188077
Name teams that have better surrounding casts around their stars than the Nuggets.

>>149188254
Nigga the supporting cast is the stars there's like 6 real players on the roster

>>149188296
So name teams that have a better supporting casts around their 1st option than the Nuggets.

I can't believe you all are falling for the leaf's bait again. MPJ is making more than SGA and yall niggas trying to have a discussion about roster building. Carry the hell on

>>149188254
pacers

>>149188405
Big Perk has spoken

>>149188405
>MPJ is making more than SGA
That's only because SGA took a team friendly deal when the team was trash. SGA's contract is quite possibly the best in the league

>>149188424
lol these are the people that talk basketball on this board. 90% of the teams that you listed have shit rosters and either didn't make the playoffs or were 1st round exits. The rebuilding Bulls, the bum ass 76er's and the completely fucked Suns have better roster construction than the Nugget's?

streets are saying Derek White to the Nuggets

>>149188405
>MPJ is making more than SGA
MPJ is making the same amount as SGA lol. They both got the same max rookie extension (25% cap).

Yup.

>>149188689
>That's only because SGA took a team friendly deal when the team was trash.
my goat curry used to be like this...this is how they were even able to get durant...now hes the most paid player in the nba...hes still an underdog though guys i promise

Who tricked Jokic into signing a 5 year deal. What the fuck is a 5 year deal for the best player in the league.

>>149188934
Are they aware of the new rules? I think if you give the 96-97 bulls a few weeks prep they could squeeze one game out

>>149188788
now's a good time to contemplate how completely fucked your nuggets are. Those mpj and murray contracts are complete killers without even getting to how poorly they've handle the fringe players. Braun is probably looking for a bag too despite being a complete Jokic merchant

>>149188934
The horace grant bulls would ream the warriors

Jalen Williams now has more PPG and better efficiency in the NBA finals than Jayson Tatum.

Dub: 22.3 PPG on 52.7 TS%

Tatum: 21.8 PPG on 49.2 TS%

>>149186318
>blocks nearly twice as much for guards

looks like the whole thing is bullshit according to these mouth breathers from planet retard

>>149189148
Braun did a good job defending SGA for like 2 games that series lol
He's actually taller than caruso if he could just get 50% of his defensive skill the nuggets would be a changed team

New jokic vacation vids dropped he's looking solid
>https://streamable.com/rdxmhk

>>149188405
Anything that disrupts the Jokic victim complex on this board is seen as bait lol. MPJ and SGA signed the same rookie max extension in the same year. Small market teams have to pay a premium to keep talent.

>>149188934
If you are playing modern rules, Warriors sweep. If you are playing 90s rules, Bulce sweep. They really are different games.

>>149189507
Warriors could just chuck 3s and outscore them until KD gets killed by Kukoc on Jorgambler orders

My GOAT Aquaman gets paid, yay

>Lakers fans probably crying rn

>>149189562
>lakers fans are retarded example #94959683
Adams isn't the type of guy they need around Luka and Bron at all

>>149189223
Braun is a solid but he's a fringe starter/6 man type unless he improves. You can't overpay a guy like that especially when your team is already full of bad contracts. Probably deserves somewhere around 15-20 mil a year. Their new gm is going to have to work some real magic going forward to keep them competitive

>>149189610
Honest question, so what type of center do they need?

>>149189562
How the fuck is he paid so much when he averaged 4 points this season on 54% TS. He only averaged 5 rebounds too and he's a career 50% free throw shooter LOL

>>149189660
Braun will probably have to end up as a trading piece if the nuggets are trying to do a serious retool. Depends if saric goes back to Europe rather than opting in too to take some salary off the cap

>>149189671
Literally Derek lively

>>149189704
They pay him for his rebounding and screen setting skills

>>149189749
I mean i agree. But realistically, there ain't many good centers available right now

>[Charania] The Miami Heat, San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets are 15-time All-Star Kevin Durant's preferred trade destinations out of Phoenix, sources tell ESPN. Those across the NBA have been made aware in recent days that those are the three teams that Durant would commit to long-term.

https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1934066096304496810

who we gon get season finna be fire

Actually speaking of laker centers I've been wondering about that rescinded trade for knecht for Mark williams a few months back. Dude can play still but they must have seen something really bad/degenerative for a team with jaxson hayes and Alex len to not take him

>>149189795
$13 million per season only to come off the bench and set screen is an overpay. Especially when he averages an inefficient 4 points and is a complete liability at the end of games.

>>149189842
>>149189844
>[Fischer] League sources say that the Suns have also signaled to potential suitors that they very well could opt in the end for a trade that doesn't dispatch Durant to one of his preferred landing spots.
Watch masai bring out the treasure chest and send him to the shadow realm

>>149189842
>would commit to long-term
what idiot wants to give a long term deal to a 37 year old?

>>149189993
Durants deal is expiring next year. Teams will be hesitant to send a lot for a guy who already admitted he will only accept something long term with three teams. Unless Masai thinks KD can do what peak Kawhi did.

>>149189928
The general idea is the lakers just got cold feet and thought they could do better later with the same assets. The physical stuff was just their way out since it's entirely at their discretion as to what "passes" a physical. It's why the hornets tried to complain to the league

>>149190082
He averaged 26/6/4 on 64% TS this season playing 62 games. People act like Durant fell off because on a shit team.

>>149190147
Long term in the context of his career could mean like 2 years like butler got

>>149190170
Do you think he's gonna perform better or worse the next few seasons?

>>149190164
Sounds plausible but knecht and a pick + reddish isn't a lot of value unless they think they can get claxton somehow

>>149190170
his team was shit because he sucks

>>149190170
>he doesn't know

>>149190213
Even if he falls off and becomes washed he's still better than 80% of the first options in this league.

>>149189948
>only to come off the bench and set screen
You obviously didn't read the full sentence. He's one of the best offensive rebounder in the league. The reason why they were able to go to game 7 against the warriors was partly because of his rebounds since the rockets shot like ass.
Plus it's on a declining rate, and it's not like the rockets are having any cap issues

>>149189552
You couldn't chuck infinite 3s back then because there wasn't the modern freedom of movement rules, players were allowed to stay in your landing zone, touch fouls on shooters didn't exist, ballhandling rules were stricter, etc.

>>149189948
Youre talking to retards that feel the need to justify anything "official" because AUTHORITY AND MONEY JUST CANT POSSIBLY EVER BE WRONG! ITS TOO VALUABLE!
the people youre responding to will give you highlight reel rationalizations, because that is what the retards managing teams validate. Its why Kuminga is loved by the franchise owner of the warriors, and by warriors fans alike. Its just retards to un self aware to realize how captured they are by hype and name circulation. They just copy the generic analyst talking point "Steve Adams was da difference against the warriors" Just like retards did in 2015 about Iggy stopping Lebron when the stats objectively say otherwise. Its just narratives and hype.

>>149190942

San Antonio would cruise to the finals next season if KD goes there

>>149190961
Masai needs Durant or he's getting fired. We're 6 years away from the championship, our entire championship core was let go for RJ Barret and Quickly on bad contracts and our "rebuild" lasted 2 years and resulted in the only good players on our roster being Barnes and Ochai. Trying to make a deep playoff run in a weak East is the only way Masai can justify keeping his job to the new owners despite his complete mismanagement of the team.

>>149191003
>no arguments, just insults
I accept your concession. Don't get your opinions from Tiktok and ESPN and you won't get BTFO so easily, Miguel.

>>149191068
nonsense. Raptor fans all across the internet say this team is elite and will be title contenders next season. Trust Masai

>>149190431
More like 50%, and those he's better than are all on much better contracts

>>149191068
>the only good players on our roster being Barnes and Ochai
Don't forget Dick

>>149191177
what arguments do you ever make jeet

>>149191322
He's a corner boy that shoots 34% from 3 and get's cooked on defence. Gradey is trash

>>149188934
Jordan and Pippen and way better than Bron and Kyrie defensively and offensively it's about a wash. So after that I guess you'd have to compare the rest of the cast

>>149191413
Dick is elite. And he's still growing!

>>149191068
Masai gonna get fired when he drafts the next Bruno Caboclo

>>149189928
They just realized how stupid it was to give up Knecht for some tall shitter just because Lebitch was mad Knecht didn't pass to Bronny during garbage time. Lakers need to keep Knecht, he is a future all star. If anyone needs to go its Lebron, he is old, slow, can't jump, injures his bussy monthly and is only playing to statpad his career stats.
Maybe they can draft a lob threat for Luka if they can't buy one, but trading away the future of the franchise for one is retarded unless they're getting one thats also going to score 20, get 10 boards and play defense. Knecht is nearly starter caliber already.

>>149188934
imagine Rodman playing against Dray

>>149188934
Who the fuck on the Warriors is gonna get a rebound over Longley and Rodman?

Yes durant yes tell us your preferred destinations so we know to not trade you there yes

Gonna be a long night for Jeetwest Tranitories huh?

KD in his Suns Shaw era

It's basically a done deal that he's a Spurs

I've heard enough. Kevin Durant must be banished to the most wretched of places

>>149192051
He would have the time of his life in new orleans lel

Inceltic you came out of your tranny hellhole last game where are you now?

>>149192029
Will spurs beat the heat package of Herro Jovic and a first rounder?

>>149192029
Probably. Spurs are the only team with enough to give up and still be good. Heat and Rockets will need to gut the team a bit

>>149192248
They can give Vassell, Barnes, or Johnson and multiple draft picks. They have more assets

There was a report that Spurs have restrictions that would make it very difficult and unlikely for KD to the Spurs btw.

>>149192300
Im taking the piss out of the local schizo who thought that was good enough package for Dame coming off a season averaging 30

>>149192334
What restrictions?

>>149192029
What are the Suns even doing? Are they rebuilding or still trying to compete? Beal isn't going anywhere and Booker won't stay on a rebuilding team. The Spurs giving up Vassell and Castle for KD won't make the Suns contenders so is Booker going to ask for a trade too?

>>149192362
Still mad about a fanbase of a team excited and discussing about a star player asking for only their team two years ago?

Kd thinks the suns will play nice cause he asked to be traded and gave half a seasons notice. What a retard

KD to the Wizards

Fuuuuuuuccckk Kevin durrrannnnt

>>149192427
Nvm I found the report it was about the Wolves and Rockets. With the Spurs they just say the Spurs haven't been too aggressive with KD.

>>149192754

Niggas rather talk about where KD is going to end up than this shitty ass finals series. SGA and Hallburton will never be superstars. They're too boring to even hate

>>149191360
Ignore that leafjeet. Notice how he just keeps saying "score 4 points" over and over again and selectively leaves out rebounding which is Adams' biggest strength? That already tells you he doesn't watch the game. He's worse than box score watchers because he only looks at points and don't care about anything else. "serrr, you hab too understand, biggur poinds, biggurr superstar. And do not redeem serr. Dankyou."

>>149193047

>>149193047
>again and selectively leaves out rebounding which is Adams' biggest strength?
he literally did mention rebounds. usually youre cool malaysia bro so ill give you the benefit of the doubt that you just really live steve adams for some reason.

Reminder Inceltic literally pays Indians to spam /nba/ with his approved narratives and talking points he posts on the discord. Stuff like the recent BAWB spam comes from this. This has been happening in recent months and lately there's been an uptick in pajeet leafs posting and people unironically defending pajeets from slander ITT. Inceltic depending them alongside the jeets and blaming his boogeyman really opened my eyes.

>>149192992

Still jokic?

>>149194691
Didn't he say he wants to retire there?

>>149194691
Because the front office are a bunch of a retarded fags who drooled at 40 year old Durant and traded away the incredible players they had, for assholes who are robbing them

I hate Durant more because he's got 2 years max left and the fucker has 50 million left, but at the same time when he's healthy he can dunk and shoot 3s unlike Giannis who only dunks and layups

>>149194743
How about when he's off the floor, or if he gets the ball denied from him by a defender like Caruso? Who's gonna bring the ball up like Murray does so Jokic doesn't tire himself out?

I really used to think Bradley Beal was the GOAT

>>149194787
>>149194743
Speaking of glue teams

Nuggets and Celtics overscore the huge issue with teams throwing supermaxes and then when the players turn into shit or get hit with injuries like Tatum/MPJ and Brown/Gordon the franchise player who isn't dealing injuries struggles hard and is carrying the whole load and looks towards wanting a trade out

Jokic probably wants that sooner or later, none of his teammates are all stars

>>149194667
Ring chasing is fine at around 30 and he's turning 29 this year. Already gave a decade to that aimless shit hole and he would be a perfect fit on the nuggers.

>>149194738
>>149194743
>new shooting/pg off bench
They can absolutely sign Garry Trent Jr and he could unironically be better than Murray or replace MPJ

but Trent might be taken away by OKC or another team

>>149194941
GTJ can't playmake like Murray, and can't rebound like MPJ. He's also going to be more expensive than whatever Denver can offer for him

I think Denver should sign him. Former 6MOTY, should be a good sub for when Jokic and Jamal sit

>>149194906
Celtics is a special case. The previous owner was already planning to sell the team, so they just resigned everyone.

>MPJ getting 35 million
>Fucking retarded denver, look at the shit performance he gave with the OKC game

>>149195011
>He's also going to be more expensive than whatever Denver can offer for him

Nonsense casual take, his salary on Milwaukee was $2,087,519

>>149195110
Im only now getting in the basketball and NBA,

the Supermax retarded shit needs to stop, NBA needs to let these teams spend more over the cap and get rid of the apron shit,

or, stop fucking pressing the GM and Owners to spend so much with the unions on these players, Jaylen fucking dumbfuck Brown doesn't deserve 300 million, you could buy houses for thousands of people who work their ass off with that money,

Cause then if they spend "too much money" its just a drawback as a whole

>>149194906
>Jokic probably wants that sooner or later, none of his teammates are all stars
More than likely Jokic will never be on a team with another all-star. The west is just too stacked. You have guys like Luka, Booker, Ja, Zion, Sabonis, Lauri, Fox, and now Pooper and Harper coming in that are All-star caliber and didn't get it this year. Add in the fact that Jokic gets all the credit for anything his team does and it'll never happen
>>149195136
GTJ took a cheap deal this year to play for a better contract. It's the entire reason he walked from the Raptors. He's gonna want 20m+ a year

>>149194574
Thats shouldn't be surprising, arabs are a mix of African and human DNA. For the past 10000+ years semites were the only people who had any contact with Africans because Africans never invented the boat, it was only 500 years ago that the rest of humanity started to come into contact with them. Thats why semites have fat lips, dark complexions and curly hair like Africans

>>149195205
Yeah, that CBA was stupid as hell. Yes, you don't want superteams. But now good teams can't retain their homegrown talents anymore. Best example would be the thunder.

After 2026, Chet and J-Dub are going to be RFA. And assuming their performance gets better, other teams will definitely give them the max. So thunder either match that salary and struggle with cap issues, or let them walk for nothing.

Jokic doesn't care. He wouldn't have asked the team to sign his bum slav friend Saric, who's under the same management as him btw, if he cared about winning.

>>149195319
Thunder should just trade Chet, he's the weakest link of out the "big 3"

Thunder just should avoid the Supermaxes, offer them less, fuck the Unions, if they cry about it, trade them if they can and get picks back,

Players needs to know what their high salaries cause to the team cause clearly they never understand "why is there rarely new faces" and etc

They are a separate species according to all scientific definitions. Africans and Europeans have reduced fertility together compared to African - African matings or European - European matings.

Nah, it's harder to find players like Chet than players like JDub

Also, i feel that it's everyone's fault to agree to the CBA - Owners, player union, silver, everyone. They should make an exception for homegrown talents to not count towards the cap. Otherwise, what's the point of developing your own players?

>>149195889
holy FWUAK

>>149195765
Why does everyone keep asking mobile bigs like Chet, Wemby and Lively to bulk up? Do you guys not see what Embiid and Porzingis look like now? And Giannis is already starting to get injuries here and there.

>>149195558
Not wrong about all of this but where is your proof of the chimps and Africans being able to breed?

>>149196099
because at some point these dudes are going to have to bang in the paint solo and in general having muscle protects you from injury. Chet has missed over a third of his career already and looks like he could shatter on every fall. Remember that fall Jdub had last night? A similar situation took chet out for half the season

league needs another jeremy lin to bring it back to life

Shai and Haliburton just leapfroggrd Tatum all time btw.

>>149195889
what a real ass nigga

>>149196215
Not saying you're wrong, maybe a bit of muscle would help. But bulking up to Giannis' size is gonna screw up their knees and ankles since the lower body needs to sustain a heavier weight now.

>>149195363
>rebounds, mebounds, crebounds, keybounds, lakers in 5

>>149196215

jimmy got fucked up from that shit. it's good to be young.

>>149195363
Wait so is she flexing that she bricks layups and catches her own rebounds…?

>>149196283
that only happens when you put on too much weight too fast. Giannis is a poor example because his style was never going to age great and most of his injuries come from recklessness and even then he's pretty amazing to still be going strong playing that way

>>149195319
I'm letting J-Will walk, no question. Weak ass player, he isn't all-NBA on any other team.

Btw guys, go vote for my girls CC and Paige Bueckers!

>>149196544
is it dear-ica or de'erica?

Literally the only reason these shitty retardball finals matter is because the NBA is desperate to have the face of the league be an American negro (SGA) again. Rating crater when the face is a white European (Luka, Joker) or a non American black (Giannis). The league WILL rig these finals so they can crown their new African American star MVP. Black self esteem literally depends on their ability to put a ball through a hoop and nogs suffer severe cognitive dysfunction when the face of the NBA doesn't look like them

You know a bawb is projecting when their lips are movin

>>149196698
Luka, Giannis and Jokic were and will never be the faces of the league.

>>149196698
Imagine choosing a zesty Canadian over Ja fucking Morant

>>149196698
SGA is just a side project in case Wemby and Pooper don't pan out.

>>149196760
i like ja morant. the nba needs its undersized heroes.

>>149196786
and he dunks. SGA is a bitch. even kobe dunked.

>>149196621
I'm not sure. That's just what her name was displayed on the selection pool

>>149196544
pink hair looks cute :o

>thinks lanky retard is better than a sharpshooter

Fuck off fag,

On a serious note idk, but him not gaining weight is a detriment, like the other guy said

>>149196942
he gonna bulk up soon cuz hes a real nigga but even as a skeleton hes still dabbing on halifraud. we odee shooting hangpulls as is we dont need a sharpshooter cuz we all keep it on us. iykyk gang

>>149197105
cheddy puts any more weight on that fragile skellington of his and he'll snap in two

>>149197199
already making excuses for the inevitable g5 disasterclass

>>149197199
Chetty is a warrior. Rolled his ankle, got hit in the shin, but still came out and locked up Hali during that 4th quarter. Nigga really did come from the trenches.

>>149196698
We've been in the Lebron and Curry eras. There will never be a Jokic/Giannis/Luka era. The NBA is an American league and the face of the league is expected to carry team USA in the Olympics and be an American superstar. Eurotrash will never be the face of the league or have their own eras in the NBA.

Chet about to show yall who the realest nigga in OKC is. Shouts to the whole crew you know? Them niggas is a real gang. All of em. But when shit gets extra rough, you gotta call the biggest dog to close it out. And thats Chet. The young og. You gotta watch how you speak on him. Iykyk

You BAWBs are sad.

>this ends up in my feed https://youtu.be/5mtvbI1cms4
kek angry old hoops MUST browse this place his entire video is like a direct response to the lebrontards last thread making claims that jordan got bs calls.
AOH is the best of these lebron haters imo, nothing convinced me more to be against Lebron than seeing actual specific footage being broken down with context AND stats as supplementary. The first time he showed me a lebron shot chart literally broke my mind understanding how carried he is by his genetics and size. No bag. No skill.

>>149197952
Notice how he didn't bring up Giannis... lil jeety saw red when he saw his opp jokic mentioned

Are the games really rigged? I think both teams are playing great basketball...

>>149198140
rigged? no. almost impossible to prove.
bias? absolutely. all one needs to watch is 2002 wcf and 2016 finals. some of the craziest calls of all time

>>149197981
>cherrypicks examples of the few times Jordan got called and none of the times he got away with it
This boomer is biased.

nice

I don’t think there is some conspiracy to make SGA the face of the NBA. He really has zero aura. No kid is looking at this nigga and aspiring to be like him. To even compare this guy to Kobe and Jordan in the SG position is a blasphemy. Don’t get me wrong he is a very smart and good player maybe he is some sort of Duncan in the shooting guard position but let’s be real here no kid is asking for his jersey. He is probably less popular than fucking Tatum. I don’t think the nba even cares about who wins the series. Even if OKC wins it I don’t think he will become some sort of cultural icon.

mental how if Paul Millsap or Kyle Korver played in the 90s they’d be considered all stars and MVP material

>>149200406
i think they just want it to get to game 7 mate

>>149200416
Poor man's Horace Grant and Drazen Petrovic

>>149200416
Cam Thomas would be John Starks tier, Kelly Olynyk would be a prized unicorn

>>149200625
Cam can't get up like dat

hamidou diallo is tracy fucking mcgrady in jordans weak ass era

>>149200465
game 7 and a pacers win would be the jewiest ending possible because it would eat all the okc bets from the last year

>>149200592
They hated this one

I predict KD doesnt get traded and stays with the suns

Matt Ishbia refuses to cut his losses and trade him so he wants way too fucking much

>>149199749
Kek

>>149200406
I disagree, im not from OKC but I still ran into a thunder fan in my state,

Tatum only appears popular because SGAs popularity is now rising, but id argue by next year SGA will surge past everyone

>>149200406
Why do NBA fans care so much about how many sneakers individual players sell?

1. Wilt
2. Duncan
3. Kareem
4. Hakeem
5. Magic
6. Bird
7. James
8. Shaq
9. Curry
10. Jordan

It's tomorrow

>rockets gave steven fossil a 3 year 39 million extension
man he either has an excellent manager or the rockets are stupid or both

>>149202977
you mustve not been paying attention

plenty of teams were interested in steven adams, he was a huge reason why the rockets were so dominant on the glass this year

>>149202977
13 milly a year is peanuts nowadays, plus everybody's looking for a center now so that's a good deal to put in trades

>>149203031
I paid attention when it mattered: in the playoffs. And he got embarrased by two dudes named post and drayboon. He can barely move

kinda agree with spain flag...adams looked dominant against a short ass gsw...3 years was too much

too fucking much for desmond bane

>>149202977
>39 million

Thats a very cheap contract, Adams is a lad especially when compared to cocksuckers like Grayson Allen, and useless Bradley Beal get paid way more and do utterly nothing for their team

These GMs are trying to be smarter and not overpay someone for doing average work

>>149203263
5 picks, a roleplayer and sixth man for Bane is insane

>>149203061
exactly

13 million for a backup center as good as he is is nothing

way better than losing him to the lakers or the warriors

>>149200406
You are wrong, he is extremely marketable. Watch the dicksucking start when he wins a ring this year and next year

>>149203277
>>149203263
Such a fucking retarded trade, KCP is a little washed but a terrible idea to give away a 2 time champion player just straight up in a package for one guy, they already have shooters like Banchero and Wagner, give them more bigs,

We're honest to god going to just see stupider trade after the finals and weeks ahead

Seems like these GMs havent learned from teams like the Suns

>>149203294
>he is extremely marketable

he has zero personality, he never gets hype, never goes above the rim, never celebrates

what's marketable about him? he plays with the most placid expression because he's obsessed with being "nonchalant"

>>149203263

>>149203263
i love this trade for orlando

>>149203263
>all those picks for literally who
trade inflation has gotten out of hand

>>149203374
>>149203357
I never understand why teams cant just do 2 picks,

Orlando showed some promise but thats not enough, they need more bigs to stretch the floor

If bane is worth this much, how much are trae young, darius garland and tyrese maxey worth? Jesus Christ this trade is ruining the market more than the Rudy trade

theres not a gap between dariua garland an desmond bane lol they're in the same tier

>>149203263
Orlando will always be poverty and this is why. This is a pure poverty move.

>>149203263
>4 firsts
christ what
What's the value of an NBA first compared to the NFL or other sports? Seems like these get traded more often lately

new
>>149202868
>>149202868
>>149202868

>>149203420
And then the aprons on top of that,

>>149203445
well the cavs were willing to part ways with garland for the right offer, so it's implied they got this same offer and declined it meaning they think garland is worth more

A career 41% 3pt and good defender guard is exactly what the magic needed

yeah 4 picks too much but overall the magic got much better

>>149195358
says the retard immediately after the lakers with doncic only managed a single playoff win after he made the finals with the mavericks the year prior. that was one of the most embarrassingly stupid concessions of defeat i've seen yet, but all the same, i accept it.

>>149203263
4 unprotected sounds insane, that's pretty much all of their tradable picks, right? There's like a 7 year pick trade limit and you can only trade and swap in consecutive years.
On the other hand, I did not see Grizzlies moving on from Bane for picks like that. With their coach gone too, is it over in Memphis?
