>>149420113
If you don't go after Durant who can you even get? Only Giannis is better if he asks out and there will be better packages. Again, pat riley isn't actually going for a trade. He's just bullshitting.

>>149421451
He’s right, I remember people on this board in particular saying OKC wouldn’t win because they lost to Luka round 2 last year and even Draymond saying they won’t win because they smile too much after victories. Then when they do win people act as though it was already a foregone conclusion they were going to win/they had too much talent not to win
People said the same shit about Boston in years past as well

>>149421451
This whole verse is facts. He should actually rap it.

I spent the last few days thinking and while I reflected,

I accepted,

that half of the opinions on our trajectory were rooted in resentment.

It was infront of your face all year, But you chose to neglect it.

The more milestones we reached, The more people disrespected.

They tried to say we were too young, Hating on how we were connected.

Predicted our downfall every step of the way

& when we succeeded they acted like it was expected.

We ignored the noise, They said i was being nonchalant bc I never would address it,

Why would I shed light on rage bait and misdirection?

I’d rather be the reason that you stand corrected

>>149422631
I really expected the nets to make some noise this draft but they did a great job in being disappointing

>>149422698
I think our GM is an idiot. He got a sixth pick yesterday (five in the first round) in exchange for a salary dump clearly angling for some sort of trade, but why the fuck would anyone want a half dozen mid first round picks?

He has completely failed to make any progress since the big 3 imploded but it is seemingly enough for the fanbase to draft replacement level guys to ‘develop’ and flip for more low draft picks later

Average light skin dude

people here could unironically manage teams better than some of these front offices

>>149423320
I agree but there are politics in the front office we probably aren’t made aware of, like LeBron asking Pat Riley to use a first on Shabazz Napier then leaving in free agency.

>>149423320
Doubt. The reason (in many fields) laymen think they can make better decisions than professionals is because they don't have the whole picture. When a decision is obvious like "Oh yeah of course we need to get more depth off the bench" that is all easier said than done.

>>149423352
no amount of politics in the world explains the pels trading an unprotected first to get a late lottery undersized project

All these niggas mid af besides Cooper and Harper

Blazers reached hard for Yang. they will trade Ayton and Rob Will. They are cooking something with Deni and Clingan.

Is Cooper Flagg going to make the NBA officially a /whiteboy/ league? Are whites going to really run the NBA and WNBA? Black bros...this cannot be happening....

Walk on blacks, this the white man's league now.

>>149423618
Blacks are in for a rough time once browns are their neighbors ans not whites

>>149423618
Flagg will definitely NOT be a bust. But those thinking that he's gonna take over the league will be disappointed.

I don't know if this makes basketball good or shitty, but it really does have the worst draft in pro sports. There's a handful of impact players each year, and a bunch of dudes who can fill benches or rock the g-league before going overseas. There's occasional long shot hits, but they're pretty rare. Makes non-lottery draft picks kinda worthless and the trade market weird. But in a way, I guess it makes the better front offices shine.

>>149423674
It also means basketball scouting and college development is close to perfected. There's almost never a complete unknown to blossom these days.

>>149423754
Europe still produces a few unknown niggas like jokic

>>149423674
You have to basically be 6 4 to play in the nba so like your options are already very limited. A lot of people just get thrown in there cause theyre bean poles

>>149423787
Good point. Overseas scouting still has some holes, but for American players, all these guys are known products once they hit this draft.

Genuine question, because he's actually very good when he plays, do you guys consider Zion a bust? He didn't go full Jamarcus Russell, but kinda close, no?

>>149423847
yes he's a bust. The worst kind of bust in fact. His talent is straight up undeniable so teams are scared to drop him, but his mindset and attitude will forever cripple him. It's a recipe to achieve nothing and get a lot of people fired in the process

>>149423814
I think with jokic he got overlooked because there are so many slav big men who do 90% of what he does but lack the rest that make him generational. Sabonis Nurkic etc

the more i've thought about it the more i understand the yang pick. reath time lord and ayton are all on expiring contracts and i sure as shit wouldn't give them a new one if i was a gm. Wouldn't be surprised if ayton and time lord end up shipped out before next season starts.

>>149425833
Brooklyn is extremely Jewish, feels like Tsai and Marks are still paying penance for Kyrie moreso than building a team. I like the Wolf pick though everything else on the roster is garbage

>>149425817

monteverde bros how we feeling?

because they hit on PP and refs will still let their bench guys hack the shit out of any and everyone

>>149425856
Brooklyn has lots of Jews that hate Israel

>>149425856
we jews are divided in brooklyn, its like 50/50 now when it comes to israel kek

>>149425848
They will be but the thing is Portland was bottom 5 in 3 pointer % so they really needed a scoring guard since Simons wasn't consistently giving them that for his salary hit.
So it's more "How are you going to play both Centers when your bigger priority is scoring from deep?"

I guess it's one thing if we actually keep Jrue and Scoot turns into Kyle Korver but man I don't get it. We'll see I guess.

Niederhauser is going to be the best center in the draft. Monster athlete.

I remember your post

>>149426048
he looked really good before he his injury

>>149426048
because he's white and some mocks had him projected high. He's a good passer with good size for a guard but also a turnover machine with a shaky handle, low athleticism, and mediocre shooting. Could pop if the shot comes around and he tightens his handle but it's a long road

Im continuing this previous argument from a prev thread cause why not

>>149425808
You're right that stars usually go to bad teams that’s how the lottery works. But there’s more nuance to Ace Bailey’s case than just “he’s delusional.” He was consensus top 3 most of the year, with tools that arguably give him a higher ceiling than Flagg or Harper. His slide wasn’t about talent, it was about agent maneuvering and team fit concerns, which has precedent. Kobe refused to play for Charlotte. Steve Francis didn’t want to go to Vancouver. Wemby had clear preferences. It’s not new.

Ace didn’t ask to go #30 to the defending champs. But wanting to fall to teams like OKC, the Wolves, or even Atlanta who have structure, spacing, and a path to serious development isn’t some wild fantasy. He saw two guys (Flagg, Harper) get drafted into ideal recovery spots. Dallas was banged up and still finished well. San Antonio had Wemby and still competed in games despite key injuries. Both Flagg and Harper walk into teams that can realistically be 4–6 seeds if healthy.

Meanwhile, Ace lands in Utah a roster that’s full of logjammed wings, no clear PG, and a rebuilding direction that’s been shaky at best. So yeah, he’s frustrated. He sees guys with less upside get easier paths. And let’s not pretend fit doesn’t matter: LeBron, AD, Kyrie all started on bad teams, but those teams were fully committed to building around them from day one. Is Utah gonna do that for Ace? Or is he gonna be buried behind Keyonte, Hendricks, and the next 6'8" forward Ainge drafts?

Ace’s frustration isn’t entitlement. It’s a calculated reaction to where his skillset is most likely to grow. You only get one rookie contract wanting to spend it in a place that isn’t constantly tanking or overcrowded is fair.

>>149426048
Knowing how to ball is the most important skill in the NBA.

As a Bulls fan i just want to say thanks to the Blazers for only making them the 2nd most retarded team tonight.

>Only one that cried was the one who made it out of South Sudan

>>149426109
he was #2 over harper for hot minute before bailey's stock started sliding --- which they actually moved him up their board as it became more likely that philly might not take him. same media outlet that cited embiid's injury as to why he's not top 80 player in the NBA but kept Zion Kawhi and Tatum high in their rankings.

Embiid will play 50% of the games at best and Piss George will rape not only their salary cap but performance too. Maxey is regressing for whatever reason. The gay Tiktoker is already damaged goods. I'm afraid you're looking at a totalled Corvette being held by duct tape and thinking it'll run.

I hope my Pacies get another center, maybe Maxime or Kalkbrenner falls to us somehow
I want to like Turner so much but man we need a 7 footer in the paint who helps us score more

Grizzlies fag here, I am satisfied at Cedric but he could have been on the table at #16 too

i have faith in /my/ Nets getting better they just have to trade off some of the extra guards & maybe fire the entire upper management & also get a new owner who isn't a chicom & also move back to New Jersey & play in Prudential Center.

>>149426460

>>149426487

>>149426489

RIP nets fans

>>149426429

>>149426513
Braun is the only rookie they have with promise. It's over

>>149426429

You're a clown

>>149426471
he looks sissy because he is 12 years old, his mom still drives him to games. by the time he is old enough to leave Dallas he will look a lot more mature. dude won't be able to buy beer until the end of the decade

>>149426516
21 is old now?

>>149426489
>>149426516
The Nets feel like a team that expected to get trades done before the draft.

>>149426534
They certainly won game 7 because Haliburton tore his ACL thanks to Lu Dort

Any prospects Jared Mccain levels of zesty? As a fag I need to know.

>>149426438
Nuggets are in trouble
>>149421451

>>149426473
These young dudes don't want to actually work for anything anymore. Be happy you're drafted and going to make millions man. You can get traded later if you're actually worth something.

>>149426503
4th is generous, Nets don’t have a single player that would start on a contender. They’ve been rebuilding for years and are without a future star or even somebody who could flirt with an all defensive team or sixth man award
They don’t even have a Derrick White-tier guy they can flip for assets like the Spurs post-Kawhi with DJM and White. You have to wonder what the fuck they have been doing all this time if not drafting and developing talent

Like why be in the lottery every year if you never draft any good players?

>>149426545
Haliburton didn't tear his ACL, and it wasn't because of Dort. You're dumb.

>>149426537
No Ja Morant Anthony Edwards and Evan Mobley all got drafted at 21

>>149426558
oh yea him and wemby seem kinda gay but I think it's the french thing from wemby

>>149426513
AG is fantastic and could probably be traded for a lot, but that would be as dumb as trading Braun if not worse. All they really need is for AG not to be injured in the yoffs, they'd have beaten OKC if he was full strength. Murray being sick and MPJs shoulder didn't help either.

>>149426503

the disrespect of having both NY football teams keep the name in New Jersey but the single NJ basketball team lose the name in the very edge of NY is crazy.

>>149426576
>Like why be in the lottery every year if you never draft any good players?
Awarding the best draft picks to perennially terrible organizations like the wizards is a stupid mistake by the NBA, they're putting all their future stars with teams that are guaranteed to not raise them to a high profile. The Celtics and Lakers should take turns getting the first pick.

>>149426551

Can you all stop being retarded, nuggets just need to get rid of both Porter Jr and Murray are overpaid fucktards getting 40 mill, the way they got raped is the same thing as the Minnesota series in 2024, Murray and Porter mentally break down when sauced up by solid beefy defenders like Dort and Caruso

Cause they're not facing the lakers where they're all traffic cones on defense and its a scoring episode, they're facing solid defense, which is the nuggets weakness since the franchise beginning

Keeping Gordon, and Braun should be the nuggets goal, if not, let the Joker go someplace else, either Rockets, Pacers or OKC, I can't really think of another team where his style truly fits and the players aren't shit, maybe Pacers, but they need to get rid of playoff droppers like Neesmith (chronic fouls) Toppin and Bryant

>>149426438
Lakers new ownership just forced LeBron into a farewell tour, Nuggets ownership is scarying fans in press conferences talking about trading Jokic and they still don't have a General Manager

>>149426850
You aren't trading Murray or Porter (or any of the other bench g-leaguers) without also trading Braun retard. He's the only asset other teams would actually want. Nuggets have zero assets to get off of those two otherwise.

Living in Jersey right across the river (15 mins from Manhattan) is amazing. You get to the the beautiful skyline of the city, you get cheaper rent, safer cleaner neighborhood, and the city itself is so close that you can still effectively enjoy all the perks.

>>149426995
booker is a way better scorer than murray

>>149426932
What are you not understanding? The Nuggets have zero picks, and Murray and Porter are some of the worst contracts and the league that no other team would take without picks. The only way Nuggets are going to get the assets to dump Porter or Murray is by trading Braun, or Holmes if he turns out any good (unlikely)
>preferably to Pacers, only team with the style he can fit in
LMAO if you think Jokic is spending entire games running in transition

Can Micic get a break? He just got traded back to Charlotte

>The Nuggets have zero picks, and Murray and Porter are some of the worst contracts

I see, I stand corrected, my fault Maple anon,

but for the Pacers style Jokić would thrive in the Pacers' team basketball style because their system emphasizes constant motion, quick decision-making, and unselfish play all things that align perfectly with his game.

Indiana runs one of the league's fastest and most fluid offenses, and while Jokić isn’t a transition sprinter, he’s elite at hitting cutters, initiating fast breaks with outlet passes, and dictating tempo without needing to rush.

Surrounded by willing movers and shooters like Haliburton, Mathurin, and Toppin, Jokić’s vision and touch would be amplified, making the offense even more unpredictable and efficient. He wouldn't just fit, he'd elevate everything they already do.

>>149426966
all in with what? booker's value is probably through the roof. booker would pair so well with jokic though.

>>149427002
Yeah but I don't think it's a big enough upgrade to justify what will have to be shipped with Murray for Book

bravo masai

you nugget doomers are weird as hell. They have an elite starting lineup that can outplay anybody even if Murray/mpj are overpaid. They need help around the margins which were intentionally kept thin because the last guy greatly overvalued his picks and wanted to force them into the rotation, which hilariously went south because he listened to Jokic's one request. It's not terribly difficult to find contributors on the minimum when you're actually looking for them

Their front office is super concerning though but you can't judge these new guys if you want to be fair. Even then this isn't the bulls or suns or whatever

they're in a corner but it's far from unfixable. People are really underselling just how stupid the bench thought process was. Watson/Strawther were worth a look and development but Booth thought Jalen Pickett was worthy of playoff rotation minutes. Go watch Pickett dribble. DJ was counted on for meaningful minutes. The whole situation was complete madness. You can just scour the waiver wire and found dudes who could contribute more than those guys. A complete flame out like Mo Bamba would have given you more than DJ did. Fucking turbo bust Killian Hayes could have contributed more than Pickett. Now notice that half the roster is full of picket level players. It's just extreme front office negligence more than strictly being tied up by circumstances

He's just an ampty stats scorer now. Doesn't affect winning like he used to, fan't defens, no explosiveness, he's basically a stretch PF these days.
