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?
Iโd rather be the reason that you stand corrected
Staring at the Larry O., my only competition is the man in the reflection..

trading a 2026 unprotected most favorable PELS-BUCKS pick swap? Joe Dumars is setting up this team for the type of failure that will force ownerships into greenlighting a total roster and coaching reset.
Is this Kasparas kid anthing good? Can he get you at least 12 points on a consistent basis in the nba?
I spent the last few games thinking, and while I reflected,
I accepted,
that half of the calls on the court, they were too subjective.
The refs kept blowing the whistle, but the pain was selective.
One minute I'm fine, then the next, I'm deceptive.
They talk about my dominance, but what if it's all defective?
Flopping my way to the line, Iโm the king of the fall,
But when Iโm hurt, they act like Iโm just faking it all.
They said I was soft, said my game was a joke,
But when I turn it up, they act like Iโm broke.
They wanna see me fall, trip, and writhe in pain,
But when I stand tall, it's the truth they can't contain.
They talk about the MVP, the accolades, the fame,
But can they handle the weight of my game, or just my name?
Every season, a new injury, another limping excuse,
But I keep coming back, no matter the abuse.
I rise from the floor, Iโm always on the grind,
But the media keeps hoping I fall behind.
They hate on my journey, they hate on my strife,
They hate on the way I play with my life.
But when itโs game time, they all start to mention
The guy who keeps limping, but never stops his ascension.
When itโs all said and done, when they hand me the crown,
Theyโll remember the pain, but forget how I shut it down.
Flops and bruises? A part of my section,
The only competition? The man in my reflection.
Hope buzzanon comes back now that we hornys are winning
>>149427726unc built like em crackheads
>>149427726James harden if he not fat
>>149427513or they fixated early on a guy and couldn't let go when his development didn't go far enough to warrant a 1st round pick and drafted him out of sunk cost fallacy
Wait so the Nets used all 5 of their picks to draft players? That's literally a third of their legal roster right?
>>149427726That man looks like he could punch your head off wtf. I wonder if Drayboon would try some shit with him

Whenever I See VJ Edgecombe highlights, he's just doing layups or dunking. But everyone says he's not actually good at finishing at the rim? This can't bode well for the NBA right? What is he good at? Just defense?

>>149428988she plays for south carolina, if i were her nigga i'd be worried because amerimutts really believe Canada is less advanced than the US. So i doubt she wants to stay with a nigga who plays for Toronto.
She needs a strong nigga from Golden State or New York city or even Philly like Jared Mccain.
>>149429159This guy won't even be half the player Doncic was lmao.
So have teams finally figured out that the first round in a meme and doesn't correlate with a player's actual, long-term value?
>>149429205He'll be even better. He was already busting the asses of AD, Kawhi, and Jrue Holiday during the Olympics scrimmages
>>149427513He's got good footwork and the biggest hands in the draft, he tested as a better athlete than Maluach in the combine, he and has good court vision. He'll be a good player.
ALL THE LEAFS ARE BROOWN
AND THE SKYY IS GRAYY
Ace Gayley had it coming for acting like hes that nigga
Me yesterday: Hugo Gonzales?! Who? Brad what have you done? 4 points and that percent, what is going on?

Mask off moment. Regardless of the context and whether or not you agree, why is a Bostonian media member actively taking credit for the destruction of the Miami Heat? You see shit like this. You see how Joe Cronin bends over backwards for Brad Stevens and you realize how rotten their connections are.
How Bill Simmons ever got a vote in the media awards with as much bias as he has is astounding.
The entire draft are busts! Not one superstar. End the nba!
I thought it was weird how any time a lanky rim defender was drafted, we heard Chet Holmgrenโs name rather than Wemby. Wemby is clearly better, and even with Chetโs ring, more widely known and regarded. Just an odd decision by the production team.
>>149428390Certainly more exciting than last years โWhoโs Who of WHO???โ
>>149430814Wemby is considered a generational prospect, they're not going to compare some guy drafted at the back of the lottery to him
>>149430714If you actually listen to the team podcasts you see that everyone either We Got Our Guy or We Got A Great Project or We Got A Steal, this could be the first ever time we have good picks only

Ace Bailey changed pfp to all black lmao and no mention of utah on his social, I almost feel bad for him how awful his camp is.
>>149431439as a black dude Utah doesnt seem to be that bad to live in, especially if you are a rich NBA player.
>>149431488Seriously if you have a gf anywhere is good to live if youre rich. You only go to nice cities for the hoes.
Nets piss me off you can tell they wanted to make a trade and failed, no serious organization is rostering 5 rookies
>>149430900You cant be serious no one in the draft can shoot
We live in a world where the term "Israeli D'Angelo Russell" exists
>>149431541>Not now sweetheart, I still have fifteen hours of Devin Booker's buckets left.
>>149431488lol why? it would be completely alienating, like living in a foreign country
>>149431343Chicago would be a winner if they had a good development program
>>149431488as a richfag that frequently vacations utah for ski trips, it's not that nice. the best case scenario is you build a big ass house up on a mountain with a great view and nobody around. you have to get someone to drive in all your liquor and weed and fun goodies because mormon laws tax the ever living shit out of fun stuff. the women are attractive but ultra waspy and the only ones that will fuck guys outside the mormon the circle are not women you want to date. the food is genuinely mediocre, it's not fun to get around, the weather blows during the NBA season, the fans are rough on you because they actually watch the game: see how they treated donovan mitchell when he was the only players making their team relevant. the nice living alternative ive seen people doing is other old people shit that very very few young people are doing and i dont think any 18 year old basketball player would be open to which is building a chateau in wine country southern utah and investing a ton of money into farming and shit. unironically Ace could just live in Las Vegas and make the 1h flight to SLC like how Kawhi lives in SD and flies to LA. or maybe he stays in Park City where you at least get some LA chicks that visit year round and the food is a little better.
>>149431488also i don't think people outside of utah fully grasp just how bizzarro mormon culture is there. it really does influence almost every aspect of life and the only times where it isn't painfully obvious you're living in mormon-land is when you find a really nice dive bar or when you're out in the wilderness
>>149431599Sounds based aside from the Mormon shit, granted Ace is not Karl Malone and isnโt going to enjoy all that great outdoors shit
>>149427585Not enough talent in the draft for teams to trade players for picks
>>149427737I don't know about 12 points but Kasparas can probably average 6 assists and 6 rebounds a game consistently right out of the gate
>>149427585Hawks traded the 13th for Pels unprotected first round pick next year, which should be good. But aside from that NIL made the draft shallow as fuck, not sure why theyโre televising the second round
>>149431624it's based if you're into outdoorsy stuff and a really tranquil lifestyle where you're purposefully trying to avoid people like i mentioned with building a house out in the middle of nowhere. i don't think a young kid that wants to party and is contractually obligated to not participate in the fun outdoor extreme sports (which is the main appeal of utah imho) would have fun there.
Mavs, Blazers and Suns are cornering the center market while multiple teams have no centers
>>149431693My Lakies are gonna get Capela, Horford and Kornet
>>149431693It's Cool Lakers are getting Jokic and Raptors are getting Giannis
>>149428120>TattooNot a snow bunny. Snow bunny's are pure. Tattoos are trashy.
>>149431488Mormonism has an absolutely cult like hold over the state. The government buildings that surround the arena in Salt Lake City are eerie. The liquor laws are strange. Of course there are normal, cool people in Utah, but itโs a red state with a very low black population. I wouldnโt want to live there, despite the beautiful landscapes, even as a white guy.
>>149431841the nets had one of the worst drafts i've ever seen
>>149427513The team is going up for sale and they want to entice a Chinese billionaire to bid for it
>>149431841We will find out in a few years that the Nets utilized AI models for this draft
Blazers are obviously getting sold to the ching chongs and I am here for it
the worst person you know hates what the sixers did last night
>why yes, my draft research is watching Hoop Intellect videos, and I think Collin-Murray-Boyles has all-defensive team upside

>>149431923He's going to lead the league in potential assists because no one else on the Nets knows how to put the ball in the hoop

>>149432174That is such a lowball offer, he'd be retarded to take it.
Minimum, its going to take a 5 year $140M contract to extend him without letting him go to free agency. Realistically, its going to be a 5 year $160M with incentives
>The Los Angeles Lakers are moving up in the second round of the NBA Draft tonight, acquiring the No. 45 pick from the Chicago Bulls for No. 55 and cash, sources tell ESPN.
>>149432294Lots of teams would gladly give Austin 100 mill. If he signed that extension, the lakers were going to trade him anyways.

>>149432341>bogged at 21>>149432272>>149432373yeah if he signs that contract he's on an even MORE tradeable deal. But I don't understand how max contract values work for a player: he just averaged 20-5-5, yet the max they could offer him is what amounts to $22 million a year? Is it the 'max' given the rest of the salary the team already has commited to LeBron, Luka, Rui, etc? Because someone like Scottie Barnes averaged 20-8-5 for Toronto and he got the full on 25% max with the 30% escalator and he shot worse than Reaves.
>>149432436>liver off a generator for 7 yearsWhy? Gasoline to power them is inefficient and doesn't last long so wouldn't that have been far more expensive than going through the cities electric? Did their home not have access to the cities electric? I don't understand. This sounds fake.

>>149432582He also brings over the China market which is basically free money. Blazers ig gained a million followers in the time he got drafted to now. Theyโve been scouting him for years as well. I donโt understand why people are praying on his downfall
>>149432510Why's he bitching? That's what you do on islands. I grew up on a barrier island in FL and we didn't have air conditioning and had bulbs on wires for light and we were chillin', that's island life nigga.

>>149432582>>149432606can he shoot? I watched some of his summer league highlights against the Kings last year when he was playing with the Chinese team, he looks smooth and coordinated for his size.
I think this trade also means Ayton and Williams are for SURE gone. Williams for sure but probably Ayton now too, they're going to want to get Clingan and Yang minutes.
>>149432360Fux yeah. Amari Williams, or Raynaud incoming baby!

>>149432683fr. As I got older my island in FL started to get more popular for that sort of thing when I got to enjoy it all the time. I lived on the river canal and two blocks from the beach, it was paradise. Besides, you condition your body to what it will tolerate. After not having air conditioning you get used to it after like a week, it isn't that bad.
>>149432643Whatโs wrong with posting on my phone when itโs convenient? Do you think Iโm sitting on my laptop all day?

>>149432925damn get this girl a dermatologist fr
>>149432921Nets & Pelicans proved once and for all, they are truly the poverty franchises of the leagueโฆand yet thatโs where Ace Bailey wanted to go
>>149432941it's about the city. that nigga ace does not give a fuck about basketball. new orleans is lit!!!
>>149432939no prescription can block paige oil I'm afraid.
>>149432941He wanted to go to those teams because those are nice cities and he could stat pad with zero thought about winning like LaMelo does. Most Zoomers donโt care about winning anymore. Statpad and get paid. Itโs why we donโt see any zoomers forcing their way out of shitty ass teams.
What did New Orleans do with a pick that's making the blog boys onions out?
>>149432627My Raptor has tanked for two years in a row and ended up with the 19th pick and 9th pick.
>>149432834They need to regulate the amount of three point shots that are chucked per quarter. Make the maximum number of 3pt attempts be 7 per quarter. The final 2 minutes, there are no restrictions. If this rule was applied, the coach would only allow their best shooters to take these shots. No more centers meme chucking. Somebody please spread the word. This game has been nothing more than a 3pt contest for the past decade
>>149432941This
>>149432953The fact is, Ace wasn't all that concerned with going to a well run franchise. He was hoping to go to a city with a reputable tradition of young, big booty black chicks. Unfortunately, he ended up in Utah, which does not have a longstanding tradition or reputation of young, big booty black chicks.
>>149432983>tankingeven worse, they were trying to compete and play hard with a mid roster, ala my Magic post Dwight years.
>>149433004His fans must accept caitlin overcame him
>>149432991He will become a snow bunny warrior in Utah. Ainge is probably putting plans in place for him to be groomed into the LDS
>>149432983that's not tanking that's just the scottie barnes propaganda failing. the fact that he has an all star team and a 225m contract under his belt makes him factually overrated.
>>149433006They were doing that and then decided to tank the last half of the season. Raptors beat playoff teams before the trade deadline and then sat starters at the last 2 minutes against tanking teams (and won anyway)
>>149433015oh you guys have no idea how utah works
>>149433015Ace isn't interested in snowbunnies. If he were, his preferred destinations would of been MINNY, ORL, DALLAS, or yes, UTAH. But Ace prefers young, big booty black chicks. This must be very disappointing for Ace.
>>149433035so they suck at tanking, even worse
>>149432983I'm really happy that Kawhi got you guys one. You guys constantly get screwed and it's not fair
>>149433015he's going to get lynched in utah
>Top 5 worst GMโs currently
1.) Sean Marks
2.) Masai
3.) whoever the fuck is running the Nuggets
5.) Nico Harrison (still not letting this ninja off the hook.
5.) Joe Dumars (only has had the job for like 9 months)
>I donโt want to get drafted by your team, I hate the city, the team and will gladly lose 15 million dollars and kill my PR as long as it means I donโt play for your team
>drafts you anyways

>>149433072the nuggets don't even have a GM
>>149433073sometimes you gotta pop out and show niggas
>>149433073Art of the Deal
>>149433073he's desperate, he got the Jazz to finally tank and totally whiffed in the lottery
>>149433072>only has had the job for like 9 monthstry like 2 months
>>149433073Itโs his welcome to the league moment. Nigga Ainge is ruthless. Remember when IT played in a hip injury and Ainge shipped him at the first opportunity? Remember when he robbed Brooklyn blind. Remember when he didnโt trade Lauri because he wanted 5 first rounders for him so now Lauris prime is as wasted on a shitty jazz team?
>>149433099>>149433073He just swung for the guy with the most upside. He had top 3 potential. I think tre from Texas would have been a better pick, though. He fits the Salt Lake City ethos. Ace doesn't, primarily because there are not any young, big booty black chicks in Salt Lake City, and there would have been plenty of young, big booty black chicks in his preferred destinations of New Orleans and Washington, District of Columbia
>>149433073The franchise who drafts you basically owns you for your first 5 years.
>>149433107Ainge hasnt done shit in his entire career. No, signing a superteam of kevin garnett and ray allen is not doing shit.
>>149433107Can't believe he didn't sell high on Lauri. He will never come close to that 25 ppg season ever again.

>>149432896Thatโs too much for Zion, should be one pick and expiring in my opinion
>>149427342Its incredibly hard for a 6'2 guard to consistently have 50% fg Its genuinely miraculous he ever even did. I think hes gotten close a couple times let me check real quick.
Picrel, you can basically always assume that he got 90 ft%. So 2018 and 2023 (wasted season because garbage franchise) got really close. But yeah as another anon said he takes too many of the hardest shots in the game to get this consistently. Fg% is biased towards people like Rudy golbert who take no 3s and get 60+% fg.
Its honestly kind of stupid when you think about it, to use fg% and 3p% right beside one another as a barometer for efficiency when theyre 1 half of the same stat, except one is less specific and doesnt control for anything
>>149433102>Picking Fears>trading for Poole >trading away next years 1st round pick. All in 48 hours work. This man is a menace
>>149433154yeah he was so close a couple seasons. Kyrie also only has one 50/40/90 season and he isn't even on as insane a shot diet as Curry is. If Curry had a shot diet like Kyrie's he would have like 8 50/40/90 seasons, but then of course he wouldn't be the Curry we all know and love. And that's not to say Kyrie doesn't take high degree of difficulty 3's and middies, but they still are nowhere near as insane as Curry's.
>>149433163Nets and Clippers need to be hung for building the most toxic championship teams
>>149433163This was more Brooklyn stupidity than anything Ainge did. Kinda dope of the Russian honestly, came in for 4 years, ruined a franchise, then dipped.
>>149433185What in Joe Dumars tenure as Pistonโs President (a team that got much better once he left) would make a franchise think โthis is our guy?โ Love him as a player but thatโs as far as his basketball knowledge extends
>>149433222He's obviously memeing for socials. Not sure if cool or cringe.
>>149433072>Top 5 best GMs currently1. Sam Presti (won the chip with a bunch of rookies and still has 6 million picks)
2. Brad Stevens (can pull a rabbit out his urethra every time)
3. Rob Pelinka (although he simply gets lucky with other teams being retarded or FAs falling for the LA meme)
4. Rafael Stone (for getting the rockets in a great spot)

>>149435298fleming, kalkbrenner and thiero could make an impact on a winning roster
so they have someone who is a decent assistant coach, and they made him a manager instead?
Let's play a game. We post our favorite sex position and people guess our favorite team.
My favorite position is me on all fours with one dude dominating my asshole from the back and me sucking another dude from the front. All my holes filled.
What's my favorite team!
>>149435103maybe shared a boy or two
>>149435677The Boston Celtics...
>>149435677How's the weather in Miami?
>>149435677Would say Nuggets but you didnโt say it was a black dude
Oscar Robertson-#2 in all time triple doubles by a wide margin
Playoff triple doubles-not even in the top 10
Frat boys across america about to rock this at every darty
>>149435877what's up with zoomer's and zero...
>>149435677The current NBA Champs The Oklahoma City Thunder!
>>149435628Around that time the belief was anyone from the Spurs front office/coaching staff would be extremely competent in all things basketball
To be fair Marks did great in his first few years turning bad contracts into first round picks and getting KD/Kyrie, but everything after that has been a disappointment and failure.
>>149435677damn miami sounds lit

>>149434411>giving Reaves the MaxLolno. His whole value is in him being relatively underpriced. If you have to pay him like a perennial all-star that is very much not worth it. Trade him now for the center they need

>>149434533Sixers are a dead franchise and will remain so until they're finally able to rid themselves of their "MVP" and his albatross contract.
And they deserve every fucking minute of it. They knew what Embiid was and doubled down on him anyway. This is a self-inflicted crisis and the funniest possible ending to the Process
Wemby really doesnโt even have one ringโฆ

>>149436603>>149436552they got AR motivated to put up killer numbers next season, hopefully his stat padding doesn't get in the way of winning for the team.
>>149435434Technically they only have 4 guaranteed contracts, 5 Team Options and 8 FAs (including TW players) for the next season. Filling up the roster with 5 rookies is good both for the tank (26 expected to be an excellent draft class) and the kids' development, though I still wouldn't rule out that they're silently preparing a trade package.
>>149435628Marks was probably Pop's most talented and beloved disciple. Remember that Pop wasn't 'only' the Head Coach of the Spurs but the President too. He named Marks GM of their G League squad right after retirement, brought him to his coaching staff as an Assistant only after a season and they won a ring together; then let him to be the right-hand man of the other pillar of Spurs' success, General Manager R.C. Buford. If he was still with the organization when Buford was elevated to be the CEO of the company who owns and operates everything that's Spurs Marks is now their CEO. Brian Wright, the executive who eventually got the job was only #3 in the pecking order.
>>149436824so he should be made part of the coaching staff and have the GM role be left to someone else then?
>>149432582They could have traded down to get Yang, they could consider shortening the center room so that a guy like Yang can actually get playing time. They could do a lot of things instead of taking him at 16
>>149436209Really excited to see how you and VJ are going to develop the 2-man game. Where are you staying in Italy, Joel?
