We don't respect ringless bums in this gen...

This nigga is ruthless.

>>149436776
Ace will pan out and love Utah.

>>149436603
>>149436552
they got AR motivated to put up killer numbers next season, hopefully his statpadding doesn't get in the way of winning for the team.

>>149436774
So why do BAWBs here dick ride Luka and Pete.

>>149436788
He’s going to ask for a trade and ruin his career

>>149436776
He did what he had to, Jazz needed someone with high upside. Everyone who they drafted up to this point is a bust (Williams) or role player (Kessler)

>>149436751 (OP)
based pete

Danny Wolf dropping to 27th pretty much disproves all the antisemitic conspiracy theories about the NBA that are constantly circulating.
If any such conspiracies existed Wolf would've gone top 10.

we got kd

>>149436552
>this nigga wants 50 mil a year
lmao even in their primes lebron, kobe, jokic, curry, larden, kd, giannis, etc weren't making that kind of money
who the fuck does he think is actually going to pay him that much, let alone 35 mil a year

My wolvies are picking/trading next :)

let's go wolves

>>149436875
Wizards and Hornets. This new CBA is designed to make players go to shitty teams for max deals

>>149436875
Jamal Murray's contract has every teams 3rd or 4th best player thinking they're worth more than $40 a year

>>149436776
what did he do?

Meal.

i fell for the consoomer meme and tried out the squid game meal from kfc. it was ok

>>149436940
this is not real food

>>149436875
salaries are a reflection of revenue so it's dumb to bitch about them. Beyond that there's always some team ready to fuck it up for everybody. In fact some teams like the nets are notorious for doing so especially restricted free agents

>>149436552
>5 years, $246 million for a 20-5-5 peaker
nahhhh

>>149436940
>>149436954
These fast food companies have y’all on lockdown

the nba got 0 aura next to the nfl

>>149436940
not NBA related. These types of posts should be reported on-site and be an automatic 3 day ban. There is an entire board for posting your meal. This couldn't be any further from being NBA related.

>>>/ck/

>>149436989
ironic because /ck/ has some of the most ban happy mods on the site

>>149437046
dont post off topic shit thats not about cooking then

>>149436776
ace bailey will sign with the shanghai sharks to avoid playing in Ut*h

>>149436776
Actually he's just a retard

>>149436776
he made the only sensible choice. Utah tanked this whole season just to get a shot at elite talent only to get fucked. Then some talented retard tried to force his way into a spot falls to them. You make that pick 100/100

gilbert arenas show is the gayest shit. his host is a fucking faggot. his guest hosts are fucking retard nba bottom feeders. arenas should go make a podcast with d wade and rondo the fuck. he can bring jennings and kmart theyre not retarded.

>>149436776
based in my book

Pistol Pete threads make me want to vomit

>>149436774
if you swap pistol pete with *popular player from that era* you think he dont stack rangz nigga?!?!
that's the new thing we're doin

>>149436989
Wendys arguably has a slight connection to the NBA via Jr Bridgeman

If Adam 'Cuck' Silver wants to reduce achilles tears then simply make the court the same material as tennis and track fields.

>>149436976
yeah. i need to get off that nasty shit

>>149437188
>zit faced teenager
not a good look, might cut into his endorsement revenue

>>149437188
What a fucking incel. A non-retarded GM would have traded him and fleeced some retarded team for their core.

>>149437259
cant believe they invited all okc fans to watch it live wow

>>149437202
Spurs won the draft…again

>>149437152

Wasn’t there a dark skin prospect that looked like ANT and played SG projected to go in the lottery? Or maybe I dreamed it

>>149437303
for some reason modern nba players feel like manlets. here melo and bron look tall

>>149437343
?????

>>149437320
all the top picks are now guards that shoot and don't play any defense. When I saw what the Charlotte Hornets took, I knew they're never going to change. They're going to be in the exact same place 10 years from now.

my wife is about to leave me for a better point guard

>>149437377
Seriously, why wouldn't they take Ace Bailey there?

>>149437377
Hornets tanked another year to draft Luke Kennard

.

>>149437320
because they are manlets. everyone adds 6" to their height now.

>>149437407
Is that a real woman?

>>149437188
This kid wasn’t even alive when LeBron was drafted.

Let Marks cook

Brandon Roy was sabotaged medically by Nike to make sure lebron and nike wouldn’t have an adidas athlete taking over the NBA. Look it up. Jaylen Brown being left off the Olympic team is more evidence that nike regularly does this.

>>149437454
Derrick Rose as well.

>>149437444
How does he still have a job?

>>149437303

Canada seems like a nice place to raise a bussy family

>>149436776
He's a retard. You don't hire someone that had no interest in your team. Ace didn't give them an interview and didn't work out for them but they drafted him anyone. That's kind of fucked up.

I'm really good at guessing rookie stat lines.
Notice before the 23-24 season began, I guessed Wemby's rookie numbers.
I predicted he would average
>22 pts per game
he averaged 21.4
>7 rebounds per game
he averaged 10.6
>3 assists per game
he averaged 3.9
>4 blocks per game
he averaged 3.6
>2 steals per game
he averaged 1.2
For his body type(skinny), he impressed me with his rebounding. I pretty much nailed the other stat lines. Now it's time to predict Cooper Flagg's rookie numbers:
15 pts, 6 reb, 5 assists, 1.5 blocks, 2 steals per game

>>149437454
Adidas are cucks then

>>149437188
ringless

is canada even that bad

>>149437444
AND let Egor, Timme, Thomas & Keon develop.

>>149437538
it's alright

>>149437417
He's a wing player that can't shoot. The Raptors project 6'9 failed miserably and they're all on other teams. He's not getting a second contract on this team.

>>149437454
Dirk Nowitzki was a part of a secret Cold War experiment called operation dunkelheit used to boost germanys image post Cold War. De classified Bundesnachrichtendienst files mention the operation. Dirks coach had ties with the German secret service and used unique training methods on Dirk in his youth. His physical and athletic skills were boosted during these training sessions.

Dirk is also not a real person. Old BND files refer to a subject “34-GN” which shares a birthday with Dirk and a physical profile.

Schools were set up for these projects (led by Holger) where the government would run test, and devoted millions of dollars in research on how to make these athletes perfect.

what the fuck are the raptors doing. ingram scottie and this nigga?

>>149437538
High cost of living
Bad weather
Bad taxes
US companies won't sponsor or give endorsement deals to players that play in Canada.

It's a terrible place to get drafted.

>>149437538
is india bad

>>149437538
the government is about as corrupt as the average african country's.
both can't produce their own cars either.

>>149437579
Darko likes people who can dribble, drive and pass. Wants a team where everyone can get to the paint and CMB is probably already the third best defender on the team

>>149437574
Most African players like, Serge Ibaka, Mutombo, Bol, Embiid all use fake birthdays (some fake names) because there home countries do not provide birth certificates. Manute was playing in his 50s towards the end of his career. Mutombo was in his 30s when he was drafted.

>>149436958
Fast food is the peak of cuisine

>>149437579
Masai is washed and delusional. He keeps drafting players that can defend but can't shoot. He's tried and failed to get these players to become even average 3pt shooters. Adding another non-shooting bum is just more proof that he should be fired

>>149437454
>>149437574
Hybrid schizo, please take your medication. This is basketball, not some grand conspiracy

>>149436774

man himself said he had nothing to do with that so you can stop pushing that lie.

Look what’s going on in the Middle East and you still chose to stay asleep and ignore what’s in front of you?

>>149437579
masai needs to be fired

Now that Canadian guards are the new meta, who finna cop Ryan Nembhard?

Magic would be Kyle Anderson with AIDS in today's NBA.

>>149437574
I worked in Wurzburg. His school was not far from my bus stop. I worked with German people that literally went to school with Dirk and knew him growing up. You need to take your meds, anon.

>>149437612
The actual Serge Ibaka died in war. Serge Ibakas real name is Idriss Ibaka.

>>149437087
You got it backwards Anon. Outside of that ring-winning season as an Assistant Coach he's always been a GM or an Assistant GM (to one of the best in the field). He wasn't a coach who ventured into GM work but the other way round. Pop mentioned this once:
>“A player’s perspective and a management perspective are different from a coach’s perspective,” Popovich explained. “It was good for him to do that. Not many people get to do that before they are a GM so it will serve him well.”

It was also not a coincidence Marks was hand-picked to get the asset-starved Nets back on it's feet after the historical catastrophe that was the Billy King's reign.
>“Intelligence level is off the charts, sense of humor is off the charts, compassionate and empathic guy yet willing to make decisions,” Popovich said.
>“When he would sit in our meetings, whether he was GMing or coaching, he was always someone whose presence exhibited gravitas. He was someone I listened to and go to for opinions.”
>“With Sean, he’s going to stay the course. He knows what needs to be done, how to build a culture. He knows what that entails,” Popovich said. “Part of that is persistence and doggedness. Being able to persist in what you know is going to work.”

>>149437574
>Bundesnachrichtendienst
German is not a real language.

>>149437527
nah. Cooper will avg 30+ points per game and be the only rookie other than Wilt and Wes Unseld to win MVP their rookie season

niggas is already so bored a few days into the offseason they making up nba fan fiction

>>149437737
have you actually watched Flagg? He's not a scorer like that. In fact his bag is one of the weakest parts of his game. He's closer to Shawn Marion than he is KD. Also doesn't help that he walks into being a non-creating 3rd option

>>149437686
Dennis Johnson was going to expose a drug trafficking operation within in the NBA but was forced to keep quiet. Johnson feared for his life during his nba career. He was a witness in a locker room drug dispute which a teammate as sent to the hospital. This was covered up. Johnson questioned who was “in change” constantly.

A letter mentioned that a champion guard was being followed and was set to be killed. “He knew about team owners, drugs and money laundering” “they’ll make it look like a heart attack.

Guess how Dennis Johnson died in 2007.

>>149437776
Cooper = AK47 with range, expect his best scoring seasons to be about 14-16ppg but still in all nba conversations

>>149437800
Dennis Johnson was barely featured in the 2008 champions celebration. He was also working on two documentaries and a book at the time of his death. He claimed “the truth won’t be fun to read”

Dennis is rarely mentioned in Celtics docs/celebrations that honor past champions, despite the fact that he won a FMVP.

>>149437844
Dennis Johnson won FMVP in Seattle young dumb one

>>149437775
this happens at all time here off season or not. i wager to say this board is the worst for this kind of thing, which is remarkable. you can back up any claim you make with footage, stats, WATCHING THE ACTUAL GAMES, but it is still widespread. amazing.

laimbeer is still based to this day for never apologizing for being an asshole

they lowkey cooked

you'd think of all the teams to rip off the Raiders colors it'd be the Pistons since they effectively already did with the Bad Boys logo.
not the Nets.

NBA is not ready for this level of whiteness.

>>149437929
Nets should change their team name to the Molochs, and pic related should be their mascot and team colors.

>>149437965
is that a bogdanoff

>>149437965
literally looks likea mexican

>>149437857
You’ll have an eye opening moment about life and you’ll realize that I was right all along. This is way bigger than you can comprehend.

The second apron makes it really hard to be a hipster bandwagon fan. How the hell am I supposed to tell people I’m a Cason Wallace fan when I know he’ll be on the Trailblazers or some shit in 2 years? I can’t just say I like SGA. Thats what plebs do.

I’m going down a path of no return, it will probably cost me my life but it’s the risk I’m willing to take.

>>149438123
sga you can still be heterosexual

>>149437363
erm, actually da bumba carried MVP, FMVP and top 10 player Shaq to that trophy. It should be him!

>>149438150
No he can't.

Canada and Toronto is not that bad, Collin. Get your shit together

>>149437860
>look up random 15-20 ppg mega shitter from the 90s that literally nobody talked about at any point of his entire career
>"wtf this nigga was cookin!!!!!"

Raptors trade: Kawhi, Marc Gasol, Serge Ibaka, Danny Green, Norman Powell, Kyle Lowry, Pascal Siakam, OG Anunoby, Fred VanVleet

Raptors Receive: RJ Barret and Immanuel Quickley

To those of you that think that Masai is a good President of basketball operations, can you justify this shit? Why shouldn't he be fired for such poor asset management?

>6'6
>white European
>can speak Spanish fluently
>drafted to Sputh beach
>drafted to the Miami Heat
Some people are fucking blessed. The amount of latina pussy this bitch will get will be astronomical. I'm fucking jealous. Fuck him.

>>149438211
what about the picks

>>149438223
The only picks that we got back for players was 1 second rounder in the OG trade and 3 firsts from the Pacers in the Pascal Siakam trade.

>>149438220
>list all the reasons you would have a crush on him if you were a chick

>>149438377
Hard to believe there are people who are so naive as to believe that multimillionaire 6’9+ athletes do not constantly fuck

Joe Dumars went on the podium and said they think Derrick Queen is a foundational piece. I mean I hope he's right but idk about that chief

>McConnell loses in the finals and cries
>sister immediately get waived
can’t spell McConnell without two Ls

>>149438410
Had 7 turnovers in a game 7 as well after all that great BAWB hope shit

>>149438410
He showed why he should always come off the bench

>>149438400
I'd be terrified. You can see the path to a Sabonis-like offensive hub down the line but I don't see how he survives on defense. Then there's the Zion/Missi fit. They gave up an unprotected first for that

The Minnesota Timberwolves are trading the first pick in tonight’s NBA draft -- No. 31 -- to the Phoenix Suns for No. 36 and two future second-round picks, sources tell ESPN. Suns continue rebuild by moving up to 31 and 41 in draft -- send out 36, 52, 59 and two future seconds.

We won the mothafuckin draft

>>149438400
Joe Dumass should be fired. Calvin Boothe tier nigga

>>149438423
some team will overpay for him, same with AR and then retards will complain about the CBA

holy shit I was in that thread! nice predictions bro

>>149438444
He will never be woj

Pacers got cucked so hard after overachieving man. I feel bad for that franchise. Can they recover?

>>149438490
Recover what? Their team is a bunch of rookies and pascal siakim

>>149438470
Yeah but Woj got Me Too'd and now he's stuck being the assistant GM for some shitty college.

>>149438430
Shame that the Suns are acquiring a bunch of draft picks for this year and trading picks from other years when there is a lot of mid right now.
Hopefully they draft all power forwards now so they can round out this roster

Zion is gonna get moved and their gm is a moron. Who's in?

I'm doing my own Nets rebuild in 2k, gonna draft players that play different positions this time.

>>149438519
I thought he had cancer

In my very humble, honest opinion, I believe this draft of niggas be the weakest since the 2000 draft fr fr smdh

>>149438581
Name one Zacharie Rissacher highlight

>I believe this draft of niggas be the weakest since the 2000 draft
Name me one noticeable nigga from 2024's draft.

>>149438581
it is impossible to have that opinion after last year

>>149438565
You don't go from the making 10's of million on ESPN to being the GM of some shitty college basketball team. He did some shit, got caught, "quit" and then quietly went off to some joke of a job.

LeBron in the 2017 and 2018 NBA finals....

>>149438672
Jaylen Brown's contract is fucking trash. I wonder if Brad Stevens will find a team dumb enough to trade for him for picks

>>149438798
Girl in a hotel in colorado...

watching VJ Edgecombe finishing highlights right now

warriors did a trade

>>149438812
Its not trash. Its not great but its acceptable. If you wanna see a trash contract look at trae young or zach lavine

>>149438798
Jokic…

why did they make the draft 2 nights? the second round is like 2 minutes for each pick

>>149438833
For the ads goy, make sure to watch each one and follow up on what they're selling. (This post is sponsored by State Farm, an NBA Partner)

>>149438833
they had to shamelessly milk Bronny and they can't just make that a one off for optics reasons even though everybody already knows what it is

>Rape is not funny.
For some people

>>149438892
Puka is boning Sydney Sweeney and Pooper Fagg is kissing boyos on da mout. Oh hell naw

rape is inherently a funny thing you just mind your own business and get surprise fucked lmao

Hansen Yang will be a more impactful player than Cooper Fag. The white boy era is over. It's the dawn of the Han Chinaman era.

>>149437527
Wow you gave a milquetoast stat prediction that almost exactly mirroes what he averaged his last 2 years in Europe ur a savant bro

>>149438892
BAWBs…

>>149438986
How much did Klutch Mafia pay you to say this?

>1 piece of the l*kers "big 3" has ALREADY said "no thanks, i'm opting out and testing free agency next year"
>doncic has 1 year left on his rental and then his player option will kick in, and since he sees one big mouse preparing to flee the ship, he will see the writing on the wall and be that much more likely to OPT OUT and become a free agent after next year as well
>james is currently deciding on his player option, and since reaves just said "nah" AND he knows doncic has only 1 year left on his rental period AND there's new ownership in town that he won't be able to control as well AND he's the oldest player in the league, he might not want to put up with a rebuild (a la doncic or reaves), opting OUT and becoming a free agent

MEANWHILE...

>the Dallas Mavericks have officially won The Trade, certifying the results via the #1 overall draft pick Cooper Flagg, ensuring the next face of their franchise will be securely with the team for the next 4 years on a rookie deal and almost certainly the next 4 years after that via his first long term extension, placing him at 26 years old, aka the same age as doncic is NOW
>the players are signaling early on that they will be coalescing around the #1 overall draft pick, meaning team chemistry building is quickly underway as nobody is trying to jump off of a sinking ship
>Anthony "All Day" Davis, an NBA champion and 3 time blocking champion, will be imparting defensive insight and Kyrie "Uncle Drew" Irving, who is also an NBA champion and Ancestral Chief, will be sharing offensive wisdom with the young, blue chip, #1 overall draft pick, a true 2 way and generational player

The l*kers are in embarrassing disarray as a result of being fleeced by The Dallas Mavericks.
The Dallas Mavericks have extended their championship window by at least 10 years as a result of winning The Trade.
The time for you to admit your basketball ignorance and apologize is now.

Apologize.
Say you are sorry RIGHT NOW.

VJE's tape looks better than maxey and mccain

>>149439051
Imagine if Cooper learns Kyrie’s handles and AD’s defense

lets not go crazy here. Baily is 6'9" with TMac atheticism

>>149439104
So you’re saying the most inaccurate part of your prediction is the portion that didn’t mirror his European stats?

>season ends
>/nba/ is the most active its been in 3 months
interesting

>>149439169
Niggas here don’t watch games

>>149439117
there are 0 people not named bailey rooting for this retard

>>149439104
Yeah and that's where you fucked up, stupid. Should have full commited but you got cute, didn't want anyone to realize you were just straight copy pasting from his Europe statline but I STILL caught your weak ass and called you out. I'd of respected you more if you predicted like 25-13-5-4-4 and missed everything at least for being original but ur a straight copy-paste bitch. Get fucked, bitch. Sit.

>>149439169
SGay doesn't draw

Haven't been on all day today or yesterday but has Inceltic replied to his pathetic excuse of a team blowing xirselves up?

>>149439117
He's from Chattanooga? With how picky he was about his destination I assumed he was from some major city like NYC/LA and didn't want to go somewhere less impressive. Fucking Chattanooga???

>>149439169
it's the time of year where people have hope, teams are getting shaken up, and guys are getting fleeced. It'd be weirder if it wasn't active

>>149439183
>>149439166
They're seething because my predictions were so close. Incel rage is funniest of all rages

Now that both the Celtics and the Heat will be ass for the next several years, what rivalry will dominate /nba/? Will it be SGA vs Luka? Wemby vs Flagg?

>>149438123

>>149439227
Jordan was betting on games he played in. Execs knew but also knew well that banning MJ publicly would result in the loss of billions of dollars. This one is more public so i won’t go in-depth

>>149439169
Almost like the draft just happened retard

>>149439282
Also the bulls were paying Michael even when he retired. Look up David Sterns history, he is a ruthless and smart man. He’s the reason why the NBA didn’t go bankrupt but the leagues integrity was the cost of doing so. Silver does some things but not as bad as Stern who’d do it openly and said fuck your to people who questioned.

>>149439165
VJ does more than ace. Defends better, better ball handler, better at the rim, more bounce, better distributor.

>>149439258
hes just a lil nasty

my wolvies have traded down 5 spots for 2 future picks from the suns

How good do you guys think Cooper Flagg will end up being? I think best case scenario, he is around Jayson Tatum's level. He'll probably be a better defender though so he could end up a bit above him.

I'm Nets Kg

>>149438892
why bawbs do this

>>149439312
Quality role player.

>>149439294
Spencer Haywood almost killed Paul Westphal for suspending him.

He got his address, called up a gangster buddy and cut the brakes to his car. The only reason why it didn’t happen is because Spencer’s mother talked him out of it and planned to snitch on him.

>>149439312
He'll be the white Amen Thompson

>>149439312
>15 pts, 6 reb, 5 assists, 1.5 blocks, 2 steals per game

>>149439312
Tatum without the Kobr obsession so he'll be more efficient

Are my Celties going to take Maxime Raynaud?

this is the group that should've covered the 1st round last night

I’ve already been cursed. I will die an un timely death so may as well do as much as I can before it happens cause I don’t know when. I already avoided it once but unfortunately another was taken in my place.

what a fag lmao

2026 fmvp: kd
2027 fmvp: goon
2028 fmvp: amen

why do they always still pretend that it's a timberwolves pick, and then the guy fleming is probably going to come out wearing a wolves hat too as he is shipped to phoenix

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

Staring at the Larry O., my only competition is the man in the reflection..

it's over

is this the draft thread

why didn't the magic trade for CJ instead of bane im slightly confused about like a week after the trade

>>149439334
I think he's a better scorer than the thompson twins

this nigga looks like sid lmao

>>149439432
probably because Bane is bigger, better, younger, and not a defensive liability

>>149439431
yes

reach, who are the smellshits drafting?

The Boston Celtics are trading No. 32 to the Orlando Magic for Nos. 46 and 57, a 2026 second-rounder and 2027 second-rounder, sources tell ESPN.

wowie

So the Celtics looked at Maxime and Kalkbrenner and flat out said no

>>149439450

As an OKC fan I jumped for joy that he was selected before 10ths, because other casual OKC fan retards wanted him to be selected for some weird reason, Derek Queen as well,

What is even this body type

For me it's Jumpin’ Jack Flash by The Rolling Stones. Also fuck the Celtics and fuck the Lakers.

If the league adds more teams there will be more "parity" since teams will get shittier across the board.

"No Shadow for Broome"

In Philly’s gleam where banners hang,
And echoes chant the Process' slang,
A rookie's rise meets legend’s frame—
But Johni Broome won’t play that game.

He’s laced his dreams in Auburn’s fire,
With hands that crash, with heart, aspire;
Yet whispers swirl from court to bench:
"Embiid is king, you ride the trench."

my wolves are picking now everyone

LAKIES who we picking??

I love our draft pick. We just need a great coach to develop these young niggas

>>149439774
Somebody tall af

my wolves are trading this pick down to the la lakers

Someone needs to tell that bum reaves hes not as good as he thinks

Oh, Lakers got a run and jump man

Why did Thiero fall so much?

>>149439539
Magic GOD here: our roster for the next 5 years is basically set.
1. Suggs (or AB depending)
2. Bane
3. Wagner (ein schwertz!!)
4. Paolo
5. Wendall Carter Jr. Or whomever the fuck we get when we dump his sorry ass (least happy about this)

Bench (in no order particularlyl
6. Isaac
7.Suggs/AB (depending)
8. Jett Howard (he's on the serious come-up)
9. Moritz (he low key should start but he's too much of a FREAK off the bench)
10. Da Silva (also on the serious comeup)
11. MAYBE Jase but I want that nigga to cook in the G-league some before he's ready
12. Goga (the 'cord and E. Colonial faithful want homeboy to start but I ain't about it)

Penda also going G league or two-way

We don't need picks or more niggas to develop. We're ready to compete N.O.W. Screen cap this shit for when we're in the ECF next year, I know I will, for better OR worse! Future is bright in Central, not a single nigga can @ me for it.

>>149439568
we fucked son. that mad Canadian Jokic hater is going to feast. probably already writing fake storylines that tickle his pickle.

All you have to do is pick the center Masai. The 7'1 stretch big fell into your lap. Tap it in. Pick the French guy and don't you dare even look at any African wings.

>>149440447
The roster is full, Presti is just retarded for this moment, the Free Agency this offseason is sexy and full of emeralds,

Legit could've traded this pick, this guy overlaps with a free agency signings and trades OKC can make, OKC HAS A FULL ROSTER REMIND YOU

OKC could add Nickeil (Shais Cousin) , Quinton Grimes, Gary Trent, if they're looking a sharpshooter this guy looks like a bench warming nobody,

>somehow steal of the draft Carter Bryant

I was so angry as OKC fan I was just jumping for joy when Queen, Essenge and the other busts got picked before him, I really wanted Carter on OKC,

We were just one pick off, ironically enough Sorber is friends with Carter but Sorbers use is redundant if Jay-Will exists

>>149440607
That's me in the background on the right

>>149440415
Probably couldn’t trade the pick away, so he just took some shitter that wouldn’t be competing for minutes. It’s not like the Thunder are lacking for depth. I’d be shocked if Topic even starts a game this year.

>>149440607
me in the black

you niggas are really arguing about 2 way guys in a draft with the worst depth in years

>>149440644
>>149440710
Carter Bryant averaged 3 buckets a game.
Not one.
Not two.
But three. A whole buckets per 30 minutes of action.
And he's your """steal""" of the draft?

>>149440710
Sorber is a pick to keep OKC competitive when they have to pay Chet and Dub. They won’t be able to afford IHart, and Sorber fits that gap very well. Don’t get me wrong, Carter would have been good, yeah. You can’t have too many do it all guys

>>149440446
Why are all babbs like this?

>>149440733
>I’d be shocked if Topic even starts a game this year.

Oh he's definitely starting, people have talking about him alot, Luka Doncic-Lite I hear, he's definitely gonna make some appearances as a possible starter/sometimes comes off bench

I just don't know where Brooks can go, maybe he's a white Jdubs replacement?

if windhorst lost weight he'd be super attractive.

>>149440819
hes not starting. Cason is starting over him. hes likely going to be the backup guard and the eventually replacement for Isiah Joe because OKC wont be able to pay him.

Presti stacked a bunch of picks just for this reason, he wont have to overpay role players and then ship them out with picks for low when they dont pan out or you run out of cap space (Denver). this what a competent GM looks like.

>>149440768
He can be a godtier defender Jaden McDaniels/Mikal Bridges, if developed right.

There's just something about him that has potential, everyone else looks like pure busts except for Cooper and Harper

>>149440787
Its funny cause with IHart I wonder if he would be heartbroken that he has to walk away/traded away from the team that gave him the first chip

He was at the parade and celebrated with some fans and theres a day named after him in OKC

>>149440819
>Oh he's definitely starting
He's not starting over Shai or Dub lmao

>>149440819
>Oh he's definitely starting
over who nigga kek. shai? lmaooooo

>>149440821
na

>>149440440
That's probably why picks were good selections

I trust that Cooper Flagg is basically 2025 pippen but he just has no aura. Which is fine. But even Paolo had more aura.

Every year the draft just gets worse and worse. Steph curry killed basketball we need to start a discussion

>>149440844
Eventually he'll start once or twice or if Shai or Jdubs get hurt, Cason is more of a pure defender and didn't work well when he was a starter

The wolves got the largest man in the draft.

>>149440886
>hes been fat his entire life

>>149440908
7'3, wingspan is 7'6

Fuck, OKC should've drafted him at 44, how the fuck did people miss him?? he could totally replace Chet, looks like a natural big and not a holocaust victim like Chet

he looks better than Rookie Wemby in some of the film im seeing too, he played for the national basketball league in Australia so he can definitely evolve faster compared to the college fags who are often drafted

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBlbDuUInbg

>>149441031

Not only is it cold and full of Jeets, but if he spends more than 183 days per year in Canada then he has to pay Canada taxes even on the income he makes in the United States.
