Angel is going to the Sparks

So what’s the outlook on the ways with the Celtics, Pacers, and Bucks seemingly out of contention. I’m guessing Knicks, Magic, Cavs are the main contenders to get out, with the Hawks and Pistons lagging slightly behind. The only other team that seems like they can make an impact is a healthy sixers

>>149453891

>>149453839 (OP)

>>149453891
LOL some scrubs are going to make the All-Star team next season and then demand a max contract. Next season is going to fuck up so many teams salary cap situations

>>149453891
76ers are gonna be good.

>>149453891

so yeah. Gonna be the Knicks, Magic, Cavs, 76ers if healthy, and a toss up between the usual .500 teams

Holy shit, Embiid actually has a serious chance of making it out the2nd round

>>149453974
>76ers are gonna be good.

People doubting Tyler Herro

>>149453807
The one thing that matters the most is the playoffs and how players perform there. Luka is one of the very few players that are better in the playoffs than the regular season. Even if Flagg turns out to be really really good in the regular season but ends up being a choker in the playoffs it's gonna look really bad for him.You can say all you want about Luka being fat and lazy but he was not a choker.

And another thing that is concerning that people dont realize is how much Luka loved the city and fans and planned to stay there for his whole career. Even if Flagg is as good as Luka, how can anyone guarantee that he will want to stay there and not sign somewhere else? I guess the supermax is something that can keep him in Dallas but at the same time this is the team that traded their superstar player one year before they were about to sign with him the supermax contract and made him lose over 100 million dollars. How can he even trust them?

>>149454082
Sadly Luka won’t ever win a championship in LA barring a miracle. He has no AD.

>>149454082
>Luka is one of the very few players that are better in the playoffs than the regular season
That was not the case in 2024

>>149454146
He was equal. He was more clutch in the playoffs but he had to rely on his teammates way more to help make it through each series. Unlike how people remember it , Shai was the best player in the Thunder series, and Luka did look worse in the clippers series.

>>149454118
I think he will win at least one with the Lakers. I also think he will win one or two MVPs. He should have won it in 2024 honestly but they gave it to Jokic

>>149454146
>the year where he got his team to the Finals after beating 3 50 win opponents as the 5th seed without another All-NBA player on his team

Even if you think it was his fault that they lost the Finals when it was clearly Kyrie's, he still had an insane playoff run. And he was playing on one leg too.

>>149454365

>>149454316
>the year where he got his team to the Finals after beating 3 50 win opponents as the 5th seed without another All-NBA player on his team

We're just gonna pretend Kyrie is a scrub now? Luka is the All-nba first team player, if all his stats and efficiency are down, then he deserves blame. I'm not gonna give him special credit when Hali just pulled off a better run this year, with a worse co-star, and damn near won the finals.

Hali smacked the team that smacked the team that smacked the Mavs and niggas talking bout Luka

>>149454025
He's going to play like 20 games next year and either misses the playoffs entirely or sustains some season-ending setback during the play-in game. He's never getting out of the *first* round again

>>149454996
and luka smacked the thunder, directly

>>149454948
Hali, unlike Luka, is a pass first Point Guard. He's the best in the league in getting his team involved and making others better, which is why he has the same amount of finals and CFs final as Luka.
> but we're not going to pretend he was even on the same level as luka
You're right, he's better, since he's not getting targeted every possession.
>if shai wasn't such an inconsistent refbabby okc wins much earlier
And if Boston didn't want to win at home, then Mavs get swept that finals. Cope all you want but the results speak for themselves. Luka is a first round exit with Lebron this year while Hali made the most impressive finals run in decades.

havent gotten this banner in ages. nice.

>>149454996
you mean the same team that literally swept the pacers last year

>>149454829
Yeah you are totally right. It's not like he had a much better team and coach than the 2024 Mavs had. And he definitely did not average 17 points in the post season. Oh and that one game certainly proves he had the better run, you are correct.

He didn't, but go ahead and tell me how PJ Washington and Kyrie are trash when they're the only reason Mavs beat OKC and the Wolves lol

>>149453839 (OP)
I remember there was a story about Yao Ming where he said the reason he grew so tall was because whenever his teammates were training at dawn, he's still sleeping.

I didn't say anyone was trash but this Pacers team as a whole is way better and deeper than the Mavs in 2024 were. That's why they can survive with their max contract player averaging 17 points

>>149454484
>We're just gonna pretend Kyrie is a scrub now?
>pretend

Kyrie is the quintessential "overrated for his high skill level that frequently fails to produce meaningful results" player. He has never once been on even a respectable team where he was the #1 option. Always has to be carried by someone else. Constantly unavailable for various reasons. Fucking completely shart himself in those Boston finals and cost Dallas a ring. Fell to pieces as soon as he had to step up and be the guy after the Luka trade. He has a high ceiling but spends more time on the floor.

He wasn't even the Robin to LeBron and Luka's Batman. Robin can still hack it on his own. Kyrie is fucking Batgirl. And not the cool Oracle Batgirl, the Alicia Silverstone one.

These underage memes make me think of the whole "worst pro team would destroy beat college team by 100 points" narratives.
>5th year senior starter on national championship ncaa team....SHIT LITTLE KID WHO CANT EVEN DRIBBLE

PVT. RAMIREZ, YOU ARE A PEDOPHILE

the whole 2024 finals discussion is like a litmus test of who actually watches and understands hoops vs who just gets hot takes from espn and twitter

>>149455631
Exactly. Luka is an overrated black hole fatass.

>149455668
and retards like this who just want (you)s are the latter

>>149455631
Yup. Anyone who thinks it's an actual finals has very low ball IQ.

>>149455631
>litmus teat for who understands sports
just like when someone says they prefer pro sports over college lol

>>149455697
How is it a hot take? We saw it this playoffs too. Luka is a god damn cone who is so fat his lateral quickness is slower than an a hippos

>>149455175
>Luka couldn't win with tingus and brunson
Porzingis was a perpetual flake who only got a ring with Boston because he was like the 6th best guy in the team. In Boston he was used sparingly and *still* got hurt and they finished the final without him and he spent all of this year having some AIDS-like mystery illness because of course he did. If that guy's your #2 you're fucked. And Luka and Brunson were redundant. Good player but not the guy they needed.
>Luka couldn't win with Kyrie and PJ
Kyrie is a Lebronbabby and PJ?. I know this is a shitpost by a shitskin but come on man.
>Luka couldn't even win with JJ Reddick and Dirk
JJ was never good and Dirk was like 75 years old by then
>Why do we still rate this guy?
Because we're not retarded Jeets like you?

>149455774
>averaging 40 mpg and playing through injuries severe enough that he needed to get knee injections

>>149455526
>I didn't say anyone was trash but this Pacers team as a whole is way better and deeper than the Mavs in 2024 were.
And I'm telling you they aren't. Hali is simply better and getting those bench players to be productive than Luka is, or was.
>That's why they can survive with their max contract player averaging 17 points
PPG averages for a pass fist PG mean absolutely nothing. He took 14 FGA this playoffs on average to Luka's 23 last year, no shit he's not gonna average as many points, the teams's system doesn't need him to. It needs him to get his teamates good looks and run in transition, and in doing so, he was able to win at a higher level more consistently than Luka was.
>>149455548
Don't care. Kyrie was not the first option on the Mavericks, on was not expected to be. He was Robin to Lebron because Lebron was actually Batman. Luka is more like an Aquaman, or a Green Arrow. 75% of the production Luka is given is being given up on the other end through his defense, and no players, not even prime Jordan, can produce enough to make up for a team shutting down their teamates and making them a scorer.

Can we train Billie Eilish to beat Brunson in a 1 on 1?

>>149454578
Kinda in the same boat. I had a massive crush on this girl and her boyfriend died in a car accident. I refused to ask her out. It felt wrong.

Why are we even discussing the 2024 *nals like it was legit? That shit is fake. Luka is 0-0 in the finals.

>>149455856
Kyrie was a direct cause of that finals loss last year because he got shook by a leprechaun lmao

>>149455888
jeets and flyovercucks are trying to make hali seem like a superstar threat so people will respect their *

>>149455845
I like how you ignored everything I said. Let me make things clear
>Luka is fat
>He is bad at defense
>He is a ball hog
>He struggles to play off ball
>he struggled to play different styles (literally needed a “you go then I go “ offense with Kyrie to reach the finals)

It doesn’t matter if he averages 30 while being a cone on the other end. He won’t be able to beat true championship contenders. He’s always injured because he’s a fatty, carrying all that weight around is gonna destroy your body

>>149454540
Paul George and Westbrap on the same team, do their guaranteed failures cancel each other or do they reenforce each other? Would ancient OKC have won a ring by dumping both of them?

>>149455982
????
they dumped both

>>149455888
The league didn't even have to rig the finals, Dallas was doomed once Kyrie had to play in Boston because he's a weakminded bitch. Of course, they still gave Boston a ridiculous whistle anyway because it's not like they have any officials who can call fair games

>>149455818
>and PJ?
Yes PJ Washington, the roleplayer who dropped 27 and 29 and singlehandedly won 2 games for the Mavs by being unguardable, while Luka and Kyrie were shitting the bed. Sounds like you didn't actually watch the series and are just defending your favorite self-insert fatass.
>Because we're not retarded Jeets like you?
Oh you're definitely retarded lol
>>149455899
No, because he was being guarded by Jrue Holiday and Derrick white, two of the best defenders in the game,while Luka was getting locked down by fucking Jaylen Brown. Celtics entire game plan was shutting down the roleplayers and letting Luka try and beat them by himself, and Luka couldn't even produce to his regular season standards in those circumstances, while being god awful on the defensive end.

What is it with players like Jokic and Luka where people will make all kinds of excuses for them shitting the bed as the bus drivers while blaming roleplayers? Not even Lebronfags are this bad.

>>149456028
People with high basketball IQ knows Boston wouldn't make it that far if everyone was healthy. They wouldn't even make it past Jimmy.

word to the wise...start tanking for kash knueppel now

bruh people here are so wrapped up in narratives they can't even string together coherent thoughts. Dallas was apparently so concerned with defense that they let DJJ walk to throw a bag at washed Klay. Carry the hell on

>instead of trading my Nets just drafted some frenchie lightskin, an israeli jew, another isreaeli jew, a russian BAWB and one (1) black american

hell nawl cant do dis im sick to my stomach we had the chance to draft super athlete gigachads with a high upside and ceiling for once and we just sign a bunch of unathletic BAWB roleplayesr.

all these bums about to be in guangdong tigers before the season over prolly but fuck it. Egor Demin the russian is my new guy, the new protagonist of NetsWrld. he just got a energy bout him, russians not built like other BAWBs... lets get it Egor dont let me down i know u a different breed from them #Jews who i do not recognise as members of NetsWrld due to solidarity with my palestiggas #KyriesAmazonLinkToldTheTruthBoutThemFolk

>>149456046
Don’t put Jokic and Luka in the same conversation you fucking cocksucking fuck. Jokic has a ring and MVPs to show, Luka has nothing to show except his fucking toilet.

>>149456095
You don't need DJJ when you're planning on getting AD

>>149455175

nobody has been able to win with him, because he sucks. the john starks of the current era.

>What is it with players like Jokic and Luka where people will make all kinds of excuses for them shitting the bed
I watched the finals unlike you and actually saw kyrie being fucking awful and bricking everything. His PPG was saved from being like 13 by two games that didn't matter because he was ass the rest. Hop off his dick

luka aint ever winning a ring

>>149455065
If 4chan asked you to come up with another /nba/ banner what would y'all pick for the image?

>>149456096

Luka and Zion are literally the same player but opposite

>>149456160
>I watched the finals unlike you and actually saw kyrie being fucking awful and bricking everything.
Now why don't you watch again and see who was defending him, and why defending him that way was directly responsible for the Celtics winning. You talk like a boxscorer watcher with zero understanding of the game.

>>149455254
>dozens of memorable clutch moments immortalized.
and everyone then conveniently forgets all his failures. he sucks. his laziness about conditioning is why he failed his team in game 7. a real baller would've kept himself in good enough shape to play game 7 of the finals at maximum effort. I'm honestly surprised indy fans aren't angrier at him.

>>149456209
You mean Luka and Harden

got drunk with my friends tonight. life might actually be worth living bros...

>>149456209
Luka is literally white harden, though at least Harden can say he took the greatest team of all time to 7 games

Inceltics just blew up their pathetic excuse of a team. Only had one pathetic excuse of an * because their father Jimmy Butler was hurt. Even their GM office knew how fraudulent that team was. Broke it up as soon as they failed to beat a healthy team. We don't talk about this enough. The usual suspects are silent. Where is Sadie or Inceltic to talk about this.

>>149456231
What if i have no friends? Should i kill myself then?

>>149456253
we're all gonna make it bro

>>149456234
Luka is more of a playoff riser, but Harden had a higher regular season peak

>>149456234
you mean chris paul

>>149456253
How do you not have friends? I'm socially awkward as hell but people still like me. There's this Puetro Rican girl who so obviously has a crush on me but I'm too autistic to capitalize on it.

>>149456218
The team is structured around Lukas ass defense and it didn't stop them getting to the finals. Kyrie was getting defended well but he also constantly was bricking shots that were wide open or he would've got if he wasn't a bitch shook by a leprechaun. 90% of him playing bad was his bricking not getting guarded by Jrue lol

>>149456234
Reminder Shai took the greatest team of all time to 6 games in his rookie season.

Also the Raptors * is an * because KD, Klay were hurt.

>>149456209
What does this even mean?

>>149456309
Because I work from home, and I've lost connections with my university friends. But then I've learned to be content with being alone :')

>>149455818
Porkanus only played in 2 games that entire playoff run. He earned that ring about as much as Xavier Tillman did.

>>149456359
Go to the local basketball court, or a gym.

>>149456361
They should've cryo him this year until the playoffs, and maybe they would make it to the ECF

>>149456392
Sure, will give it a try

>>149456359
all the university bros are probably in a similar position. you can try calling 2 or 3 of them out for a beer, it'll be a good time

>>149456499
Bit of a mild overpay but stars are getting $50M nowadays now that the TV deal is done, this puts him just above Mikal Bridges money and Bridges got his before the TV deal bump. I would've seen $22M per year but that's just penny pinching, the fans seem to love him

>>149456692
dont compare Mikal "5 FRP" Bridges to some roleplayer... Goatkal has more value than Luka

>>149456500
My worthless piece of shit Lakies because daddy Bron says so

>>149456578
Trading away Rudy at $45 million is about as likely as trading away Jamal Murray at $42. Nobody wants to acquire overpriced mediocrity even if they can afford to because of the cap space issue.

KD gonna injure himself bet

>>149457038
1 season playing with FVV as the teams point guard will have him asking for a trade

ace bailey agent

>>149457062
rockets fan here, we needed FVV to run out offense or else our guys had zero clue what to do

>>149454534
she has the replacement lined up which is probably why she dumped him. or will you be a cuck and wait at the end of the line?

2k comments with only 500 likes tells me what I needa know

>>149456996
Jokic is a good defender, the meme about him not being one is just babb spam. He plays both sides of the court, but he is critical to his team's performance so he makes sure to keep himself out of foul trouble and because of that he occasionally looks a little soft on d. If teams could bait him into fouling out they would do that every single game and Denver would go 0-82. He was 4th in the league in steals this season.

>>149457282
>Jokic is a good defender
bawb seriously????

The decline in alcoholic players correlates with the decline In soul in the league. We need niggas snorting lines and doing henny shots in the locker room again silver

dead sport if we’re being honest

>>149457316

lol

If you combined gobert and jokic into one player who does he turn into? Duncan?

>>149457345
J Will (Jaylin Williams) (the one on the bench) was visibly DISGUSTED taking a sip of one of those Ultras, advertisement stooges must be seething

>>149457506
Hakeem. Except hakeem is a top 15 player oat and this player would be undisputed top 1

why are people killing ace bailey like it's some crime that an 18 year old black kid doesn't want to live in fucking utah

>>149457506
He turns into the GOAT

>>149457622
That's the risk you take when you enter the draft

>>149457650
yeah
he entered the draft, did everything in his power to end up somewhere else, and still got drafted by utah
i think he's allowed to be a little bit miffed as long as he doesn't become a problem in the locker room or on the court

>>149457506
What does Gobert even do on defense?

>>149457506
That's just a worse jokic

>>149457100
And how many teams did you guys get frustrated by FVV chucking and inability to make layups? The guy is a ballhog and a bad playmaker

>>149457694
Gobert is leagues ahead of Jokic defensively

>>149457622
Hey let’s be nice to Utah. The women there are hot even though a lot of them are retarded Mormons

>>149457680
He's like Wemby where other teams want to avoid him if he's on the paint but unlike Wemby he doesn't have the wingspan nor extraterrestrial height to contest shots at the arc 1-on-1

>>149457670
Why is it so bad to live in utah? I looked it up recently, and utah, colorado and minnesota are some of the best overall states to live in in terms of healthcare, crime rates, lifestyles, etc.

/trvke/

>>149457772
Not a fair comparison really considering LeBum is a 6'8 athletic freak and steph is like 6'2 and memechucks which people can imagine themselves as more easily

>>149457757
Mormons are creepy and weird

>>149457709
Just cause Gobert jumps blacks balls (half the time goaltend) doesnt mean hes better on defense. Gobert is an idiot. Jokic regularly gets steals reading the offense and playing smarter.

>>149457803
I just looked up what it is. Apparently, it's another version of christianity? How many spinoffs do christians want to make?

>>149457757
Utah is a state that was founded by Mormons who were trying to establish their own society away from the federal government for religious reasons.

To this day the state is run by Mormons. Law enforcement, the legal system, and local commerce are unduly influenced by Mormons.

If you are not a Mormon, you are an outsider, and there may be consequences to that.

Also, Mormons, while usually very nice, are weird as fuck.

>>149457772
Not true. I always just wanted to be like Adam Silver and simply exploit all you niggas for profit as I turn this league into nothing more than a giant endorsement for selling shoes, clothes, fast food slop, and accessories.

>>149457849
Look up Kyle Filipowski. He plays for Utah. Apparently his girlfriend is a Mormon who started dating him when he was a teen and she an adult. And everyone there has turned a blind eye.

>>149457803
>mormons offend me because i'm a degenerate
all too common sentiment, what specifically bothers you about them? its is because they don't drink or don't smoke or is it some other lowlife habit of yours that they abstain from?

>>149457907
>its is because they don't drink
Yeah, a prohibition on caffeine is pretty fucking weird.
And shit like this >>149457906
is pretty creepy.

>>149457856
I see, no wonder utah gets memed so much

>>149457906
Yeah, i knew about the story during last year's draft. He even said it himself something like he was "preordered by his gf". I wanted to vomit reading that statement.

I think I miss Masai.

>>149457670
and he's not even outwardly mad or saying anything other than "I'm excited to play," it's just retarded sports media in need of a story
>>149457757
>healthcare, crime rates, lifestyles
us healthcare is provided by your employer and free for life for nba players after like 3 years, lifestyles is a bunch of shit like skiing a kid from chatanooga doesn't care about, and "crime rates" goes hand in hand with how many black people there are, and salt lake city is like 2% black. not the most appealing for an 18 year old from tennessee
it's at least half mormons who're devoutly religious and insular, they don't marry out, the weird backwater ones are polygamous, they all have to proselytize, they don't drink alcohol or coffee (they're all addicted to buying soda with coffee flavoring syrups in it), they're just their own strange thing

I hate this entire fucking shit sport, media and community, because it creates narratives within narratives and allows you to forget that people were saying shit like this in 2022, but people constantly push on with the narrative that "MEDIA STILL JUST GLAZES OLD STARS DOESNT PROMOTE DA YOUNG STARS ENOUGH" people just saying shit out of thin air when not a single "star" in the 2025 finals this year received anything close to this commentary: https://youtu.be/oKeyFuSQ_WM?t=27m43s
Haliburton might have been the most hyped new star ever with the constant clutch narratives and nobody even talks about the 6 point game.
SGA kept getting likened to Jordan "only one since jordan to have blah blah blah season".

This shit sport as an entertainment product, and its fans DSSERVE to die. You losers dont appreciate nothing.

>>149457935
>>149457931
Yea exactly. The girlfriend is hot but she’s batshit crazy. You can easily find women like her who aren’t Mormon and into teens if you want hot crazy women.

Masai could have had one last ride by picking Khaman. Khaman would have been the bearer of his african will. He would have been the Uub to Masai’s Buu. Instead, Masai’s torch carrier is some non african KING babb….. it’s over. the phone is in its cradle.

fact: every nba championship 2020 has been rigged. for what reason? I dont even know

>149457993 (bait)
Autistic Canadian incel rage will always be funny

>>149458073
To prevent the craptor dynasty from forming after 2019

>>149458073
I don’t think they’re rigged, but I haven’t given a shit about a championship since maybe 2022. Tired of this parity bullshit where a bunch of takers can get one ring when players like Barkley had to DIE for a single ring.

>>149458093
I like it. The man is honest. Unusual for a Chinaman.

>>149458106
And no I’m not saying Barkley got a ring, or sets we a ring. But at least it wasn’t a given. What’s next? Next year, Donovan Mitchell will have a ring? Or maybe Sengun? Hahaha what a garbage product.

>>149458084
what about it is bait or wrong?

>>149458106
they are definitely rigged. the lakers have been fucked by refs ever since winning the chip. denver has been fucked by refs ever since winning the chip. bucks been fucked by something. ive never seen such consistent flip flopping unbalanced reffing in 20 years of nba

>>149459411
Hes gonna gain his weight back when the season starts because he's gonna need more caloric intake. Some guys just have to eat a lot

You think if they didn't want teams to tank they would just fold the perenially bad teams. Eventually the dropping quality of the draft with kids less interested in sports will lead to this happening anyways.

In the case of the 'zards, everyone in DC is from out of town, so no matter who their home game is against they'll sell a lot of tickets to people who normally have no chance to see their home town play.

What the hell, it's true???

>Wendell Ladner, known for his hustle and physical play. One of the great "enforcers" of the ABA--protected Dan Issel in Kentucky and Julius Erving in New York.
>Immensely popular wherever he played, his good looks prompted the Kentucky front office to market a Ladner "beefcake" poster to the Colonels' female fans. Held the unofficial pro sports record for being traded the most times in mid-season.
>Semi-Pro, a basketball comedy set in the 1970s starring Will Ferrell, spoofs Ladner's Reynolds persona in its trailer
>Ladner regularly faced perhaps the fiercest player in the ABA, the Pittsburgh Condors' John Brisker, once entering the Condors' locker room and yelling, "Hey, John, you wanna fight right now or wait for the game?" (It was not unusual for Brisker and Ladner to beat each other bloody on the court, only to hang out together at a local bar afterwards.)
>Teammates reported that Brisker carried a pistol and would sometimes take it out and wave it around during practice, especially when he was upset.
>“Being a fighter is part of my game,” Brisker says, sipping coffee as the ambulance roars away to deliver someone’s misery. “But it ruins any evaluation of me as a player. I come on the floor; everyone expects a fight. That’s not right. I just protect what I am. I don’t back off.”
>In four years, he had wounded approximately a dozen players—including an ex-teammate who later threatened to retaliate with a gun—and had been dubbed “the ABA heavyweight champion.”
>Their 1970-71 media guide featured Brisker in a Mexican sombrero with a pair of six-shooters holstered to his hips. The Condors’ PR man, Fred Cranwell, got the idea based on Brisker’s routine of bringing a loaded gun with him to practice and games.

>Bob Netolicky was a fan favorite during his playing days, well known for his advocacy of mod lifestyle and his exotic pets (including a lion and an ocelot). One sportswriter called him the "Broadway Joe Namath of the ABA", since he had become a veritable sex symbol to many of Indiana's female fans.
>the San Antonio Spurs played the Indiana Pacers in a November match up. The Spurs lost the game 84–83
>the Spurs protested the loss, something to do with a malfunction in the clock or an official missing a violation committed by the Pacers.
>The game’s result was protested and the Pacers’ last-second basket to win the game was removed, and the game was scheduled to continue before December 2, 1973
>Spurs player Netolicky was bought (not traded, “bought”) by the Pacers for cash considerations & a draft pick. Then Pacers coach Bob Leonard was allowed to use Netolicky in the replay of the game. Netolicky did in fact, suit up for the Pacers, and played the final 30 seconds of regulation against his former team in the exact same game. He made a vital intercept at the last minute, stopping San Antonio’s chances of winning the game
>Netolicky was the starting center in the first game of the Pacers in franchise history (1967) and the first starting center in the first game of the San Antonio Spurs (1973).

>>149459721
it's actually nyc and philly (maybe less so now that they suck shit) residents buying a train ride and a ticket because it's cheaper than paying exorbitant local prices. a lot of season ticket holders resell those specific tickets to subsidize the other games
you'd always make more money if you were actually good and getting consistent local fans though. now that we got a decent qb or whatever, people care a bit more about football. when the caps were good, there was a huge parade and local attention

they don't have any such prohibition, however caffeine is stronger drug that you're probably aware. have you ever tried staying off it for two months and then having a cup of coffee? if you could manage to do that you'd find out how strong it is. the conventional idea in western culture that you're supposed to wake and start drinking meth lite all day and then in the even start drinking downers in the form of beer to put you to be is a fairly weird idea and probably wouldn't be all that popular if there weren't massive incessant advertising campaigns brainwashing people into thinking its a normal and sane way of life. I have a cup of tea or coffee make once a week and find it extremely strong every time.

Which star has to save their reputation the most next season? Which star do you think is likeliest to improve their reputation next season? Which is the likeliest to worsen their reputation?
>Ja Morant
>Zion
>Luka
>Embiid
>Trae
>Sabonis

I’m thinking Zion for the first question. He’s deadly close to being completely forgotten (unless the pelicans trade him).
Likeliest to improve I have Trae; considering he has an improved team.
Last question is Sabonis. The kings roster will be even worse in a tougher conference.

>>149460928
I somehow have a better looking physique than an NBA star. But not a millionaire top 1% in my industry so fuck.

>>149460943
Luka by beating the fat allegations

>>149460943
there's strong smoke about Zion getting traded but Trae is in the best position to succeed

>>149460953
True. But everyone seems to think he’s an injury bugger defined by playoff failures.
In fact I’ve seen some pundits say they think he’s gonna be a shell of himself even if he comes back healthy. (As in, all star level but not MVP level)

>>149460846

>CP3 coming out and saying he wants to be closer to LA

he's finally gonna be a laker 14 years later

>>149461077
He’s unnecessary when the Lakers already rely on a geriatric and a secondary backhander in Reaves. The Lakers need a center and any good player with size.

>>149461077
They should sign him and dwight top

>Imagine turning down a 4 year 50 million dollar rookie contract because you don't like the team
It would be hilarious if there's a holdout and he demands a trade, but instead, the league just says whatever goodbye - to send a message to these kids: be humble and feel blessed you even made it to the league kid.

>>149461028
your coworkers sound like retards

are you retarded

I want to suck big Serb cock

Jamal murray...

I just took a really nice Kyle Lowry.

How yall gonna hate now?

my goat not holding up

>>149461341
its adorable how corny this dude is

If you're the Denver Nuggets how are you not aggressively working for a Beal trade to unload Jamal. Suns are obviously trying to do something and go for a run getting all these picks through trades. Suns desperately need a point guard cause booker is way better as the SG. Nuggets don't need a point guard cause Jokic is a way better PG than Jamal 'undersized iso' Murray. Holy fuck get it done already.

>>149461007
I mean... it's his home town. He goes outside when he's there. He's not like American celebs that just hide away in their Diddy dungeons.

>>149461387
Kek, does this nigga ever not sound like he's reading a script?

>>149461438
How tall are the niggas there anyway? Obviously he's massive but are there still tons of huge dudes like in serbia croatia etc?

>>149453982

yawn

>>149461385
Jokic can't even bring the ball up the floor

>>149461370
Why are people attacking Ace Bailey so much? He avoided the 76er's and Hornets which would have been terrible for his career. If the Jazz trade Collins then he's free to develop and get major playing time.

>>149461571
You must mean Jamal cause whenever snyone full court presses him he physically cannot bring the ball up without losing it. Any other guy could dribble the ball to the front court to hand it off to jokic the point guard.

>>149461680
No, I mean Jokic. Jokic can't do it when defenses are targeting Jamal, because he has zero handle, gets stripped, and then stands on the floor shrugging his arms or yelling at ref instead of getting back in transition. AG is the one that has to do it when Jamal can't.
>Any other guy could dribble the ball to the front court to hand it off to jokic the point guard.
So why don't they get Braun to do it then? He's two inches taller and far more athletic, if any other guy can do it like you're saying.

>>149461695
Because theyre paying Jamal 50 million dollars so they have to have him do stuff in the game

>>149461613
Nigga, he apparently wants to go to the Wizards.

>>149461695
Jokic could physically start masturbating every possession and still be far more valuable than jamal 99% of the time

>>149461714
Suns pay Bradley Beal 50 million dollars to do less

>>149461751
DC got hot girls

>>149461760
Which is why Denver should trade for Beal cause his value is low while Jamal's trade value hasn't hit rock bottom yet. Bradley Beal would be insane with Jokic.

>>149461797
>Bradley Beal would be insane with Jokic.
lol

#uever wake up in the middle of the night and think, damn I was such a fucking retard for putting up with this stupid bitches shit why did i ignore all the red flags

Kek

>>149461854
What's so funny. Beal is better than Jamal in every way. Beal would be the Kobe sidekick to Shaq. And he hasn't fallen off at all, he just gets way less touches in phoenix while at the same time they force him into being a spot up shooter.

There. I just saved the Brooklyn Nets draft. Who the fuck are the scouts of that organization?

So Cooper Flag is just a white Jokic?

>>149461322
Time for another random drug test

>>149462206
A 2 time mvp that will average a triple double? Not a chance. He's more like a white Tayshaun Prince

>>149460948
You're probably just leaner. If Lamelo ate better he'd have visible abs. His diet must be terrible.

Embiid lookin lean

for a 7' tall basketball savant KD gives off insecure incel vibes so hard it's crazy what went wrong in this niggas life

>>149461385
You really only do this to get a max cap spot sooner to chase a FA in two years: Murray has ~5 years and Beal only has two years left (he's sure to opt-in for the 26-27 number). Beal however has had his own share of injury's the last few years and is 4 years older. I also think Murray gets too much hate: he's still a very good player and is basically a SG himself and is the same size as Beal. Statistically speaking they shoot about the same. Murray has proven he can win with Jokic and Jokic loves him. Looking to move MPJ and picks for Beal makes more sense imo. PHX could also use a PF and stretch big.

>Pratt wrote a letter to his son on Father’s Day.

>Kevin,

>I write this letter to you with the biggest smile on my face. I am so proud to call you my son! I see your success, and I see how God’s light and love has helped you overcome so many life challenges that are directly tied to me. I remember the first time I laid my eyes on you at birth and how you would only fall asleep when I was around, and how that scenario played out time and time again. I thank God for your mother who was there when I was not. My not knowing how to be a father and not having a father to show me how to be a father caused me to neglect my responsibilities to you and your brother.

> I regret missing out on your first day of school, your first haircut, holidays and the first day you picked up a basketball. But I thank God daily for creating the opportunity for us to reconnect. I’m so thankful for you opening your heart at such a tender time. Every parent-child relationship has its ups and downs and we are no exception. I feel fortunate that we have learned how to successfully navigate life’s mistakes. Thank you for forgiving me and allowing us to have the great relationship we have today.

KD really is a beta to accept this dude back into his life lol

nah this some snake shit.

>>149462537
never knew the back of a 100$ bill look liked that. thanks kevin durant

I don't know if it's commendable how KD doesn't even care about how much he is hated you might be an even bigger sperg than Kobe

>>149463264
*Dude might be an even bigger sperg than Kobe

Also worth mentioning Kobe can get away with being sperg since he has aura and is more handsome

Is clear that neither of them really have an ounce of sympathy for others

>>149463284
Kobe had revitiligo and was spiritually european from living in europe so long that's why he was so tight with pau. shame he couldn't control his raping tendencies

shut your bitch ass up ireland not listening to a pedophile

the same people giving the utah jazz an A+ grade for drafting Bailey would be giving the sixers an F- if he went there at #3
