that era of the nba is over. You'll do as you're told. Kyrie and Simmons ruined that so owners wont play into that anymore.

>>149464760 (OP)>For his part, Omar Cooper, Bailey's agent, pushed back on the notion that anything they did during the process was outside of the normal course of business.>"Every NBA team watched him work out in Chicago," Cooper previously told ESPN. "He did 18 interviews. Everyone got his medical. They watched him run and jump. They got his measurements. They watched him shoot in drills.So someones lying.
>>149464819this is Omar Cooper btw.
>>149464819Danny Ainge has people within the media to spread rumors about Ace to drop his draft stock to he'd fall to the Jazz. Ainge is a vile, evil and cruel man.
>>149464790the only people who said that were baiting. its clear that you have to play where you are drafted. you literally have no choice. did they really think ainge would cave in?

6 championships over Kobrick's 5?
Why they aint putting this "winner" over Kobrick?
Because rings dont matter as much its individual performance that decides who the TRUE GOAT is.
50k++++ points
22+ years in the NBA
#2 all time in Assists
#1 All time in FG made
Averaging 28 8 8 at the age of 42 while having your son as your point guard
All individual acolades the TRUE GOAT and you know who that is....
>>149464784they made this same assumption when Dwyane "i turned my son into a daughter" Wade won a ring in '06 and now at '25 look who has a fuckton more rings and still playing at high level averaging 28 8 9 at the age of 42?
The KING himself
>>149465945KD really was a victim of LeGOAT's dominance. Jumping from OKC to Warriors cause he cant win a ring against Lebron then jumping to Nets because he got overshadowed by LeGOATS 37 12 10 average against him on the finals. Then to Phoenix and finally to Houston where he will retire with 0 rings.

My nigga lonzo didnt achieve shit with chicago but he was the glue piece to the best team in the east at some point and hell always be my guy
>>149467120Giddey is going to have an MVP season with a proper team around him
>>149467186dumbass
While Wade is turning his son into a daughter LeGOAT is coming back from 3-1 leads and giving washed stars their first taste of winning in the likes of Rondo, Dwight and JR smith
>>149467336Lonzo a bum ass theres a reason we shipped him to a poverty chise like the pels. A total bust imo.
Bronny should impregnate his gf now. Lebron might still be playing by the time that baby turns 18. Legoat can still average 15 5 5 at the age of 55
The entire draft class got 0 aura.
>>149467404Cool meme. LeBron cost Wade a finals MVP and a ring.
>>149467503you just know hes going to unretire
>>149467120How can Lonzo be traded? He's always injured. He shouldn't even be in the NBA

>>149467844>>149467655also putting into perspective even other top SF in that era can't defeat that Mavs team that decimated Prime Kobricks 2010 Lakers in 4.
even if you replace LeGOAT with Carmelo or KD they still aint winning against the Mavs.
Folks don't know that the 2011 Mavs swept Kobricks 2010 Lakers who just got a chip months before while LeGOAT got 2 wins against them

New changes for the NBA that should be implemented
1. 10 min per quarter total 40 min per game
2. 70 game season
3. remove minimum games to win individual awards

5. Increase salary of all players

>>149468789>like that kid in middle school who said his gf went to another school So I โfoundโ this art school that seemingly no one knew about in my school. It was like 80 percent female and all the guys were gay or too wimpy to pull the girls. Was like shooting fish in a barrel, Iโve never done that well with chicks since, not even close. No competition. So I was the guy who had a gf at a different school but it was actually true, and I wasnโt about to prove it by introducing the guys of my school to that huge network of lonely girls. Man life was crazy before social media, you could just randomly find attractive women who barely knew any guys. By the time I was an adult that shit was over.
>>149469791mostly just bad luck or self inflicted incompetence in the. You can't really account for guys like Middleton falling apart, your players catching aids and being coached by a moron, somebody thinking Jalen Pickett should play playoff minutes, etc. It's why you should be high on the thunder unless they get super bad injury luck

[Intro]
His name is Lebron James and he plays for LA
It would feel so good and make a big difference
If I could see him play
As I go to my living room, dunno what I'mma do
If I hear he ain't gon play
'Cause I made a bet or two that he's gonna shoot
Ten threes, get ten re's, and then the Lakers ain't gon lose
[Bridge]
And they got Luka Don, A. Reaves and then Lebron
The real Big 3
They gave up AD because they needed change
And you gots to say his name
His name is Lebron James
[Chorus]
I'm talking bout the man on the Lakers (Lebron)
I'm asking you to say his name (Lebron James)
And no message could have been any clearer
If you want to make the world a better place
Take a look at the sky and say his name
[Outro]
Le-Beron, Le-Beron
Lebron, Lebron
Le-Beron, Le-Beron
Lebron, Lebron

Top 4 at year 23 at 42 years old is craazy

Tatum isn't respected and neither is his plumber franchise.
This nigga said banners don't matter it's about my headcanon respect for the teams.
>>149470605I'd give them respect coz they got my boy Anfernee
Blazers dumb fucks for trading him. Scoot is a bust for sho
>>149470632Weapschizo is pathetic
>>149470632>>149470573is true you faggots, instantly no one gives a fuck about tatum anymore and people don't even instantly put shai as the number one player going into next season since he lost the story of the series
>>149470632Banners matter. The 2024 Inceltics dont have a real banner though. In that sense, it goes like this.
Championships > deep respected runs > *s
>>14946481976er's have Paul George and the Hornets have Brandon Miller. Ace Bailey will get the most minutes and potential to be a franchise player on teams like the Wizards or Nets. The fact that people don't understand this is sad. He would also make more on endorsement deals playing in a Washington or Brooklyn than in fucking Utah. He only fell 2 spots in the fucking draft and people are acting like he played himself when the real story is that a team can hire a young player despite that player doing everything they can to make it known that they are not interested

>>149470599SGA is just Trae Young with an even more broken whistle
Thoughts on the Greek Freak coming out as a liberal this week
>>149470767Yup. Nobody is saying that the 2014 Spurs are less respected than say the Pacers, but the 2024 Inceltics are the least respected *s of all time.
>>149470810based.
Trump is a fag
>>149470710>>149470767Jokic won their championship by beating the injured Timberwolves (8th seed), Suns (4th seed), Lakers (7th seed) and the injured Heat in the finals (8th seed). Is that not a mickey Mouse ring too then? So why is Jokic still given respect but Tatum isn't?
>>149470878Because at least Jimmy played, and Jokic faced first options. Gaytum didn't face a single healthy first option for more than two games.
He tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end, he made 2 hundred million dollars
>>149470878Who the fuck did the celtics play? Luka Doncic and Kyrie? They played nobody cause everyone was injured. Jokic beat and raped: KD and Booker; LeBron and AD; Jimmy and Bam; and since faggots gas them up Ant and Gobert.

>>149470599#1, #3, #4, #5 should make a team

>>149471318SAS is an unironic racist and him putting jokic 1 is only a thing because you literally cannot argue otherwise
>>149471325Can you name five harder finals levels of competition than Ant and Kat; KD and Booker; LeBron and AD; Jimmy and Bam?
>>149471293west clearly sold him on the lakers being contenders, also the cavs were equally incompetent as management
>>149471297lakers were coming off a 53 win season and were the 4th seed in 96

lakers weren't frontrunners but they were far from bad
>>149471506KAT was injured in the Timberwolves series, a team with KD and Booker surrounded by scrubs wasn't a hard team to beat and the 7th seed Lakers were trash through and through that somehow made the WCF.

>>149472981>Following a J.J. Barea made layup, the Heat set up their offense. Mario Chalmers passes to LeBron at the top of the key after James curled off of a Udonis Haslem screen. Since Dallas is playing zone, Barea is the only defender in the area, and he picks up James. Upon receiving the pass, however, James immediately swings the ball to Dwyane Wade on the left wing. Wade misses a three-point shot.Game 6 BTW.
Nigga was too shook to try to score on 5'10" JJ Barea. In an elimination game in the Finals.
Ain't no GOAT too shook to try to score on JJ Barea.
What a fucking bum.
A healthy lonzo will be a big difference maker for the cavs. They were hurting for true passers when garland got hurt so having lonzo around to ping hockey passes will keep the lesser role players involved in the offense.
>>149472957he's trying to make hundreds of dollars in a billion dollar environment where even the publicity is worth millions. He's a fucking retard

>>149467523i don't know who these people are
Imagine Michael Jordan, only he's 6'9" and on steroids now.
It's the NBA Finals. It's an elimination game.
He has 5'10" JJ Barea guarding him.
And he's too much of a bitch to try to score on him.
Can't imagine it, right? It's too absurd. It would never happen. Jordan would want to embarrass Barea so bad that Barea killed himself in front of his own children after the game.
>Fischer] The Boston Celtics have insisted on a package comparable to what the Brooklyn Nets received for Mikal Bridges in any hypothetical Derrick White trade. There have been no serious discussions about trading either of Jaylen Brown or Derrick White.
Maybe if white was a Villanova guy it would be feasible for such an asking price.

Ty Jerome gone now. A decent bench guard but that's it. A shoot first guard who isn't a great defender.
>>149473225>the only defender anywhere near James is Barea>he's like 10 fucking feet from James>James passes the ball anywaysWhere's the lie?
>>149473285>Barea is the only defender in the areaThat's the lie. There's literally 5 people in front of him and
Wade was wide open so LeBron swung the ball. There was 20 seconds left it's not like he fucking had to score and swung it out cause he had no time you disengenous fag

>Poole] Gary Payton II's chances of returning to the Golden State Warriors next season are dim, per two NBA sources. A fixture in the rotation when healthy, Payton, 32, becomes a UFA on Monday. If he's not re-signed, the Warriors are expected to pursue a strong point-of-attack defender.
I'm guessing they really want to get a good bench scorer and hope for a kuminga sign and trade. Then gp2 only comes back if it's on a vet min. Maybe a laker?

>>149473565I'm saying if you're down 12 points in an elimination game, you're 6'9" and on steroids, and a 5'10" motherfucker is the only person within 10 feet of you, you're a BITCH if you don't try to score.
This is not debatable.

>>149482186suck a egg your leaf
anyone that thinks jk is worth his weight in anything but shit is a fucking mouth breathing retard but he would do good on a team like yours a bunch of shitty losers he'd do well there
$30 million per season is basic starter money.
new cba and yet you think any team wants to drop 30mil on that shitter
>>149481826Donkey has a girl crush on Lebron you can't trust a thing he says
>>149482269nah his cum shoots out like a rocket
how do i get an nba player to rape me
>>149482333>retarded ramblings and seethingfuck off Euro-trash. Bandwagon Warriors fans are the worst. Roleplayers aren't going to take pay cuts to make sure that your favorite meme chuckers team can stay relevant. Kuminga should take the highest amount offered and get off the Warriors team that just want to keep him as a bench roleplayer.
>>149481951those jazz teams swept prime shaq back to back
meanwhile the invincible kd warriors needed to intentionally injure kawhi and cp3 to even make the finals, where they got a free finals win against lebum because he's trash
>>149481826yes, jordan had no competition. he was pretty much the guy on the warriors. i'd like to see how jordan would fare on the Vancouver Grizzlies. wait hed rather 'retire' than not play on the warriors bulls.
>>149482498where do I say I want a paycut you fucking idiot I want him sent to a shit team like yours
What's your guys favorite Most Valuable Polish? Can't decide between Rookie Red and Point Guard Pink.

>>149465945>Best player is still Shooker>Luka and Jokic still existyeah I wouldn't plan the parade just yet
>>149483392you know theyre getting all these young players and picks to trade for jokic in a massive package deal right?
>That view to like ratio
The absolute fucking state of the NBA
Unironically what the hell were they thinking?
>>149481826Uh, how were they the greatest team ever assembled if they lost? Last I checked 2nd place doesn't outrank 1st
>>149483392why's jokic on here?
>>149483474>Last I checked 2nd place doesn't outrank 1stthey do if you're a L3-6ron fan
>>149483392>Luka and Jokic still existAnd? Neither of these two are winning in the next 5 years, if ever.
>>149483476>he doesn't know
>>149483506>if everAlready repressed the memory, huh?
>>149483473everyone hates the thunder aside from indians and people who live in okc. the signs were there the entire way. every series the thunder were in saw record low ratings throughout the entire playoffs, finals included. meanwhile the pacers knicks series did some of the highest numbers. you go on X and everyone is talking shit about the thunder and the refs every game. adam silver is desperate for his next lebron and hes going to stubbornly push a new guy every year until one sticks.
>>149483654That's why I'm just baffled why they would get the refs to suck off OKC so much. Makes zero sense.
>>149483570>>149483525damn already forgot about this r*ng
>>149483696to shill expansion teams to potential buyers
>>149483654People just don't fucking like free throw merchants or teams that seem to get a double standard with officiating. You'd think the league would realize this but they can't get past the time they did it for Jordan and manufactured a brand so they keep trying to do it again and again not realizing that was a unique situation.
>Lakers targeting Capela and CP3 as their big moves this offseason
BRAVO ROB PELINKA! Luka is a shit eating retard for wanting to sign away his prime to these clowns
>>149483729That's what happens when you're negligent with your ritalin dose
>>149483696because silver is a retarded copycat
he saw how stern refballed the lakers into a three peat dynasty and thinks
>well all I need to do is refball some schmuck to a ring and mvp then everyone will like himnot realizing despite all the extra help they had the shaq and kobe lakers were formidable on their own
not only that, they had perfect chemistry and plenty of moments too
>>149483848capela makes sense though, claxton and kessler can only be traded and teams are looking to gorge the lakers for everything
>>149483570>>149483640if ever again, retards. I'm talking about the future.
>>149483654Learn what market sizes are.
>>149483848LeBron is based for getting fucking paid in the biggest market team in the league. Luka can go sign a vet min in Denver while LeBron makes the big bucks living in LA
>>149483696They didn't. Crying about has always, and will always, be cope from losers.
how can the wolves get over the wcf hump
Friendship ended with Luka, now Cooper Flagg is my best friend.
>>149484107Really hoping kyries performance doesn't go off a cliff post injury but it's probably over
>>149483939>t. blind retard
>>149484107kyrie is a washed retard lol
>>149483848The only concern is what happens when you have lineups where Capela and CP3 are on the court at the same time. Both players would be fine at the price points they would get if they end up on the Lakers (Taxpayer MLE for Capela, minimum for CP3), but they play so slowly and Capela has such slow hands that it can drastically change the style of play between the starters and the bench.
Usually you want the bench to come in and play a faster style of basketball in terms of pace, but that won't be the case with those 2
>>149483848I honestly don't understand how people can STILL be discussing Chris Paul like he's some sort of valuable commodity when he hasn't been an actual impact player for years. Like, I've seen multiple people unironically rave about his performance with the Spurs last year, where he averaged a triple single and sat out 20 minutes per game on average for a bad team. As if there aren't 20 point guards in the league right now who could put up 9 and 7 while playing essentially an entire season of garbage time
Why can't basketball fans realize that in a league where the average game produces 100+ points on either side there's just a default amount of stat accrual? Somebody has to score, rebound and assist, even on bottom feeder teams. It's just empty calories
