Which NBA player would drive this?

Dinner.

>>149531775
Luke Kennard....

>>149531775
braun

>>149531775
jonathan isaac

>>149531777
Finally something that actually looks like something a responsible adult would eat

What do I need to do to gain your respect, /nba/?

Why did they body shame Luka only for his starting center to be Montrezl?

>>149531775
kyrie the most loyal groyper follower

>>149531777
Prison food looks good today my man good for you

>>149531775
Kyrie...

>>149531828
win a ring but it also has to be your first finals

Does weapschizo I still think that shams is the reason why Jimmy requested out and that the weap would won if it didn’t happen?

>Free agent forward Trendon Watford has agreed to a two-year, $5.3 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell ESPN. Watford is set to play a potential key role in the 76ers rotation.
nice pick up

>>149531854
>would won
Inceltic you should just take the year off

>>149531775
In high school one of the austitic dudes hade a meltdown and started calling people chuds.

>>149531854
Thoughts on your poverty franchise blowing xirselves up?

>>149531854
why are you reposting irediddy children?

>>149531854
'fraid so

>>149531877
That’s not a child, that’s a grown woman.

>>149531777
The bread is just unnecessary

>>149531854
‘cord hated this one

lakers will sign Reggie Jackson at this rate

>>149531854
his melty when the news broke will forever be legendary. nigga really started posting gore and spammed the n word.

>>149531890
again, why are you posting irediddy grown women that look like children?

>>149531917
>grown women that look like children?
Can tell you're a faggot, doesn't even slightly look like a child

>>149531914
I didnt even bother reporting it like I usually would. I was like hold on lemme see this.

>>149531890
She's a coalburner. Literally worse than trash. The shit under my boot is worth more than her and the tranny posting it.

>>149531914
>posting gore
Isn't that your discord falseflag? Never once posted gore.

>>149531950
You are a pedophile just like Irediddler the chomo

how fucking bad do you need to be as a basketball player that your team will PAY you to play AGAINST them

>>149531917
That’s clearly a grown woman dumbass. How does that look like a child?

>>149531960
>She's a coalburner.
Fact check: TRUE

>>149531775
the guy the lakers just signed

>it’s a weapschizo episode
Goodnight y’all

>>149531854
This one got the 'cord' s panties in a bunch.

league's in trouble if Nuggets get Yabusele

how do the lakers not have any money? They only have 3 dudes on the roster and 1 is on a bargain

>>149531775
Durant

>>149531981
if you told me she was 12 i wouldnt blink. zero chance i bring a piece of jailbait like that home, let alone post her on a website being heavily monitored by the gov

Realistically, Ayton has a better time playing with the Warriors because they don't really need him to do the things he's bad at. With the Lakers, he would need to do all the things he can't or won't do

>>149531982
Don't you spam Sadie because you envision yourself as a woman who fucks blacks? You'll never be that. You're just a faggot abomination.

>>149531994
one is on a 30% max the other 35%

>>149531975
He's not bad bad just not worth a max. Could be a decent backup option.

the denver nuggets title odds jumped from 1700 to 800 tonight they are now tied with houston for 2nd place lol

>>149531960
weapschizo, please keep your obsession with inter racial couples to yourself. this aint sharty.

>cuck fantasies out of no where

Skitz...

Who tf stopping this team?
>health
Not an argument

>>149532011
I think you're replying to the wrong guy. Inceltic definitely does this, they're all in a tranny grooming cord. Irediddy also notoriously thirsts over "Riley Curry"

Whos picking up this demon

>L.A. exercised discipline in their negotiations to preserve cap space for 2027, when they expect to have space to sign a max-salary free agent.
https://x.com/pickuphoop/status/1939853656184299914

Thank god. New ownership is GOATED, forcing Klutch out of the fucking building. Good riddance LeBron. You never held a flame to Shaq, or Kobe in their primes. You play like an entitled bitch and the front office treats you like the entitled bitch that you are. I hope you retire a sad man. A man who internally acknowledges their massive shortcomings, but doesn’t have the balls to say so…rather invest in a whole media campaign to diminish others legacies. LeBron, you are pathetic. God Bless Mark Walters

>>149532044
kyrie is dead

Is Jaren Jackson Jr really worth a max

>>149532033
You going to debunk that post? All you're doing is just posting more truth and expecting me to be upset?

>>149532047
>Emastur Bates

>>149532052
He'll be back, yakub wills it

>>149531994
They do have money but not the kind you can just offer to people in free agency. They have about 30M below the second apron and can't go above it, but they can't offer that much to players off rip in free agency due to not having cap space (like every other team).

They can use that 30M to extend their own free agents or extend players on expiring contracts

Yabusele is gone with this literal who signing

>>149532049
Yeah I felt kinda bad for Luka bad this exactly what LeFag deserves, especially after not taking a paycut

skitz be like "im perfectly normal and not obsessed with inter racial couples" the posts shit like this.

>>149532047
Type of nigga in the blunt circle to joke about fucking ya girl

>>149532121
He has bangers while you have nonces thirsting over children and tranny avatar posters spamming...

>>149532033
thank god 4chan came back. could you imagine posts like these everyday?

Denver is one move away from winning the offseason. These dudes pulled a miracle getting out of MPJs contract by only giving up a *checks notes* 2032 draft pick

Guys Inceltic is posting screencaps again....

>>149532147
Watch niggas complain in 2032 about trading that pick

>>149531854
>this post got the weapcord upset and drove them out of hiding
kek

TAKE ZEKE NNAJI ALREADY HOLY SHIT

>>149532044
AD & Klay going to be traded for Jaylen Brown

>>149532147
Yabusele, 2 years $12M gonna hit like crack

>>149532083
You think staring at inter racial couples until they look back at you is a good thing? Jesus Christ seek help.

>>149532202
Hispanic isn't a race, jeet.

>>149532209
People should be shamed yes.

you'd know all about hispanics, Pablo.

>>149532121
>>149532155
both you faggots should be banned from nba threads
we will not suffer your faggot bullshit another season
fuck off

No way Luka is signing that extension if they telling him wait until 2027 for something to happen lmao.

>>149532147
I'd say they need 2 more pieces. From a bball standpoint MPJ is better than Cam w/o factoring money. BB vs Westbrook is mostly a wash but BB doesn't make as many mistakes. They still need a another big and preferably a versatile wing though contract year Watson might do something

#Throwbacc

>>149532258
this nigga right here is a pro dick rider. like Jaylin Williams. always riding skitz just like bulgaria used to do.

>>149532267
I know enough to know they aren't a race. They're mutts. Hispanics, from Spain, are European.

>>149532304

Don’t you were. We gon git season has just begun

>>149532329
>They're mutts
why are you insulting yourself? you parents arrived here via boat from Cuba. your last name is Cabrera yet you simp for white people on 4chan?

>>149532329
You are literally Indian

>>149532394
>Inceltics make up entire backstories for his boogeymen

>>149532304
remember when skitz called bulgaria his "lord" and wished him good night? something in the water down in Florida.

Im lebron im forcing my way into denver and im taking my won with me. Jamal murray goodbye

Entire discord samefagging. Inceltic still hasn't talked about his poverty franchise blowing up.

What are y'all niggas going to do when BronBron goes back to Cleveland on the 10th anniversary of their last chip and wins another one? What then faggot?

>>149532505
wannabe philly phanatic ass

>>149532466
he coulda opted out and done just that and i'd have not given half a fuck

entitled bitchmade faggot now gonna try and get himself traded by his klutchgoons, glhf

>>149532538
Why would he opt out? What team has cap space to afford him? Getting traded is way easier

I got TOPPED by my boyfriend last night. I might not see him after the trade...

>"uh, d-defense wins championships"
>*signs D-Lo*
what did nico mean by this? MAGA levels of retardation going on in dallas.

if i were Luka i'd demand to be traded and if they don't, i pull a Kawai "my shin hurts" till next year
FUCK PELINKA
FUCK LeGM
THEY COST LUKA $110 million supermax

>>149532564
>Getting traded is way easier

if i'm his GM i put his fat roided ass on the bench and tell him to suck a fat one for the entire year

i'm not taking another team's bad money (and taking myself out of FA next year) to satisy that douchebag's greed

>>149532593
Murray for Luka?

>>149532585
Is he paying dlo 50 million dollars?

>>149532580
your buttholes wide open next season, gooo heeaaaat!!

>>149532564
he obviously has to take less if he opts out. Getting traded is harder because you have to match contracts and no legit team is going to do that for a 40 year old Bron and that's before you even get to the no trade clause part

>>149532602
Ok go ahead and do that. No one will ever want to sign with you. Or you get fired.

>>149532286
Holmes is coming back so that's a thing

>>149532629
>No one will ever want to sign with you

it's the LAKERS

>Or you get fired.

oh no, now i have millions of dollars and no job, guess i'll just retire and live off the interest

>>149532585
Teams will get destroyed by the Mavs interior defence if they so much as dare get into the paint.

>>149532608
Kek

>>149532602
what FA? Like this shitty ass team is getting Joker or Shai, rofl.

>>149532604
the league would not allow that and you know that
Luka + Jokic would 4 - peat easy

>>149532608
>wide open
Actually they'll be giving it a supermax 8 year $240 million extension, sources are telling me

>>149532690
why, pray tell, do you think the nuggs are going so HAM this offseason? you think there might be some stakes?

He not wrong tho

>Lebron taking $50 million next year
Wants to get one last ring but not conceding a single dollar, when he's already a billionaire, to help the Lakers sign someone like Ayton. Fuck off you bum

>>149532705
>Luka + Jokic
kek no, ant would turn them into bawb stew

>>149532784
Ant who got crushed by OKC?

>>149532741
i just want cum on her forehead

>>149532763
110% pelinka's fault, that extension was ridiculous even last year when they did it

like who tf were they even bidding against??? why the second year? dude was 39

>>149532721
denver got to the second round sweetie, LA is a downgrade.

>>149532763
Wait until you remember that he also has his bum ass son on the team too

>>149532802
yes the Ant that went through Luka and Jokic last season

>>149532784
ant got his bag he dgaf about winning you'll see

grim

>>149532827
Lakers had no center and made gobert look like an offensive force lmao

>>149532832
It was grim in the 24-25 season too. This team lost to the Knicks kek

my man Beasley going from the biggest contract of his career to prison. Niggas be stupid

>>149532658
Let’s take a look at the lakers rosters after 2010. Oh. Reddit spacing retard

>>149532832
jaylen getting shipped out next
gotta find a gm dumb enough to take this scrub

>>149532847
nobody cares ant aborted pooka

>>149532832
They're tanking for Dybantsa

surprised 23 nuggets didnt make this list

Lebron should have went to the clippers.

>>149532784
Finals appearances:
Luka -1
Jokic -1
Edwards - 0

>>149532901
Why do white players make you so angry?

>>149532832
They're tanking this year, no way Brown and White will play

Adam Silver will gift them a top 5 pick, it's up to them whether they blow it by drafting a bust or they get gifted an All-star

So where is the big trade shams promised. Fucking scamming jeet

Lonzo, LaVine, Javonte, DeMar, Vuc.
White, Dosunmo, Caruso off the bench.
Now that was a fucking team.

>>149533162
in 5 namekian minutes

>>149533162
BREAKING: The Denver Nuggets are trading Nikola Jokic, Aaron Gordon and Christian Braun to the Indiana Pacers for Myles Turner, Bennedict Mathurin, Obi Toppin and 3 future 1st round picks, sources tell ESPN.


WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Nothing harder than being a Luka fan

shams is reporting that you are a faggot
wtf his first ever breaking news story that was true

Jokic was a 7ft ivan drago supersoldier and now hes just a random fat guy. Stop blaming MPJ for their recent failures.

>>149533095
Indians are jealous of white people but it's obvious that whites are superior to Indians in every way. Therefore, Indians attempt to use black people as a proxy (since both have dark skin). They watch BLACKED pornography for the same reason.

>>149533464
For all the faults blacks have, they're athletic and drive culture forward. Indians don't even have that while being ugly and smelly.

>>149532896
raps paid 18m a year for this guy not long ago
bro should've stayed

don't care, im going to miss curious mike. still a good trade though

starting to think the knicks are retarded
they still have no coach and clarkson is washed

I am going to fucking kill myself

Nobody wanna play with bronbron :((

>>149533655
>Choosing Bagley over Luka
>the Fox trade
>2002 WCSF
but this is the last straw?

>>149533720
I dont care about the fox trade. Fox deserved to leave whenever he wanted for how long he stuck with us, and he leveraged what should have been a good return to do it. The team was going nowhere even if he stuck with the squad for the rest of the season. I'll never hate fox as long as l live

02 is etched into my head forever

huh LeGodbros...where our supa team at

>[Quick] The tardiness to team flights and practices, according to a team source. The skipping of rehabilitation appointments. Fans saw him (Ayton) slam chairs when he was taken out of games. And a team source said there were tantrums in the locker room when he was sidelined for poor effort.

TOTALLY WORTH IT RIGHT LAKERS

My team lost free agency

>>149533897
>Fans saw him (Ayton) slam chairs when he was taken out of games. And a team source said there were tantrums in the locker room when he was sidelined for poor effort.
he's just like lebron

My celties become the first rape victim of the CBA :)

which one will finish lower
Lakeshit or GSW

>>149533955
lakeshits for sure
41 years old anchor with his bitch ass gleague son taking a spot, I'd be surprised if they win 30 games

is it over for him?

>>149529145
>if the cavaliers cuck the warriors and sign al horford im killing myself
revenge....

>>149534009
>t. cuckry stan
have fun dealing with butler taking the regular season off

>>149534018
He got his BWC supply sorted and 50 million

Free agency is so boring these days. Stars would just sign their extension and request a trade if they want to move. Is there anything the CBA can do to force more stars into free agency?

>>149534018
well when the steroids & HGH stop working the only option left is pure methamphetamems
meth'd up Lebronze would get ratings i suppose

lebron needs a reality check. you're 41 years old lmao. you should be team hopping like shaq

>>149534009
Why are people so buttmad about Bronnie. Oh shit he's taking the 15th roster spot, oh no what a disaster.

>>149534062
no
former knicks fan turned nets fan just keeping it real

>>149533783
>I'll never hate fox as long as l live
You have a great disposition. You seem like a lovely person. Let me tell you why you're wrong.
Fox being on the roster convinced them not to draft Luka as an extra ball-handler would be redundant
Fox being on the roster convinced them to trade Haliburton as he was a redundant ball-handler
Fox forced his way out to a preferred destination to minimize SAC's return

Yes, the blame does actually lie with Ranadive who knows nothing about basketball. But still.

>>149534018
i still believe in pelinka
they are not wasting one more year of Luka

>>149534018
His dream was to someday own an NBA team. Even after all of his endorsements, network deals, basketball income, investments, his entire career's net worth- he still can't afford even the cheapest team there would be to buy: the Charlotte Hornets, worth 3.3 billion sticky American dollary doos.

>>149534313
He's going to go into deal with venture capital and own part of an expansion team

>>149534313
>His dream was to someday own an NBA team.
That explains SO MUCH...and is SO silly, not a single goddamn nba team is worth a bill

>>149533897
LeMentor will fix him...

>>149534241
cause he's a bum who wouldn't be on any other teams' gleague roster and he's the 12th man on a team thats overhyped to death

>>149534313
Reminds me of that south park where because of music streams P Diddy's kid might not get a private island for his birthday. hate to see it.

>>149534313
nah he runs the player association and will for life
why run a team when you can basically extort every team for kickbacks like giving jobs to his entire family.

>>149534377
every single team has 4 unplayable players that sit on the bench shut the fuck up.

>>149534515
oh and a 60 game season is inevitable to protect his legacy of course

expectations: deandre ayton
reality: deandre jordan

>The Miami Heat and sharpshooter Duncan Robinson are in advanced talks on a new multi-year deal.
>The Heat are said to love their current roster and believe they can "make a run in the East" behind Duncan and rising "superstar" Tyler Herro.
>No other changes are expected.

LOL

>>149534644
>be the 8th seed and be humiliated in the first round by a team that lost in the second
>"let's run it back"

So this is... the power of Scat Cryly...

>>149534626
bro they're just preserving their cap space for bradley beal's free agency next year.

>>149534644
never beating the allegations

not easy to get excited about winning the chip this year if WestCHRIST isn't on the team.....

>>149534575
whatever you say Thibs
how's the job search going?

>>149534721
dawg you are dumb as fuck. every roster has 15 players and only 13 can play any game. at least 4 of those guys are garbage time guys and the other 2 are reserves that arent even allowed to play. oh no, bronny took up a reserve/garbage time spot on a rooke contract. fucking retarded fucck

>>149534313
This has been talked to death already. Lebron is already a sub-1% owner of Liverpool alongside Fenway Sports Group (also own the Boston Red Sox and the Pittsburgh Penguins). They have the inside track on the Las Vegas expansion team. They even carved out a provision of the current CBA so that active players are allowed partial ownership of the teams they play for, just for Lebron.

>>149533464
trvke.

>>149534313
The only way he's "owning" a team is as the public face of a jewish run venture capital firm

>[Scotto] Al Horford has received interest from several contending teams since the start of free agency, including the Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors, New York Knicks, Denver Nuggets, and Cleveland Cavaliers, league sources told HoopsHype

No reason Horford should go back to Boston outside of family loyalty.

It comes down to whether he wants to top out at an ECF appearance or potentially win a title with Denver or GS.

>>149534806
oh i guess you're happy with the current nba product built on nepotism & cronyism
by all means continue to enjoy this subpar shitshow sir dont mind me

>2024 Mavs blueprint under your eyes
>basically need some mid-tier centers and good shooters around Luka to win
>let's wait 2027 to sign a max-level player
Why are these retards paid millions to run a complete shitshow when the things to do are fucking obvious?
Even a mid-tier center will be great with Luka, then you can trade him for more.
Luka should get the fuck out of this team if he doesn't want to waste his time again.

>>149534870
Last time he left Boston he looked washed and then immediately looked ok after returning. I'd be careful if I was him when it comes to leaving the stoop.

is there no more deal for today?

>>149534898
Cool it with the antisemitic remarks

>>149534919
Yes. It's midnight on the East coast.

>>149534909
that's because Philly is garbage.

>>149534870
none of those teams are contending.

>>149534898
yeah bronny being on the team is the reason why the team sucks. youre a fucking retard.

Trvth nuke.

>>149535068
he aint lying

What team is he gonna be traded too?

>>149534989
nearly half the league has had a relative that is a former player its not just bronny but whatever

Skip cooking LeBum

>>149535068
>>149535086
nicosama won...

>>149532832
Kristaps only played half the games and Jrue was looking old a lot of the season.
They are down Tatum but Niang is a vey consistent three point shooter around 40% every year.

My celties finna win at least 40, make the 'offs, and have everyone shook because they play better on the road than at home.

Center is not going to be Tillman anyway. It's going to be Horford with either Luka Garza or Queta backing him up depending on the situation.

>>149533106
No way Brown and White take a fucking sabbatical

>>149535104
My Celties are winning 33 games and getting 1st overall to draft Cameron Boozer and having 50 million in cap space next summer.

>>149535102
I hope Lebron owns a team before Skeeup dies.

>>149534903
>2024 mavs
you mean the team that got heem'd in the finals?
why would you copy that blueprint

>>149535102
I now understand why life is temporary and comes with a lifespan. Imagine having to endure an eternity with Skip.

>>149535215
you'd at least have barkley to eternally cancel him out

the real question is where will PJ Tucker go

Oh they not talking bout Angel Reese no more

>>149535104
they lost to the knicks, no one is getting "shook" by this year's hospital team.

>>149535258
Angel Reese just had like 25/17/7

NBA really fucked up when they cracked down on illegal tampering. they made their product less entertaining and boring af

>>149535283
Yeah they're sick

>>149535193
That Boston team was the best team since 2017 GSW. Mavs just got unlucky

>>149535193
They lost because they didn't have enough shooters, so they know how to improve that blueprint, retard

>That Boston team was the best team since 2017 GSW
didn't know inceltic moved to kiwiland

FA is always funny having people act like who gets brook lopez matters at all. Some of these scrubs literally make their team worse being on the floor.

>>149535281
They lost to the Knicks because they fell apart after getting huge leads.
Tatum wasn't closing the games out well, Porzinings was worthless, Jrue was looking old, and they just fell apart with age and injuries.
Simmons will give them energy.
Luka Garza is better than benched aids zingis and Niang will probably at least hit a shot at the end of quarters and halfs instead of Tatum bricking up iso fade away threes.

>>149535312
There's been nearly a decade of *'s since then but at least the celtics went 16-3

Mid tier

2023 Nuggets
2024 Celtics

>>149535338

Lmao

>>149535338
>Can we beat inceltic's *?
YES WE DID

how different would this niggas career be if he just took the 80 mil from the lakers

>>149535389
would have been scapegoated like every other Lebron teammate, but at least when he got traded he would have money. would be a FA this summer.

apparently Sacramento is thinking of using Malik Monk to do a sign and trade for Schroder instead of just outright signing.

>>149535283
Time for another random drug test

uhh...lakerbros? This your guy?

>>149535102
Lopez isn't anywhere near the kind of center they want, they want someone like Lively, not a lead footed Frankenstein.
Lopez is just a tall sack of shit, not an athlete.

Nothing wrong with expressing yourself to the one you love, chud

>>149535505
I'm guessing some okcjeet posted that

>>149535505
Uhh you see, it's the Jokic's fault that the whole eastern conference collapsed against the HEAT. Due to regular season record, the HEAT didn't deserve to rep the east the final even though they won all of those series in the playoff

Magic
Rockets

OKC
Spurs
Nuggets

These are the only serious teams next season :)

>Spurs just signed another backup big center
>Wembyclot getting a superteam of Harper, Bryant, Fox, and Castle and keep Sochan

>Thunder have made no trades/sign-ins in the past 24 hours meanwhile Nuggets, Rockets, Mavs, Nets, Pelicans

Thunder-bros I think the 2-peat is in jeopardy

erm it would've been a real ring if jokic played the

>gaytum or janice
instead of kd and booker, and lebron and ad

Are the lakers retarded? Are they really soft shutting 2 years because muh 2027 FA?

>>149535338
Nugtroons hated that one

>>149535567
Adding Sorber and Topic will be enough. Presti will make a move at the deadline if the lack of shooting is killing them

>>149535579
okcjeets loved this one

>>149535555
>Nuggets trade Pooper Jr for another injury prone retard

Not in contention anon, hurry up and give me a (you) because I touch you

Yabusele is the only good big left on the market

>>149535530
pretty obvious. poo switched okc and nuggets places. the okc ring goes below the celtics one

>>149533003
they went 16-4
beat ant, rudy, kat, kd, book, cp3, lebron, ad, jimmy, bam

My ex told everyone I abused her and it's still going around even though I literally dindu nuffin. What's the /nba/ approved real nigga solution to this problem?

>>149535602
kill her

>>149535589
The major thing is that they now have a 20mil a year injured retard instead of a 40mil a year injured retard

>>149535602
There isn’t. The reality of modern society is that depending on who you surround yourself with, “women are always right and wouldn’t ever lie”.if you have proof of her lying, show it. If not, declare your innocence but cut everyone off.

>>149535567
why the fuck did you put the nets and pelicans on this list.

>>149535555
jimmy played every game and was not visibly injured
heero is trash and they won the east without him
the trannywolves got gentlemen swept you are coping

>>149535616
Yeah I feel I'm trapped in a corner here because if I try and deny it I look guilty as hell but if I say "there's two sides to the story" I do too. Women man.

>>149535586
I've been screaming all night for Presti to add Nickeil to the team, now Nickeil gets signed by Hawks and wastes his career on a shitty losing franchise with ball hogging high ego Trae Young

Nickeil a defensive pest and durable gem, and can replace the bum that is Kenrich that looks out of place and he can hit 3s, and is SGA cousins, it chronically perplexes me that Presti somehow missed the opportunity to waive Kenrich and Dieng and sign Nickeil,

I get not wanting to blow up the championship team but those names I mentioned didnt contribute to the winning effort, didn't get any minutes, and barely scored,

>Adding Sorber and Topic will be enough.
Depends on how quick they develop, usually takes most rookies about roughly the next year, I feel if they're busts it'll be all for nothing, OKC could've signed the Ryan Nembhard fella, they just look really lazy in this offseason, and theres so many huge trades going on and OKC just looks quieter than the Lakers FO

>>149533003
because no one considers the nuggets championship to be fake. they raped kd+booker and lebron+ad back to back while at the same time mindbreaking two or more players in ayton and jimmy butler.
my rapties making the list is pretty unfair though. we raped the #1 seed and warriors got put down to regular team strength instead of OP fake 4 all star in a starting lineup bullcrap so we raped them too.

>>149535475
>OKC defense is allowed to assault players while Shai can just jump on people to get fouls
>Dort kill Ja in a blow out game, no flagrant
>They went into Game 7 against Denver with no bench, Gordon was injured, and the game ended up being one of the worst officiated games of the year
>Wolves were simply not allowed to defend against them
>call Foster to extend the series against the Pacers with one of the worst officiated games in Playoffs history, forcing Haliburton to play more which lead to an achilles tear in Game 7
Carried even more than the Celtics.

>>149535633
>jimmy played every game and was not visibly injured
Because he toughed it out. But y'all will say OKC was an * because poor little AG hurt his bussy and limped for a second at the end of game 6 smfh
>the trannywolves got gentlemen swept
Yeah, because they were missing their 2nd best defender (best man defender) and their 6MOTY, retard.

>>149535622
Can you not read,

I said Pelicans, Nets and all the afformentioned teams all have made huge major trades, meanwhile OKC is just sitting around not realize these teams are building around them,

DFS and Capella means huge problems defensively especially with Amen Thompson as the icing on the cake

>>149533003
Why is 2020 lakers so hated? The lakers were already playing amazing before covid and beat clippers/bucks in the same week before shutdown.
Most people had them as top contenders even before the bubble. So why do they get all this shit? Someone had to win.

>>149535555
>Jimmy hurt
hows that cope treating you

only thing you can do to return to some semblance of normalcy

>>149535651
OKC was also being blown out by 30 before Dort killed Ja. It was easily a reverse sweep cause Foster was still recovering from anal rape bleeding in the hospital by then.

Pick you're WNBA cumslut

>>149535651
>They went into Game 7 against Denver with no bench,
2 of their wins came from Russ dropping 18 and Strawther dropping 15, kill yourself
>Gordon was injured
JDub had a torn ligament in his shooting hand, and he's much more important that a bum roleplayer who lied about being hurt and then got 11 rebounds the next game.
>and the game ended up being one of the worst officiated games of the year
Any time the Nuggets get BTFO = "worst officiated games of the year" LMAO you euros are so fucking transparent. Said the exact same shit last year when the Wolves destroyed them in game 2, softest team and softest fans in the league

>>149535713
>when the Wolves destroyed them in game 2
in 2024*

>>149535668
because the bubble itself is literally unlike anything the league has ever seen and whoever won it would be memed to death. The lakers had a great shot before the coof but shit happens

>>149535661
>he roughed it out
he was not visibly injured and played all 5 games and was dominated
meanwhile halliburton missed two games
you are so bitter lol that your ring is an * whole denvers is not

>>149535648
who cares about naw, dude got overrated just because he's available. The Thunder have three guys on their bench already who do the exact same things he can without the overall nagative +/- in the playoffs.

>>149535692
I used to think Caitlin looked a little too mannish but I’ve warmed up to her

In typical Lebron James sociopathic fashion,

>Refuses to take paycut
>Complains about shitty Lakers roster after trading everything away for AD
>Destroys championship roster after 2020 to sign Westbrick shit
>Now is completating leaving the Lakers(preferably back to cleveland) but cant because his retarded contract is too expensive,
>Reminder if he took a CHEAP minimum/sign and trade if im not mistaken he could've been traded back to cleveland with his son as well,

He's such a dumb faggot, I hate him, hope he gets severely injured like PG13, he's a dumbass and will never be Jordan, ruining Luka's career with his retarded bullshit, Lakers can do nothing cause he didn't wanna take the cut or propose ideas, and its his fault on why Lakers are dogshit,

>>149535713
>>149535719
the jeets are seething so hard
going to two game sevens with the refs on your side and getting injury luck really mindbroke you * ring now and forever

>>149535713
>2 of their win are because these bench players made their wide open 3 and lay up. They did only what OKC bench can do every game
>MPJ has torn shoulder, Westbrook has torn hand ligaments as well, and Aaron Gordon has torn hamstring.
>OKC depth easily can make up for jdub injury.

>>149535664
"the 2-peat is in jeopardy because of the nets trading for a bum no one else wanted"

>>149535764
Nah. Luka sucks and hasn’t won anything in his career. AD is better than Luka too.

>>149535668
because its the lakers
reminder no one had a problem with the bubble when the plan first came out, the narrative literally was
>uhm askually the 5 month break is BAD for the lakers, clippers or bucks winning it all
because everyone thought AD would be out of shape
then the heat btfo the bucks and it became
>ok clippers winning the chip
then kaload and wayoff p choked a 3-1 and it became
>omg u guise the nuggets are on a historic comeback 2 3-1 comebacks the lakers are finished
then the nuggets got cooked and thats when finally everyone started calling it a "mickey mouse" ring

>>149535692
bueckers and natasha cloud 3way.

>>149535764
>its his fault on why Lakers are dogshit,

>>149535713
wow jdubs torn ligament was so serious he didn't need to get immediate surgery like westbrook did for his broken hand after the season ended. totally a real injury guys

>>149535786
looks like an old shitter that got hard carried by AD in the years AD didn't spend injured

also why am i replying to the shitposting poojeet?

>>149535742
But Nickeil can replace Kenrich far better, his shooting efficiency is very reliable

Better passing, shooting and playmaking as a whole, watch the Denver game on April 1st, and hitting those FTs with the pressure and booing, dropping 20+ pts and replacing Reid and Dontes role because they were suspended after the detroit fight

he's a dawg when the bench is having an offnight, huge L by Presti, you have to fight fire with fire, look at the Rockets, and the Pelicans, some trades and moves by OKC would be wise

>>149535764
why are laker tards the only "fans" that consistently demand their stars play for free so they can win another mickey mouse ring?

>>149535801
no, it looks like the lakers were fucking dog shit for 10 years before lebron got there
>its his fault on why Lakers are dogshit
there was not an inkling that the lakers were about to turn around their awfulness before lebron got there

>>149535828
Lakers have the largest fanbase, which means the most casual fanbase, which means the dumbest fans. Warriors are 2nd easily.

>>149535775
>Obvious ragebait

Not taking the bait

AD played 10 games per year, Luka played all the games while injured meanwhile LeBum injured his LeGroin,

>>149535767
>They did only what OKC bench can do every game
You mean what Caruso did. Meanwhile Dort, Jdub and Chet were shooting a whopping 28%, 24% and 22% from 3 while being given wide open looks by Shai and the zone defense, and the "stacked bench" of Isaiah Joe and Wiggins shot 33% and 34%, padded by garbage time lmao

>MPJ has torn shoulder, Westbrook has torn hand ligaments as well, and Aaron Gordon has torn hamstring.
Gordon and MPJ were both strains, liar. Westbrook is nowhere near as important as Jdub.
>>149535795
Presti literally just said he's getting surgery today retard.

>>149535812
He doesn't replace kenrich, kenrich barely plays. Naw isn't getting 15 mil to be out there 5 minutes.

>>149535648
>>149535812
Kenrich is strong enough to defend 4s and 3s like Randle and Siakam, NAW can't. OKC does not need NAW when Cason Wallace exists and fills his role a hundred times better, on a rookie contract

>brook lopez chose the clippers over the lakers
rob pelinka should kill himself

>>149535844
>Bring up points
>Suddenly bring up shooting %
Okay, show me the Nugget's shooting % then

staying healthy is a skill

if your team loses due to injuries, they lost due to a lack of skill

>>149535883
Injuring the other team is the real skill. If you can injure the other team, that is the true showing of skill

>>149532286
>From a bball standpoint MPJ is better than Cam w/o factoring money
not on this team
it lets AG play his position more naturally rather than the kind of inverted 3/4 situation and Cam can actually dribble and pass the ball while moving some off ball while also shooting roughly the same percentage on catch and shoot 3s so it will open things up inside a little more

>>149535883
>I should have been more skill-ACK!

>>149535879
Russ shot 22% and Strawther shot 45%, you can look up the starters yourself.

>>149535828
>Thinks im a lakers fan,

I don't give a shit, im unironically a socialist, Lebum is a billionaire so he unironically he should play for free, but he's a egotiscal bitch who can't handle the idea of ending with a few pennys less in his pocket

Poltics aside, the whole thing makes me mad, cause he complained about bad the roster was, only to go around and opt in to the one thing thats fucking over the Lakers,

and theres many issues on why Lakers are shit, leme break it down a bit,

>Lebron getting rid of people who outshine him or inconviene him despite causing the issue
>D-Russell never got touches, the Lebron handled it was awful and Russell prolly was suicidal after that, poor guy
>Westbrick never should've been on the team, and it was why Malik Monk left and he was really good,
>Let go of Lonnie Walker cause Walker played too good in the playoffs and helped Lakers win and LeBron doesn't like that, im not shitting you, look it up

Lebron is a horrible person at times and never cares about winning truly

>>149535899
Holy fuck Ja Morant's cock is huge

>>149535713
>having the balls to say that Denver had a bench
lmao, clownass leaf like always
>JDub had a torn ligament in his shooting hand
So JDub can score 40 with a torn ligament in his shooting hand, but Gordon is a liar for getting 11 rebounds? Kek
>Any time the Nuggets get BTFO = "worst officiated games of the year" LMAO you euros are so fucking transparent. Said the exact same shit last year when the Wolves destroyed them in game 2, softest team and softest fans in the league
Everyone said it but muh Nuggets fans, right? I don't even care about their team.
Btw Wolves destroyed the Nuggets last year and OKC had to go in 7 to beat them.
Russ is that strong? Damn!
Don't forget to thanks the refs every night, little leaf, the whole league saw through your bullshit, it's why they are more worried about the Mavs than your winning team.

>>149535874
guess he still remembers what kawhi did to them in game 3 2019

Yabusele or Al Horford for the Nuggets? We have like 10-11 million to offer either of them, but idk who's better for this team
Also we're interested in signing Brogdon apparently

>>149535578
I wonder if they are just bullshitting to push Lebron out.

>>149535852
Yet NAW helped defeat Denver, and Kenrich is not that clutch at all, and barely had a role in the finals,

he bricked the first 3 he shot and got benched after

>>149535859
But Wallace is streaky and both him and Caruso are streaky as fuck, NAW hits 3s way more often than they do,

These playoffs were actually great, don't see why people complaining. Thunder cashed my finals bets and got to see both tatum and halishitter tear their shit rofl.

>>149535915
isnt al horford an old fart

>>149535903
lebron is the bad guy because he was underpaid his entire career in regard to the revenue he generated. Cry more every other team in the league can win a title inside the salary cap without cheating.

>>149535903
>>D-Russell never got touches, the Lebron handled it was awful and Russell prolly was suicidal after that, poor guy
dlo got plenty of chance, dude admitted he just doesn't care about winning
>>Let go of Lonnie Walker cause Walker played too good in the playoffs and helped Lakers win and LeBron doesn't like that, im not shitting you, look it up
>literal headcanon
the nets let him go and he went to the celshits and they literally waived him, dude just isn't good
why do you think the spurs let him walk in the first place

Which team is the bigger fraud 2025 OKC or 2024 Celtics?

reg szn> playoffs. it's funny how much more active nba chatter is right after the draft

God I'm glad my team isn't overpaying bums anymore. Kornet getting 41M deal, Levert still somehow milking his 15th team, Looney and Capela still in the league with lucrative contracts, Joe Jingles still getting a contract to pay for his attached catheter...

>>149535947
Who's your team?

>>149535945
OKC. Celtics didn't go injuring people when they thought they were about to lose the series.

>>149535947
surprising how much of the league hasn't discovered the correlation between winning rosters and the lack of dead money on them.

>>149535945
Celtics for sure. You can criticize OKC for choking game 1 and not winning the series 4-1 but they are a solid team.

>>149535915
Yabusele would be better

>>149535962
>t. Gaytum

>>149535911
>So JDub can score 40 with a torn ligament in his shooting hand, but Gordon is a liar for getting 11 rebounds? Kek
Yes, because Jdub is an All-nba caliber player, while Nuggets deliberately lie to throw off the scouting report, like they did when Murray had his "mystery illness" and then dropped 28 points. They're shameless like that
>Btw Wolves destroyed the Nuggets last year and OKC had to go in 7 to beat them.
Yeah, because Aaron Gordon became a 40+% 3 point shooter over the offseason and Christian Braun took a big leap. OKC Thunder is one of the youngest teams in the league and lost at least 2 games due to execution and inexperience, never from the Nugshits outplaying them
>Don't forget to thanks the refs every night, little leaf, the whole league saw through your bullshit, it's why they are more worried about the Mavs than your winning team.
Keep crying. It'll make the repeat all the more sweeter.

>>149535935
>LeJew deserves to be paid even though he's a billionaire

I really don't care,

He's 41, when you consider the absurdity of it all, theres more of an stronger argument for him to be playing for free, but alas I don't care about the Lakers but I pity OG fans who've been around since Kobe days and see their team turned to shit

I don't even know why opt'ed in, when he could've done a sign and trade and let the lakers move on from him and build around luka, meanwhile he heads back to cleveland on a cheap minimum, rides the bench and comes off the bench in clutch moments and to win another ring, he plays good but playing for 40 minutes is excessive,

Is it possible for the chinese guy to come to the Lakers

>>149535915
DJ leaving should open up more cap, that's 3m more. and maybe if they can do something with Nnaji and Saric that's more money as well.

>>149535945
OKC. The refs saved them from going down 3-1 in the finals.

>>149535976
the jeet is still coping over this * I'm fucking crine

>masai drafts some bust

Masai was quiet quitting

>>149535980
>I pity OG fans who've been around since Kobe days and see their team turned to shit
don't try and speak for me zoomer faggot, this team has been a chaotic mess since 2011
(and not to mention the post shaq pre gasol years too)

>>149535961
Heat. You can argue Adebayo extension isn't great but they stopped dishing free cash to bums. This year is still going to suck cause they're stuck with kevin love, kyle anderson and rozier for another year but at least they've positioned themselves to potential success down the road

I’ve been a lakies fan since chris mihm and smush parker. Stopped rooting for them when they got lebeta

Ayesha and the bull broke up and is seeking a replacement according to Chris Haynes

lakers should get bam. heat are in full tank mode

how did denver make a trade without a gm?

>>149535980
Your entire premise is retarded, it doesn't matter what he's paid the only thing moving the needle for the lakers is if Giannis magically joined the team in return for nothing. They can't compete with or without dfs and they could have signed his ass if they wanted to regardless. The ownership literally just openly refused to "compete" this year and you're blaming brons 1 year contract. Lebrons contract didn't cancel the Mark Williams trade because they Lakers wanted to tank and keep their draft picks.

>>149532118
Why feel bad for Luka? This season is a wash anyways as long as LeBum is on the team. Saving assets for him instead of giving everything away for a one year window with LeBum is a good thing.

>>149536050
Lakers have absolutely no assets to trade in return.

I can't wait for the buckets of seethe next year when shai-dildos repeats and the lakers lose in the fucking play-in.

>>149536094
honestly never understood where these imaginary seething lakers fans are, seems like they're in their own lane desu. Never understood the strawmen. I see more warriors fans publicly seething.

>>149536088
what, heat can salary dump bam while picking up a bunch of laker shitters on cheap contracts

>>149536127
lakers can't aggregate salaries because they're hardcapped

SOMEONE TRADE FOR LEBRON AND GET THESE BRONSEXUALS AWAY FROM MY TEAM

>>149536146
but I wanna see >lakeshit for another year

Lebum - 7 seasons with the Lakers only two 50 win seasons (carried by AD & Luka)
this y'all goat lmao

>>149536143
wow not only did the cba ruin the playoffs it ruined the offseason too! so only bums and bench players can get traded fucking christ

>>149536146
CAVS! PICK UP THE PHONE!

why they crying about lebron like he didn't opt in. it's not like nigga is forcing a trade

>>149536146
hell naw. Have you seen that contract? That's like 2 1/2 starters

LeGOAT is based af for telling Pelinka to fuck off, taking all his money, and telling the whole world his roster is shit.

>>149536156
Good, stars hoping teams every year is gay. Vultures out there can stop lurking around Lamelo.

>>149536060
There are many issues, the CBA is an issue,

But my point is, with what I know now, why didn't he just opt-out? and then just goes back to Cleveland on a minimum, the whole thing is enraging me, everything you hear from Rich Paul, its 10x worse in private with what Lebum says,

The whole idea of him opt-ing in and then saying "he'll watch how the team goes" seems like he wants to sabotage Luka in a way,

Its obvious he wants to "win" while still chasing stats, he could've just gotten them to do a sign and trade, then Lakers could've signed the Centers that were in free agency, he's a narcissist, and knows he won't have a big role on the current Cleveland roster, with him not starting and all and not getting up to 20 mins

I read online, twitter, reddit, etc, there's a gazillion solid centers all in free agency/about to be that are being signed by teams now
>Clint Capella
>Brook Lopez
>Luke Kornet
>Steven Adams before he signed the extension

Lebron simply made no attempt to encourage the FO to pursue them even though Lebron has pushed for certain trades and signings in the past, its painful cause the all retard lakers moaned about Centers as if it was hard to obtain and there's a dozen right there and they fumble it all, Lakers are gonna miss the playoffs and probably play-in, Houston, OKC, Nuggets, Wolves, are just gonna fuck them over, they can't win with the same exact roster with this time with no center

>>149536163
absolutely hilarious Pelinka offered Lebron that player option in his extension as if other clubs were in a hurry to sign this dusty old ass

>>149536176
>Good
you'll never win a ring CJ

>>149536156
not exactly
the 'lebron years' shit fucked up everything everybody looking for a sign & trade because of that the new rules now make that virtually impossible

So was the big trade Scams was hyping the MPJ trade?

no you see Bron Bron is hitler cause they picked his son with #55

>>149536156
And.... its all Kevin Durants fault

who want me?

>>149536178
>>Brook Lopez
>>Luke Kornet
>solid centers
I swear to fuck when will you retards are look at the teams you talk about
the lakers do NOT need a slow big or s stretch fives, the lakers need rim runners and young centers for luka to tandem with
maybe you've forgotten but AD isn't on the team anymore, there isn't someone who can play the 4 and cover the holes on defense or grab boards on the offensive end with the center outside of the paint

>>149536178
He's 100% sabotaging out of spite. Front office told him they're not building around him anymore so he's taking as much money as he can and making sure they suck for as long as he can. He might even talk Luka into leaving, kek.

if i were AD i would run up on Lediddy and kick him in the balls first chance i get

https://x.com/EthicalHoopz/status/1939725446607778301
mayne what the fuck is bronny doing full court pressing a dude in garbage time(?)

>>149536221
>I swear to fuck when will you retards are look at the teams you talk about

Well guess what dumbass, they'll be better than Jaxson fucking Hayes who looks like a simpsons character,

AND cause those centers I mentioned they can actually ball and have a high IQ, its floundering how Lakers fans acting shocked about needing a center as if its impossible and then there was 10 centers in free agency and lakers didn't even try to ring the phone of one, meanwhile GSW is already in contacting in getting Old Al

>>149536241
why? AD is in a much better place now.

>>149536230
Luka should leave and push hard for it, Lakers will know what its like to lose for bit and for a long time until they can get their picks, like Sacramento, Wizards, Hornets, Pelicans, Utah, Minnesota in the past and etc

nuggets are only 1 big man away to properly contend in the playoff

>>149536263
Only unironically,

AD isn't bad but he's goddamn injury prone its painful and frustrating, the current mavs right would be a superteam if the players weren't aging/older and injury prone

>>149536275
they are one westbrook and 1 big man away to properly contend*

>>149536262
>al horford in 2025
lol
lmao even

>>149536263
true but its the principal of the matter
LeGM manipulated his career

Where do you think the remaining free agents are going if you had to guess, /nba/?

LeBum is mad that the Lakers won’t let him do his GM shit anymore it’s pretty obvious now he just lashing out. The Lakers pretty much told him to fuck off the moment they got Luka they don’t have to listen to LeChina since he’s a grandpa.

>>149536316
who's left?

>>149536310
crazy talk. lebron got ad to come get his first ring. then ad couldnt stay healthy. then they kept running into jokic. ad was also being paid supermax the entire time. then he got traded to dallas where lebron is going to go to reunite with kyrie.

>>149536323
Yup. It's embarassing. And ESPN is trying so hard to spin it as something else. Luka is retarded if he's not bothered by any of this.

>>149536287
Bro your Jalen Pickett?

>>149536324
>>149536316
Im checking right now

Thomas Bryant, Malcolm Brogdon, Lonnie Walker, Seth Curry, Chris Paul, Jordan Clarkson, Larry Nance Jr,

and a bunch more but many of them are resigning/negotiating with another team right now

>>149536316
Myles Turner is going to the Toronto Raptors

>>149536334
biggest * ring in league history
AD could've forced a sign & trade anywhere the difference is LeGM got the league to give the pelicans Zion. AD could see the east was were he would dominate and had the star pull to get players to come to him

>>149536316
Somewhere in the East probably. It's wide open rn. Any mid ass team like the hawks or pistons has a good shot at deep run next szn

If you believe it the Lakers and Klutch Mafia have been having a power struggle for a couple years now and Rich Paul didn’t like the Lakers didn’t tell him AD was getting traded.

What has a Sean Marks team won during his entire tenure?

>>149536359
lmao lebron couldnt stop kyrie from leaving but he can stop ad from leaving? get real

>>149536359
yeah which is why the biggest star he got in nola was boogie who immediately left him after only half a season

>>149536385
the warriors were the only team that wanted him because he was so washed

I will not feel bad for Luka if he decides to fuck himself and sign next month. Not my problem. You can't help people that won't help themselves. He can sign in LA, get bounced in the first round every year and sunbathe his fat belly on the beach all he wants. I just won't be rooting for the guy anymore. I can't stand loser mentality bitches.

>>149536395
good then you can finally fuck off and stop pretending to give a shit about basketball

>>149536395
He would be pretty retarded to sign it with having Pelinka as a trash GM.

>>149536403
Exactly, nothing worse than euros who just started watching to self insert as some fag from their war torn country

>>149536403
Nah, I'll still be here to piss your BABB ass off, lil buck.

>>149536395
he got fucked bottom line
he should be demanding a trade

Calvin Booth's incompetence should land him a Raptors job

APOLOGIZE

>>149536428
Was Booth retarded?

>>149536428
Which one is the GM that's about to trade Jokić?

the guy who traded 5 first round pick for Mikyal gumby Bridges still has a job

>>149536444
Could’ve used those picks for Giannis instead KWAB KNICKS

>>149536428
I would watch this new sitcom
what's its name?

>>149536428
They should trade Jamal Murray next kek

>>149536428
One of Yabusele, Horford or Boucher and another ball handler like Brogdon and I'm eating Wagyu for a week

>>149536428
Do you know the guy in middle played against DWade in college?

>>149536453
unreal
the knicks were worried about paying Randle are now stuck paying Kat $52 million while Randle just signed for $33 million kwab

He won. God gives the hardest tasks to the best of his soldiers and this man calmly withstood the biggest shitstorm and came up on top

[Buha] My understanding was that.. Luka told them (the Lakers) he wanted to keep DFS
Lmao Luka jetting out of LA next year

>>149536489
Man single-handedly ruined Lakers, Lebron's retirement and Luka's career

>>149536482
doesnt matter bro a guy like randle will never win a ring

>>149536489
>>149536514
GOAT

>>149536510
Nah, he's a soft bitch. He's going to sign and cite "muh loyalty" when in reality he just doesn't want to ruffle anyone's feathers.

>>149536510
Holy FUCK it would be hilarious if Luka leaves the Lakers

>>149536510
Luka in Denver with his best friend Jokic.....

>>149536525
You've gotta confront him in person and bully him into leaving. You're his only hope now young soldier

Lakers gonna trade for PJ Washington to keep Luka happy

>>149536437
>Was Booth retarded?
Yes. He cribbed Connelly's notes and got the final pieces the Nuggets needed for a championship then went rogue. Stated that he didn't GAF about going back-to-back because he was building a dynasty off of late 2nd round picks he scouted (Strawther, Watson, Pickett etc). Signed Murray to $50M a year, let KCP walk away without getting anything for him, gave Jackson, Nnaji and Saric retarded contracts. Threw away 3 2nd round picks to get off of Jackson's contract. Threw 3 more 2nd round picks away to ensure he'd get Holmes in the draft after telegraphing to the entire league that he wanted him. Am I forgetting anything else? The MPJ contract wasn't his fault as it was made before he took over as GM.

you could clearly tell there was something wrong with the vibes between the lakers and lebron post AD trade

Even with the team winning Lebron did not look the same in his demeanor

>>149536517
i agree but wasnt my point
they couldve just let randle walk but now have to honor Kat's player option for $52 mill
could've kept their 5 first round picks still get bounced in playoff but had ammo to make real moves this offseason

>>149536531
BAWBs

>>149536553
He was 100% assmad the Lakers made that big of a trade mid-season without asking his approval

Man, if I had the power Luka has I'd walking into the front office on DAY ONE and say "Get LeTrash off my team, get me a big man and I might sign next summer." How you going to let yourself get fucked by an organization and then go on to cuck out yet again for the next one.

>>149536567
Nobody cares about Luka, he’s not a winning player

>>149536567
LeDiddy worship and Klutch have him hypnotized

Lebonbon has overstayed his welcome

>>149536580
I don't remember asking, Inceltic. How about you worry about Gaytum's one year long torn pussy rehab?

>>149536562
dude Lediddy MADE the trade you think he didn't orchestrate that deal you must be blind

>>149536597
I thought so too at first, but after the sale, it's pretty obvious the league made it happen so Laker's valuation would be the highest possible

>>149536614
This.

>>149536553
Because the lakers are move on
LeOld's era is over. His lack of success meant he overstayed his welcome.

>>149536594
not inceltic, coward.

>>149536626
Didn't luka belt shai last year?

>>149536594
Nigga still traumatized by the damn Celtics

>>149536614
you really think a star player with 1 year left on a contract drove the price of the LA fucking Lakers up?

>>149536626
Lmao, no one respects your *. Even Gaytum's ring is more respected.

>literally no major signings today
>only big move was a lateral (mpj for cam)
>/nba/ can't stop talking about my lakies
someone post that image about who really lost the trade

>>149536630
Did Luka get the belt from ANT this year?

>>149536647
On a team with no center sure

>>149536647
You really think rudy gobert is an offensive force and not the Lakers having no center?

>>149536637
Yeah, it's my fault inceltic's 'cord can't stop obsessing over Luka, kek.

>>149536567
>>149536594
>>149536529
I've obbessed with NBA bullshit all day and have lost sleep, I screamed in my car when Porter got traded for Cam Johnson, cause im surprised the trade was that weak,

My question is.. the Luka/Jokic duo is what is needed realistically, but how does Luka leave the Lakers as a whole??

How does his contract work, if he tries to act like he wants out then they'll trade him to a shitshow like the Hornets for picks,

Tyus jones to orlando was a nice pickup super cheap as well

Sixers signing Watford only makes sense if they lose Yabusele

>>149536567
He has zero power over a top 5 player this league has ever seen. He should sign the max, enjoy lebrons farewell tour and hope the front office can build something with the tons of space the lakers have after.

>>149536660
Luka for Murray money would work lol

>>149536672
Nuggets seem like they're getting Yabu. Horford to the Warriors, Ayton to the Lakers. Boucher and Nance I honestly have no idea where they go. Maybe the Spurs for one of them

>>149536650
>>149536658
Tell that weak bitch ass white boy to lift some weights, LeBron was playing 5 in the NBA Finals 2016-18. Luka can’t even guard Gobert with no bag?

>>149536694
Shai is less respected than luka despite being fat and white lmao

>>149536698
Shai hasn’t lost in the first round since he played with CP3

>>149536660
Luka and Jokić is not the magical duo people think they are. They just group them together because they're both stars from the Balkans. Luks needs an athletic team around him. Rim protection, lob threats. Since the playmaking and scoring part is covered by him.

>had 2 great wings
>all time point guard
>expiring contracts and 2 young players on good contracts for an attractive trade package

>do nothing but give lebron 50 million dollars, let dfs walk and possibly Austin gone for nothing as well.

Lakers never miss a moment to fuck up

>>149536707
Shai needed generational ref help and injuries to beat the pacers in the finals in 7

>>149536698
Shai is consensus top 3 player
Luka is borderline top 5

>>149536713
>Shai beat the Pacers in the Finals in 7 games
What happened when Luka went to the Finals?

>>149536675
He has the power to just not sign. Lakers are powerless.

>>149536714
Irrelevant

>>149536718
kek got him

Luka got the scoring title with 10apg and didn't sniff an mvp win lol. Media got that big ol shai dick down their throats

>>149536714
If you listen to ESPN

>>149536718
>>149536726
Kyrie got shook by a leprechaun decal

>>149536730
Because Luka gave up the same amount of points on the other end, Shai won a scoring title playing on both sides of the court whereas Luka conserved energy whining to the refs

>>149536730
Shai didn't win that year, "despite the loss"man did. Shai won because he took a team filled with rookie contract players to 68 wins while missing Chet, Harteinstein, and Caruso for 30+ games each

>luka do denver
Yes yes, but have you ever considered
>jokic to LA the second Bron retires

So many thirsty blk bois in my (You)'s. Trying to bait me into giving them attention. A bunch of pick me ahh sluts.

luka looks at the ref every play

>>149536722
He'd be stupid not to

>>149536709
Sounds like he's need to pull a KD and join OKC unironically, they'd cover his lack of defense, and playmake for him but that would be only be possible in a weird sign and trade with Jdubs traded out or the old cba without the aprons

But if he wants a team that can merge with his cerebral nature of high IQ and passing then him and Jokic leading would be a delight and interesting, it would just suck for such a talented player with some flaws obviously but end up retiring with no ring

>>149536730
because he was the 5th seed and it was worse than that before the deadline trades. Nico should have been the mvp if anything

>>149536740
Shai's ""defense"" is a meme. He was getting cooked by roleplayers the entire playoffs.

>>149536765
Denver would need a generational defender to cover up that defense

Why people writing in okc to repeat like we haven't gotten a new champ every year

>>149536765
He would murder the league with the Spurs. 3 rings at least.

This current Nuggets FO should just be sending Zeke Nnaji to the glue factory

>>149536774
He had the most steals and blocks by a guard in a finals ever. Stop listening to fake xtter narratives.

>>149536774
The guy with the most stocks in a Final. series by a guard? Luka getting cooked is his average game

>>149536783
cmon mayne its pretty obvious they have everyone locked and the mvp. in theory they should be even better

>>149536785
But niggas in here were telling me he's good and that Malone just refused to give him a shot, kek.

>>149536783
Hartenstein and Chet played under 50 games and they won 68 giving Ousmane Dieng real minutes at the 5 much of the season

>>149536785
They should buy him out, but Kroenke is notoriously cheap

The Lakers' adds were supposed to be NAW and BroLo

It's gonna be Ayton and LaRavia, who's kinda good.

>>149536802
He still got 3 years left

>>149536792
That being said i do think the Nuggets can beat Okc

>>149536805
LaVaria averages 6ppg and Ayton has flat out given up on his team in a WCF game 7, I don’t know why Lakers fans hype up trash all the time

>>149536784
That's fucking true, but at the same time he'd overshadow Wemby and it might be a Kyrie/Lebron 2.0 or Kobe/Shaq, but Wemby is a nice fellow and I doubt that would happen but who knows

I think if Lebron leaves I think Lakers will recognize its best to NOT fuck over Luka and just let him go with a mercy trade to Spurs realistically, Lakers don't ask for too much and let it ride out with being a lottery team like Utah and Wizards, cause they know its hard to salvage much and no teams will want any of their players without picks

>>149536813
Never underestimate a white boy playing for the laker hes a dawg

>>149536825
Austin Reaves against the Wolves?

Blunderskitz vs Slovenia cage match is needed. Inceltic vs skitz too

>>149536805
>Dogshit players

So it seems like they're just letting themselves become a lottery team pretty much, nothing but rubbish role players

>>149536740
>>149536787
>>149536790
oh yes the same sga that had a worse blow by percentage than luka in the finals and is the worst defender in okc's rotation

Westgod please sign with the nuggets…. They got a real chance but only with you

What’s next year looking like for him?

>>149536834
Watch the games retard Luka is not a better fucking defender than SGA

>>149536817
They just said they want to keep their books clean for 2027 free agency. 2 years wasted for a gamble that probably won't hit in this CBA. They're hopelessly retarded.

>>149536828
he played thru a big toe sprain but thats not even the point bruh the lakers get the best of these white scrappy dudes thats a fact

>>149536841
>lenigger

>>149536841
Indicted at the diddy trial and suicide

>>149536834
>a worse blow by percentage than luka in the finals
Like I said, stop listening fake xtter narratives

>>149536834
jeuss fucking christ watch the games my brother

>>149536859
>>149536859
>>149536859
>>149536859
>>149536859

>>149536850
Lakers get the most mid players ever but they get hyped up and astronomical free throw rate because they play in LA

>>149536864
no

>>149536831
I don't give Blunderskitz the attention he craves since I know it makes him mad. I already won by mindbreaking him into becoming a schizo in the first place, kek.

>>149536817
>bro I swear pls just let luka go pls I swear it'll be for the better of everyone involved pls
pathetic faggot, I hope they give him the first 10 year supermax just to spite a sorry excuse of a man like you

>>149536869
>Let the talented player rot on a rich but shit team with no picks and terrible players

Silly faggot, ragebait is pathetic

>>149534644
Riley is so fucking cheap and basically tanked an easy market for players. It's fucking Miami. You know how many FA you can sign off a ride through the beach?

Like, I get he has old school mentality and wants to build up, but he basically blew those Jimmy years and then didn't even want to pay him.

>>149535578
Probably trying to force Bron out. I mean, I don't mind taking the money, but this is the exact situation >kobr left them in. You should take the money, but don't bitch about the team when you're contract eats up most of the cap.

>>149535945
OKC. What the fuck? Refs basically gifted them against the Nuggets and Pacers.
