news- shams formerly woj

Why hasn't lebron shown up at the diddy trial? How powerful is klutch

I can’t sleep tonight my team is garbage

Nuggets and Magic are winning tbe offseason so far

FACTOS

Which ESPN exec put her in charge? The draft was so cringe

>>149536859 (OP)
What’s LeFraud legacy on the Lakers?

There are LeBum fans here who were defending the payout, who also want LeBum to leave because the Lakers are shit. At least Gaytum fans had to pretend he had aura, Klutch media is full of actual retards

>pelinka ruining his team when he has luka and lebron
What the helly

>>149536878
Nets won the offseason

>>149536879
She could pass off as a dude.

>>149536883
This isn’t the gotcha you think it is. Why would LeBron take a paycut if he’s leaving the Lakers?

>>149536774
>>149536834
The funny thing is SGA is a far better defender than Luka, had multiple steals and only looked bad on some defensive ends because of he was outmuscled and dealing with larger hybrids/bigs PFs

Meanwhile Luka is a 260lbs apparently and doesn't try even one bit on defense, and was a traffic cone the whole time

>>149536878
Bruce brown is washed

>>149536904
Why did they fire mike malone if they were going to trade mpj

>>149536898
He's leaving LA because it's shit, which is only because of his enormous pay checks and LeGMing. Lakers can get any FA it wants if he takes the pay cut.

>>149536878
Magic really didn’t do shit but bring in a roleplayer on a roster of roleplayers

it went from - "miriam adelson traded Luka cause she wants to move the team" to "the Lakers traded for Luka to get more money from selling the Lakers"
klutch media got you niggas brainwashed
let me spell it out for you wetbrains
LeDIDDY ORCHESTRATED THE TRADE NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT HIS APPROVAL HE CONTROLS THE PLAYERS ASSOCIATION
all Nico did was order a high chair for AD & changed the name on the parking spot

>>149536878
awwwwww aahhhhhww

>>149536912
Bane and Tyus jones. Exactly what they needed

>>149536910
Only a bitch takes a pay cut (KD)

>>149536910
Why would he take a paycut when he’s a top ten player producing at a top ten level and has been (top 5) since he came to the Lakers? He’s leaving LA because the GM can’t put a contender around GOAT without the irrational notion that your best player signs for less than the max

>>149536918
Did you get raped at a Diddy party?

LeBum won’t leave the Lakers he’s like a parasite that will suck them dry.

>>149536912
Paolo is up there with Giannis, Embiid, and LeBron when it comes to rim pressure gravity and now he has the best shooter ITL not named steph sitting there. Franz is also amazing at rim pressure. Orlando might win more games than Cleveland. Orland and Denver had the best offseasons IMO.

>>149536920
>Stat padding bum who gases out in Q4 is worth 50m
kekaroo

>>149536917
For the sixth seed

>>149536882
I never understood why Lakers were favorites when Timberwolves raped the nuggets in the semifinals and made Murray and Porter look insanely vulnerable in the first few games while Wolves themselves were dealing with injuries

not to mention Wolves beat Nuggets all regular season

Murray/Braun/Johnson/Gordon/Jokic
Brogdon/Strawther/Bruce/Watson/Yabusele

>>149536929
But enough about Luka

>>149536917
The Magic is now also FREE of GARY HARRIS JR

>>149536927
>Giannis, Embiid, and LeBron when it comes to rim pressure gravity
He’s a big man that shoots 44% from the field

>>149536942
>brogdon in 2026

Thats tuff

Jamal murray for lebron james

>>149536950
he's a big perimeter slasher with a guard handle and the best athleticism you can find in this world and he's only getting better.

>>149536958
55 TS% is tuff

So the Twolves are basically gutting their team resigning Naz and Randle?

>>149536958
the person youre arguing doesnt watch magic games. probably doesnt even know Paolo's injury fucked his season big time

>>149536963
Now the defense has to guard the other guys lol. Will you be talking about true shooting percentage when orlando is the 1 or 2 seed?

>>149536970
they got completely humiliated and decided to run it back. lmao

>>149536971
Was he injured last year when he shot sub 30% from three?
>>149536973
No one will be talking about Orlando until Franz and Paolo actually improve

>>149536981
Born: November 12, 2002 (Age: 22-231d)

>>149536987
Yeah, development is linear in the NBA just like in 2k!

>>149536970
I would’ve picked NAW over Randle who only good in the playoffs because he against garbage defense teams like the Lakers.

>>149536979
Whose picking up Nickeil aka poverty Shaii?

>>149536904
Luka also gets tons of steals so I guess he's elite too

>>149536992
hawks signed him to a 4yr 62 million deal

Why are the Magic better when Paolo isn’t on the court?

>>149536992
Hawks already did

>>149536904
>nd only looked bad on some defensive ends because of he was outmuscled and dealing with larger hybrids/bigs PFs
It wasn't even that, he dealt with those guys fine. It was Hali and McConnel, two guys with great first steps, that would get him the few times it did happen. Retards see lowlights of him getting crossed by Mcconel in one guy and think it's the entire series, while ignoring him blocking Hali or locking up Siakam.

Nobody respects my championship. I'm a fraud of a player and man.

>>149536996
You think Curry was an elite defensive guard in his prime? Yes or no question

>tfw Spurs, Mavs, and Rockets could all be good at the same time

There's usually two good Texas teams while one of them is dogshit, I don't think there's ever been a year where all three Texas NBA teams are playoff contenders.

>>149537008
>in one guy
one play*

>>149537016
ok but are you a great father?

>>149537002
>>149537007
Eyyy. Thought he fitted better with the Magic

>>149537023
the spurs will be shit

>>149536991
NAW couldn’t hit fuck all this playoffs thoughbeit

My raptors making no moves! Haha love it! It’s like Masai is still here in spirit

>>149537051
Well they don’t have a GM

>>149536942
>waiving both Saric and Nnaji can save up to 5.5m per year
WELCOME BACK THOMAS BRYANT

>>149537053
Wait did the Raptors seriously fire their GM and not replace him right before free agency???

>>149537056
Raptors GM is bobby Webster, Masai was the president

>>149537051
>moves
Demarre Carroll and Hedo Turkoglu are the biggest FA signings in Raptors history, what fucking moves are you expecting? You got Ingram, be grateful

>>149537023
The amount of players choosing to go this godforsaken Twxas this window is through the roof. Why the fuck would they want to live in a desert?

>>149537055
I do wonder if they have anything else cooking. They can buy out saric and have like 15m so they could git another valuable role player. Not to mention daron holmes should be joining the squad finally as c

>>149537067
KD, Wemby and Coop are going to make Texas attractive for a long time in a way bitch ass Luka and lame ass Tim Duncan never could

Luka won't leave the Lakers. He loves that loyalty gimmick too much.

>>149537083
At this point, Lukastans best hope is that the new Dodgers ownership actually know what they are doing to build a team around him.

>>149537083
Love Lune.

>>149537083
Every loyal star underperforms in their career. Only stars who should be loyal are Booker level bums who might get a statue and no ring

>>149537097
It doesn't matter how competent they are they can't spend their way out of the mess LeGM and Jeanie have left

by the end of the year Luka will see those California taxes and be gone my guess he ends up on the heat

Why do the raptors have fans?

>>149537103
True and Booker seems to accept that. He's about to sign a 2-Year/$150 Million extension. When you stay with the team that drafted you, ring or no ring the fans will love you the same. Luka's situation is different. Lakers fans won't love him like that if he doesn't win.

What if denver does nothing else? They are under the tax.
Westbrick + MPJ for Cam + Bruce is good but it's still a thin razor squad.

>>149537103
>MJ
>Bird
>Magic
>Kobe

>>149537120
They'll probably see how Da'aron performs in the season before making any more moves

>>149537120
No backup 5 is an issue

>>149537120
Brick, a pick and MPJ for much worse players is pretty bad unless you’re an NBA executive trying to get under the cap

>>149537125
You can't rely on a rookie with a torn achilles that booth drafted lol

>>149537125
Daron is more of AG backup especially if they want to kick Saric. Need another big

>>149537103
Blud hasn’t heard of Curry, Duncan and Dirk

With Booth gone, no way Nuggets are clearing this cap to get no one

>>149537120
They won with a razor thin squad as well in 2023 but it took a lot for them to finally get there after injuries every previous years.

>>149537146
23 playoffs murray was a god too. He hasn't shown that lately

>>149537097
The New Owners don't mean anything NBA has hard caps since the Kevin Durant bullshit fiasco,

NBA isn't like baseball with the no limit spending etc,

BUT, what the new owners can do is hire new coaching staff and with enough attempt to "steal" Sam Presti or some of his staff from OKC with a 100 million paycheck and/or they can do is train and scout new rookies and train the rookies/players the Lakers have right now to defend and shoot the ball etc, because the issue with the Lakers is they never developed talent fully they only take established stars,

The reason on why OKC's win is monumental is most of the talent is developed/drafted and home grown, many are young rookies who developed into full fledged players in a few years, Jdub was drafted just a 2 years ago and now dropped 40 pts in a final, Wallace is Jrue Holiday lite in defense and can only get better etc so expect many teams to start doing that more often

Kai/Klay/Flagg/AD/Lively with Dlo/Christie/Naji/PJ/Gafford is way better than what the Lakers have even if you just flip the vets for assets

Mavericks can build a way better team around Cooper than the Lakers could possibly build with Luka, let Nico cook

her raptors

Who’s getting Emoni Bates?

so thats it? everyone's already out of cap space?

>>149537627
Nets still have cap space even with MPJ but they’re probably going to be retards and extend Scam (like Cam) Thomas

>>149537762
LeBron and the Lakers front office were both transparent he had no input in the coaching decision/hire. LeBron hasn’t missed the playoffs in LA since his second best player was sophomore Brandon Ingram

Meanwhile you call Jordan the GOAT and what was he doing at this age?

Does michael jordan haunt your nightmares anon

>>149537895
I can see you’re having a hard time coping with LeBron’s superiority. Oh, and in case you were wondering Jordan at 40 was missing the playoffs and losing unceremoniously just like any other time he didn’t have Scottie to do all the heavy lifting

I'm sorry, why are Bronsexuals upset again?

Where will my boy Johnny Juzang go? 9ppg for a bench player seems decent

>>149538001
>I'm sorry, why are Bronsexuals upset again?
Lelbron neutered the Lakers ability to make signings and apparently he wants out but no ones touching that contract for a 40 yo.
Bronsexuals are chimping out that he 'deserves' it

are we finally done pretending LeBron can play 1-5?

The Lakers haven'y even commented on LeBum's player opt in yet. My guess is there's still a chance they trade his ass to an EC team.

>hyuck hyuck hyuck well y’all said he could play 1-5 xD
learn ball

>>149538238
define "fighting chance" because getting dominated by Gobert in a game 5 elimination matchup in round 1 doesn't scream NBA caliber center to me.

>>149538072
He got stuck on the Wolves bench behind Naz Reid
Here are his college numbers

>>149538072
lower tier mid

>>149538324
His careers is about to take off.
He was getting about 5 minutes a game.
Not enough to show what he can do.

>>149538347
no it is not, miny fan here. luka can score from anywhere, he could not do so in the chances he got when gobert was hurt last year. worse than that his defense is awful, like very bad, could not rebound last year

>>149538136

Audible kek

Lakeshow status?

>>149538072
Can score in lots of ways, certified garbage time buckets getter
Really slow defensively, have no chance against speedy guards or wings
He could be a star in Euroleague, but a third Center in a contender is really his ceiling in the NBA

Deandre Jordan you are Lakers

>>149538477
Can any Jordan fan explain this one to me? I thought he was the GOAT?

going from 1 contender to the next forming superteams just because he cant win another one without bron

>with AD
traded because his bum ass cant get healthy for the playoffs. He cant win another one without LeKING

Next... fucking lol retard

It’s true. LeBron won everywhere with anyone, usually players who never so much as made it to the playoffs prior to his intervention (K Love, Bosh, Kyrie, Caruso). He really can win with anyone and elevates the games of otherwise pedestrian players with his versatile playmaking and defense

Jordan lost in the first round every year and had a record of 1-9 without Pippen, they had to refball an elderly Pippen in Game 7 in the WCF against prime Shaq to protect Jordan’s embarrassing legacy

>>149538982
Lebron is already trying to find a way to a new contender to get another easy ring even if "ring culture" is apparently stupid to him, lol
He will forever be the biggest clown of this league.

>all these jordumb fans saying Pippen was a bum just to inflate Jordumb bum ass.
Jordumb couldn't carry a team to win without a top 75 player. Meanwhile GOATbron won that 2016 finals without any top 75 player at the same time defeating the greatest team 73-9 of all time

"That right there made me the GOAT" - LeKing James

>>149538999
>"get another easy ring"

yet he is the main man and the LeFinals MVP of all his chips. You can argue he with all these bunch of "all stars" like dwight and rondo but dummy these players are roleplayers in 2020 they lucky GOATBron gave them a ring to add some hardware on their pathetic careers.

Remember in 2015 when New york literally gave bum ass JR Smith for peanuts to the Cavs because he a clown? Then the next year he motivated that nigga to work his ass out and helped with get a fucking ring. Get your ass out of this jordumb clown lol

>>149538998
>Jordan lost in the first round every year and had a record of 1-9 without Pippen

Damn pathetic Jor1-9dan. Nothing without his "robin". Imagine if Shaq didn't win in 2006. Nor if Kobr didnt win in 2009 and 2010. That's Jordumb for you. He a busrider.

>they had to refball an elderly Pippen in Game 7 in the WCF against prime Shaq to protect Jordan’s embarrassing legacy

I remember that shit like it was yesterday Pippen got mad going back into the locker room. Fuck stern a total Jordumb kike

>>149539024
>yet he is the main man and the LeFinals MVP of all his chips
Same with Jordan, except it's 6 NBA titles and 6 FMVP in 6 Finals appearances, meaning he is undefeated in the finals.
Lebron will NEVER reach Jordan, it's over, lmao

>>149539077
>muh rings
So I guess Jordan won’t ever reach Bill neither?

>>149539077
>main man on a team full of all stars

Fucking over lmao
It's like KD on the warriors of course everyone will expect you to win every year if you have all the stars like team USA.

Prime Ron Harper is on the level of Kyrie yet Jordumbs ballhog made him a roleplayer.
Stop deflating Jordumbs stats and accomplishments just to elevate Jordumbs greatness cause he isn't. Dude cannot evn drive to the left lmao

>>149539119
Here's kyrie's stats for comparison.

Fucking almost the same lol but Jordumb fans:
Ron Harper - he bum good thing Jordumb took him under his wing to join the Bulls or else he always pathetic player

Kyrie - he's the best point guard in the east lucky for GOATbron to have him he won't win without the Kyrie shot and I ignore the fact that Jordumb needed Steve kerr (highest 3P% of all time) to hit that shot and Paxson
fucking kek

>>149539113
yes agreed and they forget this lmao

>>149536859 (OP)
>flip spergout
Nah

bet you guys miss sparky now huh?

>basketball players need a supporting cast to win in a team sport

For the record GOATBron is still playing so I know deep inside your hearts you're all mad and envy as hell the GOAT still has a shot on winning his 5th hell even 6th or 7th. Stay mad LeHATERS lmao

Something is terribly wrong in our society.

>>149539445
Lmao OKC is fucked. Imagine paying 40% of your cap to a single player who had one good season

>>149539705
i've been learning more about salary cap, luxury tax etc so correct me if i'm wrong
with DFS leaving it means they have 176m total salary, but since it's already above salary cap means they can only offer him NTMLE. isn't that right?

cant wait for the nba to change the foul rules and for sga to become caris levert kek

Westjehovah unfollowed the nuggets on instagram….. it’s over for the nuggets

>>149539888
The moment they crack down on his bullshit, he’s out of the league. What the fuck else does he even do? Get absolutely cooked on defense and go 2-27 on offense?

>>149539861
They can only offer him 8 million, since they already gave 6 to LaRavia. Bucks might outbid them, which is scary. It's all up to Ayton.

>>149539901
his only other move is that midrange bump fadeaway meta, that should get patched too

>>149539905
oh so the 14m must be shared among other signings under NTMLE scheme. well that means Nuggets have equal chance with Bucks to sign him since they haven't used their NTMLE at all.

just want my nigga giddey to get paid. He'll be able to afford all the cunny he wants

>>149539905
>>149539968
No chance Ayton goes to the Nuggets. You'd think it'd be wisest to go to the Lakers and rebuild your value, but Ayton probably isn't wise

>>149540046
well dude got no heart maybe he wants to take the coward way.

Im a gay nigger faggot and no one wants me

>>149540046
If he wants to rebuild his value he goes to play with Jokic. The only thing that happens on the lakers is you get made Lebron's scapegoat when they fail and the 24 hour ESPN news cycle scrutinizes your every mistake

>>149540074
yeah, watching Ayton on the Bucks will be syphilis though

>>149540169
Jokic and Ayton can't play together. He'd average 20 and 10 with Luka as his PG.

Jaylen Brown to the Spurs would be an ideal way for them to balance their lineup.

>>149539929
lemickey getting swept by denver will be even funnier now

Lebron is getting sent to phoenix where he will retire by winning phoenixs only ring by being the point guard with devin booker.

>>149540046
>You'd think it'd be wisest to go to the Lakers and rebuild your value


HAHAHAHAHA FUCKING LOL

You think all the bronsexuals in the world wouldn't blame Ayton for another first round exit for LeFlop? The league is already infested with westbricks, schroeders, DLo Russels who all got LeBlamed for being a scrub and Le3-6ron dragging their asses to the playoffs.

With all that he still signing with the Lelkers

BUCKS GOT MYLES TURNER

>>149540183
agreed but Ayton is too *weak minded* to play with a contender especially with all the spotlight on the Lelkers.

WTFFFFF

Pacers are cooked

>>149540239
It's not Bron's team anymre. Luka will get him paid if he puts in the work
>>149540271
potentially yeah

>>149540260
If only he played hard in the finals he prolly got a ring now.

no shit haliburtons dead

Dayum, gonna move his legos

BREAKING: Free agent center Myles Turner has agreed to a four-year, $107 million deal with the Milwaukee Bucks, plus a player option for year four in 2028-29 and a full 15% trade kicker, sources tell ESPN. Stunner.

>>149539854
The average basketball player in the UK also makes £30k. wtf are you on about?
NBA players are the best in the world

>>149540284
>It's not Bron's team anymre.

Fucking hope so. Hope they trade Bron to Cavs or some shit while Bronny dgaf

knicks got yabu? damn why would sixers give him up

So how did the Bucks get him?!

>>149539854
>average basketball players
>NBA

The white mamba would want to have a 1on1 against you

>>149540305
Hahahaha fucking bum

>>149540305
fuck it's actually true

damn i have no idea about salary works i thought bucks can only offer NTMLE

>>149540332
It muat be a sign and trade, right? I'm so confused

>>149540336
Damn nuggets let mpj go for nothing. Who are they even targeting

>[Charania] Just in: The Milwaukee Bucks are waiving Damian Lillard and stretching the remaining $113 million on his contract in order to acquire Myles Turner, sources tell ESPN. Lillard's two seasons in Milwaukee come to an end as he rehabilitates a torn Achilles tendon.

>>149540337

>>149540372
oh so that's why

>>149540370
bron

>>149540372
Dame bros....

>>149540372
kek what a kwab

>>149540372
woah wtf? do they think turner and giannis is a contender kek?

>>149540372
jeez

>>149540372
?

>>149540391
These are the same people that hired Doc Rivers and Hammas

>>149540370
they got johnson and freed up space for brown? MPJ is shite

>>149540372
>top 75 player waived

Dude should have stayed with my blazies. We all knew you aren't going to win anything elsewhere. Oh wait you got that IST chip hahahaha

>>149540404
giannis must have not liked dame lol

>>149540372
Damn……probably the most surprising Shamsbomb since Luka

>>149540372
>b-b-but muh loyalty
kwab
ring chasing is the only way to go

>>149536937
>Wolves beat Nuggets all regular season
Celtics beat the Knicks all regular season

Dame is going out sad. Should have retired in Portland.

>>149539430
>70 million for just one player

What a dumbass. Now Chet and JDub will want to get paid since he got the supermax. And the funny thing is that if he got a paycut he would still be getting 50 fucking million dollars per year. So damn greedy

Remember when clippers retardedly traded SGA for Paul George and then did nothing worthwhile as a team?

>>149540406
Brown is on a vet min they didnt need to free up space for him

>>149540457
This. He can hang with Donovan Clingan and Scoot Fried. Well he got that IST chip hahahahaha

YOOOOOOOOOOO

>>149540457
Man fuck that. Niggas were crying and beggin that leave portland for a contender & now niggas tellin shoulda stayed smileface.

can't wait to see myles turnee throw up entire games worth of stinkers in the playoffs. this time in a bucks jersey :)

Bucks Front Office some sociopaths frfr

Sorry, but Giannis is fucking retarded.

>>149540487
Same literally happened with Beal in Washington, before he was trash ass nigga

>>149540485
Heatskitz, where you at?

Dame is a laker baby

>>149540506
Beal was always trash, he just looked good because nobody else on the wizards could play.

>>149540527
this

The Heat finally getting Dame.

>>149540527
Jeet doesnt remember when this was all over nba social media.

surely no player will ever play with a calf injury again after this?

>>149540372
kwab

>>149540556
Luka was smart to not want to come back after 2 weeks. Even if it got him traded.

>>149540485
with a torn achilles and slower first step?
Man he's washed

>>149539469
getting GayD only made the rockets worse

>>149540527
Beal is one of the best players ever. Youre calling him trash cause hes playing on a team that doesnt let him play his role lol

>>149540372
Damn Milwaukee cooked with that one

>>149540592
I'm calling him trash because he is severely overrated.

CHECK LEBRON JAMES INSTAGRAM HE JUST POSTED

>>149540615
I don't have insta. What book is he reading now?

KPJ
Gary Trent
Kyle Kuzma
Giannis
Myles Turner

This stinks

>>149540425
bro just tore his achilles and had blood clots in the same season at the age of 34 (he was having a bad year already)

he's not even a top 200 player anymore

>>149540372
KWAB

>>149540372
this is a great move for the bucks right?

smells like gianus is coming home to toronto

>>149540372
KWAB, should have stayed in Portland Lame. Now your a ring chasing ringless bum instead ofa ringless bum...

Giannis should request a trade now LOL. Stretching lillards contract to pay myles turner. Come to the lakers giannis

>>149540592
but he is playing his role

>>149540372
The Bucks are going to be ass for a decade after Giannis leaves/retires and they do not care. I kinda respect it.

>>149540669
No hes not, devin booker is playing his role

this contract is presti waving the white flag on the "dynasty"

you can't put a team around a player making this much money, just ask jokic and the nuggs

>>149540654
Turner replaces what Brook was doing while being in his prime and not ancient. It doesn't replace Dame's contributions and he was really underrated last season before his body exploded. Good move considering their circumstances but they'll still be bad without doing something else. The roster outside of Jannis and Tuner looks bleak.

>>149540701
the next 3 seasons will be their last chance to get more rings

Like I get it, he's 34, had blood clots in his leg and tore his achilles, and he's probably not going to be good ever again, but I'm still really sad. Wish it would have worked out.

>>149540470
is he? well then they have space for an mle player. Maybe horford.

>>149540655
I mean he does have a huge connection with Masai Uji... wait.

Teams are getting cooked by these windows.
Second window? Bruh, the window refuses to stay open for teams.

>>149540684
nah devin booker is playing his role too

>Giannis is not happy they waived Dame
LAKESHOW... you know what to do

Does this mean my Pacers are going to tank

>>149540778
Probably

>>149540710
>Turner
>in his prime
Lmao even. He's a 7 footer who can't rebound. He averaged 4 rebounds per game in the playoffs (and shot 21% from 3). I'm a lifelong Pacers fan and my attitude towards Myles has always been that he is the weak link. I don't hate him. But I won't really miss him. He will always be a part of Indy lore for being part of The Run, but we've needed a fresh start at center for a while.

As far as him going to the Bucks. Welp, good luck dude.

>>149540713
jalen williams is an RFA next year so unless he's willing to take a paycut (he's not, SGA wasn't so why should he) the thunder will have to max whatever giant contract he gets offered

same deal with chet

at that point they're spending all their money on three players (unless they choose to lose chet, which they should) and they can't afford any of the role players that completed the team like caruso or dort

they can go back to back next year and that's it

>>149540336
well then thomas bryant welcome back to denver nuggets

Pacers really told myles turner fuck outta here kwab

25m/y don't seem that bad for Turner, if you don't want to pay the tax trade Toppin or McConnell, Well we see how it goes

LMFAO fagdiana fagcers windows closed

>>149540799
yeah 3 is like the maximum i give it to em, could be less. but friendly reminder that SGA's massive extension is only activated 3 more seasons. they can still keep most of the core by then.

I hate that we have to wait for the trade deadline for this.

Klutch mafia made the bucks waive lillard. The plans all coming together….

>>149540829
Why is LeBum there?

imagine if giannis leaves and turner is stuck there with kevin porter jr and taurean prince

>>149540814
They offered him 60 million for 3 years. A very generous offer.

this is like the most mid offseason ever literally every breaking news is some mid roleplayer signing deals and being passed around teams that will make no difference to a team's championship trajectory except for whatever Rockets have done so far :)

>>149540778
Hali is out all next season. We're like a 6 seed at best without him. This move is to make sure we can have a team for Hali to come back to. At the end of the day, we will always have The Run.

>>149540854
Don't forget gary trent Jr bitch

>>149540858
20 mil is his fair value but it’s a huge lowball obviously

>>149540884
So many mickey wins bro linsanity run is over

When are my bum ass Raptors resigning Boucher?

>>149540898
ya still seething?

>>149540896
>>/a/280149892
go back to kanokari thread

bucks now have to build a contending team with a salary $20 million lower than everyone else's, for the rest of giannis' prime

>>149540919
no u

>>149540921
NBA should let teams trade dead money into cap space.

Cavs being a 2nd apron team makes them too hard for them to take LeOld. Where else can we ship unc to?

>>149540884
Sadly I don't think Hali is going to come back the same player

>>149540888
With how close the Finals series was, imagine if Pacers had a center who could grab at least 7 or 8 boards per game.

>>149540927
all these financial rules are getting too jewish for my liking

>>149540921
who else do the Bucks still have on their team? Kuzma? Bobby Portis?

>>149540942
yeah. Their guards are KPJ and Gary Trent Jr. It's a horrid team

>>149540917
About you losing the finals?

>>149540938
>With how close the Finals series was
if OKC didn't choke game 1, the series would've ended in 5 games and Haliburton wouldn't have got hurt. You can blame OKC for everything.

>>149540927
Why would any team trade for dead money though? Some cheap team trying to meet the salary floor?

>The Sacramento Kings are trading Jonas Valanciunas to the Denver Nuggets for Dario Saric, sources tell ESPN.
HOLY SHIT

>[Charania] The Sacramento Kings are trading Jonas Valanciunas to the Denver Nuggets for Dario Saric, sources tell ESPN.
https://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1940077515974029420

>>149540898
It would have been one of the greatest rings ever if they won. OKC got the mickey ring.

>>149540971
the nuggets are serious wtf

The idea of Myles Turner is better than the reality. This does not move the needle for the Bucks and they will be trash.

>>149540883
my rockets :)

>>149540959
Team A trades $20 million in dead money plus future first round pick to Team B, etc. Happens all the time except dead money is usually an actual player.

JOKIC 2ND RING LOADING BEBIIIIIIIIIIIIII

>>149540984
booth was a terrorist confirmed

WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON WE WON

>>149540954
We are resigning dairy bird trust

Jonas a Raptors legend about to become Denver starting center.

>>149540991
yep
>>149541003
this bucks roster is going to be so grim. Are they planning a big trade? I know that they have some draft capital

>>149540883
Update: and also whatever Nuggets have done so far. A+ to both of them for being serious organizations :)

>>149536882
mickey mouse ring that literally nobody takes seriously, getting his shitty kid drafted, and getting pushed out as soon as they brought in someone younger and better

>>149540971
Wtf kind of trade is this for sac. This is a F- trade LOL

Adam Silver paid Booth to hold back Jokic during his prime

>>149540958
>if OKC didn't choke game 1
>if

>>149541024
sacramento are paid by adam silver to be the team that gets fleeced in all of the trades which they orchestrate from the top down

Niggas thinking Jonas Valanciunas moves the needle

>unironically taking Saric in 2025
i believe in this new FO, time to oflload Zeke for any guard

Calvin Booth is going to a pit of hell we don't even know of

>>149540957
About your team getting beat by them.

say something nice about him

>>149541042
Sabonis dialing suicide hot-line as we speak

>>149541043
he does nigga. They were playing DeAndre Jordan against okc

Neva eva speak to me again of LeBron or KD going to other franchises lol. Dame was the poster boy for loyalty and he got kiked anyway. When will yall realise no point being a good little goy in this league. Kike franchises dont care bout players. Any player that manages to ho the system is a boss. Never take paycuts either lmao jews really convinced Brunson to take less of their money just for him to get bitched anyway

>>149541058
they'll probably trade him for two seconds and Gary Payton II or something

someone save sabonis and lavine

>>149540884
Halinsanity is over. See you in another 25 years.

>>149540372
AND NEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW KWABOTYYYYYYYYYY

>>149541043
Hes a perfect guy to play when the other team rests their starting center

>>149541055
he has nice eyes for wog
>>149541081
>lavine
that's who sabonis needs to be saved from kek

so maybe russ should re-sign i think unless OKC calls him which is unlikely

>>149541081
lakers will take sabonis for jaxson hayes and heat legend gabe vincent

>>149541083
you think another team isnt going to pick up lillard? lol and bucks still have to pay him. lillard is going to a better team

>>149541103
heard they're interested in brogdon.

>>149540701
>just ask jokic and the nuggs
They did pay enough money for 2 other stars, just to the role players instead.

>>149541122
he's still contracted right?

i think league is rigging it for us there is no way these moves are organic and that someone agreed on them

Calvin Booth needs to be banned from the NBA.

>>149541058
He's coming back home

>>149541003
So we're just getting a point guard by committee. Man AJ Green better go on a quantum leap.
>>149541131
UFA according to a quick Google search

>>149541103
is he allowed to re sign again with a vet min? nuggs can still get one other guy along with him.

>>149541131
I think he's a free agent

Weapskitz you got your man

>>149541156
ah yeah my source was chatGPT LMAO

>>149541154
i mean we haven't heard him telling no but his contract has always been player option for his 2nd year

who the hell is the Nuggets GM? Dude is pulling a masterclass HOLY SHIT

>>149541180
adam silver

Within 24 hours the Nuggets went from +1700 to 2nd highest odds

>>149541180
this the guy

>>149541145
it's called compensation for booth literally torpedoing jokic's prime and team. was an easy dynasty. it was the most obvious dynasty since the bulls. they lost four games.

>>149541178
westbrook opted out

>>149541154
yeah. by opting out he can get more on a vet minimum again. that's the point of a player option

>>149541055
so what can he do now that he's pretty much blacklisted on doing any NBA-related work?

>>149541054
Retard

>>149541145
Kroenke probably has evidence of Booth being the sleeper agents like Nico Harrison and use it to blackmail the NBA.

Can someone tell me whats Garry Harris salary? This is a great mistake for the bucks anyway

Look it up yourself bro. What the hell kek

>>149541219
For context, Giannis is fucking Haynes cousin.

>>149541225
he's from the uae, he's used to simple tasks being down for him

Only because everyone makes the hof. Do Pacers fans unironically think Haliburton is a superstar?

this was sent just 25 minutes before Shams

yes. that's the point of a player option

>>149541219
Hey Giannis. If you can't beat em, join em.
Welcome to Indiana, Giannis

>>149541225
this is why no one likes greeks

>>149541173
How many times did perennial all-star guard Reggie Miller make the NBA finals again.

>>149541252
I'd be pissed too if a basketball star was making a starting 5 with my cousin ngl

I want you to put the word out there that we back up

>>149541284
That fit does go ridiculously hard,

this is decent enough if they're just done with it but this current FO will definitely try to get a better backup for Jamal

you are here. what team is lebron forcing his way into.

>>149541307
I think the starting 5 will be Jokic, Gordon, Murray, Brown, & Braun

>>149541307
holmes pf, strawther sg, watson sf/pf, they need a pg and another shooter ideally

>>149541324
no way, johnson is better than braun and brown

Lunch time

My Nets drafted 5 passers and the only shooters on the team are Cam Thomas and MPJ now. My Nets about to be playing Rec Mode on 2K for the 3rd straight season lol. On the plus side Cam Thomas about to break Wilt record with them 40 FGA a night.
NetsWrld socials saying its a “DO THAT NIGGA CUH!!!” ass offence.

>>149541337
johnson is a ball hog chucker. he needs to be benched

>>149541325
they're getting russ and duncan robinson

>>149541272
Reggie Miller averaged 18 points, 3 assists per game.
Hali averagea 18 points, 9 assists.
They're not even comparable aside from Reggie having some clutch game winners over the years. But even then, Haliburton had more clutch game winning shots in these playoffs than Miller had in his entire career

i wonder if the nuggets tried to sign gary harris, apparently he signed the vet minimum with the bucks

would be a nice lil reunion

>>149538035
>Deandre Ayton
He's too busy simping for pornstars to be real center anon. That nigga has colored nails, he is washed

Jonas is just a mid starter on a play in team at best, but considering Saric was washed and unplayable, and Deandre Jordan is ancient; having him on the bench is a big upgrade.
Seems like the clear best in the west are Thunder, Rockets, Nuggets.

Are the kings tanking? Because Lavine, Derozan, Monk, Keegan Murray, and some others would definitely help some teams.

>>149541347
i hate russ, but that would be great given their cap space

>>149541324
Life must be easy & fun when you are retarted

At least the Bucks are good enough for Giannis to have a 2018 LeBron run to the finals

>>149541347
duncis going to be open for over half of the game. hes going to rain 10 3's a game.

gotta take your hat off to the Knicks they completely changed their mentality

no more starters ruining themselves averaging 40 min ppg

i still think westbrook signing there gonna be a disaster tho

>>149541340
>pepperoni
Are you a child?

>>149540220
Lechud shames isn't even Kobe level, what makes bronsexuals think he's the goat?

nuggets need to get rid of Murray and they win the west.

>>149541403
The Knicks are going all in on offense it seems. Can’t tell if it’s a good thing.

did giannis condemn israel or something
why is this happening to the bucks?

They really took dame to the backyard and shot him.

>>149541414
Kobe is an overrated sociopath rapist . No serious person has him in their top 5

>>149541219
Haynes did this shit yesterday and used AI to make a DALIEAS jersey for D'lo. Don't know if I trust him anymore.
Man I miss Woj.

>>149541414
did lebron miss the playoffs and get knocked out the first round 3 years in a row in his prime?

>>149541081
Lavine would look great in celtics uniform, its too bad he can't play defence

Speaking of Indy, the Fever are playing the Lynx in the Commissioner Cup Finals tonight. CC is a game time decision. But /our girl/ Sophie is confirmed playing.

>>149541427
Waive Time

Bucks are Boston with even less aura.

>>149541443
man that was embarrassing lmao

Lakers finna trade for Kessler today

Funny thing this roster will still win like 25 games and get cucked into a 7 or 8 pick again.
Literally why cant we just fully commit to being dogshit and run them 5 dogshit ahh israeli rookies

>>149541082
That man is a basketball militant anon, call him the Haliban

>>149541459
surely they're going for ayton instead

>>149541189
If Silver actually wanted the Nuggets to win he could just have the refs call the 20 fouls per game Jokic doesn't get

>>149541466
We gon get boaf!

>>149541444
Lebron played in the Leastern conference so no

>>149541443
Haynes is just a mouthpiece for Lilard and/or Giannis. Giannis is just using it to save face LeBron style. He probably told Lillard
>Damn man I can’t believe they did this to you sad emoji sad emoji
Even though he’s happy with the moves, and Giannis consulted Haynes to make it seem like he had no say in what happened to Lilard, when the FO definitely talked to him

KDAWG...

>>149541463
the nets always put fun rosters to watch i love them

>>149541453
and fewer role players
>>149541478
hope not lol, they need a wing

>>149541350
So PG had more assists and the same points despite playing in a higher scoring era with less defense. Getting a game winner in todays defenseles league isn't that impressive.

CP3 come get your ring with the nuggets

Jokes aside: who else should/could they get next to Ayton?

>>149541488
Checked and literally this.

>>149541475
new script

>>149541492
Wiggins for a bunch of expireable bums

>>149541346

>>149541475
GOAT jewish baddie. With all due respect natalie portman aint on this level

Respect chris paul

>>149541500
Whatever they were gonna use to trade for a center, the Lakers should sign Ayton, then use that stuff to trade for a wing. Haynes is actually decent enough to be a backup.

>>149541466
It would be pretty funny if literally no one signed Ayton and he was forced into retirement at 26.

>woke up
>lakeshit still don't have a starting center
>laughed
>slept again

JokGM > LeGM

>>149541516
which is why johnson isnt starting

Thanos and Giannis starting vs Bron Bron

im legit upset the warriors couldnt get a real nigga like Watford or Yabusele.

tired of being a team of guards and draymond

>>149541488
I'm old enough to remember Giannis being pissed Jason Kidd got fired back in 2018. Dude gets easily attached.

MY KNICKS FINNA GET GAINNIS AND THERE AINT SHIT YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT

>Pels trade away next years 1st round pick with no protections
>Also have Milwaukee's FRP next year from the Jrue Holiday trade years ago
>Atlanta gets the best of whatever pick is higher

Cannot believe this fucking shit, Milwaukee is imploding and is going to be trash next year, and the Pelicans are probably going to be trash too, that could have been 2 lottery picks next year FUCK.

>>149541496
>despite playing in a higher scoring era with less defense.
This isn't the AOH comment section, Boomer. The game is more complex now. It's not just slow Boomers posting up at the half court line anymore. The defense is much higher level now.
https://youtu.be/fp4but75EjY

>>149541536
Not really. You can say that when Jokic has at least 3 rings.

>>149541321

At least you have nothing to hope for so it makes it easier. Pelicans are the Pelicans, you shouldn’t expect success.

Lediddy rapes is a hollywood pedophile, no serious person has them in their top 10

My condolences, bro. The NBA needs to take over and save the team from itself (again).

>>149541552
You got Jordan Poole though

FUCK YOU MOREY

DARYL MOREY IS A LIAR

Luka buddy, pack your bags, it's time to move to Denver. We're creating a dynasty.

>>149541561
Docs plan

>>149541595
is he better than yabusele for $12/2y

Is that around the same time Lebron played for the first time against a western team and got swept?

Reminder that only 2 teams have been swept in the Finals this century and they were both Lebron lead teams coming from the East

76ers and raptors fans need to kill themselves

Damian Lillard getting Bonilla’d on Bobby Bonilla day. Kind of interesting

Whats stopping Chris Paul and Westbrook to ring chase in Denver now. They still got some space and they can cut cunts like Hunter Tyson and Zeke.

Slovenians and Serbs can not work together. There will be a locker room shooting by the second week.

If the Pelicans had half a brain they would have traded Zion for literally whatever they could get while there were still a couple suckers out there infatuated with his "potential." Instead they just gave him a shitload of guaranteed money and hoped that the frail, lazy dumbass who's been completely unreliable every second of his existence suddenly become the exact opposite of what he'd been all along. They threw themselves off this cliff willingly. The franchise is suicidal and should probably just be sold, moved and rebranded

Shai actually did end up taking a cut by not signing this super max extension next year.

>>149540701
Presti is a retarded faggot, and not a genius at all....

Shouldn't be paying this foul baiting merchant that much money, literally killed a dynasty idk what to say atp,

SGA should've taken the cut, like Jdubs will want the max as well, unless they trade Jdubs to Spurs to get Harper, Bryant and other role players cause Jdubs value would be high if they win another chip cause teams will see Jdub as a chubbier clone of Shai

>>149541667
Still retarded, people keep saying "muh mvp he deserves the bag" im like well, good luck with any cap space

>>149537204
Could they hire guys like Patrick Ewing to develop their bigs? The center spot is a huge weakness on the lakers

>>149539024
maybe but the real question is, "can he stop jason terry ?"
