LaRavia was a nice pickup. If they can get ayton they have the big men they need. Team is solid. And they got Punished Luka so anything is possible

Exactly. You have to be as desperate as Jimmy to play for Kerr.

>>149549324
What keeps kerr going? He's not the next Phil Jackson even though he was on his staff. He was a guard when he played and all he focuses is on the guards for his schemes, what a rube

>>149549440
a very high salary

Still can’t believe the Nuggets not only got off the hook for MPJ but got a significant upgrade at the same time

>>149549468
idk about significant but mpj had too many moments where he folded and he was always hurt and why pay that bloated salary. people act like it matters cam johnson is older these niggas are role players not 2025 lottery picks

>>149549520
Johnson literally has the same stat line as MPJ while being a better defender and not having Jokic.
It’s a massive upgrade lol

it's over

>>149550639
theres only one serious player on the cavs and thats mobley and that nigga cannot beat jokic. also knicks have nobody who can guard jokic.

>>149550718
dont they have PJ Tucker?

None of these changes move the needle

>>149550718
That nigga beat Jokic twice last season
>also knicks have nobody who can guard jokic.
They've got KAT, who's BTFO of him in the playoffs, and also swept him last regular season

okay why can't other teams sign vet min as well as Nuggets?

>>149550750
Nuggets changes genuinely move the needle
>>149550764
because fat asses like Morey too busy eating donuts and cookies

>>149545348
I hope he does it. Then LeBron can sign a vet minimum in Cleveland.

>>149550440
oh fuck you

>>149545348
better would be trading him for a 2nd round pick

talk about depressing

Why would the Bucks rather have five years of dead cap and Turner than Lillard?

>>149550816
The east is looking almost Lebron-tier weak right now

Hilarious how no one whatsoever is talking about the warriors. Just goes to show how fake this franchise is. Its a poverty franchise that got lucky one time in 2009.
Would be funny though if this ends up another 2022 situation where again nobody cared about the warriors, and nobody expected them to win it all.

>>149550907
Be honest, how much of this is Curry’s fault for demanding Draymond and Kerr stay. This generation has proven that players are totally unequipped to make roster decisions.

>>149550951

true :p

Why is Lillard running from the grind again?

>>149550907
The warriors are fucked because all of their money is spent on 3 players. Draymond is being overpaid should never have gotten a contract that big

>>149551411
yeah warriors are like the retard poor family that wins the lottery and just spends it on the dumbest shit.

genuinely cannot believe shai's contract extension though, curry never got even close to that after his first championship with only 1 less regular season win.

i honestly thought curry now was even being paid too much, but now im not so sure idk

>>149553736
well for years the bucks have had a more promising roster than right now. but you're not wrong, if milwaukee is willing to spend the money, bucks can get ahead of teams like Miami and LA. I don't like the Turner signing though, didn't think he was worth more than $25M/y

one thing that nuggKEKS are fprgetting about their pitiful team, is the fact that AG will losr his WesBRICK simp buff next seaso n because brodie ain't coming back to denver, nor does the FO want him

also, no DeAndre = bad vibes

Injured teams

Honestly the only team that wasn't fraud were the Jimmy Heat. They beat good teams without their superstars Injured and often times Injured themselves. They came 2nd place only because they were injured themselves. Easily the most respected team of the 2020s. The only thing that makes them less than the supposed champs is they didn't get lucky enough to face injured competition.

bad take: They were one of the best teams in the league record wise and in O/D ratings before his injury. His return hurt them because they had to change the way they played without him, chemistry was effected, and then Wagner got hurt. Team gonna be nutty next year.

Knicks 76ers in the conference finals next year

>>149559080
Didn’t he shoot 20% from three last year prior to getting injured? Maybe when he cracks 55%TS we can revisit the conversation but he’s not even the best player on his team

>>149559017
>Magic fan talking about kissing rings
Kek. My team has more rings this century than the amount of times your franchise has made the conference fjnals

The Sixers

>>149559050
>>149559057
Paolo is just high usage trash, Wagner is a good second option for another squad and Bane is a role player. If the Leastern conference wasn't so anemic they would be a lottery team.

Lillard is done. Cooked. Washed. He's gonna be gone all next season and then coming back he'll be out of shape, old, hesitant. He's gonna look like a total bum. So thats $55m a year for the next 2 seasons. If the Bucks kept him, Giannis would be gone in 2 years, for sure. They had to make their team better. Having to waste $22m a season in 3-5 yrs isnt going to seem like a huge deal when the salary cap rises up to 170-200m a season.

Pacers meanwhile, what a bunch of cheap bums. 3 yr 60m for Turner is insulting. Now they lose a great asset because they dont want to pay tax. They could've at least offered the same contract as the Bucks and then traded him later to a center-depserate team.

>>149559475

McConnell and Ben Simmons at PG is ugly

>The CBA (this one and others back to the 90s) calls for players and owners to split "basketball related income" (BRI) at a specified rate - 51% goes to players, the rest to ownership. To make this work, players don't actually get their full salaries during the season - a chunk is left in an escrow fund, and then distributed to the players after BRI is determined. When BRI is lower than expected, salaries take a hit (after the fact) - this year, it was quite a bit lower, and players will be losing out on almost 10% of their salaries by not "retaining" the money they left in the escrow fund.

>Overall revenue likely came in light due to some combination of the choppy local media environment and multiple small-market teams among the last ones standing in the playoffs, which dented postseason gate receipts.

Ah ha. I see silvers grand plan of trying to prop up OKC. Keep revenue lower with lesser ratings now that the TV deal is locked up for 10 years to slow down contract spending. We're already seeing it. You're either a max player or at best an MLE. More likely vet min.

>>149560023
honestly, i'd take that

Shit like this makes me think about
former (recently deceased) NBA player Junior Bridgeman's remarkable financial success offers a stark contrast to the multitude of professional athletes who've experienced "financial difficulties."
Bridgeman played in the NBA from 1975-1987, he was a solid NBA player but never made an All-Star team.
In Bridgeman's 12 year career he made about $2.95 million, never earning more than $350,000 in a season.
"After his basketball career, he built a fast-food empire that, at its peak, totaled more than 450 restaurants nationwide. He became a Coca-Cola bottling distributor with territory across three states and into Canada. He bought Ebony and Jet magazines. His estimated net worth soared to nearly $600 million..."
Unlike NBA stars like Jordan, Magic and Lebron, Bridgeman's "...post-NBA fortune came without rich endorsement deals or the ability to cash in on global fame."

I despise Joe Cronin more than I could despise anyone.

Tatum will retire with zero real rings as he will be immeasurably more washed than ever without people carrying him. But Joe Cronin allowed his pathetic fans to pretend Gaytum accomplished something.

>>149560511
He’s made $66mil in his career already, how is it even possible to go broke while making no less than a million a year since he was a teen?

>>149560622
>Beasley was sued in April by Hazan Sports Management Group Inc., a boutique New York-based agency. The firm accused Beasley of failing to repay $650,000 in cash that was given to him as an advance against future marketing revenue from his name, image and likeness, according to a federal complaint obtained by The News.
These kinds of companies exist for all kinds of high net worth clients, even well educated ones. There was a big case in CA a few years ago against a well known lawyer (Tom Girardi). He owed a lot of money to companies that specialized in high interest bridge loans for law firms. He would take them out against future judgments (he won a lot of 9 figure class action lawsuits), and then never paid his clients the money they were owed. He got convicted of fraud and embezzlement this year.

>>149560622
its not that hard to spend a lot of money

>>149560713
What a fucking idiot

Idg how these nba players are so financially illiterate. Just buy bonds, stocks, crypto, real estate anything. Unless im throwikg the money out of the window i have no idea how im gonna spend 60 million dollars. 60 fucking million? Even if you take taxes away. 30 million is an insane amount. Put that shit at a safe 5% annual return, not even a good return, and thats over a million. Wtf

Let’s not forget the time he went to jail for 120 days because he went outside and pointed a gun at some people who had happened to park in front of his house.

But now I’m wondering if he thought they were coming to collect when he decided to do that.

>>149560729
Reebok and his agents did iverson a big favor locking his money away until later

Honestly i think i could retire with a comfy 3 million. Im not into luxury (im so special) and id get lonely in a big house so id probably live off dividends and whatever.

>>149560813
Anyone could, Malik has to be retarded

>>149560735
You can easily spend most of it buying a crazy house or 2 and then get underwater with other retarded spending habits. Wouldn't happen to me since I'm not retarded, but I can see how to blow through the money quick.

I probably wouldn't even buy a house until I retired and would just rent close to the practice facility. I'm definitely getting a clothing deal from the local brands so I don't have to pay for my latest gameday/instagram fit (lmao at that story of Jarred Vanderbilt returning his fit after a game). My car would be modest since I would be spooked about people fucking with it. And then I'm just saving as much as possible since my only hobbies are ball and shitposting.

Monty would fuck up an all star game if given the chance

>>149562061
Not even Sharpe believes in Sharpe, you’re not contending with Michael Porter Jr as your first or second option and all rookies and projects in the depth chart

You niggas see this shit? Bro so broke a dentist starting collecting Beasleys paycheck in February.

>>149562095
JB Bickerstiff isn’t some great coach either and Williams has taken his team to a Finals at least, you’re not winning shit with guys like Killian Hayes getting minutes

>>149561684
Cam Thomas get extended a 6 mil qualifying offer and no team wants him or can afford more if they did. Honestly, 6 mil a year is too much for that G-Leaguer

>>149562116
right this makes no sense the league has a health plan
he must of got a diamond crusted grill or some shit

I think it is cool for a team to draft 5 1st rounders at once, but why did they take a bunch of busts? I wonder what an optimal draft with those picks look like? Would it have been possible to draft all your depth for the future right there?

>>149562116
Cairo Cuts

>>149562199
calling out players busts in july bravo anon

robert williams III would be a godly asset if he was healthy. excellent defense and rebounding on 13 million a year. any team would gain so much from him

>>149562222
Out here WE WUZing like a mfer

>Dinwiddie to charlotte

They do know there's other kind of players besides PGs right?

>>149562199
theres no explanation other than the league making them draft these jews as punishment for Kyrie, as stated by someone else yesterday

why wouldnt they package Cam & those picks to move up and get Ace or VJ?

>>149562199
it's so unusual i love it, and you know jordi fernandez is probably going to get them to the eastern playin

>>149562222
so they sued him for not making the playoffs...?
KWAB

>>149562199
I think it’s pretty clear they traded for the 5th first rounder so they could move up, and wound up having to take 5 bust. I genuinely believe they had to take the two Jews because of Kyrie
My Jewish friend at work who is a Knicks fan was excited and said fuck Kyrie

>>149562222
Jesus

>People think Brown is gonna improve the Knicks offense
>They don't have Curry, Klay or a playmaker like Draymond

>>149560340
It's /mlb/fags that post in both gens

>>149562282
Which Cam? And I can't imagine any of the teams taking that deal no matter what Cam is it.

delusional to think cp3 is a good backup on a contender?

>>149561718
your MVP/WCFMVP/FMVP

>>149562348
I doubt it's 100% of his contracts

>>149562348
you just know players agents be steering these idiots to these firms
>hand rubbing intensifies

>>149562371
the 1 they traded for mpj - cam johnson
we didnt need that bum with that ridiculous contract (mpj) its like Silver made that trade it makes zero sense

>>149562199
>I wonder what an optimal draft with those picks look like?
I'm not even totally against their first 3 picks. Just replacing the 2 jews with actual prospects like Niederhauser and Hugo González who came right after them would have been a big come up.

>>149562247
Unfortunately Celtics destroyed his knees and he'll never be the same.

>>149544926
Let him get jacked as much as he wants as long as it doesn't slow down his fast breaks

the pelicans have two incredible wings in herb jones and murphy. i wonder if any of them is up for sale.

>>149562530
Looks about the same as his rookie year.

>>149562354
why would they need curry or klay?

>>149562463
One more pick to draft another Jew is all the Nets needed to hear for the trade to happen

>>149562555
>trips of truth

>>149562376
and scoring leader...

>>149562551
Pelicans should get rid of everyone but them and Missi but I doubt anyone wants Poole or Murray.

>Malik Beasley thrived on the basketball court last season for the Detroit Pistons while coping with a federal gambling investigation and more than $8 million worth of financial problems that include being sued twice by his Detroit landlord and having part of his Pistons paycheck seized, public records show.

>>149562595
This guy would’ve been an all star in the 90s

Are the knicks retarded?

>>149561718
Jalen Williams couldn't string together two good consecutive games. What's really bothersome is the point guard comparisons SGA receives as if he isn't a bona fide combo-guard with strong shooting guard instincts.

>>149562659
You are a sad person. Why would anybody write such a hateful letter. I am.just guessing but ill bet your life is a mess and you are a hateful mess. What have you done that anyone would consider positive or nice. I am betting nothing. In fact ill bet you are negative force in everyone who comes in contact with you. You most likely have made your family miserable. Alcoholic maybe. I just celebrated my 21 year anniversary of sobriety. You should try it. Maybe it will help you become a person that folks would like to have around. In the mean while start rooting.for the Nets because the Knicks dont want you.

>>149562348
That is crazy

>>149562593
the pelicans have no reason not to be contenders man lol

whats the next team to win their first ring

I love Jdub but lol

Is Ayton even something to "fumble'?

Are we sure this dude is not 40 years old?

>>149563100
this nigga is ASS

Lmao Kobe’s album got leaked this nigga is trash

niggas takin pay cuts to play wit da goat

Uhhh, Lakies? Its been exactly 48 hours since waivers and Dominaytion is not signed....

Ayton's diva attitude in the lakers would be funny to watch.

>>149563558
ayton waived 2 minutes ago

>>149563516
kobe's best talent was his raping

>>149563589
well technically he was waived Monday 5 PM and it takes 48 hours for the process to finish

>>>knicks
guess when trying to poach any respected coach fails your low iq FO just has to hire the worst of the ones waiting in the trash bin LOL

Ayton to the Pacers or Lakers?

>>149563621
yeah but isnt he technically not allowed to speak to any teams until waive finishes or something

>>149563660
I don't think so, tons of other players that got waived had reports coming out immediately after being waived that said "X player will sign with Y team once clearing waivers". Even in the past 2 years where NBA has been cracking down on tampering stuff, we still got jordan clarkson immediately linked to the Knicks once he got waived

>>149562376
memechuck era is over, kid

>>149544926
I need to conquer this white boy. I want him to be begging for my seed.

>>149544926
African kings would wage brutal wars for white bussy like this.

My cousin used to work at a rec center in OKC and swears KD came back once, completely unannounced. He walked in wearing flip-flops, didn’t talk to anyone, just headed straight to the court and started casually hitting turnaround jumpers in jeans. After about ten minutes, he walked over to the trophy case, stared at it for a while, then took out a Sharpie and wrote “Almost” on the glass. Then on his way out, he bought a Thunder keychain from the vending machine, looked the cashier dead in the eye, and said, “For nostalgia.” He dropped it in the trash before the door even closed behind him.

>>149563826
is this a pasta

Why isnt dominayton on my lob city lakers yet?

>>149563825
CB would bend you over and rape you to death though

>>149563889
because he knows LeGM would keep his ass in check

>>149563908
he and luka are going to play all nighters its chill

>>149563889
the state of califoria doesnt have the manpower to control him. were talking about the 24th best center in the nba

Say something nice about Kendrick Perkins

That's so sweet anon

does sengun have a case for 4th best nba center? jokic embiid and wemby clear him but i think he can be argued above anyone else. i dont consider ad a center hes a pf at heart

>>149561240
>Wemby is 11th because MUH POTENTIAL

>>149563958
He isn't better than Zubac and probably isn't better than Kessler and Chetty. He might be better than post injury Embiitch THOUGH

Lob City Lakers?

>>149563921
For someone so stupid, he knows how to play a great dumb person on TV

APOLOGIZE

>>149563958
Naw his team doesn't even trust him to be a center at all with how many actual centers they signed.

>>149563995
>34 million for deandre ayton

I said I'm not trading anything for Ayton. I'm picking him up for the min.

>>149564039
Thats + his buyout, he's getting like 8 mil from mle the lakers had

Luka and Ayton on the same team is pure kino. I hope they win a championship together

Who stops this team 4 times?

lakers are now 6th by fanduel odds. is this the power of DOMINAYTON?????

>so who are you drafting with the #1 overall pick? Luka or Ayton
>Drafting?

The Blazers are helping the celtics and lakers are you guys noticing that

>>149564089
the long con

How long until Lakers fans send death threats to Ayton? I think after Halloween but before thanksgiving.

jaxson hayes you ARE a guangdong tiger

>>149563921
He had better stats than Lavar Ball

You now will remember that Luka and Ayton played Fornite together a while back anons.

>>149564102

>>149564095
Was about to just make a post about this. Joe Cronin, former ESPN media member, is a plant for Inceltic mafia and klutch at the same exact time. It's almost impressive how much of a leash Silver has on this man.

>>149564053
oh i see. thats decent value, it'll be interesting if he'll be motivated properly now with the lakers or if he'll be back to his old tricks

We have the biannual exception left still lakies, who do we take with it?

>be Blazers fan
>on Blazers Twitter
>read this crazy rumor about the Ayton buyout a few days ago
>ignore it
>still in the back of my mind
>just now Ayton signs to the Lakers exactly as predicted
So the Blazers are actually getting Rui Hachimura and some other person for Jerami Grant holy shit

>>149564155
honestly get cp3 he can be lukas backup you dont want gabe vincent in 2026

>>149564164
>Rui and Knecht for Grant
We back, LakeshowGODS

>>149564164
>Rui for Grant
Lmao, no

>>149564174
were keeping our hwyte DAEMON knecht twin

Deandre Ayton is 26 looking 56 nigga lived a rough life or somethings up.

>>149564164
grant is overpaid but hes a good player who would be a great fit for the lakers. by the way the lakers went from 1600 to 1400. dominayton cannot be stopped

>>149564184
Grant brings defense which Rui lacks, less explosive than Rui off the bounce/slash but there is already enough offense on the roster between LeBron, Reaves and Luka.

LeBron gets a little too much hate. The man made 2nd team all NBA and was 6th in MVP voting.

>>149564200
i agree. would be a good trade for the lakers. i wonder if theyre keeping knecht though.

>>149564200
Are the rumours true?

>>149564214
Luka buff makes him prime dwight howard

>>149564200
Grant hasn't played defense ever sense he left Denver

DominAYTON

Warriors what’s are they doing….

>>149564226
Getting 39 yo al horford ( matches the timeline )

How long until Lakersfags start call Ayton abominAYTON?

Inceltic and Skitz in complete shambles. We run this league. Time for the big boys to play.

Grant sucks. We don't want his ass.

>>149564253
nigga we are in the zestga vs vorpic era

>>149564258
He should go to the nuggets desu

>>149564223
Not true, being a westcoastie I watched a lot of Blazers games this year. For work I was in Portland and caught Blazers-T'Wolves at moda, his one on one moments with Edwards were hype and he locked him down, two shot clock violations. Caught Portland-OKC in the NBA cup game in Portland as well and remember his D on SGA , whole arena stood and cheered after a stifling display of defense and a steal. Assuming the rumors are true that he's coming to LA, he'll be highly motivated as well.

Ayton will give JJ reddit a stroke

PG: Luka,
SG: Reaves
SF: Rui
PF: LeBron
C: Ayton
Subs: LaRavia, Vanderbilt, 3pt specialist Knecht. Pretty good 8 man lineup.
Not including the hopeless bums like GAYbe. Signing CP3 to take minutes off Luka would be a perfect conclusion. And maybe get a real backup center.

>>149564200
Rui plays more defense than Grant don't get it twisted

>>149564277
>not including Bronny in the starting 5

>>149564277
no defense whatsoever

>>149564279
Having watched a LOT of Ruinlast year and many Blazers games that's not my impression but I guess we'll see

>YNR that Ayton stopped trying during the playoffs because he wasnt getting enough touches

Should be fun with Lebron, Luka, Reaves on the team

>>149564289
Slim Luka Rui and Ayton can hold their own. Reaves and Bron are problematic.

>>149564289
We gotta trade LeUnc for some young defensive bucks

>>149564277
>>149564289
>>149564303
That isn't the opening night roster, not by a long shot

>>149564277
They'll gaslight you and say 8m for AYTON is anything but amazing

>>149564303
Lowered usage bron is a competent defender, only real problem there is Reaves.

They actually did play fornite together lmao.

Cronin needs to be investigated

How do the Lakers even get rid of Bron? The NTC means either waiving him or convincing him to agree to a trade. Hes at absolute most 3 years from retirement with 1 or 2 years being more logical. Hes got everything in LA. Can the Lakers blackmail him by threatening to send Bronny to the Wizards?

Who's stopping this team 4 times?

>>149563574
Hes not gonna be able to handle it

>>149564329
if youre not a woman or a very feminine twink painting nails you have no business painting your nails. some 7 foot giganigga doing it is even lamer than those e-boy faggots

Luka will go to Denver after his contract

>>149564329
Why is it more common for zoomer nba players to paint their nails?

Breaking: Lakers trade for Marvin Bagley III, now have the top 3 picks of 2018 NBA Draft.

>>149564303
Luka gives good effort which is all you can ask but he's not a very good defender. Ayton with a lakers whistle might be serviceable but I wouldn't pick him to win the center matchup over a 7 game series against
>Jokic
>Sabonis
>Wemby
>Sengun
>AD
I don't think I'd favor him over JJJ, Holmgren or Zubac either. And in the east he'd get absolutely shit stomped by the cavs front court, bucks front court, KAT, bam and healthy embiid, healthy pingis. I would expect Duren and Claxton to have the edge over Ayton if he's not fully locked in.

>>149544799 (OP)
I still can't believe this happened
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdxtXSUtp48

Ayton is on an 8 million 1+1 deal. There's literally nothing wrong with tryibg the waters.

>>149564345
You get rid of him by selling him for cheapies to a desperate east team before the deadline, I'd cough up a pick for LeBron if I'm the Cavs or Knicks.

>diddy got acquitted
How's he feeling right now?

>>149564463
And the Lakers should take it. The faster you move on from LeQueen the better. And you might as well get something for him. They're not winning a chip this year anyhow.

>>149564393
Because theyre eating ass on the weekend just look up Dwight Howard "kitty" thats common for them

>>149564463
they cant trade him unless he agrees to it. i think the only team that could even consider it is ny given its a massive market lebron never spread his roots in

>>149564483
You'll get his other talentless son and no pay cut and you will enjoy it

>>149564439
Sabonis hasn't won a 7 game series against anyone. Most overrated player in the league

>>149564463
He has a no trade clause dude also both the knicks and cavs which he'd prob be fine with going to are super awkward, cavs are on the second apron and would need to move the heavens and earth to clear space for an aggregate trade & the knicks have like 10 players and would trade half their core just to match salaries. Bridges & Hart for a 40yo retirement tour lebron is a hard sell

>>149564494
>>149564518
i think LeBron might agree to Knicks or Cavs, not sure if they can make it happen but if they could I think LeBron would waive his NTC

>>149564439
its scary how many big men in the west would eat his lunch. hes comically outclassed by like 7 centers and thats not even including the big vorp.

>>149564529
Knicks have such a weird front office that I can see them doing a stupid trade but Cavs already mostly shut those convos down.

>>149564439
Ayton has the talent to hang with any big in the league but as always it's a question of heart and effort

>>149564500
You haven't been paying attention. LeCrybaby is throwing a tantrum in the media because the Lakers gave him the cold shoulder.

we got him for good

>Ayton to Lakers
>P Diddy free
What a glorious day.

niggas think LeDiddy would accept a trade is hilarious nobody wants that bum
not even 4 years ago would anyone take his old ass

>>149564552
rumor is some people in the cavs organization are sick of garland and allens no shows every year. and they need a forward. plus lebron is a well respected playmaker/passer. seeing a bron for allen/garland trade isnt unthinkable. stay woke

>>149564608
We'll take 'em! Flip Garland try out Allen.

>>149564555
yeah i think ayton will bust his ass as long as he believes he has a chance at another contract next offseason. even with the best version of ayton the lakers perimeter defense will continue to be dogshit, this roster is just not great defending as a team and have very few quality on-ball defenders.

>Outkick: When ESPN re-signed Stephen A. Smith to a five-year, $100 million contract earlier this year, we predicted that ESPN would come to regret the investment by the end of the deal.
was he that popular, americans? I know he has some one-liners about staying off the WEED-uh, and lamar odom being on CRACK, but jfc

>>149564592
why would anyone call themselves a diddy supporter. are they paid?

>>149564608
I can definitely see it but still, second apron demon dude, it's literally impossible for the cavs to get out of this shit without signaling to the entire league "our first seed contracts are available" and then 1 year contract 40yo lebron is not that appealing in comparison to other moves, even in cleveland.

>>149564583
He's stuck to LA like a cancer. Probably nothing happens and he wastes another year of Luka's career

>>149564592
>crowd of gay niggers
>knicks hat

>>149564592
I can't tell if the guy sagging his pants with an earring is a faggot or a thug nigga

Bronny Luka Ayton will be a legendary DPS Healer Tank trio

Let's get the bros together.

Atleast it doesn't snow in LA...

if Hali wasnt hurt would Ayton go to the pacers?
the west has all the best centers

>>149564723
If hali wasnt hurt they wouldn't even be in convos cause turner would've been resigned

>>149564731

>>149564723
Embiitch bros....we are forgotten

his show was pretty entertaining when he had good co-hosts, in the 90s and early 00s he still had a reputation as an actual journalist and sports writer amongst players

Ainge sisters, I'm worried for our guy.

>>149564619
nah he's more of a heel than popular
i guy you love to hate type

>>149564778
Lakers will still be on the prowl for Kessler. Ayton is a stop-gap.

Jake Laravia > Lebron

>>149564778
Lakers can still get Kessler thoughbeit

Holy fuck Lebron might actually go to the Wizards and do what Jordan could never do

basketball IQ of 55 and he's a total pussy
luka will hate this amerinigger

in a loaded west what could he do. trade those pieces in conference he'd get fired, what eastern conference pieces could he realisticly get? Giannis aint walking thru that door

>>149564825
paul george swap + picks in the markannen contract? Kessler feels like a genuine piece they want to keep there's a reason why they're asking so much for this contract.

>>149564820

Nope. We winning our 19th chip

Hang it up already faggots

>>149564909
wolves are very close to them by odds but i think they are done. sorry to wuffssisters...

>>149564866
Right he played for the Celtics and was GM or president no way they’re genuinely building the Jazz

>>149564909
The only thing they did so far was lose a key rotation piece to FA and resign naz and randle ( both up on great contracts btw ) so it's hard to argue they got better, probably still up there with knicks lakers though.

>>149564927
Ant didn't take the step needed it seems to me

>>149564277
That isn't even the final form.

Damn the west is ours already. Just give us the chip already

>>149564938
he improved his 3pt shooting so much but his slashing regressed heavily

>>149564923
you have 1 shooter and 6 guys who cant play defense
your future is losing the play in game at best lets be real

>>149564818
He needs more help

>>149564909
Timberwolves have zero chance of winning a ring. They only exist to BTFO of the Nuggets every year

>>149564916
yes, he absolutely is
do you think he wakes up every day and sings "God Save The King"?
his bitch ass hebraic lifestyle is 100% american

did denver cuck lebron? lakers still have no bench

Good morning smelly subhuman jeet!

gettin uppity after the Ayton signing...

Lebron got no help though

>>149565014
who held that record before him?

>>149565014
While Jokic hasn't even played with an All-Star.

>>149565003
I look like this and say this

>>149564825
He should have traded Lauri as soon as people realized Lauri was allstar caliber under a bretty gud contract

Just a reminder that two of MJ's rings are complete asterisks cause the three point line was moved up so that a 20% threepoint shooter MJ could shoot 40%. MJ played with easier rules and easier competition. Just a bunch of looney tunes space jam rings.

Lakers need an enforcer, a dawg

He shouldn't need to. He just needs an actual PG on the team that isn't old ass Mike Conley or NAW larping as one. Then he can focus on being in attack mode all the time, which is where he's strongest.
