lets all take turns saying something nice and sweet about jenny

reminder

always funny getting into the "who the fuck are you" minutes of a summer league game.

I watched Jurassic World (by myself) just now. It had me speechless. The T Rex scene had me out of my seat. So tense. Glad I watched it. Best movie I’ve seen in theaters all year. Can’t wait for Superman in a couple days.

Watched it on 3D RDX (seats move, water sprays on you, you can feel everything)


Chris Paul is a fine player and a team needs to pick him up.

>>149631731
nice

>>149631731
That jurassic world movie was fucking dogshit. awful characters, awful script, mid music. I wanted to go home so badly, but I was with someone.

Embiid is winning a ring next season btw

>>149631758
Ok so I wasnt alone alone, it was full.

>>149631247
>some at the time random literal who was raised by a single mom and is nouveau riche is running the world

>>149631356
Yes, but you can arrested or in trouble for stray bullets and given the elusiveness of it cause its not a person,

Your better off using pepper spray or portable bear spray and that'll make it fuck off,

Overall I don't hate dogs but they're fucking retardedly annoying and people honestly just over-own them, every house I was delivering to had a shitbull or a german or a mutt

>>149631716
As an OKC fan who was relived of a heart attack when they won, I fucking hate their post season, Presti hasn't traded away guys like Kenrich and Joe, who did nothing in the finals, to get elite roleplayers like Gary Trent, Coby White, or Nickeil Walker

They're not making big enough trades and teams like the Rockets, Mavs and Spurs are a huge threat to their seeding as well if coached well and defense of their title

How do manlets deal with being short?

Paul George fan btw

>>149631769
Bro you're lying. everyone in the theater was screaming and loved it.

>>149631679 (OP)
damn this russian boi lookin kinda nice

>>149631786
I just don't go outside

CHING CHONG BING BONG GO BRAZERS

>>149631679 (OP)
>Russian with a black hairline
ive seen enough. hes the GOAT

Vj Edgecombe looking like a dawg already. Thank God Morey didn't fall for ace bailey

>>149631788
It was really stinky, bro. Just my opinion.

Looked good though. gareth edwards movies always do. his scripts suck ass though. I didn't care about a single one of those characters. not the latino family. not the paper thin scarjo character whose name I don't remember, or mahershala ali's name who I also don't remember. The gay man who plays in wicked did a good job, though. they could have all died and I wouldn't have cared.

I've seen enough. VJ edgecomb is the next D Wade

>>149631503
>Investigation for roid lab during when he was in Miami

Its pretty obvious he's roided out, I was just concern trolling with the question, thats singlehandedly why he even looks so big and hasn't lost too much step, he's 40, and has played and dunked for 20 years, HGH and heavy Tren and etc regenerates tissue, cause by now you would assume he'd blow his ACL or tear his achilles

>>149631668
Go!!

Oklahoma City Cybertrons, and Los Angeles Lebots

>>149631845
I see D Wade

paolo escobar bros...

Collier making some fancy passes.

>>149631731
lowkey teared up hearing that classic theme

go thunder

>>149631845
>>149631857
He needs to solidify his handle, but he is looking good so far.

>>149631731
Everyone clapped at the end of the movie it was kinda odd.

Knecht intentionally tanking his trade value cause he wants to stay in LA, he'll suddenly be able to play like a pro again come October.

Ace Bailey is legitimately shit

>>149631731
Desmond Bane looks fierce ngl

>>149631106
perennial failure and disappointment turns into "sour grapes" for the average idiot. claiming that winning isn't a big deal is a lot easier to live with than admitting that you failed is. same reason why 4chan is packed to the gills with losers who think porno and masturbation is a worthwhile substitute for legitimate sex, also why 'eltics fans claim a * is as good as a real ring.

>jared mccain (curry)
>vj edgecomb (d wade)
morey, you're still fat, but nice picks

Wow ace bailey is a certified busterino

>>149631845
>vagina edgecombe
this will never stop being funny

>>149632116
Yeah I saw that tweet too

>>149632116
fucking kira lewis jr and darius blazey

>>149632116
dowtin was the worst last year when I was just trying to see mccain. and then it carried over into the season with bum ass eric gordon and reggie jackson refusing to pass to a guy who is clearly on fire

>>149632131
vagina edge cum

>>149632116
its gettin ridiculous

>>149632186
I wonder if bron really has him gaslit enough to believe he's good or he knows he's ass

reminder that the Heat are the defending summer league camp champs
put some respect on their name

>stumble upon the wikipedia article for a steal (basketball)
>see that the image used is of a WHITE boy STEALING the ball from a BLACK kid
what did THEY meant by THIS?

>>149632227
weapskitz was celebrating that shit like the heat won the actual larry. shame

>>149632260
The all time steals leader is a white man

Edgecombe looking like a baby demon
Bailey so shit that he got benched in crunch time in the Summer League

>>149632201
LeOld isn't all that bright himself, him and his kid are probably both still in the dark on a lot of topics

>>149632186
just be chris paul bro it's just that simple

>>149632271
Stockton is not a real human being
He is a cyborg/android

>>149632186
based bronny. good mindset

Lights were too bright for shart bailey it seems

>>149632363
Can't remember ever seeing a top 5 pick get benched in an SL game because he was so bad he was legitimately unplayable.

>>149632375
Weren't Wemby and Sarr also ass in their first games?

>>149632406
Sarr was garbage the entire summer

>>149632406
There is ass and there is being so ass that your SL coach benches you for most of the 4th quarter in a close game because you're actively hurting the team on both ends.

>>149632435
naw senpai this was definitely worse

>>149632186
Bronny leap coming

Anytime a team gets a guy out of the second round that can play the team did a nice job.
Danny getting Filiposwki last year out of the second was a steal.

>>149632444
dude's 7 feet why didnt he just attack the rim

>>149632465
because other 7 footers are trying to stop you

VJ Edgecombe the GOAT or Jazz just ass?

Giving up on my gay lifestyle to work on my game more.

>>149632574
Jump shot looked good despite the 3pt numbers

>edgecomb chucked 27 shots in 30 minutes
impressive

>>149631731
How was the poop scene?

>>149632627
would you prefer another free throw merchant? he shot well, just not from 3

>>149632627
>boomers want to see players brick 100 contested mid range shots
lol ok

>>149632577
Jazz won buddy

>>149632359
its just a cope.
the same lack of physical ability that prevents him from being good on offense will also prevent him from being good one defense.
it just easier to claim to be good on d than at scoring because theres less statistics that measure defensive ability.

>LeBron James only has 4 rings
brotha got less rings than dennis rodman

>>149632797
What is he doing?

>>149632776
If you mention bron having four rings even with no extra context, bron stans will lose their fucking minds. jordan slander. kobe rape cases. ring culture. all because bron hasn't been as good as he should have been. four is disgusting, and they all know 2020 was mickey mouse shit.

Bronsexuals they're slandering our goat.

>>149632888
its been bad this past week especially, niggas wont stop

>Daltroon Knecht is older than Cant Man
Why the FUCK wasn't he traded

>>149632186
no idea how people don't like this guy way more than his bozo dad

They're mad that Ace Bailey plays winning basketball while Vaj Edgecombs shoots the team out the game

>>149632827
2020 they would have won the chip if it was played regularly. Anyone watching the season would have told you that. Pelinka couldn't cope with the fact that the team he didn't build would dynasty and at minimum, repeat, so he blew up the team, forever banishing the win as le mickey mouse ring.

>>149632925
>jeets don't know ball
Shocker

>>149632574
they lost

>>149632941
Laker cope.

>niggas are so bored they're reposting old head jones now
is there so little going on that we're listening to that jobless 40 year old bum

>>149632970
it literally isn't though
lakers were 49-14 and 1st in the west before the league shutdown, it was just the perfect year

>>149632961
Results oriented retarded smelly jeet. Fuck off back to Mumbai

>>149633000
>take 26 shots so none of your teammates can get into rythm the entire game

¡=team low

Need LeBron in Charlotte to win da land a ring.

>>149633055
Sorry lil bro but we're dismantling the lamelo core and building around the wigger audience now

is KAT for Bron straight up a good trade or what

>>149633034
>76ers 89 L
>Jazz 93 W

>>149633075
WHAT?

>>149633082
For lakers? Not that good you got a starting caliber center atleast for now and kat is not a defensive upgrade over ayton even with his problem and he's not exactly the best lob target
For knicks? Its ok, you still got robinson and lebron rounds them out a lot on the non-brunson minutes but he could legit just retire so its a big big risk and the kat salary is pretty valuable considering whats happening in milwaukee, imo.

>>149633098
Thanks for demonstrating the Mumbai Mentality.

>>149632888
it's klutch media paving a way for Lebron to relocate don't fall for it

why does shai make luka bawbs seethe?

>>149633082
Luka needs a rim runner that aint KAT

>>149632998
anything can happen in the playoffs, but th elements which go towards that kind of chaos were removed. no crowd. no travel time. no home court advantage. we don't know with certainty that they would have won.

>>149633082
Nah. You might only get one season out of Bron. With Kat he's young as fuck

>>149632941
>bronsexuals when the 40 year old ringchasers that made the team stacked retire after they win a ring
wtf how could pelinka do this?

Sixers might’ve ducked a land mine

>>149633196
Rondo played two more seasons. Dwight played two more seasons. Green played four more seasons. Javale McGee played four more seasons. You aren't going to get away with these lies, Pelinka.

Is it me or are the vast majority of the teams in the NBA complete shitshows?

TYBH

>>149632574
>28 pts
>26 fg attempts

>>149633233
Roster-wise? Org wise? All around?

>>149633242
dirty player

If LeFaggot wants a ring so bad maybe he should take the pay cut

>>149633265
he should but he really can't because it would set a precedent where no owner would want give out supermaxes.

>>149633255
Mainly org wise. Sports teams that are chronically bad are usually the result of sustained awfulness on the ownership and management level.

>>149633300
I definitely see it, they're running a lot of teams do the bare minimun or are completely incompetent in the basketball part of the business, there's a reason why like 5 teams won 70%~ of rings

>>149633242
>tybh
Lmao

>>149632574
Nice summer league debut especially considering Jazz started four of their rotation players from last year

>>149633309
carry

>>149633221
>Rondo played two more seasons. Dwight played two more seasons
oh yeah? where'd they play them
why couldn't the lakers dynasty dynasty it up when they came back?

>>149633549
>where'd they play

>>149632586
just retire Jimmy

>>149633113
whats happening in Milwaukee? did i miss something?

>>149633996
Just the dame waive and turner signing, clear desperation move by the bucks to try and keep giannis and this is not enough if giannis is serious about winning. I don't think he requests a trade this off-season but the trade deadline after a really underwhelming season is another story, kat swap makes that easy.

>>149632586
but shai, you just won a championship? why retire already

>>149634019
very funny anon

>>149634073
its not a joke :^)

Aye remember when they were talking about building a wall then that didn't happen and now they don't even talk about that no more lol

I am fucking wasted as fuck man

>>149634353
But the clippers did build a wall

>>149634362
im headed that way myself. about to load up my 2k17 game where its me and Kyrie on a shitty team putting up ridiculous numbers.

I don't want to be a player no more

my government is banning 4chan to keep me safe from you guys

>>149633125
2024 luka was obviously better though

>>149634603
thought on keir starmer with hoops equivalent?

>>149634603
What a depressing turn of events this world has become. Porn isn't even allowed on blue boards, and all we do here is talk ball (poorly) and fight with ourselves. Nothing dangerous to society.
>>149634630
Take away SGA's whistle and he's probably still all-star tier but he is no MVP.

>>149634603
we will miss you

Why did the Jazz play a bunch of starters?

>>149634630
Only on the boxscore, all the advanced stats favor SGA

Why did Ainge draft Michael Porter III at #5?

my favorite players
>curry
>butler
>embiid
>jared mccain
>trae young
>haliburton
what that say bout me

>>149634789
It depends, how often do you actually play basketball?

>>149634707
Starmer is a child fiddling shabbos goy, just like Lebron 'Ain't no party like a Diddy party' James
>>149634708
It's very sad
>>149634713
you too pal
>>149634741
advanced stats say that Jokic is the best player ever

>>149634929
just vpn it up twin

>>149634929
>advanced stats say that Jokic is the best player ever
Only offensively

>>149634940
don't you have to buy the pass to post with a vpn or something
>>149634959
and overall impact. Do you know of any good defensive advanced stats? Because DBPM favours Jokic.

Advanced stats say nothing about whistle/referee favortism. Free throws aren't enough.

>>149634979
No idea I only used it with frequency when twitter got region locked here, you're probably gonna be fine if you dont use one of the popular ones ( which you shouldnt do anyway ) I used mullvad but there's better ones out there.

>>149635009
ok cheers, i'll look for a less popular one when the ban actually happens

>>149635018
get one you pay through with crypto if you're particularly schizo about it, thats half the reason why I used that one

>>149635024
kek i'm not that schizo about it, all i do on here is post on /sp/ and watch youtube. Just want what works.

is sabonis actually good at anything besides rebounding? I don't waste my time watching the kings

>>149634886
maybe three times a week

>>149634979
BPM and DPBM are meme stats that only use boxscore. They true advanced stats in the way RAPTOR, LEBRON, MAMBA, EPM etc are. Jokic is thus inflated on the defensive end because of his uncontested defensive rebounds.

>>149635121
>advanced stats are memes
that's the point

>>149634979
Try this, 4chan was also blocked here years ago

>>149635314
ty

>2/18 shooting

Didnt they said Lebron carried that 2003-2010 cavs team every year?

top 5 of each conference? I feel like the west has like 4 different teams that could fill the 4-5 spots

So to recap last night

VJ Edge Cum = speedy Jimmy Butler
Ass Gayley = retarded Brandon Ingram

>>149635691
The consensus WAS that he's more of a project...

>>149631780
Who's going to take Kenny realistically? I'm guessing if Presti is going to move Joe he'd wait for Joe to hit his regular season 3s before the deadline so that his value goes up a bit. With Topic coming in, adding any of those guards would just make the already congested guard rotation even more claustrophobic. OKC needs a bench big if anything, and I'm guessing they're betting on the team to make 3pt improvements from the gym, Caso and Joe for those specifically

reminder that summer league means nothing

continuing from yesterday's discussion, do you think sixers' future will be good as soon as Embiid and PG's cursed contract is finally over?

>>149635387
you realize we can still see your anti Jokic flag and your caps spamming

>>149636235
probably not, their "exciting young core" is just a bunch of guards with mediocre playmaking

>>149636235
They'll look like the current/last season Bulls at best. Their young core now is going to have some serious contract discussions of their own once Embiid and George finally leaves, and without legitimate rebuild years they're in danger of barely treading water like Beal Wizards

>>149636358
We just saw a bunch of mediocre guards win the East

>>149636758
none of them will be floor generals like haliburton. They'll have to spend multiple years of drafting and trading well to build a roster comparable to the Pacers, probably including trading away McCain and Grimes

>30 year old jokic vs 30 year old lebron
what do you notice

>>149636343
>thinking lebum is better than Jokic

1. MJ
2. Kareem
3. Kobrick
4. Jokic
5. Magic
6. Russel
7. Bird
8. Shaq
9. Wilt
10. Lebum

>>149637136
not what i said dickhead

>>149637246
cope and seethe retarded bronsexual

>>149637136
Wilt & Russel at top 10 is interesting

im bout to take a massive lebron

>>149637308
if you enjoy being trolled it certainly is

>>149637351
If you dont give a fuck about how their game would translate to modern day I can see how someone would rank them like that

>>149637363
Then you'd remove Jokic at the very least. Big men did not pass even in the 90's or early 00's. Webber talks about this frequently. A great passer in his own right.

My shit stinks worse than Nikola Jokic in Game 7 this morning

>>149637419
>Nikola Jokic in Game 7 this morning
he didn't play this morning

>>149637308
Wilt and Russell are featured in top 10s plenty. Maybe Wilt drops out but Russell at 4-8 is common

I just took a dark black Julius Randle his entire career and the paper got stuck in my ass it was so caked full of shit

>>149637703
nigga shouldnt even be on the team

I saw bro went to pop out with them, but been dick riding gang since headlines

>>149637727
why not

Orlando summer league was sovl. Why did they changed it to sacramento & utah?

>>149637727
>sleeping on the bronny leap

>>149638207
Or wherever commiefornia classic is played at.

VJ still looked shit. I don't think he'll be anything more than mid in a real game.

>>149638682
They drafted Buddy Hield without the shooting

>>149631845
>>149639039
Being a dawg isn't a real skill. He has talent but no skills

>>149632574
Shot his team out the game

>>149635691
Utah desperately needed an athletic wing.
They have Markennen, Filiopowski and John Collins. Stacked with Forwards that can shoot.
They can bring Ace along at his pace and trade one of them when they want to fill other spaces.

How can the greatest scorer of all time be chasing the greatest scorer of all time despite playing more seasons?

happy bustday

>>149639650
How is a multiple time all star a bust?

>>149639650
happy birfday king

I was cruising around outside a gay club and some middle aged guy shoved his hand down my pants to feel my butt. I feel assaulted.

But it’s okay when Chokebitch comes into the season out of shape

My NBA2kEra team

Allen Iverson (31)
James Harden (24)
Billy Owens (34)
Al Horford (27)
Dwight Howard (18)

Tari Eason (30)
Patty Mills (26)
Javale McGee (28)
Keon Ellis (30)

The bench are on cheap declining contracts for the next four years, who do I trade to get a better small forward? We lost in the WCF to Kobe, Westbrook and Scoot with no frontcourt in 6

anyone know why buzelis dropped in the draft, he's class

>>149641708
I forgot we got expiring Antwan Jamison (26) too

>not cheating at everything

>>149634603
Absolutely brilliant. 4chan needs more technically challenging barriers to entry, they weed out the low IQ posters.

league not ready for 26yo antGOD

>>149643030
thugs shouldn't be good three point shooters, that's what makes ant so special. He's like the inverse of Cooper Flagg

>>149643291
How is he a thug?

>>149634708
>Take away SGA's whistle and he's probably G league tier
fix'd
no outside shot, can't drive, mediocre ball handler. he is just one of those guys who are athletic while at the same time completely uncoordinated, he should've gone into olympic running events, but hoops pays way way more.
but as long as he can get FTs by intentionally colliding with defenders he will score a lot of points because people will get out of his way and let him shoot uncontested 10' jumpers that a pre-teen could make easily at a higher percentage than he does. gayson does that big push off and gets away with it every time, but when SGA does it the defender gets called for blocking.
try looking up "sga highlights" sometime if you want to be bored to death.

>>149643573

Stick to Soccer Nigel, you don't know ball.

>>149644291
ja's a larper. Ant is the only real nigga star in the nba. The Timberwolves is full of real niggas.

>>149644349
Gobert is big but I wouldn't call him real. Randle Naz rotation jayden I can see it tho

>might move to the phoenix area

ok rip

Suns have young talent now…

>>149644499
That's basketball purgatory twin only go to your team's away games there and make fun of the suns fans

>>149644437
Randle, Naz, and Jaden were who I was thinking of yes. Gobert's not even close. Divincenzo is closer than Gobert.

>>149644582
Donte is a real wigger pqtriot

>>149644611
this

tell 'em unc

i don't see what stephon castle did, other than play more minutes than every other rookie, that makes people think he's good. He'll be traded soon enough, Harper's miles better.

>>149644658
His finals stats are actually bonkers, underrated even though he's the logo which is odd.

>>149644682
no three point line as well. pete poster should dickride him instead

>>149644682
didn't he play in the 60s? if the CIA could invent psyops like "MLK" then they could easily fake those stats

>>149644703
Those finals were all close too, iirc he has the only losing finals mvp, if he got like 2 more rings he'd definitely be in more convos he should be in regardless. He's the damn logo for Christ's sake.

>>149644746
That's a carry.

>>149644833
100 points? Not believing it til I see the footage.

>>149632817
he is niggermaxxing

>>149632797
hes a nyc old head that lives in Atlanta. the worst possible combination.

>>149644910
wilt chamberlain was another psyop to get white people to like black people during the civil rights era

>>149645029
I mean considering the shit he got up to a damn shit psyop, spitting on people and shit. You'd think Russel was the one being a celtic and all.

>>149645002
>nyc oldhead black dude that lives in Atlanta
That’s my dad too a truly crazy nigga

>>149645076
>>149645002
what is particularly bad about this?

>>149645071
>Chamberlain denounced the Black Panthers Party and other black nationalist movements in the late 1960s, and he supported Republican Richard Nixon in the 1968 and 1972 presidential elections.[234] Chamberlain accompanied Nixon to the funeral of Martin Luther King Jr.[235] and considered himself a Republican.[236]
nuff said

>>149645111
you have to be black to understand.

>>149645118
We got footage of him in the mlk funeral but not a single tape of the 100 pt game, fairs.

>>149645118
>wilt was a coon
thank god bill won 11 on this niggas head.

>>149645179
i bet if you did a deep dive into all of the people and newspapers who talk(ed) about his 100 point game you'd find some interesting surnames

>>149645273
it was live on the radio. my grandfather who also served in 'nam claimed he listened to it live. he also listened to jerry west hitting a half court shot to send a finals game to OT while he was in 'nam and go so pumped he jumped and hit his on the bunker above. it happened.

>>149645379
>live on the radio
kek and MLK was a grassroots activist! Take the Tyler Herro pill, none of it is real.

#OpenTheVaults and I'll believe it.

>>149645210
He feuded with Kareem because he publicly said he only liked white women

>>149645432
my grandfather isnt lying. if /nba/ existed in the 60s he'd probably be posting here. hes obsessed with basketball. he still watches games to this day.

>>149645522
What are his thoughts on the evolution of the game? Favorite team and players?

>>149645522
i'm sure he heard what he heard, i'm not so sure that what he heard actually happened

Does LeSperm play today? I've a vested interested in the Bronny leap agenda

>>149645565
i hope he's serviceable next season, they desperately need some defence

>>149645565
Lakies and Heat face off today

>>149645540
he supports the lakers. he doesnt like how the game has evolved but he says there's nothing you can do to stop it and thats just how evolution works.

his favorite current players whoever plays on the lakers kek. hes a big fan of jokic though.
>>149645541
he listened to it live. dont know what else to tell you. ill take his word over yours anyday

>>149645601
I'm smoking all the copium available personally.

>At least five teams are expected to show free agent interest in Bradley Beal, once he officially becomes available later this week: Bucks Clippers Heat Lakers Nuggets
Where is his best fit?

the security state was trying to convince people who supported the KKK that ending segregation would be a good thing, so they made wilt chamberlain the 'based negro' and pretended he scored 100 points

Jerry West (pbuh) is the only player ive seen steal a defensive rebound right out of the opponents hands then immediately turn around, shoot it and make it.

How do we feel about this? How does this affect SGA's game?

denver

getting him isn't the beal and end-all for any team really

Schizos have no real personality the schizo shit is just a big cope for being uninteresting. That's why they threads are so damn boring

>>149646316
beal is a free 20 ppg on 60% true shooting.

>>149646351
>missed the pun award
is he even being bought out? Could be a good signing for Denver if they don't spend their money on Horford (which is more important)

getting heemed by depression

>>149646381
they dont need old ass horford, they need someone who can score the ball when jokic sits down with them leading by 10 pts.

>kyries profile pic on twitter
What‘s wrong with this dude

>>149646387
John Wall

>>149646461
they need depth more than anything, horford is the only solid centre on the market who can be backup to jokic while playing meaningful minutes alongside him. Beal would be good though, but some comination of Murray, Johnson, Braun, or Gordon should be able to score against the other team's bench players for 12 minutes a night

>>149646555
switching to a small ball lineup while jokic sits would be way harder on the other team having to adjust matchups than them just being able to stick through one gameplan the entire game and have crews stay in rythm.

Denver will fail to make playoffs, get another top 5 pick and then win the championship the next season when Kyrie returns.

>>149646617
who will be their small ball centre? Gordon can't play 48 minutes a night. Da'Ron Holmes? Recipe for disaster, especially when injuries happen

>>149646704
I don‘t care how bad d‘lo is, if they can‘t make the playoffs without kyrie they were never winning a championship

>>149646704
Kyrie never been in Denver

>>149646762
I obviously meant Dallas

Mavs will make playoffs, Flagg is genuinely good

>>149646491
WE WUZ CYBERPUNK JEWISH KANGZ, N SHIEET

>>149646740
they have watson. all he needs to do is just stand around and block shots, grab rebounds. and it doesnt even matter if the ball goes in, their lineup should be able to continue scoring. if injuries happen their chances are shot anyway.

>>149646861
>watson
you realise we're trying to make a roster which denver wins with, not okc

>>149646926
im making a roster that plays 5 to 10 minutes a game max

>>149647104
shams should die

>>149647010
peyton watson at centre for 5-10 minutes a night in the playoffs is nightmare fuel
>>149647104
lakers should have gone for zikarsky

>>149647211
im not sure what part of small ball lineup you dont understand. no one is playing center

supposedly the nuggets are enslaving valanciunas anyway, so that's their center sorted and they can give beal the ntpmle
https://basketnews.com/news-227454-jonas-valanciunas-rumors-stay-with-nuggets.html

>>149647287
all basketball is positionless, the point is that the skinny freak with no talent would have to guard a real centre in the playoffs

>>149647288
HOW THEM CHAINS FEEL, YT BOI?!

The Lakers have had the second worst offseason so far behind the Bucks. They got a center, but not the great rim-protecting center they needed, and they lost Finney-Smith.
LeBron James may end up with 2 playoff wins in the last five seasons.

>>149647553
his ass aint live through jim crow like my granddaddy did

>>149647603
>LeBron James may end up with 2 playoff wins in the last five seasons.
Wait nevermind I'm retarded.

>>149647603
give it time, they have knecht and a first to trade

>>149647603
They weren‘t doing anything with that washed bum on the team anyway

>>149646555
>some comination of Murray, Johnson, Braun, or Gordon should be able to score against the other team's bench players for 12 minutes a night
That sticks Jokic having to play with scrubs while AG & Braun get their rest.

anyone watching germany vs usa u19 final

>>149647654
No trade is going to make up for the fact that putting James and Doncic on the court at the same time is completely defensively invalid.

>>149647724
obviously they'd have to stagger the minutes intelligently, you don't want a pure bench lineup playing for 8 minutes in the playoffs either
>>149647737
reaves is a bigger issue than bron, but yeah i agree they won't win anything

>>149647603
Cope

>>149647765
>reaves is a bigger issue than bron
Nah.

>>149647104
I don’t know 80% of these hoopers

>>149647793
cherrypicked
he can still defend when he locks in

>>149647765
Why are the lakers so obsessed with reaves? I‘m seeing rui in trade talks when he has been better than reaves, especially in the playoffs

>>149647821
no idea, probably because he was developed by them. But tbf trading him now would be silly because his value will be low

He just. Fucking. Stands. There. Then yells at his teammates like it's their fault that he just fucking stands there.
Then he goes home, shoots up PEDs, tries hair treatments that don't work, and reads the first pages of five books.

>>149647821
Because he's a homegrown "star". Thanfully new ownership won't give a shit. His ass is gone.

>>149647817
Is the 41 year old going to lock in the majority of the season?
>>149647849
His value should be high because he‘s on low money and statpadded a bunch last season

>>149647894
>Is the 41 year old going to lock in the majority of the season?
no, but he could do in the playoffs
>His value should be high because he‘s on low money and statpadded a bunch last season
final year of his contract, and which team wants a pg who they're going to have to pay $25-30 million for next year?

>>149647922
Pacers should unironically trade for him, could be good Haliburton insurance if he doesn’t come back the same. Solid 20-5-5 guy with minutes that draws contact and his defense isnt bad when he plays with a true center

>>149647922
So what‘s the alternative then? His contract ends and the lakers either overpay to keep him, making a trade even harder, or lose him on a free

>>149647984
highly doubt they'd give a package worth it for LA

>>149648017
overpay to keep him. Reaves for 25-30 million is very tradable, they just need to make sure the contract is only a few years long

>>149647884
Nothing has been reported that suggests anyone is even thinking of moving him

nuggies just landed chris paul lol

>>149647309
That doesnt matter. All they have to do is keep the score at 0-0 until jokic comes back in

german guy just dunked on some american bois

>>149648118
RIP brodie return?

>>149648154
and they won't do that with peyton watson guarding hartenstein, gafford, capela, etc.

>>149648181
They will cause they dont need to get any stops when no one on the other team is going to stop their scoring

>>149647603
>and they lost Finney-Smith
why do people pretend like dfs was jrue holiday tier or herb jones tier, he wasn't even our best defensive wing

>>149648213
the Nuggets bench is hardly unstoppable offensively is it

>>149648258
You need to watch some wizards beal games where he actually gets the ball

>>149648241
2 defensive wings are better than 1

>>149648297
they were the 27th best offence in the league last year

>>149647104
>literally the kd trade just with some extra movements for the salary cap

Now owners haven't officially taken over yet. That's why Rob still has a job.

>>149648491
Hope you‘re right. They‘re just wasting lukas prime over there

wait the magic traded 4 firsts and KCP for desmond bane
when the fuck did that happen and why in gods name is this team so retarded

>>149648344
Ade you retarded man? Read

>>149648687
not only that but every single retard on the internet is trying to convince you they also won that trade

>>149648619

luka didn't even officially have an all star teammate until this season, dallas wasted the entire beginning of his career
>inb4 dirk
farewell tour pity vote, doesn't count

>>149648687
he's a perfect fit for the magic and those picks are worthless to them. The only real downside is potential opportunity cost

>>149648762
i hate this fucking team so goddamn much its unreal

>>149648717
you're the retard for thinking the nuggets can run small ball in the playoffs and trust bradley beal to score on every single possession

>>149648837
Beal had 60% ts on 23 fga a game you sre a retard

>>149648818
hes a decent piece but thats a superstar haul of draft capital and he just isnt that
if they were win now theyd go get giannis or something, if they wanted to keep building they’d keep the picks, bane is worth maybe 2 1sts at the most
it makes no sense

>>149648687
dont worry, memphis just signed a big man with foot problems to a max

Would such a tool be functional for women's genital region grooming?

>>149648801
Luka wasn‘t a top 5 player at the beginning of his career. Lebron has essentially come out and let it be known that he might be open for a trade and instead of aggressively trying to do that they‘re running it back with this “big 3“ that‘s never gonna work. Reaves is on his last year but they‘re still sticking with him because jeanie wants to fuck him. The org is a joke. Literally just get in a bunch of young, athletic dudes that can fly all over the court and you have a contender

>>149648891
Just a westgod babby

>>149648891
and the wizards proved that that alone won't get a positive +/-

>>149648891
>looking at stats of players on tanking teams
Come on

>>149648944
how do these front office people make millions of dollars to be this awful
put me in there fuck

>>149648906
the magic's draft picks aren't valuable. Superstars go for 1-2 high potential young players+3-4 picks and swaps or a similar level player+1-2 picks if any. Also getting off of KCP is baked into those picks. It's not a bad deal for the magic at all unless you just don't believe in the rest of the team

>>149648966
>Luka wasn‘t a top 5 player at the beginning of his career
>literally an mvp candidate in his 2nd year
ok so you just admitted you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, thanks for clearing that up retard

>>149649112
hold on I am retarded for mixing up wizards with the suns kek, the point stands that it won't work

Ace Bailey is the Kevin Durant of MIchael Porter Jrs

>>149649194
Beother all they have to do is keep the game at a +0 instead of a -20 until jokic comes back in for a few minutes then watsons bum ass can sit down. You really think al horford or any backup center would get more stops than points from bradley beal

>>149648951
Theres has got to be some synergy in McCain's interest in the female cosmetics industry and VJ's

>>149649275
i think that the defensive difference between a watson at 5 and horford is greater than the offensive difference between beal and whichever primary scorer they choose to lead the non-jokic minutes. Beal would be good I agree, but they can't go into another season without a serviceable backup centre.

>>149648971
a westgod and beal reunion on the denver bench would break the nba

>nugshits and the jidf are so desperate they're trying to convince themselves that beal would be a plus
ask the snus how that went

These niggas really think Bradley Beal is the missing piece for the Nugshits LOL

>>149649365

the lithuanian bitch will play backup and like it

>>149649463
well who cares valanciunas is staying, horford's going to the warriors, and beal isn't getting bought out so it doesn't matter

>>149649079
Luka was top 10, not top 5 by his second year. Kawhi Giannis bron kd curry harden were all better players.

>The 4chan monkeys and casuals, left with no other choice but to concede that The Dallas Mavericks won The Trade, are now realizing that the big media monkeys and casuals are now also beginning to concede an absolute victory occurred and it did NOT belong to the l*kers, who are now having to face the possibility of a departing LBJ this offseason and, due to his player option kicking in at the conclusion of next season, Doncic doing the same next year, leaving the losers of The Trade to "build" around Ayton and Reaves

The time for arguments has passed and I am here only to field further apologies and concessions.

>>149649513
if valancuinas stays he is going to sabotage the team until they waive him

>>149649571
nuggets deserve that for enslaving him

>>149649517
Also ad and maybe jokic embiid and pg.

>>149649517
>>149649608
both curry and kd were out that year casual, and pg was miles worse than he was in 2019
again luka literally came in top 5 for mvp (maybe even top 3 iirc), and did that for every year until 2023, then he was back in the next year

>>149649519
nico failed if flagg doesn't put up more than vj

everyone just forgot that the nba rigged the draft for dallas

MY craptor..

>>149649592
Theyll only do that if beal doesnt get bought out

>>149649697
I struggle to believe that you actually think i didnt know steph and kd missed 2020.

Ben Simmons: 10/8/ 5 AST - 2-9 FG
Markelle Fultz: 17/2/1 -6-16 FG
Jared McCain: 15/6/3 - 6-15 FG
VJ Edgecombe: 28/10/4 - 13-27 FG

>>149649752
seems an unlikely turn of events that he gets bought out and wants to join the Nuggets, but I suppose it could happen. Still need a proper backup centre. The Lakers should be a warning.

>>149637136
LeBum isnt top 10
Jokic is the only modern player to have separated himself from the rest and deserves to be in the top 10 discussion

USA assblasting Germany in U19 FIBA WCCF

>>149641913

>>149650086
him and silver are probably cousins

>>149649952
Jokic isnt even top 20. Hes Moses Malone-tier

>>149649733
Forgot? No, I COUNTED on it. A rigged victory is still a victory, little monkey. It's not all horseshoes and gumdrops in the real world. The NBA got desperate to help one of it's currently anointed "big market" teams, the l*kers, and approached The Dallas Mavericks with a proposal:

"Play ball with one of our current big market teams by giving them a POTENTIAL (not even guaranteed) young, fresh face of the franchise, and we will, so long as you can land in the lottery "AT SOME POINT", afford you the #1 overall draft pick. We will also begin to treat you as our next big market team since we are just now realizing that we don't really have one in the south and Dallas is the 4th biggest media market in America. All that we require is one.

Simple.

Concession."

The Dallas Mavericks CONCEDED to the NBA that perhaps the l*kers would be worthy of assistance, so long as their return was great. And it was. Cooper Flagg will be the free agent beacon to light the way to Dallas for years to come. Consider that he is still only 18 years old, was putting the moves on the US Olympic team at age 17 AND it has just been reported that The Dallas Mavericks want to play him at POINT GUARD. The last time a roughly 6'8"-6'9" forward was drafted #1 overall around high school age and trusted to operate as a de facto point guard? Lebron James.

>>149647821
cause babb's always blame the White man

>>149650531
>it has just been reported that The Dallas Mavericks want to play him at POINT GUARD
I mean it helps that their only other options are dinshittie and dlo

Only pre-merger rings are real

>>149650594
The non Lebron James options available for the 2003 Cavaliers were even worse so my point still stands. Oh, and Dinwiddie joined the Hornets.

>>149648687
>>149648906
Keep in mind they also took washed-up KCP and his contract ($21.6M per season for two years) and unless something catastrophic happens it's likely that this year's #16 will end up as the highest of all picks. Their own ones in '28 and '30 should land at the end of the first round and the '29 swap is unlikely to convey. Only the '26 with swap rights is interesting but even the Wizards seem to got their shit together under Winger/Dawkins/Schlenk and multiple teams are tanking in 2026 anyway. So I agree it seems a lot but once you dissect the trade it makes sense. And there's more thing I'll mention below.

>if they were win now theyd go get giannis or something,
Not only is Bane a seamless fit for ORl, but he also the prototype of what they're missing. ORL treats Bane as the last piece of the puzzle. Sooner or later you'll have to consolidate your assets and nobody's signing with the Magic in free agency. Same goes for star trades and their list of potential destinations. This is important as ORL got their guy without giving up anybody of value, which is easily worth an extra FRP for them. Plus Bane is an anomaly himself as he vastly over-performed his 30th pick expectations. It's statistically unlikely anybody who'll be selected with these picks turn out to be as good as him.

We need a bomb from Shams otherwise this offseason will be terrible

>>149650531
LeDiddy orchestrated the trade
LeDiddy went to his rabbi the rabbi went to Miriam Adelson. The phone call between Nico & Pelinka is completely fictional, a concocked fable. Then Miriam played as if she was blindsided by the trade and complained to fellow jew Adam Silver who "made it right" by making sure the Mavs got the 1st pick in the draft.
Thats exactly what happened

now if the nuggets sign beal AND keep valanciunas...

My time in Phoenix has come to an end. All these stops along the journey have really impacted me in a positive way. Remeber it’s a world behind the scenes, and those who make things work in that space, work tirelessly to make our lives easier as players. I appreciate all the quick interactions with everybody from support staff to teammates distant cousins, it’s all a family that I’m grateful to be apart of, no matter what. I truly believe this nba is a one big community. Much love to Arizona. Houston, Can’t Wait!

oh no no no no no no no i dont even know who this is. is he that bad?

Oh my days....Nuggets are going to have a back up center playing Malik Beasley, Jontay Porter gambling hoops because he's there against his will

>>149650957
Everything teams needed to do have already been done. Anything now will just be trades for the sake of trades, or we might get a random ass move like the KAT trade a few weeks before the season.
Right now teams are just going to wait for training camp so they can get their roster down to compliance size.

>>149650796
lol so their only option is dlo

honestly he's gotta be a huge locker room cancer if phoenix didn't even want him

>>149652089
especially considering the reason he wants to leave is almost certainly tied to the fact that his wife & kids moved back to europe, he wants to go and be with them more than he wants to play in the nba. probably not the recipe for a motivated player who's going to actually try to play well for you.

>>149652089
Cant they play small for when Jokic rests?, thats like 10-12 minutes of game time, probably 30-45 minutes of real time

>>149644201
>>149644262
>>149644327
>>149644373

damn, who knew drafting the guy who was getting compared to having Russell Westbrook's athleticism would work out so well

>>149653176
Why get 77 in the Luka era? It's going to hurt your branding when the number is so synonymous with him.

>>149653331
for the same reason luka got 77

Nico's plan is almost complete,,,

How are they gonna keep valanciunas from escaping the country

>>149653417
sell him to an orange farm

good guy nba. getting us hooked on gambling and then giving us these middling worthless games to also gamble on even when the season is over.

>>149653417
Panathinaikos cant give him a contract if Nuggets don't release him. He's just not gonna play at all.

>>149652089
Letting someone get away with not honoring their contract with the team sets a bad precedent.
And if the next guy who wants to not abide by the contract they made with the Denver Nuggets happens to be a negro then there is bound to be a lawsuit over racism because they let the White guy skip out on his contract but not the negro and the in Colorado the Nuggets would almost certainly lose such a lawsuit and be force to pay at least 8 figure damages.

Lakers were a 50 win team without a center and with an injured depressed Luka. They are literally winning the championship next year

Klay sucks, swap him out for Flagg and send Bronny over with LeDiddy

why dont we have basketkey
basketball plus hockey
you got all the basketball rules, but it's on skates
you can hold the ball and keep sliding in a direction instead of standing planted while holding a ball too

KAT sucks, he was with the woofs for almost a decade and during that time they never even won their division let alone getting anywhere near a conference title and they missed the yoffs more often than making them.

This year's draft was weak. The post-Flagg falloff was atrocious. Knipple & that Russian were the only other good picks.

>>149653417
Put him on the no-fly list.

people would constantly get slashed by skates
also the ball wouldn't bounce right

ok but what about rollerball? rolledskates instead of ice skates
