Fucking hell is there another team in the nba with that much defense all around?

>>149867213
Sabo is indeed #10 on the all time trippie dubbie list. You have to be a next level talent to get the fucking Kangz into the playoffs for the first time in 18 years, afterall. Sabo was averaging more assists than Fox while also being the most consistent 20/10 guy in the league.

New breed forgets how hard it used to be to get trippie dubbies for so long. There's a reason people used to think for years that Big O's trippie dubbie season was one of the unbreakable records created at a time when the pace of the league was insane. Peak Lebron wasn't even really close to averaging trippie dubbies despite being the first real guy to do one man heliocentric offense surrounded by shooters.

Yeah, because he actually wins championships.

Cannot believe such a blatant retard made me defend fucking Lebron of all people holy shit, stat retards are literally subhuman. And AGAIN I cannot believe I am saying this while defending fucking Lebron, one of the most blatant stat padders ever. I guess Lebron actually does want to and know how to win sometimes, must be by accident.

I frankly don’t see how the women’s players have thought they deserve more money. They have been lucky to have been getting paid at all. Now some people are watching because of literally 1 player, 1. So they surely will get a raise when the new tv contracts and new player contracts come up. Aside from that the only way for them to get paid more is for the male players to give even more of their money to them. Which is frankly don’t see happening

>>149867788
>how the women’s players have thought
rookie mistake. There is no thinking involved here

It’s still crazy to me that nipple went 4th in the draft. I watched Duke all year and I was hoping he’d go in the second round. Was worried he’d go undrafted. Either I’m stupid or the nba scouts are, time will tell

I hope they push for the #6 seed. Dame won't come back until late February (post All-Star break) but even without him, assuming Holiday stays and Grant sticks around and they are healthy, they will be a tough out every night. It is pretty cringe Dame left in the first place but moda is one of the best arena's in the NBA. The real fans are anyway. No your west hills "Blazer fans" aren't really fans, it's the NE and parts of the SE that are real down and dirty Blazer "niggas", excuse the language

But I can talk to and do shit after I say it. You're a weak little bitch. Talk to me for real if you want to come at me but this 'weren't you raped' shit is tired and incel tier.

She basically is a man. What the WNBA headlines won't talk about is the 3 is closer and the ball is smaller. She has skill and she'd be a benchwarmer on a G-League team but she ain't "it". The gap between men and women is crazy as ever.

Does it say anything about your character that all you have are slanderous accusations as to my personal life? You are so ass mad I'm posting in this general that all you have are "....b-but you were le raped!" insults. Fucking pathetic. Here's the reality of the situation: I talk hoop because I know hoop. I fuck harder than you, longer than you, I'm bigger than you, and I'm smarter than you, and it's obvious that makes you insecure about your masculinity: AND THAT'S OKAY!! It's okay to feel insecure around a CHAD. I used to feel that way when I was a young little bitch entering the MANS workforce. But let's grow up: let's develop our minds and bodies and push ourselves and eachother. I encourage you to: if you don't? I don't give a shit, I still have season tickets to Crypto (and intuit box seats btw because my sister is an exec there) and I travel all over the country and see games everywhere. Yeah I'll flex on your bitch ass because I make 2x in a quater what YOU make in 2 years, lol!!!

There’s a real chance the west is even a more down to the wire bloodbath than last year. The only west teams that is not filled with young talent that can potentially be competitive , or just straight up a minimum play in level team are Jazz and Suns.
The next odd ones out are the Pelicans (healthy Zion kek) and Kings (nothing they can do to get better besides a miraculous peak by Lavine and Sabonis)

Lebeta needs to stop fucking around and announce his trade to the Cavs or Mavs already. He's been a terrorist of the Lakers franchise for too long and they need to get rid of him.

>>149868511
LeBrons current value is weird. When it’s all said and done He might end up the best player Luka has ever played with (even at his current age), but he feels like he cost a little too much and his age limits what we can expect. Yet he can be the best player in any given playoff game too.

What’s the sport of the summer in the states? Like what’s the most viewed/talked about one?

>>149868511
But the problem is that they all fucking blow ass outside maybe austin reaves. They also have (effectively) zero draft picks for the next half decade, so once Uncle Bron leaves they either scrap Reaves for assets or they have Luka carry a bunch of scrubs to the 10 seed until he's 30.

how do bad teams in the nba make money, America?

like the hornets which are consistently a lottery team., the timberwolves , the clippers, teams that consistently finish last for decades.

like who's watching them? whats the appeal?
must be like people that enjoy really bad movies too

>>149869049
It’s insane how the Westbrook trade just completely fucked the lakers . I could see the base logic: 2021 Nets had a monstrous big 3 that lost to the champs in 7 after Kyrie and Harden got injured. So Lakers thought they need a big 3 too.
Also, LeBron has seemingly always wanted a guard to take playmaking duties off so he could rest more.

>>149868984
the special dance he does to the IR list

>>149868983
The only people who celebrate have Lebeta on their team are the box score monkeys. He actively makes any team worse because he needs to have the ball in his hands 80% of the time or else he becomes a non factor. His teams were always successful because refs won't call him for his crab dribbling, bulldozing or just straight up travelling since he signed the $100 million dollar Nike contract before he even stepped foot into the league. Now he's over 40 and still being a bloodsucker as if he deserves anything more than the vet minimum and a bench role. I don't give a fuck about jersey sales, he's been an absolute cancer to this league for long enough.

>>149868954
it has more to do with him being redundant with Luka. They essentially do the same shit both good and bad. Ideally they would trade Lebron for a better fitting piece but he has a no trade clause and nobody is about to blow up their team to get a 40 year old Lebron. If Lebron took more of a backseat and locked in more on D it could work, but the man loves his boxscore numbers

>>149869179

Lakers legitimately won’t go anywhere with this team. Luka just too limited. I mean, he does nothing better than Jokic while having a worse team. Anyone expecting a playoff run are gonna be shocked.

The Blazers were 21-61 last year. They finished dead fucking last. They'd need a 20 game swing just to finish .500. If you think anything they've done this offseason is going to produce an extra 20+ wins over last year you need to put the pipe down

He gives you those stats while being a ball hog who can’t move off ball, pounding the ball the majority of a possession, and being a cone on defense.

>>149869256
No he won’t, Mavs had a MUCH better constructed team for Luka than the Lakers , and the Mavs took years to get that team.
What’s gonna happen is Luka will carry the Lakers to mediocre finishes every season

>>149867547
>defense
>mattering when the refs can just foul you out
>all those okc replies
pretty much speaks for itself

It’s so sad how fucked Luka was in this trade. I had money on the Mavs going to the finals this year. They got better while being one of OKCs best opponents.

>>149869267
>9 assists is ball hog
true since lebum averages 7 assists

>>149869114
Shocking how hard westbrook flamed out in his career
>went from triple dubbie man, MVP, multi-time all-star, and athletic archetype
>to a journeyman getting tossed around like baby oil at a diddy party

Not a terrible decision by the Lakers to get westbrook at the time, but in hindsight it was absolutely not the right move. They needed shooters and defenders to surround Bron, which they had when they won the mickey mouse chip in 2020. Bron will just have to live with 4 rings when he decides to retire at the end of this season. Lakers need to pivot right the fuck then if they want to not waste Luka's time.

>>149869267
>while being a ball hog who can’t move off ball
idk why people say this all of a sudden, but then will simultaneously say curry isnt a real pg because he doesnt touch (touches = assists) the ball enough. 90% of the players in the top 10 could not move for shit and were not quick off ball or on. And 99% of players in the NBA period, do not move off ball. Even now, they just run to the perimeter or paint.
The point is, most successful nba stars and most successful nba players period were boring stand still as your teammate posts up, or you post up. Luka will be fine.

Luka is guaranteed at least one ring if Lakers history has anything to say. No Lakers superstar has failed to get one ring on the team.

>>149869256
>luka got the mavs to the playoffs with minimal help

doncic only won a single playoff game on a supposedly better roster with the lakers and yet water heads like you think doncic, and not the mavericks defense, got them to the finals.

>>149869584
People have already started revisionist history to suck Luka off. Mavs had a 2 big rotation who can both defend and catch lobs. A bunch of great role players, like Pj Washington who raped the Thunder. And Kyrie who could get you 25 any given night. Luka looked human against the Clippers and got outplayed by SGA too.

>>149867547
yeah but will the OKC Referees allow them to actually play defense? doubt it

>>149869646
not only that but they completely ignore how the mavericks went 3-1 against the eventual champion thunder this past season and two of those victories were without doncic anyway.

On your head bitchnigga

>>149869646
Luka had a hobbled leg. He's been to the WCF before. Stop acting like those mavs players are anything but role players. They couldn't even make the playoffs last year.

>>149869584
>>149869646
>samefagging because no one else is buying your bs
lol anyone who says the mavs had any hope outside of luka are lying to themselves
pj was the butt of baby mama jokes before coming to dallas and gafford had never averaged double digit points until being traded to dallas

>>149869213
36-46 this year, goofball. They could easily win 41 or more games this year, at least participating as a play-in team.

>>149869646
TRVKE NVKE

>>149869049
>effectively zero draft picks
They aren't that bad off. They have the '26, '28, '30. and '31. None of them have been turned into pick swaps yet. I guess it is true they can't really trade the even year picks in their entirety but that's hardly as bad of a situation as a lot of other teams.

>>149869910
>and two of those victories were without doncic anyway.
Their single loss to OKC was with Luka lmao. OKC didn't have a center for any of those games, and SGA didn't play in one of them

>>149870128
>They could easily win 41 or more games this year

Oh well I take it back. They might possibly maybe win half their games? Holy fucking shit, start planning the parade now.

Well then it's kind of odd how Brunson left than then Luka not only made it back to the WCF but to the NBA finals. How many finals has Brunson been to?

Luka will remind everyone who he is next year.

>>149870633
He had Kyrie carrying him afterwards.
>How many finals has Brunson been to?
Brunson wiped the floor with the team that swept Luka in the finals while he was getting knocked out in the first round with lemickey.

It doesn't matter because apparently you can't win with Luka. You just can't, he is not a winning player

>>149871556
Naw. He'd have to bust his ass and improve a ton. The skill level of the the dubiously 6'3 guard in the NBA is crazy. His only real path is getting into peak shape (so he could become a real defensive threat) and becoming a knockdown open 3 point shooter. And then he'd have a real case for making any bench in the league.

lol this airhead saw a comment on X and thought he could farm up a bunch of (you)s on 4chan by pretending it was his own unique thought since that's where he goes to find other losers to agree with his stupid bullshit. he doesn't even realize that the WNBA's new media deal alone GUARANTEES a 9 figure profit annually starting in 2026 and for many years to come so he looks like an even bigger clown than usual

>high school boys make 0 dollars playing basketball
>so somehow we deserve to make millions

>>149883696
starting in 2026, the wnba media deal money goes from 45 to 200 million USD, which means they go from being 8 figures in the red to 9 figures in the green.

in other words, this is when you and other incels who hate being reminded that there are women both taller and more athletic than you learn that the wnba will finally become a GUARANTEED MONEY MAKER for at least the next 10 years, and no amount of impotent rage will prevent this from happening.

So who is going to end up subsidizing the league then?
>leftist media ends up subsidizing the league when they fail to secure adequate advertising during the games
or
>leftist corporations end up subsidizing the league by buying TV ads that nobody watches
It's gonna be one of those two. Somebody's gonna take a huge loss on this.

>>149884002
If they struggle to sell ad space or get shit ratings then it's the problem of the networks who bought the rights to the games. Regardless, the TV deal is locked in for a long time, and during that time the league will be making money.

There is no problem with the players negotiating hard for their new CBA. The men failed to do this and now they have the second apron raping them in free agency.

Meal.

>>149883742
They shouldn’t get more money if the league isn’t profitable. It’s basic economics

>>149884070

Yeah if the teams start turning a profit I agree.

>>149884039
>If they... get shit ratings then it's the problem of the networks who bought the rights to the games.
I mean, not necessarily. They might still sell tons of ads despite having shit ratings. This would work like this:
>their ratings are shit
>corporations buy ads during the games anyways
>Larry Fink rewards the corporations with low interest loans
So it ends up being Fink/Blackrock taking the financial hit.

Rockets are gonna be a problem next season

>>149885864
thought the lakers were trading knecht not reaves

>>149886150
hopefully both

>>149886150
They ain't trading anyone. LeUnc isn't going anywhere, he's just making his usual self-destructive offseason stink of things. Reaves is too productive for how much he is getting paid, and there's already reports of Lakers and Reaves in agreement for an extension next season. Knecht killed his trade value shitting it up in summer league. It's just Lebron being bored and reporters generating clickbait of the most popular team in the league.

>>149886187
probably the best option if theyre serious about building around luka tbf

>3 all-stars
>1 fringe all-star
What is stopping you from respecting this team?

>>149886215
keeping Reaves as the Kyrie/Brunson of the team and trading LeOld and Knecht for more athletic 3+D wings and/or a run/dunk big is the optimal team build. I doubt that's actually possible though.

>>149886377
put down the crack pipe

>>149886469
Bam was an all star in 2020 and 2023.
Wiggins was an all star in 2022.
Herro was an all star in 2025
Powell almost made the team in 2025.

>>149886426
No one wants LeThirdoption

>>149886531
>>149886377
What's stopping me or anyone from respecting them is their w/l record. Butler being there and carrying them for 5 years got a lot of them into the All-Star game that shouldn't have. Record lets players into the All-star game it shouldn't. See the Hawks with Teague and Korver in 2015, Middleton EVER, DeAndre Jordan in 2017, Mike Conley in 2021, I could go on but you get the picture.

>>149886531
making an allstar game doesn't make you an allstar tier player. Nobody is out here calling d-lo and jeff teague allstars. As is it's Bam (3rd option on a legit team) and a bunch of overpaid bums who vanish in the playoffs

>>149886573
>got a lot of them into all-star games
Herro became an all-star without Jimmy. Only Bam was an all-star with Jimmy there and that's irrelevant since they were only a 1st seed once in 2022. Bam was all-star in years they were a lower seeded team.

>>149886582
Bam is an all-star and isn't a d-lo or teague tier player. That's disrespectful to Bam. Most people on the league coaches and players see him as an actual all-star tier player. That's why he got more playing time over your favorite mutt Tatum in the Olympics. Teague and D-lo would never be the best player on their team during a finals series even a loss. You people have been so gaslit by the tranny discord and the mainstream media it's insane.

>>149886573
Also you admitted to being raped so your opinion is worthless. Let me guess you suddenly think the Mavs are championship contenders because they have AD and Kyrie, two players with injury issues in recent years who will only get older? The Lakers suddenly aren't a first round exit team because they have Ayton and a washed Smart? The media says the names are good so they must be right?

the Heat have five third options and no playmakers

>>149886769
>Let me guess you suddenly think the Mavs are championship contenders because they have AD and Kyrie, two players with injury issues in recent years who will only get older?
No need to guess: if the Mavs are currently contructed are healthy they are definitely championship contenders.
>The Lakers suddenly aren't a first round exit team because they have Ayton and a washed Smart? The media says the names are good so they must be right?
I don't know what the Lakers will be right now but my personal opinion is we need to move on from LeBron and build the team around Luka. LeBron isn't worth a max anymore, let alone more than $30 million. I hope we trade him, but it is likely they roll with LeBron and Luka at least for the 1st half of next season and go from there.

>>149886744
If they have 3 All-stars why did the barely squeak in as the 8 seed and get swept by the Cavs? Do you really wonder why they aren't respected?

Bam might be the most mid All-star of all time. He's Chet-tier.

>>149886922
At least chets black

Bam is less versatile John Collins with better PR

>>149886922
And yet he got more playing time than Tatum in the Olympics and had more impact than him in the small time Gaytum played too.

>>149886951
>Bam
>PR
He gets negative PR. You think a media that constantly attacks Pat Riley and his team has good PR? You're a deranged tranny.

>>149886824
Because their star player refused to play until he was traded. You don't think team drama can affect a groups morale?

What's stopping you from respecting this team? They have four all-stars (Brook Lopez isn't pictured).

>>149886989
>Because their star player refused to play until he was traded. You don't think team drama can affect a groups morale?
That's fair enough. I'll reserve judgement until the conclusion of this season, but I don't see this current Miami team placing higher than the 5 seed next year.

>>149886531
the heat are the only team to get swept in the playoffs last year (no we aren't counting morant getting injured)
>>149886922
bamlet is a casual all-star that has little utility the moment he isn't the tallest player on the floor

Who's stopping a healthy 76ers?

>>149887007
Heat got swept in 2021 also. 2022 and 2023 they were a top team in the east. People disrespected them at the time too. People called their bubble run fraudulent despite the future proving that the fraudulent run was the Bucks 2021 run.

Bam is never the tallest player on the floor and he still became an all-star. You don't watch games. How many Heat games you watched last season? Or in Bams all star seasons? You likely only watch Laker games, Warrior games or whatever the media tells you to watch then parrot their talking points because you think it makes you sound smart. Typical liberal mindset. You're an NPC. You have no original thought of your own.

>>149887000
All of them are out of their primes. It's over for them

>>149887056
Btw I'm not saying they will be a top team. Just saying that the playoffs results doesn't mean much for the next season.

>>149887004

>And yet he got more playing time than Tatum in the Olympics and had more impact than him in the small time Gaytum played too.
Because he's a roleplayer and plays like one, just like Booker. Tatum outplayed him in 2020 at Tokyo when they were both getting playtime.

As is Tatum.

>Tatum outplayed him in 2020 at Tokyo when they were both getting playtime.
And Bam bitched Gaytum in the 2020 conference finals.

>>149887222
How is McCain playing recently?

Two HOF coaches with a combined 11 rings thought that Bam Adebayo would help them win more than Gaytum and they were right. Meanwhile jeets with missing male genitalia will tell you these championship coaches are wrong.

>>149890269
JV isn't going to Greece anymore?
Crazy
>Then he goes to Warriors

>>149888401
some point i thought my goat was going bald soon but that mature hairline been holding up

hey guys

>>149890278
it's the agent's fault that JV was offered to Greece even though he still had his NBA contract. without him there'd be no drama to begin with.
Jokic reached out to him in the end, and people saying JV doesn't want to deputize Jokic is wrong because a year ago he was interviewed in his native language and when he's asked is there a Center he'd want to be a backup to he answered Jokic.

>>149890266
No shit. But the type of shit tatum was doing looked counterproductive to a recovery. We will see, and when he gets hurt again remember my post romani

>>149890307
curgoat is like 37. if you dont show any signs of balding by 28 you're good and don't have the balding gene

>>149890313
oh hey

>>149890255
scared?

>>149890431
Very

>>149890431
>scared?

Nah

Do WE believe in the antman playmaking leap?

>>149890800
No he has no clutch gene or killer instinct.
No mamba mentality
There is a reason he doesn't want to be the face of the league despite being flashy and having a pleasing aesthetic (kinda like Jordan)

>>149890800
No. Wolves just need a real PG so he can go back to destroying teams defenses with his slashing, and now his improved 3 point shot. ANT seems like a player that really benefits from his role being simplified.

>wake up
>amen thompson is still a top 5 defender
>alperen sengun is still a top 5 center
>kevin durant is still a top 5 player
>all 3 play for MY houston rockets
Yep, it's ring time.

Yup.

>>149891768
That's what I said 2 or 3 threads ago. But some amerifat started calling me retarded for that.
But actually Amerifats are the retarded ones, they don't even understand or know ball, their own fucking sport. That's why Europeans dominate their league.

>>149889961
oof! not okay

>>149892015
>their own fucking sport
umm, excuse me?

Why aint joe johnson your favorite hooper and your favorite hooper's favorite hooper? :)

you can't walk past them in the street because they're so wide
you have to just find a nook and wait until they pass

National Basketball Association (NBA), professional basketball league formed in the United States in 1949
SGA is not the best in the league keep dreaming.
He is not even top 10 in my opinion

>>149892943
Kek

>>149892954
You don't know ball.

>>149892954
you said sport, not league

>>149892970
Ok I guess

>>149892969
I take Booker over SGA any day

Dude would avg 16 points at best if he wasn't a freethrow merchant.

i would also take booker over syphilis gonorrhoea-aids

>>149893026
How can someone glaze someone with 8/22 FG and 51% in best form is beyond me.
Retards

>>149893026
He'd average 24 and still be the highest in the league. Yurobums just can't accept that a canadian man out of nowhere is greater than the fake DEI stars like Jokic, Giannis, and Luka the league has been pushing the past decade.

why they hatin on my nigga

>>149893006
ant owns you

>>149893046
Euros and BAWBs still glaze Dirk going 9 - 27 so dont give me that trash.

>>149893100
>>149893054
Dirk played against on of the best defence in league history
SGA was guarded by Christian Braun against Denvee stfu
Dirk is an icon

>>149893063
Those lips are getting bigger every time I see them

This says it all >>149893109

>>149893094
Kek, now give Luka a real team

>>149893109
>doesn't count
2011 Heat were not one of the best defenses in league history you clown. SGA had 53 FG% against BAWBraun and the Nuggets, who had to spend an entire series in zone doubling him every possession just to stop him lmao.

I swear to god you euros can only see things from height merchants and statpadder viewpoints. The 2 greatest SGd both had finals shooting under 45% from the field, and DWade needed 20 FTs a game to win his first chip. All y'all see is efficiency since height merchants like chokic would rather stay efficient and not shoot instead of trying to actually win games.

>>149893138
Now post 2011

>>149893143
>height merchant
So SGA is better than Shaq to you because Shaq was tall?

You are retarded

>>149893143
TRVKE

>>149893158
Jeet is trying to be the next /nba/ lolcow, don't give him too much attention

>>149893158
They play different positions. SGA doesn't become a liability in the 4th quarter and didnt get swept during his first finals appearance though.

>>149893173
Dirk is PF retard

>>149893166
>giving a modern day great his flowers in a biased general is being a lolcow
Is there mercury in yuro water or something?

You literally only hate him because he's gone up against your pushed yuro "superstars" and you can't stand a black Canadian man being better than triple dubbie statpadders who only play one side of the court.

>>149893166
Yeah he is retarded

>>149893203
You just mentioned Shaq retard.

>>149893216
You literally started comparing PF Dirk to SGA retard >>149893100
Do you want me to say Tim Duncan is that any better to you retard

how will BABBs cope when topic replaces sga next season?

you get a B+ and the (you) because you otherwise told the truth but this really could've been an easy A+
