I think a lot of free agents are waiting for the Kuminga, Cam and Giddey situations to be resolved.

>>150393105
Warriors are waiting to sign like 4+ guys after dealing with Kumnigga. And the Kumnigga situation is going to drag on for another month

is this the eurobasket thread?

>>150393389
I think they should really just trade him for Nick Richard’s and a second, I don’t get the point of keeping him on a qualifying offer and benching him another year

>>150393821
Unless we get an eurobasket general, will be

kevinwaynedurant....

Does anyone care to explain what exactly is happening here?

>>150394788
We are waiting for two top tier player to be free agents and give them the best possible contract.

Greece is getting punked.
Sarr and Risacher look good.
Cordinier is balling, apparently he was a second rounder in 2016 and never made the league.

>>150394788
Bulls have a lot of mid players they can't trade but also don't want to extend.

>>150394864
Doesn't Karnisovas know that free agency is dead? How does he still have a job?

>>150394946
Reinsdorf is an even bigger retard

>>150394946
This free agency is showing that teams with cap space actually don't have a lot of competition and it might be the new meta.

>>150394900
Sarr and Risacher can play. Even coulibally looked nice today

I can play

I will die with ZERO fucking real rings to my name im so mad im sucking an extra hairy COCK tonight

Dwight...

I hope Giannis and his brothers never play for Greece again after this tournament

>>150395901
why?

>>150396060
they're terrible

A ring is a ring but looking at giannis makes you realize he always disappoints. Greece or mke dude always falls short. But this is only a friendly so i might as well shut up

Da Bulls

>>150396380
giannis is a durant toe--or a reckless close out injuring kyrie, or a harden hammy--away from having a career more disappointing than embiid

>>150396547
It is sort of disrespectful to make these hypotheticals but if it wasnt for 2021 giannis would be a 7 time first teamer, 4 time all defensive teamer, 2 times mvp, 1 time dpoy whos biggest feat is making the ecf in the 2010s the year lebron left and kemba walker started the asg. This would be way worse than embiid.

>>150396744
Giannis is not nearly as much of an off-court KWAB as Emsneed.

>>150396830
The cucker of cameroon
The fucker of france
The mercenary of murica
The phony of philadelphia

y’all still seething about embiid?

>>150397058
"Seething" is reserved for players who win titles. I laugh about him and sometimes feel bad for him. A month ago there was this article and the guy seems depressed as shit. And he doesnt answer phone messages because the day his brother died he ignored calls until he finally picked up and got the bad news. Ever since a ringing phone or notification sound gets his heart racing. Its sad

oldheads….

Every player needs injury luck to win a ring

>>150397408

last one i could tolerate was 17. in 2019 when the servers went down, i lost everything i had earned in mycareer. never making that mistake again. live service game devs can suck start a shotgun.

>>150397464
Nigga are you somehow forgetting Kevin Garnetts career altering injury? You're retarded if you think that didnt play a part in 2010, just because you can play, doesnt mean the injury didnt affect your play. And the stats reflect it anyway. Let alone eye test.

Personally I hate the injury tax because its too lenient. Retards act like the Warriors were going to lose to the grizzlies in 2015, if their shitty PG totally wasnt injured. People act the same about 2018, and act the same about 2022.
I wont even mention 2017, because youre genuinely retarded if you think that warriors team was losing to Kawhi. We've seen Kawhi on better teams, choke dozens of times to worse teams than those warriors. Just delusional.

>>150397464
KG was never the same after his knee injury

>>150397698
The 09 celtics were better than the 09 celtics and the 2011 celtics were great until shaq (who was way better than the celtics shaq meme implies) got hurt

>>150397408
Dirk needed to be lucky enough that Lebron couldn't back down a 5'8 guy.

>>150397698
People overrated that 2017 g1 kawhi to comical degrees. They werent winning that series

>>150397698
But Kobe’s knee injury doesn’t count?

Holy mother of kino

>>150398224
I never said it does. Im just tired of Kobe "he had da hardest rings ever" glazing.

>>150394788
lebum goat league in 2 years so everybody's goin UFA and leavin the cringe BA

from the beginning to the end
losers lose, winners win

>>150396060
You know why

>>150398351
Crazy Curry couldn’t win 2FMVPs against worse comp than Kobe

>>150399485
r-real as fuck...dat cavs team was bums...would get 4-0'd by the celtics lebum lost to them on a better record team already...

The NBA is skibidy toilet and I'm tired of pretending it's not.

>>150397698
>>150397856
Kawhi was eating the dubs for breakfast in that series. SA absolutely would have won if he was healthy.

>>150399799
lmao
narratives are so lovely, because theyre so convenient. can craft an entire "reality" from so little.

>>150399834
were you even watching?

>Warriors lose in 2015 against healthy Cavs
>Warriors lose in 2017 against healthy Spurs
>Warriors lose in 2018 against healthy Rockets
>Warriors lose in 2022 against healthy Nuggets

Reality

>>150400004
Damn...every championship would conveniently be a fraud then for a so called dynasty...

>>150400004
Warriors never beat competition, relative to their strength. Beat an injured Cavs team starting Iman Shumpert, Jr Smith, Matthew Dellavedova and Timothy Mozgov. Lost the very next year and had to add KD to get fake rings.

>if
>almost
>would have
>should have
so tired of this loser talk

>>150400004
Reality is the dubs won all 4 of those years

>>150400975
This is the obvious truth to anyone not retarded. They also win 2016 with Curry not injured and Draymond not suspended. Game 7 was so down to the wire, and Curry's movement was so stilted that its crazy.

I want to rewatch that game and see if Curry was getting doubled a lot that game. I know he got clamped up hard by Kev Love on that last 3 he took. Which to me is prove of how fucked his movement was, but who knows.

Every other season they won though, yeah they were winning 100%

>>150390375

>>150388159
Even then though, Tatum and Brown had been dealing with injuries throughout the reg season,

I respect the Celtics to where if their bench was as deep and durable as OKC's, I think they can bounce back,

they really didn't lose much, Kristaps was pozzed and sick, Holiday and Old Al were old as fuck, and each have replacements now,

Personally I like Mazulla's style, its team basketball and building a point firewall is what demoralizes opposing teams, imagine Mazulla's style with OKC, that I mentioned prior, they'd probably beat every team they faced in 4 if everyone could chuck 3s full on magnet ball

Anyone have that photo of MPJ where his butt looks big?

>>150398298
I guess they're called basketball americans for a reason...

>>150403073
They gonna win like 30 games this season.

This is literally not real. No basketball team is dumb enough to quadruple team literally anyone unless its a meme image. How many players have lost scoring 40+ points btw? This shit doesnt mean anything for the actual teams that play, if theyre not retarded

Obvious ragebait

https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/46067559/shohei-ohtani-launches-45th-home-run-dodgers-top-padres
>SAN DIEGO -- A heckler next to the Los Angeles Dodgers' dugout spent his entire Sunday giving an earful to the visitors, including a nonstop barrage of digs and chirps at Shohei Ohtani for his hitless performance in a portentous weekend series against the San Diego Padres.
>When Ohtani crushed his 45th homer and delivered the knockout blow in the ninth inning of the Dodgers' 8-2 victory, the normally decorous three-time MVP detoured on his way back to the dugout to slap hands -- and get the last word -- with the chagrined Padres fan.
Why is Shohei Ohtani MUCH more masculine and strong-minded than LeBron James?

There’s a chance I die next week. So anyways, here are my final takes ;

>Harper will bust
>Shai will be regarded will be regarded as the 3rd greatest SG of all time
>Jokic wins one more late(ish) career championship.
>Nick Kerr will be a Hall of Fame coach
>LeBron gets hit by steroid scandal, but only after his career is finished
>The Chicago Bulls will win a championship again by 2040.
>Wemby will not play more than another 10-11 years. Injuries will cost him a chunk of his prime.
>The Lakers will not win a championship in the Luka era
>Dwight Howard will come out as Pansexual (he got that Wayne Brady energy)
>Shaq will not be alive a decade from now

>>150406048
>>Nick Kerr will be a Hall of Fame coach
This is guaranteed
>>Dwight Howard will come out as Pansexual
Didn't this already happen? He's admitted to having consensual sex with men and women.

>>150405578
I dont follow baseball but shohei is based

>>150406048
I hope you survive

>>150406048
>Anti-Wemby retard

Do you hate French people or something??

Looking at Wemby his stretching and conditioning i'd argue will keep him ok, unlike Yao Ming he isn't too heavy and sports science like Lebron and Curry do will help him

Jokic isn't even halfway through his prime...

>>150406170
Name one 7’5+ Center who had a long prime, free of major injuries. Nevermind one with an all star workload

>>150405194

>>150406279
Name a Gen Z center of the same height, who dealt with injuries??

Im just saying sports and science and etc, once Bron retires league is going all in on Wemby being the new face of the league,

Shai's name is too hard to say and he's Canadian, Zion is a fat pig who will be out of league soon, Edwards has off court problems similar to Antonio Brown with his 10 baby mommas, Luka is a wild card, but his lack of dunking/athletism and defense wont help him, and his english is shaky,

The only realistic take here is Shaq dying in the next 5 or 10 years, looks like he lost some weight but relapsed and gained it back and he talks about sleep apnea and had hip surgery too

>>150406878
No, and especially not routinely at half court.

>>150406878

Paige Beuckers or whatever obviously isnt Curry, and I dont even mean that shes not as good because shes obviously not. But she shot 3 THREES in her 44 point game and shes getting Quadruple teamed at the 3 point line? Nigga make that make sense WNBA is a joke of a league.
Honestly quadruple teaming Curry is retarded too, but atleast it makes half sense because Curry is 6'3 and if hes covered by 4 guys taller than him, its hard to make the pass out that he needs to to take advantage of the open space hes created for teammates.

>>150406365
This one is the most hilarious one, legit looks edited.

>>150407474
why is the left timberwolves player phasing out of existence

Imagine Lebron if he could read... now click on picrel...

>>150407474
Haha, I didn't notice. It is edited.
A triple team at half court is still silly.

>>150407525
What are you talking about? LeBron can read. Just the first pages though

>>150407651
My bigotry showed. I apologise.

If you have to pick between being born with Kds height and skillset, Lebron's athleticism, Curry's shooting, or Kyrie's handle, what do you pick

>>150407689
Lebron has the most money so clearly that one

>>150407721
It's still you though. If you had Lebron's athleticism with your personality, you may not make the same amount of money. Maybe more, maybe less, maybe none at all. Only you know

>>150407689
KD's height and skillset is the closest to a guarantee of making the NBA, followed by Curry's shooting.

>>150407689
>would you rather have the entire skillset and height of a hall of famer, or one particular skill from a different hall of famer?
Retarded fucking question, it's obviously KD. No offence though.

>>150407758
>>150407849
I think I did frame the question incorrectly. I added "and skillset" to KDs description because there are plenty of guys with his height

>>150407689
The average anon here with kds height and skills could walk up to any nba team demand a max and get it.

>>150407983
Maybe his height with his coordination or something

>>150408015
Yeah the question was dumb.

>>150408015
Not me because the NBA discriminates against my kind. Look at Giddey for example.

>kobe is the GOAT
>huh? how?
>mamba mentality, bag, eye test, no superteam, no weakness, 81, MJ's bogeyman, toughest era, will to win. Need I go on?

>>150408103
Its that toughest era argument that makes me angry, I can't disagree with it.

>retard asks retarded question where one choice is far and away the correct choice and it's not remotely close
>even more retarded Bronsexual still manages to get it wrong
Bronsexuals, ladies and gents.

nobody with eyes would have think that Kobe was a better basketball player than MJ, even if you just limit it to 2nd 3-peat MJ. You can go put on their games right now and see that MJ's control and feel for the game is much greater than Kobe's

>>150397408
In 10 years Jokic has played less than 70 games one time and that year he played 69. A guy tried to go knee-to-knee with him once and it ended with Jokic being fine and the other guy out for the season after Jokic trampled him

Giannis has played 12 years and averages 72 games played per year. Hyperextended his knee in the playoffs so badly everyone thought he was done for a year and came back one series later to win finals MVP

Anthony Edwards, overrated meme though he may be, has never played less than 72 games

LeBron is 598 years old and just played 70+ games in consecutive seasons

Anybody *can* get hurt through bad luck but outside of fluke plays injuries aren't entirely random. Some dudes are built like tanks and some guys are glass cannons. Throwing a pity party for guys like Embiid or Derrick Rose and playing the what-if game overlooks that the frailty that damaged their career was an inherent trait. You could replay their careers 100 different ways and it would end the same way. Rose injured himself while jumping without any contact by an opposing player. What was he gonna do, not jump for 15 years?

Being able to endure the game is part of the game. Saying "what if player X stayed healthy" is not much different than saying "what if player x was a better shooter?" or "what if player x was a foot taller?" Well, they weren't. You get credit for reality, not the imaginary version of yourself that magically lacks the flaws you had IRL.

Jokek has 10 more prime years to win rings and MVPs...

>>150409961
You cannot prove their injuries were the result of inherent fragility rather than luck.

>>150410439
It doesn't matter if it was luck or inherent fragility. All that matters is that they got injured and that they never won a championship. It's like real life. A girl won't be attracted to you when you ask her to imagine how you would look like if you were tall and handsome and had a great personality. She will only be attracted to you because of what you are now and if you are not any of that she will move on to the next guy.

Why would we waste time imagining what Embiid and Rose could have been if they weren't injured all the time when we had players like Shaq and MJ that showed us in real life what it was like. It sucks but that's how it works unfortunately. No one really cares about the what ifs, only what they have actually witnessed with their own eyes

>>150409432
He accepted that offer before he ever hit free agency because his dad was sick

I deserve a Paige GF

>>150411661
on what basis?

>>150410439
Joel Embiid couldn't even finish his one college season, sat out two years because of stress fractures before he'd even started his career, has repeatedly torn the meniscus in both knees, and broken parts of his face on three separate occasions. Nobody's so unlucky to experience constant head to toe injury issues on an annual basis without an underlying cause. Either he's been trapped in a vortex of statistical improbability for a decade or he's just fragile

>>150412079
>Nobody's so unlucky to experience constant head to toe injury issues on an annual basis without an underlying cause.
I mean, he's alive at age 31. Plenty of people die before that age. So he's luckier than all of them.
He's also a millionaire, so, actually, he's luckier than most people.

>>150411515
I've heard a lot of explanations for Scottie taking that unusually long-term deal but none of them really make any sense. The "I needed to secure the money now" part is just illogical because if he'd taken the normal deal literally everyone else was taking at the time he'd still be making millions and that was millions in 80's dollars so...a lot.

If he got hit by a bus five minutes after signing that contract and had to retire he'd still be richer than he ever imagined. And he had additional income from endorsements by then, too. He locked himself into a pennies on the dollar deal to mitigate a non-existent risk. There's no scenario where that's the smart move, which is why no one else was taking those sorts of deals.

>>150412148
As far as I know he's never been struck by lightning or bitten by a shark and other people have, so I guess he's luckier than them, too? Not sure where you're trying to go with this

>>150412534

>Rose injured himself while jumping without any contact by an opposing player. What was he gonna do, not jump for 15 years?
Good point especially for Rose. I see retards telling me that DRose would have been better than Curry if he never got injured. Crazy world we live in.

>>150414110
>Curry
Retard. You don't know anything.

I have heard no other player more enamored by old heads who arent media talking heads and perma online freaks, than Curry, the amount of times ive seen "I love MJ, and he will always be the GOAT but curry is the closest ive seen a player play with style and flourish blah blah blah" im paraphrasing.

I am of the zoomer class, so I've seen zoomers talk about Lebron, even transgirls.

What people "love" about Lebron is the narrative of dominance. A 6'9 250+ pound guy barreling down the lane and dunking in the net. I've seen a trans girl react with a Lebron dunk gif on Twitter.

Its borderline impossible to watch Curry and not want to play the game of basketball yourself, or be enamored by the skill it takes to play with a basketball.

You're a retard and a loser. And don't know what youre talking about. MJ and Kobe did the same for basketball. They made the sport lovable. Getting rid of all these biology gifted braindead big guys, who one dimensionally skyhook, and/or dunk, but also conveniently are all also "good at defense" because duuuude its totally not super easy and fucking braindead to be good at defense when youre tall and have arms longer than some peoples bodies.

Why do we fucking pretend like defense is this super high skilled thing again? There are so many ways to pass a basketball, shoot a basketball, dribble a basketball, not to mention offense can be proactive and reactive. Defense is fundamentally two dimensional, and fundamentally reactive.

People act like defensive Gods just inherently impact the game more because "le two way" characterization. No. One dimensional players actually impact greater. People dont talk about this. But Bill Russel was so one dimensionally gifted that he dominated an entire era that Wilt Chamberlain, a true two way machine was playing in.

All that matters is the skillset to win. Not these arbitrary standards of "two way vs one way".

Thoughts?

Why would anyone like LeBron outside of their interest in basketball? He's not really likeable. I mean, I'll give him credit for not being some half-assed wannabe gangster like Ja or something something but his personality seems so manufactured.

He's a corporate shill who sucks chinese cock because it's profitable but still occasionally hops on the wokeshit bandwagon to cry about the hot button topic of the day. You know, as long as it's not about sweatshop labor or the Dali Lama or anything that might get him in trouble. He has all these intellectual pretensions but everyone knows he's not reading those books and his schools are just rubber-stamping illiterate students for the sake of appearances. And let's not forget he's a front-runner who either abandons or trades away his teammates any time he can better his own situation because he doesn't actually care about them or the fans. LeBron only cares about LeBron and always has. He's a bland, soulless, manufactured commodity.

>>150414110
>Basketball is the only sport where half the fans are just fans of the player
Nah, I'd say 80% are just in for the drama. Look at reddit. Even they themselves admitted that they don't even watch the games and only keep up with the drama. The nba is basically those housewife reality shows for men.

>>150415712
Right now, I'd say the most 25 mil. But if he can shoot 3s consistently, then I can maybe consider 30 mil. But then I'm not sure if the nuggets have the cap space to give him that

>>150415712
Probably 8-15 million yearly over the the course of 3 years, so do the math 30-40 mill in total,

No hatred towards him but he's a roleplayer and has the archetype of one, granted hes quite young but he doesn't have that look either to evolve into a Haliburton or Harden (bench guy becomes the guy), he's more of the pinnacle of a generic white guy #3942

Ayesha is ready for the season

>>150415778
>>150415777
I think he could get in the 20 mil or upward per year range with another team with the cap rising. Then again with the apron now role players arent gonna get big contracts as much. His defense on SGA was pretty good in the finals and he's athletic but yeah he needs a 3 pointer or his bag will get helped

>>150415794
Ready for her bull Lebron James

>>150415849
Teams arent gonna be handing out big contracts like that anymore especially if they already got 2 maxes

>>150415827
>>150415849
So far everything is debatable. If Barnacle Boy moves the second apron, then fine, pay everyone. But if you just pay guys no matter how much the cap goes up, you’re still eating cap space and stuck in the 1st or 2nd apron regardless.

The hope is the second apron gets reworked so teams like the Celtics don’t have to rapid rebuild, and the Nuggets don’t have to trade a 3rd guy just to get four guys and a couple minimums back, if Nuggets win another ring this new season, it just means more teams lowball players, and the whole point of the NBA is to get the bag.

That’s why OKC is screwed next season with those dumb $50M contracts. They’ll lose their role players when they kick in, no guarantee the rookies develop right, and Presti has a retarded obsession with Euro projects who keep busting, Poku, Dieng, and now "Malevy Leons"

>>150415897
Exactly,

15 million a year, take it or leave it,

If he cries for 30 million let him walk, he's not worth that amount, this retarded thing is "pay us or we'll walk" are shilled by retarded agents,

No team is fucking signing him for that lmao, only the wizards, hornets, jazz or any shitty tanking team, and then what, they lose and lose and be known as the fag who cried over spilled milk and retired a loser on a losing team

>>150415337
The only one in the conversation even would be Hakeem, but he's still be fighting for a spot with Kareem, Bill Russell, Wilt, and Shaq

>>150416001
Depends if silver actually believes in parity enough to tank the ratings for the forseeable future.
>That’s why OKC is screwed next season with those dumb $50M contract
If OKC dont repeat or get another ring before they turn into celtics 2.0 or those draft picks dont turn into perfect replacements for eg. Caruso presti is gonna get clowned hard. The coming flash sale will be interesting though, caruso could end back up on the Lakers or something if he doesn't decline

>>150416001
>That’s why OKC is screwed next season with those dumb $50M contracts
It's a "thank you" contract for winning the ring, just like Jamal Murray's max contract. But i agree with the rest, the 2nd apron really screwed the entire league

>>150416034
There's gonna be mass role player crashouts over getting "lowball" contracts in the next few years I imagine. I'd be seething too if i missed the gravy train where every nigga who could put up 5 points gets 10 million dollars

>>150416039
Its funny to me, I just got into basketball,

I can drum up more euro basketball player names than ethnic African continental hoopers and those euro player held the reins to winning team ring or getting to the finals,

Other than Hakeem, is there any true African Hooper who held the reins to a team?,

Festus, Pascal, Kuminga, Mutombo, all were 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th sometimes 6th options

>>150416113
The Bahamas anon said it right a month or so ago - African players drafted post 2010 don't have the sauce. They wont even play for their own team at the olympics half the time

If only draymond didnt have a small dick..

>>150416198

>>150416101
Other than Harden from OKC to Houston, I feel like it’s a loose fallacy seeing a 3rd or 4th option starting player walk just because they didn’t get $30 million, even though the FO explains, "hey we can’t fucking pay you that amount, you missed like 20 games as well."

In this modern league, the implication is ?oh this player will go to the Lakers, Miami, Celtics, or Dallas, like some high seed team." In reality, that’s not possible. If Shai was lowballed, you really think any of those teams I mentioned would pay him the bag and he’d just hoop with ease? Um, no. Remember you dumbfuck it was OKC’s coaching, the system in place, the vibes, Shai’s role players helped him get that ring. The defense covered him and gave him clean looks to drive to the rim and chuck 3s. So no, take it or walk. Exactly, you won’t walk, retard, unless you wanna lose on the trash-ass Wizards or Hornets, while they chant "MVP" as you shoot your next free throw

The reason I’m venting is because this is what I hear from retarded fans defending the excessively high supermaxes. They don’t realize this is one fucking human being, and when they get hurt, the team falls apart, like Tatum, for example, and Brown as well missing games

And again as I said prior, if Denver wins, we'll see more FO's lowball, the player will run to another team only to get "lowballed" and then players will accept lower amounts to duck the apron, and then that will make Barnacle boy realize how retarded the second apron is, cause it will be bad PR and look like slavery so players can get the ring, all star, and legacy, and then he'll remove it entirely cause it was retarded to begin with

>>150416180

I was a key part of a championship team, but I never get the credit I deserve...

>>150416309
The pacers are an interesting look into how we might see teams try to build to avoid the apron desu. If you just looked at the pieces you'd think they were maybe an early ECF exit but they were mariana trench deep and had a roster full of guys you could count on to make a few buckets then switch out. We're seeing more and more teams end up with fuck all depth or bum ass players because they spent half the cap on two guys, there should realistically only be a few supermaxes in the league rn. Agree about teams falling apart too, makes you realize how freakish/lucky dudes like LeBron and Jokic are going without major injuries often

>>150416069
Well said,

Granted I think we'll probably see the second apron probably get removed, it just exists as a platitude of chaos, and the intent is obvious

>oh you paid to keep this player now your team is fucked and you have to trade and waive guys to refresh the team and avoid the luxury taxes

It'll just look stupid to see a team fall apart in real time especially a team your a fan of,

>presti is gonna get clowned hard.

The thing is, he’s kind of a retard. He traded McDaniels to get Poku, who didn’t last long on the team, and he traded Senguin just to get picks that never turned into anything valuable. Because they dumped Sengun, they had to overpay for IHart when they could’ve just developed the center they drafted.

He also could’ve asked for Zubac or Landry Shamet along with SGA, instead of Gallinari but didn’t.

Then he drafted Topic, whose draft stock fell because of his ACL tear, signed a 25-year-old G League guy who averaged 10 points, and Dieng is still raw and hasn’t cracked the rotation, and yet he traded off Giddey who is the same age, and who avged a triple double on Chicago the moment he debuted and led the squad to a game buzzer winner over LA

Overall, he’s got a weird obsession with Euro players and they’ve all failed/busted on this team.

This retard really thinks he's smarter than Presti, the only guy that actually understood the second apron's implications and voted against it lol

In 2 years, OKC is gonna be just SGA, Chet, J dub, j will and 10 rookies lmao

>>150416482
Idk if the NBA would admit theyre wrong and actually remove the second apron but there's definitely major changes soon. The league has had PTSD over the warriors for a decade even though that happened due to all the stars aligning with the cap increase, shit is retarded. Sure it was kinda lame for some non-fans of lebron/steph/harden at the time but viewership hasn't been the same since then for a reason. People like villains and narratives and seeing lebron trying to take them down or a specifically built rockets taking them to the brink was kino

>>150416568
Nah, they'll just move off of either Chet or Jdub and offload Caruso

>>150416455
Granted OKC wasn't even near the luxury tax before winning their ring, now they nosedived into the second apron with those contracts,

But you make a good point, Pacers lowballed Turner cause they weren't gonna pay 30-40 million a year for a 30 year old with mileage and dropped only 4 points in a game 7 when their star player got hurt, and not to mention his retarded goaltend towards the final stretch, but overall Turners attitude kinda showed, he was too pretentious and leaned on retarded, given he fucking went to a team with 0 points Kuzma, Doc Rivers, and a guy who's implied he's on his out on dipping on the team

>>150416583
Oh, you're right. Idk why my brain didn't consider trading either one of the big 3

>>150416591
Myles to the bucks was shitty on his part for sure but he also was on the trading block for like 5 years and it looks like TJ McConnell is gonna be running the offense for a year so kinda understandable. The bucks makes no sense tho unless he's just given up and wants a bag or has some delusional level of faith on Giannis carrying a team with less depth than the nuggets last season

>>150416631
Most teams don't have the stockpile of picks OKC does so it isn't as feasible.

>>150416552
Fuck off retard,

Its because Presti is retarded. He’s made no trades for the team post-championship, and he’s keeping a Frenchie who’s been on the team for two years and hasn’t cracked the rotation, but decides to trade their second star in Giddey.

He’s a dumbass GM who thinks he’s Einstein, and those retarded contracts cost them a chance to repeat. Even the Warriors made trades after their first ring and let go of guys like Bogut and Barnes to get Durant, he could've traded off Holmbrick to get Giannis, you have fuck tons of picks for that reason

>>150416092
Its more of an impulsive move,

like giving a girl gifts and toys after 2 dates, then it backfires and she wants you to pay for her nails, car maintience etc,

they were sick of the retardation by Booth and how it costed them KCP and Bruce Brown, although Malone's firing was stupid, he helped develop Joker, and should come back as an assistant coach to the team or some other team,

>>150416661
>and he’s keeping a Frenchie who’s been on the team for two years and hasn’t cracked the rotation
Most end of the bench guys don't. I don't see you mentioning him trading Dillon Jones already this offseason, why not?
>but decides to trade their second star in Giddey.
You mean the uplayable brick who the Bulls don't even want to give 30 million to? Getting Caruso for him was a steal and what won them the championship.
>Even the Warriors made trades after their first ring and let go of guys like Bogut and Barnes to get Durant
That was after their loss the next season retard.

>>150416576
That's also true, it would be nice to see Kobe/Shaq 2.0 or something or big 4 like the Warriors dynasty or 2009-10 Lakers,

Second apron ruined that, and ruined the quality of competitive retrospect, Antman is someone who could seamlessly fit on Houston given the post Jalen Green era, and Houston is a market that could help him get around and market himself as the next face of the league, meanwhile Timberwolves haven't even won a WCF and Sota itself a pozzed grimm state

The league tries to give teams a chance but the FO's of those teams have always been retarded, hence why they should be left in the dirt to lose

>>150416583
why would they pay him so much if they planned on trading him

>>150416721
Ok alot to unpack cause your a dumbass, and idk why you camp out here maple anon

>Trade Dillon Jones already this offseason,
he traded Jones to get back a guy from the wizards just to waive the guy, so he just waived Jones basically to move salary, even though Jones literally got flagrant fouled by an mma fighter a few days ago

>You mean the unplayable brick
But he can still hoop, the Frenchie fag MENA cannot, and has been on the team for nearly 3 years, Presti does not listen, he's a retard, who could've traded Dieng to get Cam Johnson, fans begged him because the team needs a movement shooter or something who can hit 3s consistently, now they ended missing out on getting Cam, and arguably Denver barely traded anything to get Cam, which pisses me off, they could've traded the bag of bones faggot or Dieng/Kenrich with like 2 second rounders to get Cam, and again Caruso was valuable but Giddey could've been sold for a far higher amount,

>Even the Warriors made trades after their first ring
And added on guys like Nick Young after 2017 dumbass, they still made changes nevertheless, so far the intent and locked in plan is, keep the same exact roster and forget they went 7 games with the "Indiana Pacers" a team that looks like a catholic varsity basketball squad

The least Presti can do now is sign on Beasley, who shot like 42.9 percent last season, so OKC can get a good 3 point shooter when SGA and Dub are streaky some nights,

>Inb4 but he gambled

I doubt it after being threatened with jailtime and the league not being lenient with bans

>>150414249
>even transgirls
>transgirls

>>150416583
>Trading Jdub,

Retarded take,

Trading Chet makes sense but I doubt anyone can absorb that contract, thats why I was so critical of it, they're more likely to waive him if anything,

>>150415367
FBA would get raped, all they’ve got left is Ant

>>150416918

Yeah I forgot about one drop rule, I was only thinking of true melanated kangz

>>150416648
McConnell is aging though along with Siakam,

Its Nembhard who's basically taking the reins for the Pacers and I assume he gets an all-star selection for that reason, I think Pacers can keep themselves together but Turner was pretty solid

Especially boxing out other centers, I argued Indiana could've tried signing a high end roleplayer like NAW once he left the Wolves or Kornet to replace Turner and sign Kennard to give Nembhard some help and replace a bit of the clutch 3 point shooting that Haliburton had

>>150420582
'fraid so
>>150420584
Doubt it, he's good but not polished, another year of high school will not polish him into being league ready. He has interest from Duke, so they're probably planning for him to go there once the current crop are drafted (Boozer, Sarr, Khamenia)

>>150420638
He should have just gone to another university that would teach him how to ball and let him start as a freshman instead of this fake red shirt year just to play for Duke.

>>150420690
I agree. He has loads of offers from top schools, so he's hardly bereft of options. Picrel are the ones on his shortlist, he had more offers which he declined

>>150420718
Just go to Michigan or Indiana. You are most likely to start for those schools compared to kentucky or Arkansas or Duke.

>>150420760
His (((agent))) is probably trying to milk him for the best NIL deal from Duke

>>150420718
I guess the calculus is he thinks he will miss out on being a top 5-8 pick if he comes out in the same draft as Boozer and frens. So he might as well lay low for a year and then be the man for Duke next year. I don't think it is a good plan but I get it.

>>150420884
Yeah, 2027 is supposed to be a "weak draft", so if he plays well then it theoretically should be easier to crack the top 3. But I still think it'd make more sense to go to college now and then return for another season if he doesn't like where he's projected, or even transfer to Duke if they're still interested.

I'm saying Flagg’s under a ton of pressure, and in summer league he already struggled, he got cooked by a nepo baby like Bronny and locked up by a 14th pick in Carter Bryant. If he ends up in a big market like Dallas, we could be watching a white Zion situation in real time. Same age, but in a way bigger market than NOLA, which makes the problem even worse.

And honestly, most of the Duke guys didn’t look that good in summer league either. the Finnish guy would be better off at Texas, Arizona, Zags, or even the Gators

Reading his wiki article on it is funny. Looks like a pattern of getting signed to a gleague team -> called up to the NBA with couple 10 day contracts or 2 way contract when a team needs an emergency big man -> waived after the 10 days are up -> sign with new gleague team, and then splitting seasons with overseas teams and the GLeague. The definition of a guy who is almost an NBA player (3 string center type of guy) but is just not quite there so he flip flops everywhere.

You now remember that Nico tried to trade Luka for both Giannis and ANT and neither team wanted him KWAB

>>150423042
Its funny though, cause Bulls GM said would've traded the whole starting 5 for Luka,

Luka's value was high after 2024 cause he got to the finals, its just that Nico is retarded, he traded a franchise piece and got nothing/a few picks out of it,

Imagine if he offered him to OKC or Spurs, he would've gotten 10 picks out of that

since NBA is becoming more and more popular in the rest of the world, will players ever become majority non-black?

>>150423335
Prob not, half of the international players are africans or black immigrants in europe. It'll never be popular enough among European whites I don't think

>>150423335
Probably not because of Soccer. That will still be the number one ball sport worldwide

>>150423379
nba is getting more popular here but by the time it could ever rival soccer sports will probably be dead anyway

>>150423392
>implying governments will let sports die
Sports keep the masses occupied, distracted and not revolting.

>>150423411
if VR becomes advanced enough, it's better on all those aspects

>>150423392
Still the vast majority of whites entering the league come from the same countries as they always have (serbia, lithuania, australia, spain etc)

>>150423411
in 30 years we might have ultra realistic vr games and what not nobody will turn in to watch jaylden williamsbrown chuck 50 3s a game when they can play a virtual nba career in their spare time

Meal. I had the same thing for 3 days in a row. It’s good.

>>150423411
Dude I just like watching basketball, not that deep

>>150423718
You like watching sports because it allows you to escape the horrors you government are committing right under your nose. WAKE UP

>>150423766
I don’t care about the government, I didn’t even vote last election. I like watching basketball because it’s the sport I grew up playing and watching

>>150423879
THEY KEEP YOU DOCILE AND DRUGGED UP WITH DISTRACTIONS FROM THE EVILS THEY WISH TO COMMIT WITHOUT PUBLIC UPRISING. WAKE UP ANON. STOP DRIBBLING AND START SHOOTING. TRUMP TOUCHED THE WALL. AHHHHHHHHHHH

>>150423042
That was obviously a lie dumbass. Pelinka and Nico are friends for decades and Nico knows AD for many years.They also wanted Luka to the Lakers now that LeOld will retire.

>>150423954
>PUBLIC UPRISING
This is a liberal myth I’m afraid

>>150423954
>STOP DRIBBLING AND START SHOOTING.
More like, shut up and dribble.

>>150423954
>he's awake
>take him out

I fear I haven’t done enough to combat antisemitism in the NBA this week…

If youre over 6'10" and never stepped foot in the NBA youre a failure.

>>150424653
or at least go into wwe

>wemby won't play in the tournament

fucking lame

>>150424771
I saw a I 7' kid working at my local grocery and asked him why he wasnt in the NBA. Turns out he had gigantism and couldnt run properly

>>150424804
what a waste. we wish him well

Now that Overwatch is now /nba/ cause of Luka, who is your favorite Overwatch character?

>>150424886
Mercy and widowmaker because they have the best SFM

>>150424357
YOU'LL NEVER CATCH ME ADAM

>>150424861
Deprtessing knowing you have the stats to become an overnight millionaire, yet your genes failed in in another aspect

>>150425133
yeah, and you don't even have to fucking like basketball either. i mean obviously a bonus if you love what you do, but if you can get paid an NBA salary then fuck it

>>150425133
No wonder NBA players always got massive egos or are super religious if I was born with god tier genes to make money throwing a ball id be thinking god loved me too

>>150425235
Also imagine being a 10 year old being constantly praised by every gym teacher, coach, and your parents.

>>150425235
There's no way those poop cookie eating and tranny fucking degenerates are religious anon

>>150425351
As much of a faggot as lebron is its kind of a miracle he turned out relatively normal. Probably the only thing keeping him from turning into a supervillain is trying to get out of Jordan's shadow

>>150425385
Hali said he goes to chapel before every game, and used to go with Buddy Hield when he was on the Pacers

>>150425161
If youre tall you everyone around is basically just tells you you'll make the NBA because youre tall. Thats why theres so many busts

>>150424886
>Luka
Which is the fat one?

Binland plays basketball?

>>150426065
yeah, Luka is one of the best players rn

>>150425235
only those who never finished college like LeTorah

Blowout win for Germany against Montenegro. Congrats

Does Eurobasket start on black time like the NBA? I wanna catch those Fingolians beating up the Sweedcucks.

>>150433630
Starts in 30min

>>150432919
>Montenegro
is that a joke on black people

>>150433630
>Does Eurobasket start on black time like the NBA?
Usually not from my experience watching FIBA competitions, or if so only very slightly

>>150431197
Probably because like the warriors it was never a true "franchise". Retards love to do this retarded post hoc thing where just because a franchise became popular in a big city, means its "LE BIG MARKET". But theyre retards. Big market is more than having a lot of fans.

Lauri Bird...

shaq's career = he went to the finals on the magic then (REDACTED) then he won 3 straight titles and he's the most dominant center EVER

>>150437965
Go google her muff from playboy.

Lakeks should trade for Markkanen and Kessler. That’s if they really bout that shit…

Why isn't Sabonis playing for Eurobasket again?

>>150438640
I searched it up and apparently none of him, Buzelis, or Jakucionis are playing in protest of some coach disrespecting Valanjewnis or something, but then Valanjewnis is in the team so idk doesn’t make sense

>>150438379
I gooned to it before kek

>>150438379
Leaf cooked with this one. Fuck

>>150437965
I would have trouble working with her because I already fantasize about every remotely attractive female co-workers but my co-workers didn't pose for a bunch of high quality, professional grade nude photos. Like, it's not even a leak or anything. She gave everyone permission to look.

Imagine having a meeting with a hot milf boss who had nudes you could look up on your phone while you're in the meeting. How do you even think about anything else?

>>150425830
At least they'll make a mil or two before burning out. That could be retirement money

>>150424804
Any time you see a freakishly tall / gigantic person who doesn't play some pro sport it's almost always because they're so unathletic that despite their size they're of no use at higher levels of competition, or they have some sort of injury issue or health problem. Or, in rare cases like Barron Trump, they just didn't need to really contemplate athletics as a career to begin with.

Either way, it's kind of a stupid question to ask because you can fill in the blanks for yourself. I mean, what did you think, that the dude just never heard of basketball, or had a chance at millions but turned it down to work at a grocery store? Obviously something precluded his paying sports and whether it was skill or injury it's probably not something he wants to discuss with every random stranger.
>actually he was super nice and willing to talk about it
Yeah because unlike you, he's not rude. But I guarantee he was thinking "fuck, I have to have this conversation again?"

>>150442501
I don't trust anyone taller than 6'4" that didn't at least start on one of their high school sports teams.

>>150434754
Its well known at this point by those who do not fall for narratives that Shaq wasn't really "dominant" and just had no competition at the center position.

>>150443728
Good riddance.

reminder that i broke lebum's secret plan to make his own league like a year ago

Why would the Knicks interview a woman candidate lmao unserious franchise

>>150416661
>He’s made no trades for the team post-championship (when the team pretty much has no holes and grabbed its future needs from the draft this year)
>but decides to trade their second star in Giddey (L M A O)
>he could've traded off Holmbrick to get Giannis (because giving up young talent who hasn't reached his prime yet and picks to grab an older guy is an efficient use of draft capital, not to mention the Bucks would want an absolutely massive haul for the rebuild they're going to go through once he leaves)
Guys, I'm starting to think this anon isn't a Thunder fan...

>>150438168
It's not really a big accomplishment to convince players (who can easily afford the taxes/cost of living) to play for one of the two franchises with the most storied history, and to play in the city with the best weather and the most fun shit to do for rich people. That shit's easy mode.

>>150445617
And the exact opposite would be convincing players to play for Toronto.

>>150445617
Making you seethe doesn't make him bad. I'm going to need more than that.

>>150443520
From my experience in America if you are a dude in a tank top you are 100% taking cocks up your ass. Gotta cut off the sides of the tank top to show that you aren’t gay

>>150446951
bro I wear tank tops when I hoop...

>>150446951
>Gotta cut off the sides of the tank top

So tank tops are gay but shawls aren't?
