>a fucking leaf

Should the Sixers trade Embiid? It's becoming very clear he will never play a full season. Get rid of him while his stock is high, keep Okafor.

We need to make a move. We've lost like 10 games to sub 500 teams the past month. Masai is being too complacent with this roster were not gonna win shit if we go into playoffs like this

>>74146035
Yeah, but what I'm getting at is there shouldn't have been a need to trade them. This is totally unsustainable, and at this point, they've already fucked their draft pick so hard that it might just be worth keeping the good players they have. I still think they should tank, but they've done a ton of damage already, and good deals for players like Dragic, Whiteside and Waiters don't just fall out of the sky.

>>74146017
He hasn't been during the streak. It's been Dragic by a mile.

>CLE: LeBron James says he'll play on Wednesday
Did he get injured or something? Or is he still being a lil bitch that gets to choose when he wants to play or not.

>>74146136
You weren't gonna win shit anyway so nothing's really changed.

>>74146076
Celtics would never take the deal is why. Nets are fairly sensible since Marks took over, but the Ghost of Billy King is still repeatedly penetrating their future.

>>74146110
>isnt ball supposed to be a franchise changing talent
hes a pg who cant shoot. hes already no longer the consensus #1 pick. the best players in this draft are guards who will need time to develop, which is the complete opposite of what Boston needs. Celtics need players who are good right now and they need a big man. Lopez fits both of those.

>>74146136

>>74146154
What is this meme that the celtics can compete right now. Nobody can compete with the Warriors and the Cavs. Mortgaging your future to lose to Lebron in the ECF makes no sense. They're just gonna use the picks and probably be really good for the next 10 years and hope to spike a year.

You're also wrong about the celtics needs. They need a defensive rebounder who can switch effectively, not an offense first big man who is a step too slow to be useful defensively, and has a major injury history.

More than that, you're either overrating the value of Brook Lopez, or underrating the value of what appears to be a top 3 pick, minimum, in a loaded draft. Lopez is good enough to fetch maybe a mid first rounder, just because his skillset isn't that valuable anymore. He's not good enough to get the Nets pick.

>>74146169
I fucking hate this kid.
Used to think 'Ball' meant him playing basketball, but it was actually his name.

i hope you guys realize that when cp3 realizes dj and blake are holding him back from a title he will not esitate to leave, probsbly to form team #bananaboat. what i want to know is that if you take out CP3 and add Russell Westbrook, do the clippers win a title?

why would you pass up on a franchise changing player regardless if he is ready now. Men its so much easier to draft a star and then fill around him then being short sighted and getting a player now.

>trusting peoples opinions on 4chan

>>74146141
They're going on a back to back and he usually sits out one of them. So because he didn't sit out this game that means he's most likely sitting out of the OKC game.

>>74146174
Yeah, Spo is great. Hella underrated. But this isn't coaching, its unsustainable shotmaking. Sorry, but Dragic isn't shooting 60% from three the rest of the season, and the front office can be excused for not expecting it, because it would have been ludicrous to expect that to happen. Similar with Waiters shooting 50%. This is so far out of the range of expected outcomes for this heat squad that I'm not sure what you expected the front office to do other than be psychic.

Riley specifically said they were going to rebuild through the draft. They wanted to tank this year and next year, since their pick is top 7 protected in 2018, and they wanted to be bad enough for it to not convey until 2019.

>>74146176

No because they need a shooter and non of those guys are shooters and JJ Reddick is past his prime physically and injury prone.

Only way the Clippers works is if you have a shooter at PG or SF. So only Curry would work. CP3 isn't good enough of a shooter to take that team to the next level obviously.

I personally just think all the team needs is some fucking balls and not to give up so easily as they do in the playoffs.

Yeah I saw it. I hope he doesn't make it in the league.

>>74146211
Here's what's going on with the heat:

1) Early in the season they played a ton of good teams close and lost, they became known for a while for doing so.

2) Dragic and Waiters added about 5 points per game just by shooting the lights out from three.

3) The heat start winning all those games they were losing by 5. Their league worst TS% skyrockets to 3rd during the streak. Most of this is due to ridiculous shooting from three.

4) They play a ton of terrible teams. Bucks, T-Wolves, Sixers, Hawks, Nets, Pistons, Bulls, Nets, Warriors, Bucks, Mavs, Rockets. 3 good teams, everyone else is .500 or below. When you take the heat, add 5 points per game from the better shooting, you can see how they beat all the bad teams. GSW/HOU/ATL are genuinely good wins though.

>>74146239
I really hope that in the end they can win a top 4 pick or get in the top 10. if this draft is loaded like everyone is saying they can still get good talent regardless.

>>74146249
Or we can do 4v4 and have 2 guys on the other end

Anyone else see this: http://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/18648222/stephen-curry-golden-state-warriors-armour-ceo-discuss-donald-trump-comments

At first I was like wow curry might actuall be based after all standing up to his money master and a racist like trump but then I actuall read the article:

> "Based off the release that KP sent out this morning and what he told me last night, that's the Under Armour that I know. That's the brand I know he's built and one that, as of Wednesday afternoon, is something that I'm standing on."

>>74146260
They'll be top 10 probably, but they've gone from something like the 3rd best lottery odds to like 11th. They're in a really bad place to be honest.

>Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank praised President Donald Trump on Tuesday, calling him a “real asset” to the nation.

>Stephen Curry, in turn, used those comments into a burn of Trump. In an interview with the Mercury News, Curry was asked about Plank’s comments, and he snapped back at Trump.

>“I agree with that description,” Curry said, “if you remove the ‘et’” from asset.

>Curry endorsed Hillary Clinton during the election, and his head coach Steve Kerr has been outspoken in his criticism of Trump. As the face of Under Armour basketball, Curry’s happiness is essential to that endorsement relationship. He’s under contract with the brand through 2024, but Curry still said he was surprised to hear Plank’s support for Trump.

>He told the Mercury News that he spoke with staffers at Under Armour and Plank himself after hearing the comments. Curry took his first direct stand against Trump in the interview, publicly putting Under Armour on notice.

>“If there is a situation where I can look at myself in the mirror and say they don’t have my best intentions, they don’t have the right attitude about taking care of people. If I can say the leadership is not in line with my core values, then there is no amount of money, there is no platform I wouldn’t jump off if it wasn’t in line with who I am. So that’s a decision I will make every single day when I wake up. If something is not in line with what I’m about, then, yeah, I definitely need to take a stance in that respect.”

>mfw Larry dares to post another Trump picture or make fun of LeBron for supporting Hillary

>>74146265
yeah riley needs to pull something out of his ass like in 2004 or 2010. But he had wade on the team for one and they drafted really high to get wade

>>74146267
honestly I respect lebron for getting political and taking a stand vs neo nazi's like trump, I prefer my althetes to stay out of politics but trump is different it supersucceds everything in life right now and more ppl need to grow some balls and take a stand...

>>74146267

How would you guys fix the NBA so it's more balanced?

My idea is to trade the best highest scoring players of the top teams to the bottom teams at the end of the playoffs.
So leading scorer on seed 1 team would go to seed 15 in their conference 2 would go to 14, etc. 8th seed would keep their leading scorer. These players would be locked for that season so you can't trade them.

top 6 teams each year have to give up 2 of their best players (sorted by overall 2k rating) in a draft where the bottom 6 teams get to choose, then the rest of the teams give up all their players and the entire league does a fantasy draft and afterwords everything will be reversed and the roster will go back to normal because there is no need way to balance the nba

>>74146511
>say his jump shot looks kinda fucked up,
his shot reminds me of Kevin Martin, quick release but he gets away with that shot because of the beta defenders at that level. I bet you anything that if he got roughed up and was made to work on defense his shot would not fall at all, and forget getting to the rim with the height of centers at the upper levels of basketball. One legit hard foul and kid will stay at the 3pt line for the rst of his life. Im calling it right now, either he's going to fall to the 2nd round as a 3pt specialist OR he gets memes up to the top 10 and some team will fall for the bait. Probably Philly or Minnesota, they love the memes.

would be fun, especially the rivalry they would have with the Thunder. Would be an even more fun rivalry if Durant went there to try to win a legitimate ring.

Dude's a free agent. Give him a season or two, he'll get bored winning 70 games a year and sharing the spotlight with Curry.

could change if Curry bolts though, he clearly is not having as much fun this year with Durant cramping his style.

holy shit what a boring celebrity game roster

Klay Thompson literally has 1 amazing game all season long almost every year and then disappears until the playoffs where he has 1 other amazing game. Then disappears again. And he gets voted in the all-star game because of his 1 game and then you never hear from him again.

This guy flies under the radar all the time. Now with Durant there it's even worse. He's the 3rd option on the team. Sometimes 4th.

Meh. I admit it could be better, but I'm content with (a) seeing Mark Cuban throw one down, or get dunked on, either way I'm good, (b) Candace Parker burying 3's over dudes half her age, (c) Ansel Elgort is in Edgar Wright's next movie, you'll know his name by summer.

guys like Korver and Oladipo have to work their ass off to get open, this light skin gets to stand around with his dick in his hand because he knows he'll get wide open shots with little effort.

Who booked this shit?

>>74149581
Really hope someone runs right over cuban

Simple question guys, why is the Cavs odd like 5.00 @OKC? Is any big player out, or is it because of last nights game against the pacers?

>Edgar Wright's next movie

unless it's a buddy comedy starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost I'm not interested
