The Love injury and Ibaka to the Raptors makes it real interesting.

my rapties are legit contenders!
believe it!
Do y'all seriously think the Casv won't make the ECF? Even without Love they'll make it with relative ease. See two seasons ago. Their team is only better now. Speaks volumes to the state of the eastern conference.
It would take a major lelbron injury to make it actually an interesting playoff bracket in the east.
>>74244669
my rapties are chicken tenders!

Anon, you know they're just going to screw us over in 2018 as well.
Face it, the lottery is rigged, and there's no way they're going to let Boston win. It's probably going to go to the fucking lakers or something just to fuck us over.
I was checking out KD's playoff stats and in 2010 something went seriously wrong. They played against the Lakers and held their own but ended up losing in the first round.
Did anyone watch that series? Do you remember what happened there? Westbrook seemed to do quite well but KD was missing way too many shots. Was Artest really good that series?

You have some serious unresolved issues if you think I'm going to waste time photoshopping that for an intellectually inferior and insignificant person on an anonymous forum.
>>74246087
I said POINT guard. Harden / Tyreke were shooting guards. Ricky and Flynn were really the only point guards taken before Curry and if you do your research you would know that both New York (Because of D'Antoni) and Phoenix (Because of Kerr) wanted to really move up on the draft to be able to draft Steph. Kerr even offered Amar'e to Golden State for the 7th pick in the draft, but Golden State ended up backing out at the last second because of Amar'e's eye injury the previous season and they feared he hadn't recovered.
>>74246130
Fultz is definitely the better fit. But this is Ainge we're talking about. His CelticsDraftHistory.jpg tells us pretty much all we need to know about his ability to draft. He'll bite the hype and take Lonzo. But it's ok! He got one ring because the Sonics were kind enough to gift them Allen and KG was tired of Minnesota! Ainge got that ring! Not those guys!~

You most likely will get fucked over
There's no denying that the 2014 draft lottery was rigged for Cleveland. 2013 I guess they were 3rd so it's not as obvious, but 2014 is a clear rigjob. If 2014 was rigged, then there's no reason to believe that the rest of them aren't rigged as well.
The worst team has won the lottery for the past two years in a row. Now Boston is most likely going to have the worst team's pick and there's no way they're going to win the lottery. The league won't allow it.
Watch. Boston will fall to #4 most likely and that is how we'll know the whole fucking thing is rigged.
do the celtics beat the bulls tonight?
>>74247124
THAT'S how we'll know it's rigged? Not because highly touted #1 picks always seem to go to their home town? Or the fact that cleveland won the lottery 3 times in a row? Or that the lakers always seem to move up in the lottery while the timberwolves have never moved up? Or the fact that the lottery balls are drawn completely in secret and each combination corresponds to a "secret code" that only the commissioner is allowed to know?
I mean it's pretty much 100% confirmed to be rigged at this point.
>>74247185
>not trusting the cavs title
>>74247152
They'll win tonight, probably lose in toronto after the break, then they won't lose again until they play golden state on the road.

Hold me bros
>>74247185
It's not rigged.
If it was rigged then OKC would have got the first pick in 2009. Westbrook + Durant + Griffin. Stern had already made it publicly known (much to his dismay) that he had a very close relationship with Clay Bennett. He did everything in his power to accomodate his needs and demands. Pretty much forced one of the most popular teams in one of the best marketing markets to move to a less than desirable location. If the draft is rigged then Stern would have put the cherry on the cake and gift wrapped him the local hero and college player of the year (like Durant was) in Griffin who was pretty much guaranteed to be a Rookie of the Year.
>>74247808
>Its not rigged because they didn't make it obvious as fuck it's rigged
Hate this argument
>>74247808
the Clippers had been trash for a while and Stern needed to get them some starpower or else he would have had to relocate them and lose that LA Money
That'd also why Chris Paul ended up there
>>74246242
>Cavs can somehow take on 20M in capspace from Dallas
yeah no
the only way that's happening is if you get a third team involved and Cleveland trades more draft picks.
Why is Ingram in the Rising Star game? He is not rising nor a star? Just cause he is Laker?
>>74248432
Because he's a rookie and was drafted #2 overall.
>implying any of this shit is rigged
Who says no? Bulls get the '17 Nuggets first rounder, and Rockets lottery-protected '18 first rounder.
How highly do you rate the Gasol bros?
>>74248702
the bulls
>>74248702
Get off Bleacher Report Nigel
Also Bulls say no. Replace Mudiay with Murray and I would take it
>>74248702
Make OKC the third team and this would work perfectly.
Denver gets Singler, who is better than Brewer at this point. Or Payne and Roberson, Bulls get Payne and the rights to Dakari Johnson, a NBA ready player every team in the league had been trying to get from OKC for years.
>>74248860
Denver would get Dakari Johnson's rights and Bulls would get Semaj Christian for Canaan. He
s pretty bad as a backup PG and isn't really worth it.
>8 days before Rapties get to see Iblocka
>against the Leltics no less
>have to settle for DD and Lowry playing "basketball" with "all-stars" this weekend
gay af tbqh
Looking up Dakari Johnson and wondering why the fuck he isn't on a NBA team.
He's the perfect backup center.
Played backup to KAT and AD in Kentucky and looks even better than then in the D league.
Has great post moves and can shoot pick and pop near the foul line.
If OKC has his rights why isn't he playing right now since Kanter is injured? Much better defensively than Lauvergne.
>>74248984
D league doesn't work like baseball where you can just call up players then relegate someone else.
You need to sign them to minimum med level contract or up to half of the salary you're replacing the player with.
Kanter has a big salary and OKC's roster space is limited so it'd be hard to sign him without letting Huestis or Morrow go.
Maybe next year they can sign him as the third center.
They also have a recent signing from Arizona that's really good too. Kaleb Tarczewski. He played for them during the preseason.
>>74249028
The new CBA has duel D league/NBA contracts where they play for the D league and you can call them up to play any time.
I think this is the future of D league contracts and signing second round and lower rookies you drafted, and you want to develop and still play.
>tfw no one ever talks about Brook Lopez

>>74249429
Blazers needed Nurkic more than Denver needs Plumlee.
He's already a better rebounder and scores in the post, draws fouls, and got three steals.
Nurkic is still 22 as well.
>>74249429
Hasn't even practiced with the team and already doing touch pass assists for three.
And he did all this against the Jazz with Gobert right next to him. Plumdog would've gotten shutdown this game.

>>74244493

>>74249733
Kanter. It's only close because defense. But the second unit okc defense has gone to shit without Kanter, so the Kanter is bad at D thing may be a meme.
>>74249771
>his team doesn't have it's own video game
Are other teams even trying?
SKREEEEONK
>>74249799
Kanter just looks really bad in comparison to Adams. He usually over commits to the guard in pick and roll situations and lets the other big man or screener get to the rim easy while Adams does the opposite and tries to recover to block the guard or lets the other help defender guard the guard instead.
>>74249839
Yeah, Adams gives the D really well and can keep up for a long time.

>>74248860
Personally as Denver in the trade I wouldn't want Singler or Brewer, and I'm not even sure their contracts are needed to shore it up moneywise. I wouldn't take that trade as it stood there anyway, just thought it'd be interesting to see a non-Nuggets opinion on it.
>>74249429
Both teams won. Nurkic wouldn't have done anything on the Nuggets, and Plumlee is an excellent back up centre for Nurkic. The Memphis first rounder for the Nuggets this year would have gone to waste, there's already too many guys on the roster.

>these shitty mail in games on today

https://www.fansided.com/2017/02/15/nba-trade-deadline-portfolio-jimmy-butler
>Butler has been a top 10 player this season by the eye-test and virtually every player metric. He’s a rarity in being a two-way wing who can initiate the offense and serve as the co-primary handler as an ironclad number two option on a championship caliber team. The word “franchise player” gets tossed around too cavalierly, and while Butler is a notch below true players of that make in LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard (with Giannis Antetokounmpo set to take the league by storm here) on the wing, he’s as close as it gets to the rarest player archetype in basketball.
>The Celtics have the player salary to easily match Butler’s $17,522,209 (pre five percent trade kicker), either with Amir Johnson’s $12,000,000 expiring contract or Tyler Zeller’s $8,000,000 non-guaranteed salary next season with an early guarantee date. A package of the two aforementioned Nets picks, another young piece like Avery Bradley and Tyler Zeller for matching purposes is going to be hard to beat. The question is whether it pushes Boston near enough to Cleveland to justify sacrificing the future for Butler’s window, or if the Celtics are willing to include both Nets picks. As for the former, probably not, but they aren’t going to get a better crack at a star in the Al Horford and Isaiah Thomas window. For the Bulls, there isn’t a more viable avenue to expedite a rebuild.
It makes too much sense, and the Celtics won't even give up ONE of their Brooklyn picks when they would get a good deal with two and some salary dumps
I like the Celtic's chances if they get Butler for that, even against GS as the underdogs

Sources: Serious talk between OKC and Bulls on Butler trade. Lauvergne, Grant, and two second round picks on the block.
>>74252869
This fake news isn't even funny
Bulls fans, if you're here, give us some trade ideas for Butler. I'm thinking if you can get two '17 first round picks, including one in the lottery, an '18 first round pick, and two good-but-not-amazing young players then the Bulls FO would feel content in letting Butler go and heading for the hard rebuild.

Geln Davis did some interviews with FS1 and shined some light on a lot of stuff that happened with the Celtics vs. LeBron and the Dwight Howard Magic years.
He also called his own former coach, Doc Rivers, overrated.
>>74253291
He shit on doc rivers. It's great
I don't think Danny Ainge is going to give up this year's nets pick for anything until we see where it lands.
If it's #1, then he keeps it and drafts fultz. If it's anything else, then he probably trades it for an established star.

Are the Whizzards a real threat to the 2 seed?
>>74253725
They would have to almost run the table in order to pull it off. Boston's hardest part of the schedule is well behind them, and they will probably win like 70% of their games remaining at the very least.
>>74253736
>they will probably win like 70% of their games remaining at the very least.
You people are the most delusional motherfuckers on earth.
>>74253772
Through 56 games, Boston has a 66% winning percentage. Their schedule moving forward is one of the easiest remaining in the league. They're getting Bradley and Brown back after the all-star break and will be firing on all cylinders.
It's not delusional at all.
>>74253906
Early season is nothing like late season when teams are at peak chemistry, know what they're doing, and fighting for playoff spots.
You're a fucking delusional newfag.
>>74253919
So every team except Boston is going to be at peak chemistry and fighting for playoff spots?
No, anon, just no. Boston is going to be right there with them, except with a demonstrably superior basketball team as well.
>>74253927
Washington, Toronto, and Indiana all have higher ceilings than the current celtics.
>>74253736
>>74253772
This lol. I just looked up their remaining schedule. They play the Cavs, Wiz, Pacers, Hawks, and Raptors multiple times. They play the Warriors and Clippers, and a few bad teams who can pull of big upsets like the Heat and Nuggets. I'm not saying they won't finish with the 2 seed, but that is not an easy schedule at all. They could very well go .500 over the remaining stretch, it's certainly not "at least" 70%.
>>74253976
boy u dumb
>>74253976
Washington, Toronto, and Indiana are all inferior teams.

They basically lost at home because the refs aren't going to bail them out in the last second every time. And before you say anything about old man wade, keep in mind that Boston was missing the Wade stopper Avery Bradley. Plus he's old as fuck now so he won't make any difference anyways.

Bulls get '17 Nuggets 1st, '18 Nuggets 1st, '17 Wizards 1st and '18 Rockets 1st.
Who says no?
>Nuggets
Acquiring Butler without giving up Murray or Jokic is good. Accelerates Nuggets rebuild.
>Rockets
Replacing Brewer with a much more talented, younger wing on a cheap, 2 year contract for a first round pick is amazing. Makes Rockets deeper and helps consolidate them as a real chip contender.
>Wizards
Getting a very talented sixth man and helping to make sure that the Celtics don't get Butler helps the Wiz avoid the dreaded 4th seed in the East. Good value for a first round pick.
>Bulls
Give up Butler (who is annoyed with the management) for four (4) non-lottery first round picks within the next 2 years and four young guards who can replace Rondo and Wade next season. Decent way to start a rebuild, diversified assets.
I still think the Bulls say no, but everyone else is fine. Maybe the Rockets or the Wiz could even throw in a second rounder each to the Bulls and still agree to the trade.

I better ask some welch dwarf to play with me than American tallest
>>74257345
Does that really help the Nuggies though? They're giving away 2 first rounders which could be lottery pick potential stars to support Jokic way down the line, to get a star in his prime who isn't good enough to take them past the best teams of the west. Even with Butler the Nuggies would probably still be in the 4-6 seed range in the west. The Warriors and Spurs would still be better than them, and the Jazz/Rockets/Clippers maybe even Grizzlies could still beat them in the playoffs. I just don't see a Nuggies team with Butler making much noise in the western playoff picture.
I think it would be better to keep those picks and try to get some more young guys to build around Jokic. Nugs are still probably going to make the playoffs as the 8th seed and get their young guys some valuable post season experience.
>>74257388
He swept the Celtics, then he swept the Hawks. Then the next year the Celtics lost to the Hawks and then the Hawks got swept by LeGod again. So LeGod indirectly swept them twice in a row.

>>74257400
>Does that really help the Nuggies though?
Consider that Jokic, Murray and Butler are all on 4 year contracts. Jokic is on under 2 million a year, and plays like an all-star. I don't see Murray progressing fast enough to get the DRose rule salary bump either. Effectively throwing away two years of drafting isn't an issue when you look at the contract situation of the Nuggets.
>They're giving away 2 first rounders which could be lottery pick potential stars to support Jokic way down the line
You're pretty much praying if you're hoping that late lottery picks, or ones just outside the lottery, become players as good as Faried or Gallo or Harris. The supporting players already exist in Denver. I see Gallo taking his player option this year no matter what, he seems to really like Denver.
>The Warriors and Spurs would still be better than them, and the Jazz/Rockets/Clippers maybe even Grizzlies could still beat them in the playoffs.
Maybe this year. But that's a harder sell next year. And even harder the year after. The Nuggets would be an incredibly talented and incredibly young team after this trade.
>I think it would be better to keep those picks and try to get some more young guys to build around Jokic.
The Nuggets already have a shit ton of young guys. Jokic needs stars around him - preferably whilst he's still on the hilariously small contract he's on. In terms of keeping those picks, in not making this trade the Nugs would be keeping guys like Beasley and Mudiay. There'd be no room on the roster to develop the guys picked in the draft.
I'm a Nuggets fan, I'm suggesting this trade mostly because Jimmy is on a great contract and it's not often that stars become available like this in the NBA. I'm also not a fan of first rounders - I think a lot of people really overvalue picks outside the top 5 and that can be used in the Nuggets favour here.

I unironically believe the wiz can make it to the finals
I don't think they will but I don't think it's unrealistic to expect it

casual fag here what all star thing is it tonight?

This is a prime example of a girl who didn't have a proper father, and a boy who didn't have a proper mother, smdh, black families are a fucking joke now
>>74258788
Wiz fan here and I'm thinking it's unrealistic. As long as the Cavs have the Big 3, the Wizards are gonna have a tough time winning.
This also goes for any team in the East really.
>>74258788
As a wiz fan who loves how we've improved under Brooks, our bench is far too weak to make a legitimate challenge. We can maybe make the ECF, but that's the best case scenario this season. I expect another 2nd round playoff run.
>>74258788
Nah, Boston fan here and even I know that the Cavs are the only team winning the East. It doesn't even matter if Kevin Love is out for the rest of the season, when LeBron needs to be he can still be good enough to finish off any team in the conference in game 7. The only way anyone but the Cavs go to the Finals is if all these minutes catch up to him and he gets stuck with his first real injury.
He also hasn't even gone on his refueling diva spa hiatus in sunny vacation spot yet, so he's just going to recharge and hit the playoffs close to full strength and probably pissed off that the league for some contrived reason.
>>74259340
>>74259601
I really think they have a shot to beat the cavs
I don't think they will and they'll probably lose in 5 because of their shitty bench but a top 3 starting lineup is a great thing to have. I think they can contend for the finals. I really do. I doubt they do, and they'll have a hard time even reaching the ecf but I don't think either is incredibly unrealistic
>>74259601
This, we all know the seeds will be
1)Leaveland
2)Bawston
3)Terribleronto
4)Pissington
and the Cavs will get the Wizards in 6 games in round 2

woah Lebron has brit teeth wtf I thought he was a bazillionaire whys he not got his teeth whitened
What's for lunch /nba/
>>74259678
The Wizards aren't gonna drop out of the top 4. I just think they'll lose in the second round because of their shallow as fuck bench.

>Butler, who was also a part of the interview, echoed those sentiments saying “it’s hard to relate to the people here if you can’t relate to them.”
>“If you keep throwing them in a category that they’re violent, no matter if they change or not, they’re still going to be in that category,” he said. “You go down there and you change people’s lives. You make them want to do better for the next person. And that’s when Chicago is going to be a beautiful place, and nobody’s comin’ here talking about how bad it is like he said, like a Third World country. ‘Cause that’s not it.”
What did he mean by this?

I'd imagine all the Euro players creamed their pants being next to the GOAT.
>>74260775
But all the Euro players already know who Ronaldo is

But they're around Westbrook all the time....

Only users lose drugs.

Why are the Pelicans listed as a Western Conference team?
>>74261033
Because they're a Western Conference team.
>>74260726
wtf i love westbrook now
Reminder it's All Star media day and a bunch of players are getting interviewed on NBA TV.
It was also the rising stars practice.
>>74261102
Lowry and DeRozan talking about the Ibaka trade and Russell Westbrook will do media questions afterwards.
>>74261046
but they're located in the East?
>>74261116
Based Russ went the Marshawn Lynch route and blew off the reporters trying to talk drama and talked about fashion instead.

They're literally in the middle, have you never seen a map?
RACKETS THO
>>74261149
Louisiana is west of the Mississippi river, which is the divider between the east and the west in the US since colonial times. New Orleans is the beginning of when the east turns west, right in the middle, but part of the west either way in the NBA.

based brazillionaire
>Based Silver
Whenever Harden gets asked about Westbrook he's always honest about him, so much he even throws his teammates under the bus and says he has to do everything for him and also sneakily saying his teammates are better than Russell's.
>>74261408
Which is weird since Harden is one of the most boring guys to do interviews with and the biggest abuser of generic BS PC answers.
>westshit bench warming the all star game
CBS PUT CURRY AT 19Th ALL TIME LMAOOOOOOOOOOO

Interview in question.

>not top 10
>>74261523
>seems boring except for dumb unnecessary E!SPN drama
Kill yourself cancer.
>>74261524

The only one who deserves top ten is Kareem and really he should be #2
>>74261532
when the Warriors win the title Curry will be top 3.

You SHOULD be talking about Memphis. If you are wondering why certain teams are placed in the west.
Who is the pressure on lads?
