/nba/ - Rapties on the Rise Edition

All these reporters asking Durant related questions really get annoying. I understand why WestGOAT answered with answers about fashion instead just to piss them off.

>>74261693
And it's questions he's already answered. And after he already told them he's done talking about them.

Is PG13 shook?

Just ignore the bull and stay true to yourself.

None of this extra stuff actually matters, it's just drama.

Anyone ever buy shit from the NBA store?
I just bought something and cancelled it about 2 hours later a few days ago and still didn't get my refund. Shit went through my card already and the status says refunded.

Good OP

Warriors should trade Curry and Zaza for Westbrook and Steven Adams.

>Beat writer Doug Smith is reporting that while Toronto does not want to trade any of their young players, they would be willing to move Jared Sullinger and a 2017 first-round pick.

>The Cavs are expected to sign Derrick Williams to a second 10-day contract on Saturday, and then sign him for the remainder of the season after that contract ends

>Anthony Davis said he plans to be "very involved" in the Pelicans efforts to re-sign Jrue Holiday this summer.

>>74262102
Good move by Pistons. Green is on a one year contract so you can shed a lot of salary for next season instead of paying a scrub like Jackson for half a decade.

God damn. Cousins went full /jah/ here.

Is he /ourguy/?

>Fultz
>better shooter

Fultz is better at everything than Ball except shooting and passing. Defense is a wash cause they both are disengaged most of the time.

2017 NBA Champion: JaVale McGee.
Think about that.

How do you even get a shooting form like Lonzo Ball? Didn't his dad like obsessively train him and his brothers since they were toddlers? Why didn't he teach him how to not shoot like a retard?

All yall putting faith in a random draft and wanting to tank are retarded. There's no LeBron, AD, Shaq, MJ, etc. in this draft. Hell none of these guys are John Wall-tier. Half of the top 10 will be busts. Pop, Carlisle, and LeBron have the right idea. You build championship teams through winning culture, coaching, and player development

Kyrie is a flat earther lmao

>>74262263
muscle memory is a bitch

he's probably been doing that since he was a kid but the ball kept going in the hoop so there's no reason to change it. It's not going to be a big deal in the NBA.

If Kevin Martin and a bunch of manlets had no issue jacking up shots, why would Ball have any issue? It's a dumb narrative.

>>74262354
But Kevin Martin did have a problem.

He used to use it to his advantage to draw fouls, but then they stopped because pre 2012 the amount of shooting fouls getting called was ridiculous. After that people got more physical with him and forced him to jump higher to get his shot off, then his knee problems happened, and he couldn't change his shooting form to make it higher and be efficient.

So he dropped off.

Man I hope team world fucks up usa again

>>74262354

I don't think anybody aspires to be Kevin Martin

>>74262386
397/995 his last 4 years. That's nearly 40%

>>74262398
Not talking about him as a player, talking about his shooting. There's even more spacing in today's NBA than when K-Mart was playing.

What did he say?

>>74262523
Didn't Smush Parker try and one up Kobe or something? Like he thought he could hang or something?

>>74262506
My point is that Ball's shooting form won't affect him knocking down 3-pointers in the NBA. Especially given how prolific three point shooting is anyways.

He'll be a better shooter than Brandon Ingram at least.

>>74262572
Which Ball are y'all talking about? If y'all are talking about that 15 year old he ain't making it to the NBA

>>74262523
It was bad. Watching him heroball OKC into losses in close games during that infamous November stretch of 2014 was probably the worst thing I've ever seen.

Even cost Scotty his job behind this guy. Then when he starts lashing out in the locker room, even Kendrick Perkins shut his ass out, moving Waiters' locker closer to everyone else and moving Jackson's toward the other end. After that, he was known for saying "I just wanna play basketball" as a dig to the organization.

Meanwhile, "his" team got swept in the first round and currently out of the running for playoffs.
Compare this to Westbrook, who's carrying the team to the playoffs AND putting up historic numbers to boot AFTER losing KD and Ibaka.

Reggie is probably feeling extremely salty right now.

>>74262572
So you want him to just be a spot up three shooter and limit his possibilities in the NBA when the new type of point guard is supposed to be complete scorers that can shoot from any where on the floor and the best can make contested shots from anywhere?

Yeah, no.

>>74262593
The only Ball that will be in the NBA is Lonzo Ball. His two other brothers won't even be 4-star recruits.

>>74262540
Said he rejects the idea that the earth is round, says that the evidence points to it being flat. He also thinks that other planets don't exist.

>>74262263

His littlest brother shoots with two hands like a girl at times, there's a reason they are going to UCLA and not Duke or NC.

I like the second Ball brother the most personality wise, but Lonzo probably is the only one with a shot at a long NBA career.

>>74262630
Terrible.

>>74262630

Melo has good taste

>>74262606
Have you watched Ball play? He's pretty limited on offense. His only strengths are:

his height
nba range 3
catch and shoot
step back 3
passing

he can't play in the pick and roll, he can't finish at the rim, he can't shoot midrange jumpers, he can't beat anyone off the dribble.

He'll likely be sharing backcourt duties with another PG at least early in his NBA career.

If Ball wasn't such a prolific shooter he wouldn't even be top 5 in this draft.

He's top 8 in most people's list.

The problem with modern top 10 lists are none of us really saw wilt or russell play so they get spots based on their insane statistics and 2 minutes of highlights. I want to almost say they don't belong on a "modern nba" top 10

>>74262726

Top 9 at worst, love Shaw but he's not better than Kobe

Also where do you rate Garnett all time

t. Celtic fan

>>74262775
I don't even put that era of players in a top 10 list. There's no point, there's no proof or anything. I tend to just include kareem, and then start from the 1979 draft.

>>74262790
I think shaq was better than kobe, but putting them at 10 and 9 is fair to me.

>>74262598
We have the 8th seed right now bruh, but I would love Reggie getting traded for almost all reasonable deals Orlando would put together.

>>74262801

Shaq peaked higher than Kobe but Kobe probably had the better career. Longevity is like 70% of the reason Kobe is rated so high

>>74262768
Oscar Robertson, Hakeem Olajuwon, Elgin Baylor, several others. Kobe is the most overrated player in history.

As long as we can agree that the top 5 is

MJ
Kareem
Leflop
Magic
Bird

I don't care about this rest

>>74262843
I think that's a fair top 5. Honestly jordan is the unequivocal goat, the next few spots are kind of a toss up

7. KOBR
8. SHAW
9. HAKEEM
10. ADMIRAL

Last four/five spots you could switch around. I feel LBJ has just barley surpassed Bird but not Magic. A ring or a god tier Finals appearance would put him at 3 for me

>>74262843
Yep.

>>74262839

Hakeem is in the same tier or barley below Kobe. He won his rings in those gap years with MJ and baseball and that hurts him imo

Elgin is a goat scorer, Oscar might fall into that old tier with Russell and Wilt, hard to put him on my list

anyone here listen to the channing and RJ podcast with kyrie?

what the fuck is kyries problem?

It's amazing how a kid is asking better questions than the media.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsCLIRajELc

Will Kris Dunn be any good? I like his come up but he doesn't look very good

>>74262886
I can't give Magic #3 over Bron if Magic was able to play with Kareem his whole career. Give Bron Kareem and imagine what he does.

>>74263147
Westbrook would have punched an adult if they asked that question.

>>74262610
Damn I didn't know Kyrie was that woke.

>>74263162

He looks good at times but doesn't play enough to get a good rhythm. He's a pretty good defender already though. He just makes rookie mistakes and needs more experience

>>74263174
On this note I don't see how LeBron won't go down as minimum #2 all time when all is said and done. Probably wins 1-2 more rings, will be top 3 at least in points, maybe #1 depending on how many more years he plays (probably #2 or 3) and top 10 in assists

>>74262917
good for a longer period of time, won more, won without superteam, prime KG

To be honest why is Magic always a guaranteed top 5 player all time? Dude couldn't play defense to save his life.

>>74262610
the best thing is they were on a plane when they did the podcast, like literally look outside your fucking window and see the curvature on the horizon

>>74263270
>see the curvature on the horizon
this is just me being a nitpicking piece of shit but you can't really see the curvature of the earth from a plane. to see a real distinct angle you pretty much have to be in orbit. kyrie is still retarded im not trying to defend him

It'd happen down the road when Davis is a FA, so what, three or four years? Russ may be entering Lebron tier 'decline' by then, who knows. Oil, Adams, AD will be in their primes and sabonis will be near prime tier

>>74264062
>Westbrook and Davis are buddies
This is BS btw. They're just represented by the same agency and their relationship isn't greater than a casual relationship. Westbrook is "buddies" with Rose and Melo, but not "buddies" with AD. Even with Rose or Melo it's not like it's beyond basketball.

Westbrook is very inclusive and is only really buddies with his close friends since high school

Maybe, but he's got all his family over from Serbia. He looked really distracted by that against the Twolves and "only" put up 15/14/4/4/1. Hopefully the game not having much meaning results in a pressure free Jokic who makes no look passes and funky ass plays.

>I bet Porzingis drops a ton of bricks, he's been playing bad recently.
Again, the game having less pressure might be a relief. He's also going to play less minutes than he would at the Knicks, and it's not like he really has to worry as much about defense in this game. I reckon we'll see some nice stuff from him.

>>74264033
Because it's difficult to run the point and requires some level of intelligence. LeBron is a really smart guy, as is CP3 and Magic Johnson, most of the playmakers in the NBA are probably fairly intelligent.

Kobe bailed out Shaq several times in Portland, Kings and Pacers games throughout the early 2000s. especially when the big oaf got into foul trouble. You would know that if you weren't a casual.

Clearly Shaq was 1A and Kobe was 1B, I'm not arguing that. Shaq was more dominant than Kobe, but Kobe had the more well rounded game and, of course, rings, Ernieh.

no argument here, 2001 shaq was the most dominant force we've seen. i remember that birthday game against the clippers, saw that live and he went for 60 something iirc

>>74264859

fuck that. As a cavs fan that would be a huge fucking slap in the face to our team chemistry. RJ and fry LOVE kevin, everyone loves kevin... only lebron likes melo. Doing this trade essentially says that the team success doesn't matter and all that matters is whether Lebron likes you or not. I don't really care about Love this trade would just be suicidal.

How would adding another chucker and taking away one of our best rebounders and passers even help?

love did show up. He only got "shut down" by the warriors, but really he just had a couple bad games and that's more a credit to Golden State's game planning and match ups than it is a knock on kevin love.

Plus GSW are going to be BTFO by spurs anyway and Love would eat lemarcus aldridge alive.

Put any other star SG from that era (Iverson, Carter, Ray Allen) on that Lakers team and they still win.

He's going to be the third option in the big 3. Noel isn't gonna stay long term with Philly. Simmons, Saric, and Embiid will be their permanent front court. He'll be their Chris Bosh: get none of the credit when things go right and all of the blame when things go wrong.
