Better to start a shooting point guard instead of TJ. Like how Lebron has Kyrie. You're better off drafting Monk desu.

You guys act like the Celtics wont have Lonzo Ball or Fultz next season lmao

Ball is going to be a bust.

>>74308351

Exactly. I don't get how Ingram is a bust then.

He's like a better version of KD. And the Lakers are on pace to finish with a better record than the Sonics did in KD's first year

>>74308483
Might happen but what's even funnier is that the lakies offered all of their busts and kingies didn't take it lol I wonder how bad it will be for celcucks trading for Butler

>>74308458
Oh shit you right no way in hell would boogie resign I guess it was alright. They Coulda took all them Boston picks and fleeced the Celtics

I still don't get why Boston signed Horford.
This guy is the most lebron friendly player in the league. If they play against the Cavs they will get swept easily

>>74308521

they thought he would help bring in durant

>>74308493

Ingram clearly has intangibles and high BBIQ to add 6 more wins, even if the stats dont show it.

>>74308567
this move was stupid as fuck. his contract is huge and he is a liability against good centers

>>74308589
I can't believe that went in.

I thought Westbrook was getting ahead of himself and about to look like a fool but he took over the game and made it entertaining.

I apologize for all the bad things I said about him.

>>74308618
So Steve kerr had more basketball intangibles than LeBron James because he was on a 72 win team and lebron hasn't won more than 66?

Isn't this year's draft class supposed to be really good, though? Maybe Ainge didn't want to trade the Brooklyn picks.

>>74308648
yes

Matt Barnes waived by the Kings.

Where will he go?
Clips?
Raptors ?

Realistically, who could the Celtics get that would put them over the top against the Cavs? I feel like neither Butler nor George would cut it. I think that's why Ainge keeps not pulling the trigger, he doesn't want to make a big move if it won't be enough.

Fucking hell, all these Ingram haters.

I will wait for his BMI to be over 16 and then judge him. Dude has the will. He is skinny as fuck but does not back down from contact. He will have the length and shooting of guys like KD and Dirk but will not be a pussy to BBQ chicken when a smaller guy is matched up to him. Also the Lakers are doing a Warriors copy cat offense with none of the players being suited for it or knowing how to play it. If only Luke just says fuck it and we get to see Ingram Randle Pick and Roll all day making BBQ chicken bully ball on twinks.

Sorry but Boston, along with NY and LA are the eternal bulls when it comes to sports cities. Everyone else are the cucks. Sorry friendo.

>>74309196
That's not true at all. It's only that other players aren't good enough that he's not warranted the option.

The only time Westbrook took more shots than KD was last year and that was because their minutes were staggered with Westbrook leading the second unit more often and being the #1 scoring option, taking a lot of shots when KD is off the floor.
So don't even mention that garbage.

Ingram is too smart for good stats

>>74309238
oh he let possibly the greatest scorer of all time take more shots than him, what a nice guy.

basically what you're saying is unless you're kevin durant westbrook will ball-hog and chuck all game long?

Unironically it would have been a big man like Cousins. You need a rim stopper to shake up LeBald so he just gets scared to drive to the hoop and jacks up shots. Last year Biyombo made him cry like a bitch and Biyombo isn't even that good. Imagine Cousins bodying LeBron.

>>74309259
When Westbrook had Harden AND KD it was different and only took on that extra scoring step as he got older and was designated the #2 option.

Now he's one of the best scorers in the game and it's retarded for him to back down to anyone that isn't above him.

If PG13 or Butler played for OKC are you saying he should play second fiddle? That's ludicrous.

The Clippers and Thunder are in a race for Wilson Chandler.

Who is going to win?

OKC is probably going to throw Roberson and Payne at them, Singler if they want him.

But what are the Clippers throwing? Moute? Who else? Doc keeps going on about how he loves the bench so I doubt he'll throw anything big, especially if they're still talking about a Melo trade.

No excuses in NO now. AD, Boogie and Jrue are as talented as any big 3 in the NBA.

Buddy Hield is going to have a TON of pressure on him from here on.

He's now filling Boogie's shoes in SAC and there's no way he can do so. He's being set up to fail in a bad organization.

Guys like him need time/ He's a 4 year player, like Butler and CJ, but he hasn't had the same seasons as them.

So unless he suddenly gets better and better each year, like Butler, he's going to be out the league.

He's going to have to spend all his free time playing basketball 24/7 and practicing fundamentals like Butler until he becomes a super star.

I believe in Buddy because of what he did in college, he lead his team filled with scrubs to one of the best seasons in the NCAA, beat top teams, go to the Final 4. Only lost to Villanova, who went on the win the National Championship.

He really did look like the next Curry until he played in the NBA.

You can say there are other factors to it, but he's three point shooting was horrible in the beginning but picked up afterwards.

Still needs to get better with the defense and inside scoring.

>>74310226
Who cares how talented he is, he's uncoachable and from the looks of it, the celtics run a very particular system and rely on ball movement, and if he wouldn't buy into that, why would they waste their time? Celtics look like they want model players, look at them not resigning Sullinger because he was a fatty who shot too much.

I agree with most of this, Ingram is not ready to be judged yet.

However, he hasn't shown any shooting touch worth of being compared to KD and Dirk. He shot 60-something percent of free throws in college, he's still shooting 65% percent.

Friendly reminder that FT% is the most reliable stat to predict a prospects shooting.

I'm sure Ingram will shoot better percentages than that and will be a fine scorer, but so far his ceiling is way lower than KD, I'd say borderline allstar level.

Can we finally admit LeBron is a bust?

Is basketball iq the best indicator for who will be a future goat?

>>74310635
Thing is he was known as a shooter coming into the draft. Another player I will bring up is Nick Young. Also a shooter and in hist first year in college was shooting worse than Ingram at the free throw line but is now an 80% FT shooter.

>>74309238

Actually Memebrook had more FGA than Durant in 2012-2013 (18.7 to 17.7). The year before that,'11-'12, they shot virtually the same amount (19.2 to 19.7).

Needless to say Durant was way more efficient.

>>74310780
Fantastic so the Lakers drafted the next nick young with 2nd overall

>LeBron James: I wish I had the talent and IQ that Brandon Ingram had.

>>74310703
lelbron should've done it atleast once

all he needed to do was bring a corporate prop like jumping through a wall of sprite cans to dunk and he'd win it easily

>>74310710
Yes. He doesn't have the skills nor basketball IQ that Ingram has

Honestly, last year's entire draft has been super disappointing. I guess Simmons is still a question mark so there's hope.

Jamal Murray has shown some flashes that he can be a legit scorer, and Brogdon for the Bucks looks like a good player.

But man, most of these guys look like shitters.

>>74310810
Nick Young with High BBIQ. League is fucked now.

What's this great basketball IQ that people talk about when it comes to Ingram?

>>74310760
Yes and it just so happens that Ingram has THE best basketball IQ ever.

First ballot Hall of Fame locked in

>>74310780
There was always skeptics about his shot because of that free throw percentage.

I think he will be fine but so far he doesn't project to be elite like KD or Dirk. I don't think getting stronger will drastically change that.

+ Nick Young is a shooter in name only friend. He never shot above 45% in total FG, on 3 pointers he only shot around 40% twice on low volume. His only good shooting season is this one, at age 31.

>>74310936
Haven't you heard? Brandon Ingram has the HIGHEST basketball iq of all time and even though he's a 1 dimensional anorexic man who can't shoot, he will average a quintuple double because he has a high basketball iq.

>>74310936
He purposely plays like shit so that way Lakers her high draft picks for the future and to give enemies false sense of security

56D Scrabble

>>74310703
But seriously why is LeBronze so scared of the Glenn Robinson IIIs of the world?

OH SHIT I'M WATCHING THE KOBE INTERVIEW AND HE SAYS WESTBROOK PLAYS WITH AGGRESSION JUST LIKE HE DID!!!

>>74310978
What's that one thing he does well? Having a high basketball IQ?

>>74310936

Is this plausible? It seems in character.

>>74311532
>>74311541
So...you're admitting that you've never seen Ingram actually play then? Because he has similar stats to Giannis his first year.

Ingram has a lot of length which makes him valuable as a defender

>>74311464
As a Rockets fan, I'm shook.

>>74311566
Buddy shot well beyond the college three point line and was within NBA range.

He also did really well in pre draft practices and once shot 500 three in a row during a Celtics workout.

>>74311580
>makes him valuable as a defender
>can't defend

Really fires up my brain cells.

>>74311637

He's a fantastic defender, rarely gets beaten.

>>74311620
>shot

not made

he hasn't played a game yet and he's already annointed to join the "useless SG that can't shoot or defend" Sacramento Hall of Fame up there with JIMMERRRRR, McLemore, STAUSKAS! and ya boi Tyreke

>>74311620
But can he elevate to shoot over people that aren't college defenders? Does he have the dribble moves to get himself open against the elite athletes of the NBA as opposed to white dudes in college gyms? Does he understand how to utilize screens to get open? Is he willing to put in the effort to do so? Is there any hope of him acquiring those skills, given he's already 23? If he does, can he get dribble penetration? Can he finish at the rim?

My point is, his ability to physically shoot the NBA 3 is about the least important part of being able to be a shooter in the NBA. And the ability to be a shooter in the NBA is good, but not anywhere close to Steph like.

Giannis was drafted as a high risk project in the middle of the 1st round.

Ingram was the 2nd pick and considered to be a knockdown shooter, yet he can't shoot.

>>74311694
>>shot
>not made

But he did. You don't even watch college games. That's what he was famous for.

He made 500 three pointers in a row during a pre draft workout and 300- 200 in every other team's workout.

>>74311743
In fairness, if Ingram turns into Giannis, he'll be worth that second round pick.

I think the point here is that Ingram is terrible now, but might be good later. It's definitely too early to judge him, he doesn't have enough muscle to play the game right now.

boogie changed his twitter header =(

Can an NBA team trade for players on a non-NBA team and vice versa?

>>74311752
For the love of christ, the ability to shoot a 3 in practice is not relevant to the ability to get open and shoot a 3 in the nba.

Thng about every single rookie shooter, is coming out of college, they aren't reading physically for the heavy work load of the NBA season and 82 games in a short amount of time.

They lose leg strength after awhile. Same thing happened to Sabonis this year, he started off hot, shot 40%, now he can't make a three to save his life. He's physically not ready.

Same thing with Ray Allen in his rookie year.

You can't judge a three point shooter in their first year, you can judge a big man. But not a three point shooter in particular.

Your argument is so unrealistic it's amazing.

And if you knew anything about his college career, you'd know he shot off the dribble, off screens, off anything. He shot the three prolifically from any where on the floor.

>>74311807
sure, but the polish dude was being a pedantic little fuck about the practice thing.

i'm not even the first guy but how autistic do you have to be to read "he shot 500 threes in a row" and go "shot, not made"

>>74311807
You do realize most shooters don't get open themselves and other players do right?

Shooting in practice has a lot of baring in how they shoot open threes of a catch and shoot situation as a spot up shooter.

Let's do some forensics /nba/

Some guy comes out of nowhere and spends all his time calling ingram a bust despite no one saying that for the past week or two

The Celtics just got btfo by Vlade, who rather than deal with Ainge, he went sent Boogie to the Pelicans for peanuts

Conclusion: this is some celticfag trying to take the pressure of himself

>>74311834
>you'd know he shot off the dribble, off screens, off anything
Literally irrelevant to his ability to do that against defenders who are elite athletes, to a man.

I'm not saying "lol he's shit". I'm saying that Vivek probably literally has no understanding of what makes someone good in the NBA, and just read headlines comparing him to Curry.

Kings draft record bears out the "we have no idea how to evaluate talent" thing.

>>74311752

Steph made ~70 something threes in a row during training and that made news

the world record is 209 in a row by some 50 year old dude and that dude puts up hundreds of thousands of shots a year by himself in a gym like a pure autist

yet here you are saying this kid made twice that and then some, during a draft workout, get yerhead outta Hield's ass son

No shit, but we're talking about Buddy's star potential. The closest thing to a "star" spot up shooter is Klay, and Klay is TIRELESSLY running around screens, and also an elite on ball defender.

>>74311893

>>74311805
you can trade draft rights. like the 76ers could have traded Dario Saric to another NBA team before they called him up from his Turkish team. basically you can trade the right to call up a non-NBA player into the NBA

>>74311944
And Klay was trash his rookie year so great thought process there.

B: Basketball
I: IQ

B.I.

Brandon Ingram.

Coincidence?

>>74310296
Hield doesn't even have Seth Curry potential

>>74312007
Klay shot 41% from 3 his rookie year, with a 15 PER. Buddy is shooting 37, with a 10 PER. Klay was more than a year younger than Buddy.

What HoFers are comparable to Brandon Ingram?

So, which wing players can the Pelicans acquire to become actually good?

>>74312116
Christian Laettner

>>74312128
They can get Lebron, he'll be a FA

Anyone else considering leaving this place permenantly? Shitposting out of control, and technically it's on topic, so we can't do anything

>>74312116

>>74311393
Houston can't beat Cleveland four times in a best of seven though

>>74312105

Also look at their attempts not just the percentages.

>>74312116

Three point shot: Yao
Mid range shot: Shaq
Rebounding: Dumars

Tucker and Chandler are significantly better than Casspi. Especially Chandler.

Barnes sucks.

>>74312260
If you shoot 40% with only one three made a game that's not great.

That's just coming off the bench and not shitting up the joint.

Now look at Klay who shoots 40% on 3 made a game.

That's great.

I don't know why, but I've always like Barnes.

>>74312370
Because Danny Ainge is legitimately the worst drafter in the NBA. The guy always reaches so goddamn far. Rozier and Brown were both projected to go way later than they did

>>74312383
So the differences are so minuscule yet you're acting like it's a massive difference.

Get a life.

>>74312392
Nah, Orlando and Sacramento are demonstrably worse.

Ainge just overvalues "grit" and "intangibles" and "defense" and shit.

>>74312392
You say that, but Brown has shown more than year than Ingram has, and with more limited minutes as well.

What do you think I'm arguing? Buddy shoots worse, with a worse PER, on the same amount of shots, while being a year older than Klay. He's never going to be a star unless he can add to his skillset.

You say that, but the kid's a fucking rookie who hasn't even had many opportunities because he's on a second-place team that's trying to win.

This is just a false narrative by a faggot with an agenda.

Watch and see. Jaylen Brown is going to be good.

>>74312439
All that and it's marginally "worse" as if it's such a big deal.

You're literally splitting hairs and using it as a basis that Buddy is shit and can't improve or ever be a star because his rookie stats thus far are slightly less than Klay Thompson.

By your argument Ray Allen was literally Buddy tied and a bust.
