>>74980198
Im rooting for NC desu, would be a nice fuck to you to Adam Silver

>blazers only centers for the next two weeks or more are an injured meyers leonard and an out of position noah vonleh

what kind of hell is this?

>>74980210
You played too well.
The league did this so the Warriors couldn't be challenged in the first round.

>>74980210
how has Vonleh been? I actually wanted him over Randle, seemed like he had a higher ceiling

>>74980206
I got Oregon vs Gonzaga meme finals.

>>74980230
the worst thing is ive seen a bunch of fans of other teams trying to sympathize saying they know what its like and giving us tips like philly you drafted an injured embiid and noel thats not the same thing as getting HOFers fucked by injuries for 40 years

Can anyone beat the Warriors this year? Cavs look shook as fuck and the Spurs dont seem too hot either. Other higher seeded teams are good but not really on their level sadly.

>>74980235
vonleh has actually been fantastic lately (outside of the houston game), over the last ~2 months hes been really solid on D and fouling less, plus a great rebounder and has been more consistent on offense (which to be honest isnt really expected of him since hes the 5th option)

he has a rep for being a bust but hes actually coming into it right now, the next two weeks will show if hes actually started to put it together or not

>>74980261
yeah i remember when he played the lakers he had a shit ton of rebounds

big guys take longer to develop, which is why im not worried too much about bender yet

>implying i care about some meme law
>implying i don't just want to see my home state get some national attention that they deserved when they got the asg

>>74980283
yeah hes averaging something like 12 and 12 per 36 for the season which includes the start when he was kind of struggling, the blazers future success basically depends entirely on how much he can develop since his ceiling is practically the roof

that is, assuming no other teams decide to bend over and give us an insane trade like denver did

The Celtics are garbage outside of Thomas.

They can't even dispose of the Cucks and Magic.

They literally need him to go full AI otherwise they would lose.

The Warriors can have Steph brick shot after shot and still win thanks to Klay and/or Durant.

>>74981773
Celtics have no elite players outside Thomas, while the Warriors had a homegrown big 3. Unless Jae Crowder decides to be as impactful as Draymond, it's gonna be tough for the Celtics and they might end up like the Hawks instead.

>>74983738
Thanks. I would die laughing if they made it to the WCF, and knocked the Cavs out of the playoffs. I ain't delusional, and know they won't win no chip this year. We have the WORST head coach in the NBA in Hoiberg and the WORST front office in the NBA.

and to think this team was hastily put together post-trade deadline 2015 composed primarily with strangers and they still made playoffs

just look at them now

Tank bros, how are your teams doing? Knicks fan here and we have a good chance of losing out the rest of the schedule, but we have to hope they don't decide to show up against Boston because of the rivalry and that Chicago keeps playing well. And Washington might drop the game because its the end of the season and they won't want to go too hard, but we should be able to finish the season with one or no wins. Brooklyn also has us beat already but we can still pass the Magic and Sixers to get to second worst in the east.

Knicks fucked up last night beating the Heat, sad part about is our fanbase is so deluded we actually have fools applauding a collection of youth winning a game against a hot team and ruining our odds.

These same people probably applauded when THJ hit the game winner, since it was measurable 'growth' for a player than wasn't even there the next year, also ruined our odds of getting KAT.

I just hope the ping pong balls are favorable to us this year honestly, we're so fucked

>get #1 draft pick
>shitty draft with no transcendent #1 pick
Celtics fuck up ahaha

>>74986944
Anyone who roots for there team to lose isn't a fan and should stop watching the NBA.

>>74986967
Our team is sitting both of our major acquisitions/"stars" if you will in Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose. The intention clearly isn't to win as we've been eliminated from playoff contention

However, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for teams in our situation is a draft pick. This draft is meant to be especially deep, and we ruin our chances of falling within the top five by winning games that our meaningless to us given it's unlikely this roster will remain intact over the next season (based on Phil's previous offseason decisions at least).

>>74986822
Lakeys taking it to the next level by benching Ingram and now Zubac. They even sent Nwaba back to the DLeague after it became apparent that he was putting in 100% effort to win games. Lakers will either run short handed the rest of the season or call up some absolutely literal whos from the DLeague. I don't see them winning another game.

>>74986967
this i blame numales for this epidemic

>>74986998
Would like to see my boy Vander Blue get some burn, he was absolute trash last time he got PT for the Lakers. They should call him up and start him next to Clarkson

>>74986944
Agreed, but like I said, they at least have a difficult end of the season stretch that's great for tanking. Plus they play the Sixers last so they have a chance to jump below them in the standings with that especially if Philly wins before that game.
>>74986967
It's rooting for long term growth, I don't like losing but losing now and getting Lonzo is better than getting two or three more wins and more of the same in the future

>>74981868
Find yourself a couple teams to watch, learn their players and keep up with the teams you like. You'll learn it all naturally if you simply watch them play. Also watch big moments in NBA history on YT, loads of great things to see.

I think we are just going to see a lot of minutes for Tyler Ennis, but that still only leaves a 3 guard lineup. If they sent back Nwaba for the DLeague playoffs, I'm not sure if they'll even call up anyone. We might see the return of Guard Ingram and minutes for Metta.

>>74987012
Philly is so short handed with something like 1/3rd of their roster remaining intact I could actually see us pulling out the W against them.
I can't lie, Chasson Randle played well and I actually had a smirk on my face for the first time in a long time while watching a Knicks game, but I would legitimately be surprised to see anyone on this roster not named Melo, Noah, KP, Vujacic (for whatever reason) or Willy at the start of next season.

>>74987037
There are so many popular shitty teams right now, and a lot of teams with the most exciting prospects are like right outside the playoffs.
>>74987045
Tyler Ennis is absolute garbage, he single-handedly helps us lose games that are within reach. My only worry is Johnson is auditioning the rookies for the purpose of a trade with the Pacers

Wouldn't it be better if they changed it so that the team with the best record that didnt make the playoffs get the highest % in the lottery?
Why would you ever reward teams losing on purpose

>>74987090
Brooklyn isn't losing on purpose, were they to have their pick I don't think it makes sense to punish them for just not having talent/injuries. They could really use some young inexpensive talent that has no choice but to play there for seven years.

I feel like tanking takes care of itself, Philly has tanked for years and still doesn't have much to show for it besides a possible future dominate big in Embiid if he can play more than 30 games in the next three years.

>logon to reddit
>find out that now /r/nba is invite only and no longer allowed to shitpost about steph curry and charles barkley

jesus no wonder I left that place. I guess I'm gonna have to stick to 4chan then.

Anyways, what's up ya'll? How goes it? I'm just wondering, what are the chances westbrook wins MVP? IMO it's a close one between him and harden, with curry in the mix

>>74987090
but then the teams at the bottom would be at the bottom forever

>>74987140
Curry would definitely be in the conversation had KD been injured from day one, he's outplayed both MVPs in the last week. Right now I see Harden winning it with Westbrook second in votes, some combination of Kawhi, Lebron and Isaiah Thomas as additional runner ups.

>>74987140
0 chance. It is LeBron, Harden or Kawaii. No one else has a record high enough to do it. Since Rockets are top 3 in the west, it'll probably go to him since Leonard isn't flashy enough and there is too much voter fatigue with Lebron.

>>74987131
Fair point. I was just under the impression that there are teams in the league losing on purpose cause they won't make the playoffs anyway.

>>74987153
Well.. they could still be lucky and get a high pick, but yeah I get your point

lmao Cavs still trying to avoid us, sad!

>>74987090
I don't think it's for lack of trying for the most purpose, sure we have a lot of teams that have been mathematically eliminated already hoping to increase their draft odds at this point, but looking at the bottom ten teams.

Lakers, Suns, Kings, Wolves, and Mavericks in the west

Nets, Magic, 76ers, Knicks and Pistons in the east

Just about all of these teams started off the season as if they were trying. My Knicks were in playoff contention at the end of the New Year IIRC, the Lakers bust out the gate looking like the team they become on 2k smacking the Warriors.

The Pelicans were just unlucky, whether the DMC trade continues that streak is yet to be determined.

Wolves looked confident with a lineup with a reigning ROTY, Wiggins and new head coach.

Pistons had shown promise last year, even in the sweep if you watch the games they played hard against the Cavs.

I couldn't tell you what the Magic are doing but it's not tanking, they spent a lot of money and traded young talent away for experienced vets last summer.

Kings were flirting with the playoffs when they had Boogie.

Let's say Denver winds up with the best record just outside of the playoffs, to me it doesn't make sense to reward them for being borderline decent enough to make it and punish Boston for taking advantage of front office incompetence.

Not as though the first overall pick is a sure thing.

>>74987192
As great as the Heat have been playing, even with Waiters back I don't see you guys pushing playoff Lebron to anything more than five games.

Good on Pat Riley though for building something respectable out of a line up of former D league players though, he and Popp literally never cease to amaze me year after year.

Let's get it Rapties

>>74987294

sadly I'm not even sure the heat will makes the playoffs with Dion Waiters out. Tied in losses with the bulls after losing what should have been an easy win vs. the knicks. Looks like their cinderella season is about to peter out.

In the world of fantasy, nothing is impossible.

I think you have to give the MVP to Harden, he's captured the third seed all the while being surrounded by a supporting cast of Patrick Beverly, Eric Gordon, Trevor Ariza, Nene, Dekker, Lou Will, Ryan Anderson, KJ McDaniels, Corey Brewer, Tyler Ennis and Clint Capela. Odds are he chokes in the playoffs as per the usual but it's a regular season award.

I was a bit more cautiously optimistic than some of my friends and family and had us pegged for like the 7th or 8th seed. I imagine we'll probably fuck the tank up further as well.

>>74988389
Wonder if any of these guys in this draft will become all time greats.

>>74988486
Yeah it's crazy how it's all a crap shoot no matter where you pick. The third overall pick can be Wes Johnson and the 30th can get you Jimmy Butler

>>74987669

I just found out Isaiah Thomas was picked dead last in the NBA draft


I think theres some players that never saw the court that could have been all stars but the coaching staff or the scouts just never gave them the chance.

>>74988635
I can't even imagine all the studs who probably waste their prime mulling around in the D league or overseas. I was thinking maybe the D league would get more attention now that it's sponsored by Gatorade, and way more teams seem to be investing in it.

MyGM is amazing this year but I can't for the life of me win in MyGM's simulation, whereas I always win in MyLeague with the default sliders.

Built a Mavericks team of

Lonzo Ball (93 overall)
Devin Booker (90 overall)
Lebron (95)
Kristaps (89)
Jokic (88)

With Zion Williamson other and 80s off the bench. Still got bounced in the second round.

>>74988775
Tank in full effect, would suck dick for the Lakers if they lost their pick. I'd feel terrible for them

We all know the Lakers are going to get Lonzo Ball.

>>74988967
I wonder if they regret letting Kobe Byrant run their franchise into the ground to preserve his legacy yet.

Wonder if they finally understand he did not give a single fuck about the Lakers and was merely rigging things to be all about himself and his legacy.
Now they will be shit for a decade and stuck missing "muh kobe" instead of accepting he never did shit without a great supporting cast and was actually a washed up ball hog drama queen ruining their team for the last 5 years of his career.

I mean idc, fuck the Lakers, but I wonder if they regret it yet. Or if they blindly fell into his his trap of praising him because they have nothing else.

>>74989238
I feel like the Lakers will be good again within a few years provided they can find a suitable trade partner for those Mozgov and Deng contracts (Pacers have one PG who's expressed he'll only resign with the Lakers), didn't take hindsight to see they'd be problematic given both players are on the wrong side of 30.

Lol if Kobe's legacy is genuinely a draw for Paul George, and they're able to add the top ten small forward to a young core then sign a few other vets, I could see them being back in the playoffs. It would have been worth it, I think.

>>74989294

PG13 isn't going to the lakers. He likes Indiana and they have a real future with Turner if they can get some better supporting parts. Besides, nobody is turning down 200 mil. None of the bigtime free agents are leaving during this cba

I think Ingram stole Julius's skill desu, Randle has been ass for the past few games

>>74989421
>if they can get some better supporting parts
Pacers have a budget though, they don't exceed the cap. They're already expressing interest in trading away their draft pick meaning they'll likely bring in another veteran role player that doesn't quite fit (Monta Ellis, Jeff Teague, Al Jefferson, Brooks) and remain in basketball purgatory.

Not bad enough to draft some immediate help, and not good enough to advance past the first round. If Bird thinks George isn't remaining in Indiana he'd probably rather trade him than watch him walk away for nothing, a la Denver and Carmelo.

>Pacers and Laker fans acting like PG13 is more than a 3rd option on a championship team

>>74989536
I don't think anybody thinks George can lead a team to a title without some serious help, but he definitely moves the needle for the Lakers at least enough to help them slip into the playoffs.

>>74989536
>>74989558
PG13 is going to the Heat. You heard it here first.

>>74989558
If Cousins and AD can't slip into the playoffs, PG and the Lakers young core most certainly will not

lonzo
dlo
ingram
paul george
mosgov

stop this team
pro-tip: you cant

>>74989591
Cousins and AD have played together for the grand total of a month? And some change maybe? Nobody knows what the ceiling for that team is

Not to mention any starter besides them on that team not named Jrue Holiday is not the least bit competent, they gutted the entirety of their roster to acquire Cousins.

Have no idea what a post trade Lakers with PG-13 would look like but D'angelo post all star break is already better than something like 90% of the non-all star players on the Pelicans

>>74989617
Yes you can. If you beat them in a 7 game series you will.

Basketball discussion died when it moved from gamethreads and random topic thread to generals. Blame the 1 minute post cooldown and catalog.

>>74990268
2k definitely improved this year must say, was very impressed with starting in the off season. Usually can get a pick in the top ten for a few veteran contracts, that's good enough for Jamal Murray, Dragon Bender, Thon Maker, all 19 with good potential


You can get some good value contracts that first year and tank while getting draft picks for the DEEP draft class in 2017

Typically might go out and sign guys like Allen Crabbe, Patrick McCaw, Wade Baldwin, Dejounte Murray, Andrew Harrison, Juan Hernangomez, Richaun Holmes, Davis Bertans and Skal Labissiere for the minimum on five year deals or the longest available.

Start

Murray
Baldwin
McCaw
Bertans
Hernangomez

Insert the player you drafted into that lineup and just tank for Ball or Fultz. Sign a third star in free agency and you'll win at least six titles after that

>>74990767
