/nba/ - the call that saved Cleveland edition

Nothing is saving Cleveland now that it's confirmed he's leaving.

The banana boat crew will be a team on the clippers in 2018, cap this.

>golden state cucks

>punching bag of the NBA for 40 years

>take Curry with 7th pick, timberwolves with 5th and 6th pick, take two other shit point guards

>Continue to build through the draft

>make some smart trades for David Lee, and Andre Iguodala

>Continue to build through the draft

>Steve Nash and Steve Kerr show up and coach the boys to Ship level

>Finally a franchise worth caring about

Feels good to be a golden state cuck, we did it organically. Maybe if your (insert team here) was any good or reputable you could have gotten KD

Also remember after Shaq left, they took a nosedive. They only won two more titles and there were no Warios. Lebron would get trashed in the West.

>pay cut

its not really a cut, its just that the overall cap is getting higher for the next few years because of TV deals and such. Also, KD has a 10 year veteran status to sign for a long term deal that pays him more over time, and goes up a little bit every year as the cap increases.

Do you guys think that NBA executives and the commissioner think that NBA fans are legitimately retarded? I think they do.

This is the league that has had the following:

>no parity for its entire existence
>a referee imprisoned for fixing a playoff series
>conspiracies that referees call games in a way to make the league the most money/best result/best storyline
>conspiracies about the draft being rigged
>call basketball a "team sport" yet all they ever talk about and advertise are the biggest individual superstars
>the best teams freely rest their top players because of how worthless the NBA regular season is, even though the teams advertise these top players as "why to come watch the game", because they know they will make the playoffs and win anyway
>NBA and sports media literally hand in hand, where the NBA media constantly spews tabloid articles and hot take garbage to keep the superstars in the spotlight and create drama/storylines between them to keep the NBA's dumbshit teenager and social media addicted fans attached to the league like it's a reality shot

No one, Lebron needs to learn how to take over in the 4th and TT/JR/Love need to learn how not to freeze during playoffs.

in everygame they had a starter no show or with low Scoring % and love wasnt strong defensively like in the regular season.

As a Lakers fan, that team was not great bro. From an offensive standpoint, Lakers felt like they weren't as fluid as the 2009 team as Artest just didn't fit in as well as Ariza did. 2011 was more of the same, but just very tired from having been in 3 straight finals. I'm still pretty pissed that Odom wasn't an all star that year when he was amazing that year.

Spurs front office will be unwilling to give up rookies or core players. For me, if CP3 REALLY wanted to play for a team that can make it past the 2nd round, he'd have to prove worthy by taking a pay cut so the Spurs don't have to sacrifice more than they'd be willing to in order to get him. Also I think the new alternate symbol looks fine. It's not good, but not bad.

Clips is having a moment of euphoria, between this and the new stadium for the Clippers, it's all too much.

>>76555155

Gasol was being shipped out as a part of the deal for CP3. Bynum would have still been traded for Howard the following summer, so it woulda been:

CP3
Kobe
Artest
???
D12

I bet they would have won 55 games and possibly made the finals with that squad.

Jerry West prevents teams from fucking themselves, and his presence alone affects players. He stopped the Warriors from trading Klay and HB for Kevin Love, and had a huge influence in their drafts and in getting Kevin Durant.

dude just stop it with chris paul nonsense, not happening.

the point guard problem will solve itself. mills is gonna get paid big buxxx in philly to play off simmons and embiid, and that's okay. i'll miss him but desu ever since he started his retarded swimwear fashion business with his bimbo girlfriend he kinda lost me a bit. doesn't feel like he's the guy he used to be. i mean, fuck it i'll even be a bit glad to never hear bill land go "G'DAY MATE" again.

the spurs will sign a decent vet for the year and run murray as the primary backup for a few months. parker will return in january and then they'll mix and match rotations and see what sticks. murray is the future. once he drops his stupid caps shtick on twitter it'll mean he's ready to roll. that'll be the untucked shirt equivalent of the millenial generation.

gasol to brooklyn. simmons to some happy place where he gets paid handsomely. hanga is a fine replacement. green is GOOD don't trade my boy danny. i value his defense and team-friendly contract, and he's a veteran presence now.

trading aldridge would be neat but i don't see it happening. maybe dallas if noel leaves; too bad free agency starts after the draft. aldridge and the spurs first in like 2019 for the dallas #9 this year doesn't sound unfair, but the mavs would only do that if they addressed their roster needs in free agency, like signing jrue holiday would make drafting ntilikina or dennis smith superfluous. maybe lakers if the george trade happens and they decide to enter full attack mode. wouldn't mind having san antonio homeboy clarkson coming off the bench. or heck, start for the time being.
