Realistically there must be SOME NBA players here on 4chan. The league is full of twenty to thirty year old guys that grew up on the internet, at least a few of them have to have spent time here.

I'll bet Kyrie has posted on 4chan. Kyrie seems like a 4chan kind of guy. Fuck, I'll bet he's posted on /x/. I bet /x/ is who convinced Kyrie the earth is flat.

are and1 ballers respected or considered just clowns?

>>76637953
literally everyone.

there's a reason why philly has used all these high draft picks and still sucks fucking ass every fucking year.

y'all overrate your busty broken down players

>Embiid gets injured again

Back to the drawing board philly. Better hope hinkie accepts the job again.

Iirc some guy here was a ball boy for a day after some contest for the Pacers or something and was browsing here during practice...not knowing there was a no phone policy for everyone.. Lance snuck up behind him and started looking at his phone over the shoulder and said "oh i know that site. Uh huh nothing good happens there."

I probably shouldn't have said confirmed but likely is probably closer

He's getting moved before the draft so that the Pacers can get picks for this year too.

This is why Boston did the Fultz trade before the draft.

Get it done Danny.

>>76638145
Now see, this makes me think the Celtics might actually trade for him after all. If the Pacers are desperate Ainge might get him cheaply, cheap enough to be worth it even if it's only a rental.

>>76638145
BUT WHERE?

does cleve have anything other than klove? who will replace klove?

boston and philly have picks and assets, nooooo! not them please god not them.

>>76638145
Paul George is not worth a top 5 pick since every team except the Lakers thinks he will bolt on them. The best they can hope for is maybe the 8th pick from the Knicks or the 10th pick from the Kings and PG is definitely leaving those teams.

Indiana is going to get scared into making a bad move and the Lakers will step in and give them D'Lo or they get nothing. Pacers will get D'Lo and D'Lo will go on to be a bust with Indy.

More like Clarkson, Randle, and one of Deng or Mozgov. Take PG and whatever shit contract Indiana doesn't want going forward.

>>76638190
>LA trading anything for him
>when he wants to go there in FA anyways

Knicks are taking Frank and creating a Euro squad identity. Porzingis, Gomez, Frank all euros. Maybe they're able to get melo off and tank properly to end up with doncic. They just need to ditch hornacek, doesn't seem to be a good fit to lead that team.

4 man euro squad.

>>76638145
Celtics should trade Jaylen for PG13. Maybe Jaylen is all they would need to trade. If not, they can throw in Bradley and maybe one of their six first rounders.

As of now, the Celtics have the most assets to give to Indiana. PG13 probably does not want to be in Boston at all, but if the Celtics get close to the finals he might want to stay. I think it's worth the gamble for Ainge. If PG13 bolts, just use his cap space to sign someone else.

>>76638241
They also have another 1st rounder, Clarence gaines is an excellent scout and will find somebody serviceable in the late 1st.

>>76638209

>>76638209
He quit when Pacers got bounced

You guys are fucking idiots. Paul George didn't tank his trade value. He went to management and PRIVATELY told them that he was gonna leave in 2018. NOBODY else knew. Someone then leaked it and THAT dropped his value. PG did a very nice and responsible thing by telling management early so that they could trade him and get good value. He has given the Pacers 7 great years and several deep playoff runs. If he wants to go back home to LA(which I doubt) let him.

Americans you'd all be like KD, half of you still are, if not for Australians on 4chan

you're welcome

Paul George is 27 years old and not even a top 15 player after his injury. On top of that, he might be a one year rental. I doubt Indiana will get anything other than D'Lo or picks for him. Not even going to talk about signing him to a Horford sized contract. That is way too much for a guy who can't even make the 3rd All-NBA team.

Neither Butler nor PG13 move the needle that much in the meme 3 era. Anybody who trades for them can't view them as the face of the franchise.

>>76638295
> Someone then leaked it and THAT dropped his value.
Ok so,

either there's someone in the pacers organization that is braindead retarded that leaked it

or paul george (or his "people") leaked it, which is a reflection on PG

If you're a Pacers fan, you better hope it was the latter.

How can one turk be soo wrong? Have you ever seen lonzo play my turk-non?

Do you think Durant has ever posted on /d/?

Boston will take tatum. They showed interest in Melo before and now they have a chance to draft a rookie with a similar upset all while molding him into not having all of Melo's bad attributes like not passing the fucking ball.

>>76639435
Here's the deal: Lonzo makes everyone around him better so he doesn't need to burden a scoring load. Here's your 2018-19 WCF champs:

PG: Lonzo Ball
SG: CJ McCollum
SF: Paul George
PF: Julius Randle
C: Ivica Zubac

>>76639464

is it just me or does Lonzo Ball get uglier every time you see him?

Warriors = USA
Cavs = USSR

Lebron is Uncle Joe.

>>76639916

I say it's both ways he wants to play and contend on the cavs for a year and then move to LA regardless of outcome

>>76639921
wtf i hate my country now

>>76639921
It's obviously the other way around with Cavs = USA

If the cavs do get george, who's got fat enough contracts to be moved? jr smith gotta be part of the package i guess

Paul George isn't even worth D'Lo straight up. George will be way too expensive in 2018 for a guy who is not even top 15.

I hope the Cavs take George so the Lakers can continue to focus on rebuilding and not get wild fantasies about turning their not so great assets into superstars trades. Wait for your fucking assets to become more valuable with age. Jesus.

#2 and dumping one of Mozgov/Deng?

I don't like it desu

>>76640233
but pg3 is top 15 though. just my problem with a possible trade is that they will over pay this year for him

Will there be a point when a player can no longer receive a max offer without any negotiations? Right now too many teams are flushed with money. It deludes the talent and drives up the price.

You people realize that some teams like the Timberwolves won't be able to afford a bench when Wiggins and KAT get their contracts? Timberwolves don't bring in any revenue.

Just fucking contract ten teams already. This new star driven league doesn't need 30 teams. Fuck off flyover states.

The Cavs won't beat the Warriors next season either, and so PG won't get his ring, so he'll just come to LA without the Lakers having to give up anything. Did the Lakers see the Celtics trade and feel like the had to make a move, too? What is this bullshit?

stop with this meme. The knicks are trying to forge an identity with the triangle/euro players. They have all of their draft picks and Phil has yet to trade one. They have good scouts which is a saving grace for them. The media is so fucking stupid they don't understand that the triangle isn't some mysterious hard to crack system. There's other teams that have adopted triangle sets like the warriors.

I want PG but not this year, I'll take my chances next year in FA even if he goes to Cleveland

Ball is just what we need and Ingram needs more touches, bringing PG right now would eat into that. Plus I wanna see what Randle can do after his hard work this offseason

>>76640355
George isn't coming to the Lakers if he gets traded to the Cavs.

Magic is too riddled with AIDS to play hardball. It's a real liability for the franchise.

On a less serious note, I do think the Lakers should pass on George. It's not like George is even capable of making them a playoff team. They might be a 40 win team, but that's it. Also, they fucked their team royally when they signed Mozgov and Deng. Best to just wait out those contracts and stretch them when need be (now not being a good time). Lakers fucked up so bad last year that they should simply stay away from big contracts this year. You can't just erase big mistakes like Mozgov and Deng. It's not feasible.

I'm just the one Lakers fan with common sense. Lakers have two gigantic shit contracts on their payroll. They can't just make them disappear in trades like pixie dust. It will cost them young talent which is stupid to do.

Lakers fans need to realize Kupcheck fucked up royally when he signed Deng and Mozgov. That was basically the death knell of our contending hopes for the next four years. We're not landing a big free agent. Build from within first. It's the only way.

BUT, what if the Celtics were to trade for Butler and the Lakers snag PG? Could Hayward possibly come home to Indiana?

not even memeing: what is paul george even elite at anymore?

he used to be a good defender but the last great defensive season he had was 2013, and now he's a bad defender post-leg snap

he's not a super efficient offensive player

he's in his late 20s

Did anyone here who wasn't memeing actually think Magic was going to make things better? Have you people ever actually heard Magic talk about the nuts and bolts of basketball? He's a total moron. He was dogshit as an analyst on ESPN. He knows nothing about constructing a winning basketball team. It's like automatically assuming Michael Jordan could MAKE a team win just because he was so great as a player. The team-running skillset is totally different from the sport-playing skillset. Magic knows nothing about how to run a front office. If the Lakers actually let him make decisions it will be as bad as when Isaiah Thomas ran the Knicks.

I feel like the last couple of years has been Ainge sort of priming the Bulls to give him Butler for cheap. Like you say, Butler's not a franchise guy, BUT he's a very good player. He's a good player to pair with a true superstar. So obviously the Celtics want him, but they don't want to break the bank getting him, because they want to still have ammo to get a true superstar. I feel like it's all been a long game by Ainge to get Butler, but only at the price he wants.
