>guys who told the Celtics to fuck off
Lonzo Ball

The Celtics may be the most disrespected #1 overall owner in recent history. These rookies probably want to play in a garbage team like Philadelphia, Minnesota, LA or Sacramento where they can inflate their stats than earn their stripes on the bench for a postseason team.

well hes top 10 in point guards so it makes sense, that is if you do it by top 50 with 10 per position

center - russell, kareem, wilt, shaq, olajuwon, robinson, ewing, malone, mikan, reed
power forward - duncan, malone, barkley, garnett, dirk, petit, mchale, hayes, rodman, schayes
small forward - bird, lebron, pippen, erving, baylor, durant, worthy, wilkins, havlicek, barry
shooting guard - mj, kobe, west, wade, iverson, drexler, jones, miller, gervin, allen
point guard - magic, robertson, stockton, payton, kidd, cousy, isiah, nash, curry, cp3

why are ya'll acting like the warriors are so superior to the cavs? love and tristan played like garbage for most the time and it still should've been 2-2

>>76645032
This is what Pacers would have to do, but that only works if Pacers are satisfied by just barely making the playoffs as Kevin Love won't give you a proper rebuild. He still has 3 years left on his contract.

Honestly, keeping Paul George or trading for Kevin Love is retarded for the Pacers. It's obvious they won't win a championship or are in a position to win one in the next few years. They're stuck in NBA hell which is not a championship contending team or a proper rebuilding team. They're mediocre with no good future in sight.

Should the Bulls trade Butler so they don't have to be a .500 team who get middle of the road draft picks, and instead be a worse team but get better picks to use for trading?

>>76645438
The Bulls need to do fucking SOMETHING with Butler, and they also need to realize that nobody who wants him thinks he's worth what they're asking. The Celtics don't, the Cavs don't, nobody fucking does. The Bulls are stupid, and eventually Butler's just going to leave in free agency if they don't swallow their pride and get what they can for him.

>>76645545
What do the Cavs have to offer? NOTHING. Butler worth more than any assets the Cavs have. We haven't trade Butler yet because our GM is scared of rebuilding

>>76645618
I'm just saying, the Cavs are one of the teams that would be interested in Butler in a serious way. So would the Celtics, maybe the Sixers, and a few other teams. But every time one of them makes an offer (usually just the Celtics), the Bulls ask too much. They need to be realistic about what Butler is worth, because while he's worth a lot he's not worth as much as a genuine superstar, because he isn't one.

Lakers will suck again and C's will have two top 3 picks in next year's draft

They the didn't look too bad after Boogie, they will most likely add three top 10 picks going into that season and Hield/Skal will be in their 3rd years.

The Pacers will try to fleece the Celtics and there are no players outside of Horford who can absorb George's salary.

Blake isn't leaving LA for less money and if the Celtics sign Hayward with the max then there will be no cap space left for him without gutting the entire bench.

That's why dumping the manlet and Bradley are a priority.

From his POV the powerlevel between the top 1-5 rookies are the same.

He could be packaging one or both picks with a trade. If he only owned the 2017 #1 he'd have to fork the 2018 pick as well which is really valuable.

Now he can fork the #3 and 2018/2019 bonus picks for someone like Butler.

That actually is fucking well played by Ainge. He has security in any future trade for a star or he can just draft a good player. People were so pissed about him trading the #1 but in reality it was a good deal.

>>76649790
>Now he can fork the #3 and 2018/2019 bonus picks for someone like Butler.
That makes no sense given his previous statements.

He believes the #1 is too much to give up. He's not going to give up both the #3 and the LAL/SAC pick. He's going to give up one of them and keep the other, either to draft or for a future deal.

I think the Cavs have all the pieces a team can reasonably expect to compete at a very high level for a championship, just because the Dubs have more doesn't mean the cavs can sit here bitching about how Lebron has no help.

Lebron had his team around him, the other team just had much more and was better.

That's what I've been saying. The only people who actually want this to happen are bandwagon Cleveland fans. Why not just delete the entire conference and have the all-star teams play each other? It's basically what's happening right now. The era of roleplayers is over.

This league is trash now and it's all LeBitch's fault.

>SF: PG

So you 2 would prefer for meme state to go uncontested for the next 3 years? Every other team has the same opportunity to get better but they're sitting around with their thumbs up their asses. It's why I don't fault teams like Cleveland, Boston, etc. making moves. If Houston is happy being a meme shitshow or the spurs/okc like being one man bands then that's on them

does anyone think replacing Love with PG or Butler pushes them over GSW?

I still don't see how they'd win with a joke of a coach

>>76650142
Sm58 is pretty iconic, its like recognizing a Spalding basketball, sure there are other basketballs but Spalding is the only one that matters

Tldr; you mad

>>76650360

It's ironic. The more he ringchases the LESS endorsements he gets because he's seen as a bitch and a coward and nobody wants to associate their brand with a snake.

He would have more money, more endorsements, AND more bitches had he stayed in OKC

>>76650369

Dunn is still a pretty attractive piece and the twolves are starting to clog at PG, especially if Rubio's play stays elevated. Lavine also has allstar written all over him, depending on how he recovers, and might be a more attractive piece than Wiggins espcially in terms of advanced stats. They still have draft picks too

>>76650360
Probably, since he just won the championship and is partnered with Nike, Nike wants to push KD's publicity to the MAX now more than ever.

>>76650374
The problem is no one wants to play for other teams. The 2 contenders are Cleveland and Golden State for the next 2 years at least. All the other teams have 1 or 2 all-stars who try hard but end up getting stomped by LeBron and his group of cronies or the elite 4 on Golden State. I'm pretty sure Danny Ainge isn't making any moves right now because he's literally waiting until this era ends.

You can't just be Denver and ask 4 superstars to sign with you randomly and hope they accept it.

>>76650409

SM57 is the iconic one. SM58 is the meme one

>>76650422
Dunn, 7th pick and next year 1st round pick probably wouldn't be enough unless literally nobody else offers them anything

>>76650435
>I'm pretty sure Danny Ainge isn't making any moves right now because he's literally waiting until this era ends.
Where is this retarded take coming from? Boston added a big FA last year and they're planning to add another one this year. They're making moves, but they're selective about the moves they make. Compare that to dumbass teams like Washington and Toronto who give up assets to make moves that don't do anything for the team.

That's bullshit. Players want to go to the spurs. Houston is attractive to players. Washington, Clippers (lol), Memphis, etc. all have the capacity to get better and make moves but they aren't. They're getting outmaneuvered by a team with next to no assets and no draft picks for the next trillion years. You and they can fuck off with their whining. OKC is really the only team that looks completely fucked

>>76650463
Because Ainge is literally hoarding draft picks for the next 5 years and sitting there waiting until someone offers him a superstar. Al Horford isn't going to help Boston win anything. He's literally the only "big" FA that signed with them.
