Horford is fine, at worst he becomes an expiring. Isaiah we'll see. There's not enough minutes for everyone as is, of course that means no more Jerebko but still it seems loaded no matter what they do with the pick. Trading it with Smart or Rozier or Bradley for Butler seems likely however.

When will GMs learn to not sign manlet players if they want to win championships?

>>76653415

I think you mean:
Durant


Real talk, I hate Durant so fucking much, but he's a damn good player. He's the only reason why the Warriors haven't begun their descent into mediocrity.

were the 90s the most physical era in basket ball?

Spurs fans, do you think Manu will retire? He said that he isn't sure if he'll play next season. He made an announcement pretty early last off season.

Will Parker at least be as good as he was last season? I know he wasn't great last year, but he did show up for the playoffs. I also think Murry should be the starting point guard next year, even when Parker comes back and is 100% healthy

Have you autismos is /nba/ apologized for being wrong and getting btfo again?! I am surprised anyone even takes the shit that spews out of your retarded mouths seriously anymore.

You know what to do, MJ

Lol, everyone shit on Durant for joining Warriors. Even with the circumstances surrounding it, every off season that LeBron loses a finals he goes and begs every superstar available to join him. Instead of looking into the real reason they lost.... Their ball movement is utter shit. It's either a LeBron kick out to a corner shooter, or it's Kyrie going iso and not passing. They had about 10 guys on that squad who can shoot the ball and they stagnat all the time. Even if they fixed the chemistry issue on their team, would they have beat the Warriors? Probably not. Sometimes you just have to accept your not the best team that year and try to work with your sqaud to overcome and learn.

If Lebron leaves Cleveland, kyrie will follow suit, anyone who has team ties to Lebron, either coming with him back to Cleveland or was on the team because of Lebron will leave, at that point, the process will begin with the shittiest season in cavs history, they will have no picks that year and have no way to rebuild besides getting old and terrible veterans to sign for vet min, the cavs will quickly lose relevance until they get their first round pick in 2019, then they will start to rebuild and create a good team, however in 10 years Lebron will buy the cavs from Gilbert then he will bring in everything he possibly can and start winning again

>>76660837
>James is statistically the greatest basketball player of all time
Wrong. Jordan averaged 6 more PPG in the playoffs on equal efficiency (going to be on better efficiency when LeBron plays at an older age). That's a huge difference. Any edge LeBron has in assists or rebounds is nullified by just how much better Jordan was at scoring. They are equal statistically, and championships are the obvious tiebreaker.

>>76661138
Yeah your "they're much harder to get" was so much better. Have you calculated how much harder they are to get? Well, usually the points leader is around 30 PPG and the assists leader is around 10 APG so it might be 3 times harder to get an assist. So AT BEST you can say the value of 2 assists is equal to the value of 6 points, which doesn't change shit because I think MJ and LeBron are equal statistically.

>blocks your path

this is so fucking stupid. why wouldn't they jsut wait for him to come for free in 2018? who gives a shit about the bird rights? give up assets to get a past-prime paul george when he'll come for free next summer? fuck jeanie buss

>>76661172
If he's the 3rd best scorer of all time why is fg% so low compared to other greats?

>>76661201
SHOOTERS SHOOT

>>76661198
Because if they don't have his bird rights there's a lower chance he'd sign with them if he decides to go the Melo route and go for the money.

God the Lakers suck.

Like, imagine thinking D'angelo Russell, Jordan Clarkson and Julius Randle are good players.

>>76661201
it's everyone elses fault he chucked bricks constantly

>>76661198
Cavs are going scorched earth right now, they'll get PG if the Lakers don't do something

Clarkson + 28th would be a steal but you could give up Randle because he's up for an extension and you're most likely not going to pay him if you get George. They'll probably keep PG at 3, Ingram will spend some time at 2,3 and even some small ball 4. Larry Nance Jr is a solid backup for the Lakers too.

Remember when Kobe won finals MVP shooting literally .360? Why is that ok

>>76661210

i honestly don't want him in general, this is 2017 PG not 2013 when he was actually an elite defender. if the bird rights are a deal breaker and they have to have him or he'd never re-sign, they better not give up the anything more than the 28th pick and one or two of clarkson/nance/randle.

>>76661185
Maybe the value of 2 assists is the value of 6 points if those assists are 3 pointers

Otherwise no

Give me ONE good reason for the NBA to keep the salary cap.

Protip: you can't.

>>76661244
You're going to give up 3rd overall + 28th + players for him and you'll like it

>>76661268
if there was no salary cap then they would spend way much more money on players and so then the Wizards wouldn't be able to afford nintendo shoulder patch

>>76661278

lakers don't have the 3rd overall so this isn't happening

>"But sources told ESPN that it remains unclear whether the sides can agree to trade terms before the draft, given Indiana's desire to acquire the Lakers' No. 2 overall pick and L.A.'s well-chronicled reluctance to surrender it."

>"The Lakers have been adamant, with one team source going so far as to say there's "zero chance" they'd part with the No. 2 pick or last season's No. 2 overall pick Brandon Ingram in a trade for George, knowing that the Pacers' All-Star hopes to sign with his hometown Lakers as a free agent in July 2018."

yessssss this shit trade won't happen thank god

>>76661268
Small market owners. That's the main reason. Other than that nothing else.

But I fear eventually we'd have the same problems of international soccer and Arabs might try and buy our teams.

We already have rich Indians and Russians.

>>76661268
give me 1 good reason for this ghetto ass "luxury" tax system instead of a hard cap

>>76659924
JImmy Butler is probably the most hood nigga in the league but does a good job of hiding it because he was adopted by whites. He is also one of the best LeBron defenders

>>76661289
Based Rob. I loved Mitch but he was obviously going senile after those signings and fuck Jim Buss. Glad we have someone who knows what he's doing

>>76661330
Bro, shut the fuck up.

Butler is the whitest guy in the league. Fuck out of here.

>>76661330
it would be a fun storyline to watch Jimmy quickly assert his pack dominance and take over as the leader of the Cavs and see Lebronies attempt damage control

>>76661294
A hard cap punishes teams that draft well.

>>76661330
This

https://youtu.be/vEW5SxbBNTY

>>76661374
But if you allowed bird rights player to sign over the cap with no penalty that's get rid of that AND stop teams from getting big free agents like Durant.

>Celtics interested in Porzingis

MAKE IT FUCKING HAPPEN, DANNY

>knicks fan

theres no fucking hope for me or any other knicks fan, now that phil jackson is running the show(literally could care the fuck less about this franchise or team) theres no way things are going to work out

the only way things work out is if melo leaves and the knicks tank for 3 years while somehow managing to keep porzingis. 3 top 10 picks + porzingis might get us somewhere.

for real though, this league is turning into a pile of shit. when you have star players(cuck fucking kevin durant) joining teams that we're already 73-9 no other team in the league is going to improve because all these ring chasing cucks/vets who are desperate arent going to make these lesser teams better

adam silver doesnt seem to fucking understand that but muh kike money gotta get dem warriors lookin good rite

Yo jimmy butler aint shit, i could take him 1v1

>>76661341

the fact that they're even discussing a trade and not just waiting for him to walk to the lakers as a FA next summer makes me uneasy, but i'm confident the #2 and ingram are safe, and i'm pretty sure russell is too

>>76661453
I'm not that guy but I just want to say I'm white and good at basketball. My uni's rec is pretty much 80% black guys but I would say I'm in the top 5% in terms of best ballers who play there. I'm not even tall either I'm 5'11 and skinny. And no I don't just shoot threes, shooting isn't even my strength my strength is athleticism.

How many more times does Lebron have to lose in the Finals before the losses start to become his fault?

>>76661495
never, Lebron's always got an excuse or two ready to go. It's part of his brand.

Paul George for Blake Griffin.

Literally who the fuck says no.

>>76661438
You DO realize that Danny Ainge could get any of those guys he wants, right? He has all the assets he needs to trade for anyone. He could've taken Fultz as well if he wanted him.

You the glow in the dark nigga?

I'm in El Segundo hmu ph@m

>>76661438
Not for nothing, but it's not as though anything has prohibited Ainge from making those decisions. He got the first overall but didn't like Fultz, and has the most stocked asset cabinet of any GM in the league.

If those guys are available he can trade for them.

>>76661555

It's funny how all these fans of all these shitty teams mock Boston for not mortgaging their future making trades for shitty players while their own team loses in the playoffs (and even gets beat by Boston fair and square) even AFTER making stupid deals for shitty players. top fucking kek

How can anything you say phase me when I have the peace of mind of knowing that I'll soon be swimming in Japanese pussy?

>>76661627
The worst part is when these people talk about how the Celtics need to make a move if they want to beat the Cavs.

PULL THE FUCKING TRIGGER RC

Phil is looking for guards? Orchestrate a threeway trade with Phoenix: LMA for Bledsoe, sign and trade him plus Pau, Mills, a pick for KP6. Whatever else Pjax wants short of Kawhi, Jaunty, Juice and Bertans, throw it to Phil, RC.

KAWHI AND KP3 TOGETHER

Now if Danny League Green can be upgraded, and Jaunty turn into the same gymrat that Kawhi is, working with Chip on his 3ball stroke, Spurs would have 3pt threats on positions 1-2-3-4.

PG13 is only good as a stop gap until the young players develop enough. He's the same age group as Durant, so there's no point unless you can sign 2 superstars and make George the 3rd or 4th option.
