NBA Draft
Thursday, June 22
7 PM ET/4PM PT
Nah fool change this image I can't look at this shit till tomorrow
da fuk is brooklyn doing
>>76663744
Rebuilding
DangerRussell just got traded
Lakers had to sacrifice Deangelo to get rid of one of their awful contracts.
Now they have the cap space to just sign Paul George next year.
>>76663744
Getting a "young" star depending on how much you believe in DLo while getting rid of an injury prone vet
>>76663744
This is a great deal for the Nets the fuck you talking about
>>76663735
HAPPENING
>>76663777
Makes me think they are gonna trade again for George now
Celtics are fucked, Nets are gonna win some games now
WHAT THE FUCK ARE MY LAKEYS DOING??? YEAH WE GPT RID OF MOZGOV BUT WE JUST RECEIVED ANOTHER BAD CONTRACT IN RETURN PLUS LOST DEANGELO
FUCK YOU MAGIC
>>76663799
>Nets are gonna win some games now
lolno
This makes Brooklyn worse.
DLo's career is over.
Molly > Joy
>>76663799
If anything this makes Brooklyn worse immediately. Lopez on the move indicating they're shedding vets in exchange for young talent
They won the majority of their games last year when Booker, Lopez and Lin all played and were healthy. Lakers fans will tell you D'lo isn't going to win you any games.
D'lo plays Lin's position.
Still a great trade for Brooklyn, but no way win-now
>>76663799
That makes them worse ya dummy. Lopez was 1 of only 2 players on that team that weren't complete shit.
Jesus I dont know how to feel about this. Clarkson starting at 2? Ingram?
Magic is gonna need to explain this one
>>76663805
No, D'Angelo can improve them by a lot especially if the Nets can grab a decent player in FA. They won't be worst in the league anymore, probably gonna be 3/4 range as it stands
Lin will be moved soon i imagine
>>76663835
You're a delusional fucking laker fishy. D'Angelo isn't going to win jack shit for the Nets. Fuck off.
Is Lopez's career over? Only the Nets thought he was any good and they are glad to dump him off now.
D'angelo Russell isn't a good basketball player, but it's still the right type of move for the Nets
>>76663799
This. Magic fucked Ainge over hard
>>76663833
>>76663832
>>76663847
Idiots. Im the only Nets fan here, I know my team. Brook was always a hurt slow moving non rebounding fuck. You meme on Okafor, Brook is almost as bad
D'Lo really benefitted from having a nice offense like Walton's. This really fucks him over now that he'll have literally who coaches.
we did it RBL!!!!
we did it BBB!!
>>76663835
lol you're a dumb ass homer, D'angelo is worse for Brooklyn than Lopez and he's not drawing in free agents.
Man I can't wait to see Lonzo Ball in action
>>76663855
He'll put up nice numbers on shit efficiency, I think this does improve them slightly... Like
>>76663835
Said i need to see what happens to lin
>>76663865
Yeah sure buddy. Nets will be the worst team in the league again and it isn't even going to be close.
Only thing that annoys me is that we're going to have to wait for that Sacramento pick in 2019 instead of getting a top-3 pick from LA next year
If the Lakers want to clear cap to sign free agents, they might as well trade the #2 pick. No way Lonzo can help a team make the playoffs for 4+ years.
>>76663882
Lopez is better than Russell though, by a sizeable margin
>>76663865
Brook has probably played more games these last two seasons than D'angelo, with better stats.
They finally bounced Russel. Kinda feel bad for him desu but maybe he can do something in Brooklyn.
>>76663799
First thing I thought too... That Brooklyn pick is probably a 2 or 3 now
>>76663808
did he ever had a career? he was known for being a snitch than for his bball abilities 2bh
Hahahahahah nets are going to be worse than last year AHAHAHAHAHAH
THANKS MAGIC LMAO
>>76663799
Hahahahahahahaha Celticsfags on suicide watch gonna miss my Dangie Russello doe
>nets have historically bad years and nothing to show for it
ahahahahahaha
It's a win win for both teams. Lakers get a big and clear out the clog at guard they were starting to have. The nets get somebody with star potential. It probably makes the nets worse in the short term though, but it's not like they were going anywhere with Lopez
RBL WE OUTCHEA
#27 PICK AND RANDLE FOR PG CONFIRMED
WHO CAN FUCKING STOP US
>>76663788
Damn Magic just pulled a fast one on Danny
This fucks with them getting Butler a bit, though that Brooklyn pick is still very good its not a guaranteed 1 or 2 now might be a little lower
>>76663902
Guy played 75 games this year, 73 games the year before that. Lol his impact is not going to be replaced by fucking D'angelo Russell
>>76663803
Lopez is much better than Mosgov and is expiring. But I feel for you. Lakers got fleeced
Lakers fans having a meltdown
http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=1579847
>>76663931
This. Nets could potentially be better but right now they really only got LeVert and D'Angelo. I don't watch them much but I remember that kid having some good games
everyone with russell as their avi on twitter are now calling him soft and overrated LMAOOOO
LAKERS STAY LOSING
CELTICS GETTING BUTLER AND HAYWARD
Lmao lakers meltdown is hilarious, this week has been better than the whole season
The amount of samefagging by Boston fans is astounding, you got fucked on this, even if its just slightly, admit it
>>76663968
There's no samefagging, just /nba/ laughing at the stupid fishies

YES THIS IS PRIME /nba/ LETS FUCKING GO
So will Lin and Russell become bros? I hope so lads :3
Here come the D'Angelo stans who pretend he was good because he put up empty stats and chucked a lot. Wow he's so good his stats are the same as Steph Curry's first seasons. Well did Curry win anything his first few seasons? Haha fuck off then.
>>76663827
Unless you're a virg-sperg, Joy will never be better than Molly because she never says fucking anything.
>Brooklyn looks even more likely to get first overall
>Lelkers look just good enough to not be the worst team in the league but still complete shit, giving the Celtics a top 5 pick
>Lelkers now confirmed to get Ball at 2, letting my Celties get Josh Jackson at 3, just like he would at 1st overall
Danny Ainge really is playing 4D chess out here.
>defened magic
>even called him a basketball genius
>this happens
how do I recover bros??
>>76664018
Masturbate to LeBron to Lakers rumours
>Okafor and the Sixers lasted longer than Russell and the Lakers
Hmm
Players who matched D'Angelo Russell's 3P% and PTS, AST and REB per 36 minutes through 1st two seasons: Curry, Bird, Manu, CP3 & Harden.
*fleeced by your gm*
>>76663799
>mfw Lakers just made sure Celtics get another elite pick next year
Clarkson 27th and 28th for George? The Pacers wanted more picks im guessing this is what its setting up
lopez for geroge. who says no?
>>76664016
/nba/ is literally never right AHAHAHAHA
Last two digits confirm how many wins the Lakers have next year
WTF ARE YOU DOING MAGIC
GET RID OF THIS BUST NOT DLO
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
why do people think lebron would go to the lakers? LA hates him because they're kobrick dickriders and he has no reason to play for LA just because he's investing in business there.
you think all the fake drama in Cleveland matters to him? he made it up for fun

It seems to me like he would rather be in Cleveland though. Hard to sell Boston as a destination when Lebron still rules the East.

Who gives a fuck? He's not a free agent. He goes where he's traded to. And he would happily join the Celtics.
>>76664280
I googled why the clippers exist, and one of the reasons why is because people pay to watch away teams play the Clippers. Lakers tickets cost way more.
The only thing the Clippers do more than anyone in the league is having their players do advertisements, bunch of actors not players.

>>76664309
You're assuming the Bulls front office gives a fuck what he wants and not looking at the best deal they can get for him. The Celtics can offer much more than the Cavs could.
People seem to forget that Brook Lopez is legit good because he's been stuck on a shit team for so long. He's even developed a solid 3pt shot.
>>76664289
in 2 years this team would've been the new warriors if they just let the talent grow and get experience.

Seems obvious they really, really like someone in the draft outside of Fultz and Ball.
>>76664326

>>76664339
Solid is my poop in the morning, BroLo got a fucking wet ass trey. He's fucking legit, And a good rim protector, cant really outrebound people but works perfectly as a box out for rebounding PFs (Randle will excel here) and is a beast on offense as it's known.
He's a great pairing to Randle, but it's clear he's just a rental. This deal was DLo for cap space and a pick in the end for LAL.
>>76664329
I'm not seeing that on Twitter. Where did you find it?
>>76664345
I agree, only true Celtics fans wouldn't hate on The Truth

Can I be part of the conversation now?
>>76664357
Listen Yuropoor, I know in soccer players have a voice in what they do and where they go, but in American sports, contracts rule all. The Bulls would not get ripped off just because you claim the players want to leave.
>>76664358
This
Lavar got his dream, his son's the star player for the Lakers
the Cavaliers will ultimately go down in history as the team that got absolutely destroyed long-term by a selfish weak-ass superstar named LeBum and gilbert will be forever known as a cuck who allowed it to happen just to win one ring.
>>76664319
Even then its just trash, why is he leaving again? What ever happened to loyalty?
Thats why all NBA fans are a bunch of cucks who only care about Lebron and not the team that represents their city.

the warriors are good because thompson, green, and curry all turned into super stars.

His agent wants the promise that they won't trade the pick and that they'll pick him 3rd. Ainge doesn't do draft promises so they won't do that. I can still see Ainge taking him 3rd though, Ainge said these workouts aren't the end of the world in terms of who they want.
>>76664404
I agree, I just didn't go into because he didn't mention him.
Celtics fans loving him for being a mercenary ring chaser in Boston but then hating him completely for doing the same thing for the next great team in succession just shows how awful the entire fanbase is.
It's gonna happen.

>>76664430
Media wrong again. It says that teams are asking the Knicks for Porzingis. All Phil did was listen and leave the door open. Nothing confirmed yet.
>>76664329
Both Ainge and the Bulls front office are completely idiotic
>>76664423
Do you have a source for this, I assumed it was because his agent is pissed he's getting 3rd overall pick money instead of 1st.
>>76664437
brook lopez will be painful to watch in luke walton's system for a year.
>>76664437
It isn't. They cleared Mozgov's horrific contract, flipped DLo for a far superior player, got an extra draft pick, and cleared away a guard logjam for Lonzo. It's a pretty good trade on both sides, really.
Lol that the Lakers gave Mozgov all that money in the first place lmao

Honestly I wonder if Ainge doesn't feel like he can just sweat the Bulls out some. If it really comes down to just them and Cleveland, then even a shittier offer from the Celtics is more than they'd get from the Cavs. Maybe he feels like he can haggle and bring the price down further.
Does german nyk dude still post here
>>76664404
>is made of crystal
No? He's played 75+ games the last two years. The thing is, he actually let his injuries heal rather than playing through them, which is generally the thing that fucks big men.
>advanced defensive stats
lol. he's not a great defender, but c'mon, he's on the fucking nets.
>>76664440
You're a bandwagoner because you are a Lakers fan but like Celtics players that the rest of the entire NBA fanbase despises.
You're a bandwagoner because your first defense is go for a betting insult of all things instead of any argument that's rational or even relevant
You're a bandwagoner because you question basketball knowledge despite the fact that you have none other than what you've seen on ESPN for the past 4 months.

>>76664615
Hayward's going to Indiana my dude
>With Brooklyn trading Brook Lopez, Russell Westbrook is the only lotto pick from the 2008 draft still on his original team
>>76664605
yup
lakers are fucking retarded. we just pulled a kobe for vlade trade, but the opposite this time.
must be karma for that trade
c'mon man. Russel is worth at least the the Wizards pick as well.
Wizards pick is 22.
Lakers could have had 22 + 27 + 28.
Or 22 + 28.
Cmon man.
>>76664615

You also lack any vocabulary. You are probably one of those losers who collects jordans and irrelevant jerseys thinks hes super smart because he reads statistics from a website and listens to sports podcasts all day.
baka you are probably one of those people who watch the play-offs alone. Being a fan is a participation sport, get your head out of your ass acting like your are superior to anyone. The league prefers normies who spend money over losers like you trying to argue over simple comments.

Oh yeah anon, I'm sure it isn't fatigue that's altering his playing, he's just giving up because he just doesn't give a fuck about winning. I'm sure that's why he's the best player in the world, because he gives up.
Imagine being a team that good players want to join just because of reputation and the fact that you're based in southern California
Don't need to be smart
Don't need to make good decisions
Don't even need to have a good team
It's complete fucking bullshit.
Ball + Russell would be a terrible pairing defensively. Lakers ultimately made the right moving Russell, and they managed to shed Mozgov's contract.
Brook Lopez is going to hit 200 threes next season
>>76664615
Yeah sure something like that
>>76664643
Jimmy Butler is staying in Chicago. No one wants him. The teams just talk about it to blow smoke and stay competitive during trade talk.
Hayward to Boston in free agency is already a done deal. The only way it doesn't happen is if Boston decides to go with someone like Griffin instead for whatever reason.

>people constantly say this

The whole reason Ainge sits on his ass so much with his assets is because he wants to beat both the Cavs AND the Warriors. He doesn't just want to acquire a star or be competitive, he wants the Celtics to actually be championship contenders. That's why he's not going to give away the store just for somebody like Butler. Butler alone won't win the Celtics another ring.
So where the fuck is D Rose going to? Also, what is he realistically going to cost? I genuinely have no clue whether front offices and himself still see him as a $15m+ player.
>>76664771

Kareem was a freak of nature. The only player to be elite for as long as Kareem was is Duncan, and with Duncan it almost doesn't count since Pop managed his minutes so carefully. LeBron seems superhuman but there's no telling if he'll have a 20 year career of eliteness like Kareem did.

>>76664892
He wasnt better than DLo is now until he's 3rd year tbf. He still was very limited, more so than he is now, as a passer, ball handler, cutter, rebounder, and basically everything other than shooting and avg defense.
Curry's injury concerns are not overblown, he missed 66 games in his first 3 seasons all due to ankle related injuries. Why do you think analysts were torn on his 44/4 contract at the time
>>76664919
I'd prefer to keep Randle because I'm partial to watching him play, he always looked like he played way harder than any other Laker the past 2 years. But I think most people will say Clarkson because guards are more valuable than players with Randle's skill set
Does DLo actually have the potential to be an all star? I didn't watch the Lakers much but what I did see didn't seem that promising.

Magic just clearing cap space for PG13. They cleared $53 million. Russell sure as shit ain't worth that. It's the best way Magic can get rid of Mozgov. Now they got a good center that can shoot.
>>76664983
decent passer, above average 3pt shooter. slow af though
>>76664983
He's a fringe all-star imo. I've always compared him to Nick Van Exel, he has pure talent and charisma where he could get into one or two ASG simply based on that.
>>76664980
I dislike Randle more but I can't deny dude has put in the work this off season. Plus, with Dlo gone, I think we need to keep Clarkson because there's no one to play 2 except Nwaba and Young is gonna opt out
Ingram can't play the 2, at least not until he improves his shot dramatically
I would lean towards keeping Randle as well
>>76664992
I'm thinking they either play him at SG or keep him as a 6th man with large minutes, like he had in Charlotte.
>>76665003
Gar Foreman is the problem. Paxon is aight.
>>76664992
He's has a player option after this upcoming season, they'll probably keep him because he has a trade kicker and they need all the scoring they can get...but I don't see how him and Dlo work, they both need the ball...and alhtough Dlo can work without the ball, it ruins what's great about his game
SDC on Youtube had this hypothetical trade:
Cavaliers get: Jimmy Butler, Eric Bledsoe
Bulls get: Suns pick this year, Tyler Ulis and Tristan Thompson
Suns get: Kyrie Irving
Then Cleveland trade Love for George
Cavs starting 5:
Bledsoe
Butler
George
LeBron
Random center
Don't think it's very realistic but Suns and Cavs would be a lot of fun to watch if it does.

>>76664983
>>76665073
He tried to fuck a teammates fiance and he's been paying for it ever since. Its no secret half our team hated him behind closed doors(and some even publicly), I was expecting him to be traded sooner or later. You could tell Randle hated him. Hell im not sure if Randle even likes being on the Lakers, he always looks so disinterested in team promos but hes our best player.
>tfw Game of Zones finale predicted this
I cant use this image anymore desu its kinda sad
>>76665069
This is a terrible trade for the cavs. Literally all of your championship roster except lebron, gone, in exchange for a bunch of all-stars who were going to sign here anyway.
Cavs need to keep kyrie and love. Thompson is the only expendable asset, and that's only IF they can actually get a decent center to replace him
I know exactly how Butler feels. I'm stuck in elo hell in League and I would jump at the chance to play with teammates who didnt suck dick

Lakers win by getting cap space and rid of Mozgov's contract

Nets lose by trading away the one guy who came to play hard every night

I actually do agree now with signing Millsap, granted that a) it's not the max and b) it's heavily frontloaded, so that when the time comes to pay garris and joker, and millsap is fading, we're not playing with fire. rest of the podcast was also pretty interesting, the most interesting was noticing how useful it'd be to get iguodala back, in terms of his skillset and his fit on the team.

>>76665338
The George deal was already open. The Pacers have no leverage. Magic and Pelinka are just huge retards who are getting ripped off because they're new to this gm business.
What leverage does Indiana have? Paul George already told them he will only go to Lakers and he warned other teams he will go to Lakers in 2018 no matter what. Their leverage became shit at that point. Pacers are going to get bailed out by that dumb ass Magic though.
>>76665347
Yep, I agree 100% with those conditions, and as they said, do anyone else really want Millsap as bad as we do? His best bet is getting paid in DEN, even if its frontloaded and not really a max deal.
And yes, Iggy would be perfect my god, and idk about but i have zero bad blood when it comes to him, would love him back. bit disappointed they didnt talk about CP3 tho

agree on sap, no other team will be wanting to pay his 34 year old ass 35 million dollars, and no other team has the space to frontload his contract like denver.
>i have zero bad blood when it comes to him, would love him back.
not sure how everyone else would feel about it. i guess if he was back and getting buckets the bad blood would leave pretty quickly. i'm also disappointed they didn't discuss cp3, especially since he's meeting with us apparently. i'm 99% sure he wouldn't come anyway, and it's not too much of an issue, murray looks to be the 1 of the future now.
as for the draft, i'm in the anunoby camp, he's attainable at 13 and just fits perfectly next to jokic, the guy to build around. that being said, karnisovas and tc definitely know what they're doing in the draft and i'll be hype for whoever they pick.

The truth is he isn't good but trading him just to dump salary is stupid.
Why it's so funny is 2 days later, after the initial shock, just like Bostonfags you will be defending this trade.
I can already smell the "H-he was a bust anyway" backtracks.
>>76664345
Kill yourself faggot. Pierce is a fucking fuckboy. For starters he was a bum ass nigga until they all showed up in Boston. He was a humble faggot putting up 20-25 PPG with a fucking L and then going to the club afterwards. He didn't start winning shit until Ray, and KG showed up and then he started getting cocky talking shit like he was Kobe or some shit.
Secondly he's a faggot for the whole Ray Allen shit. You can tell out of everyone, he honestly has no big quarrel with the whole shit, but he's going along with it because everyone else is going along with it, which makes him a moist fucking faggot. He doesn't want to be the odd one out to say he doesn't hate Ray. It's mainly KG and Rondo acting like females. I don't even know why Big Baby is even apart of it when nobody would even remember who he was if it wasn't for his lame ass nickname or the fact that KG made him cry.
Im so glad i got an Ingram jersey
>>76665510
Agreed. But I'm way higher on CP than you, I think he would be an amazing transition player for the team to go from playoff contention to wcf contention. Great mentor for all the young guys, would absolutely get us over the playoffs hump and wouldn't really hurt the timeline as he should still be balling into his late 30s
I like OG as well but it seems his injury concerns might be too much, with that in mind, I like trading back and targeting Bolden or trying to trade away the pick for someone like Oubre.
>>76665382
i dont care for d'angelo, but of course they were going to say good things about him before they trade him. they want to make it seem like he's worth trading for. no way they would openly shit on him before a trade is done.
>>76665571
>>76665617
>But I'm way higher on CP than you
>>76665617
Yo there's a reason we call him cp3. Its so the feds monitoring don't get the wrong idea
>>76665682
kek didnt even notice, im so used to saying cp3 as well
>>76665617
i wouldn't have a problem with cp3 at all, and if he makes it clear he's actually considering denver, then go all in.
as for alternatives to OG, if the team is sure about not resigning gallo then trading up for isaac like what others say isn't a bad idea, but i'd wouldn't mind taking a chance on giles at 13. there's a lot of ways it could go though and that's why i trust our FO to keep their ears to the ground and be aggressive with looking for options on draft night.
>>76665725

I unironically believe Mozgov was a more productive 5 than Tristan has been
They stole 2 from the Warriors with fucking Mozgov and Delly, Mozzy had some decent moments that season and was consistent enough, the next year they started playing him less and kicked Blatt out and I think it shot his confidence in Cle
Then they went and overpaid a huge pussy in TT
Question
Why would the Lakers give up anything for George this season, when he has all but said he is committed to the Lakers in 2018? Even if George gets traded to the Cavs, why would the Lakers be worried about him committing long term when even Lebron doesn't seem like he is staying in Cleveland?
>>76665825

Is there a reverse 2k curse? LeBron from Miami to the Cavs and won a ring, Durant from OKC to the Warriors and won a ring, Paul George from the Pacers to the Lakers and pretty much a lock for a ring (thanks to Lonzo).
>>76665906
Any player entering the NBA must first enter the draft. If they go undrafted they can sign with who ever they want.
>>76665931
OK cool, I've always liked the drafts since they promoted loyalty and parity, too bad that's over.

This is why Lebron left Cleveland the first time.
Even with him there, free agents don't want to get traded/sign there.
And this is why he will leave again. Players will swarm to him on an LA team.
>Sources told ESPN that the Bulls are nearing a trade involving Butler to the Celtics for the #3 pick and Bradley.

>>76665998
Nothing wrong with the core Kyrie/KLove/LeBron set. They need to focus their efforts on an upgrade, even a slight upgrade, at the JR/Shump meme spot, and maybe a better backup PG.

That's not true, otherwise Love wouldn't have re-signed there when he was a FA. And it's not like any quality free agents are still flocking to LA. For the past 6 or so years the Lakers wanted to sign every top free agent on the market yet nobody is coming there anymore.
FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT /NBA/ WAS RIGHT AND LAKERS FANS WERE STUPID DUMB DELUSIONAL FISHY SCUM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
>>76665588
I'm never going to defend that trade. It's a retarded trade. Russell gets a bad rap for being a snitch, but he had good stats for a 20-21 year old player. He was the Lakers best player and also their best shooter. To give up on him is retarded.
If Lakers wanted to get rid of Russell, and shed Mozgov's contract, why not wait until next year or before the trade deadline? At that point Russell could raise his own value and Mozgov could even look better from Lonzo's passing. It just makes no sense to do it right now.

>>76666138
There's no such thing, cause a player like that would be ran out of the league
There are delusional Cavs fans that actually think they can trade for Paul George or Butler without giving up Love.
lmaoooOoOoO...
>The Celtics subreddit is actually defending turning down #3 for Butler
Lakers insider here. One of the reasons he got moved was because he was unwilling to cut his body fat percentage, Randle and him were the two who were against it because they felt like it would make them lose strength (Randle) and would have to get his expensive clothes retailored (Dangelo).
This was a few weeks before the end of the season. Randle was persuaded to change his mind, Russell refused to budge. It ended in an argument a few days ago between Rob Pelinka and him, where Magic made the tough call to move him after Russell cussed out Pelinka in front of Jeanie.
>>76666138
Lebron. People only put up with his bullshit because he won a ring and are desperate to win one themselves.
It's going to be funny when he finally gets to LA and starts demanding they trade everyone and magic just laughs at him and makes him carry brandon ingram's bags to practice.
>dwight howard

why do cavs want to trade for anyone, just fix your shitty bench. find some talent in d-league.
the starters are completely fine.
>>76666194
yo why are you roleplaying at this time of day?
>>76666084
It makes zero sense to trade dlo now, less than zero sense to trade for a player like brook when they're so many years away from contending, and negative infinity sense to trade for george for that reason as well as him becoming a free agent next year. I fucking hate short sightedness and I fucking hate the lakers. Kobe-contract level ineptitude.

Damn Atlanta got raped
He must be a huge locker room cancer
>>76665825
Before he got hurt, undoubtedly. I'd even say he was their 3rd best player after Lebron and Kyrie for a time. After he went down early in 2015 he has never recovered.
>>76666273
I'm guessing the ownership/management is actually full of idiots who got even more complacent after being gifted a once in a lifetime hometown talent to drag a shitty team to the ship every year, so no
>>76666287
They are giving up. Time to move salary and start the process
lebron going to LA when? that'll be the only time this shitty sport is interesting for the next 3 years.
Where's that Atlanta fag who was bragging about the weather? Thanks for Dwight, bitch

Spee, redpill me on this Lakers-Nets trade, I dont follow niggerball this closely but I like the sport and occasionally watch games, but apparently this was such a big deal that a lot of people is freaking out about it. What's going on?

It's actually worse when you realize they did it to keep their manlet PG
>muh dead sister
>>76666287
The Spurs need to do some lowkey maneuvering and get Belenelli back, especially with Patty about to leave in free agency. I always loved Belenelli's spark off the bench.

Gilbert is the Dan Snyder of the NBA. A vindictive, bitter kike who although unreally rich knows absolutely nothing about the sport and manages it like a total retard. The difference being Snyder didn't luck into a once in a generation talent like Lebron.
Oh my god. MJ is gonna destroy Dwight mentally lmao
>shoot it, you child molester
feels good having competent management
lmaoing @ u LA, atlanta
>>76666316
his contract expires in 2018. If the cavs get crushed again he's leaving 100%
The only question is whether it's Lakers or Clippers at this point
>>76666346
lmao bruh
>>76666321
Love was quietly productive enough. More boards than Green and certainly more points.
People are expecting him to get 25 ppg again like in Minnesota, not going to happen while Kyrie and JR are taking pot shots half the game and LeBron wants his 30.
Kemba
Batum
MKG
Zeller
DUHWHITE
Is this the best D in basketball? Maybe Monk will drop to them in the draft as well and they can finally get some bench shooting.
LAURI TO CELTICS OR KNICKS

>>76666360
>Celtics taking a project European big with the 3rd overall pick
Actually yeah, I see it
why are people here acting like dwight is some asset or something?
he's a 32 year old center who relied completely on his athleticism, atlanta had to bench him during the playoffs last year because he doesn't fit in the league anymore
it's not 2010 anymore
>>76666323
Lakers gave up former 2nd overall pick D'Angelo Russel along with Mozgov for Brook Lopez and a late 1st
Basically people are freaking out because Lakers did this just to get rid of the retarded contract they gave Mozgov two summers ago. And it was so bad they had to pair a huge positive asset in Russel. Lopez is good, very good, but he's in the last year of his contract and will be too expensive for the Lakers to re-sign, so he's basically a 1yr rental.
Lakers are said to be doing this to open up space to sign both PG and LeBron to maxes in 2018
>>76666323
it's literally nothing, people are just obsessed with LA and there's nothing to talk about
>>76666346
Jordan is going to break Dwight down then build him back up into a murder machine, the way he did with Pippen. Dwight's best days are ahead of him.

Never change, /nba/.
>>76666374
He fits in Charlotte's system of "no turnovers and no offensive rebounds". Not to mention Batum is one of the best guys in the league at finding the big off the pick and roll. Batum makes Zeller look like a top 10 Center.
>>76666389
A skilled forward with the kind of high-level offensive instincts to carve out a long role in the NBA, as long as he gets stronger.
Reminds me of David Lee. Sneakily athletic, a real gym rat kind of guy
>>76665997
>>76666374
He had a great season last year and was the reason why the hawks were a playoff team. They just traded him for a journeyman center and moved back in the draft.
>Batum is one of the best guys in the league
>>76666375
But do they really have a chance of signing PG and LeBron next season? If yes, it is a good deal on the long term, if not, top kek.

>>76666374
He's the ultimate "talk yourself into it", past-reputation guy. Some shitty team that can't make any real moves gets him and regrets it 3 months into the season.
>>76666444
32 year old LeBron, Kyrie, Kevin Love, TT weren't enough to beat the Warriors. People wanted to trade Love for Paul George to get the Cavs closer, but people still believed the Warriors would still be the better team. So LeBron, TT, Kyrie, and PG aren't better than the Warriors. Why would a 35 year old LeBron, PG, 21 year old Ingram, 20 year old Ball be better than Warriors? What if LeBron doesn't want to go to the Lakers?

>>76666516
The lakers aren't going to be shitty forever. They have tons of assets. Cavs had fucking Kyrie + Wiggins as their only assets and became championship contenders once lebron set up camp.
Think what the lakers could do with Lonzo, Randal, Ingram, Paul George and Lebron... not to mention westbrook, kawhi, harden, and a bunch of other dudes want to come home to LA and are willing to take pay cuts to get here.
Lakers could realistically have a Paul George, Westbrook, and Lebron big 3 this time next year
