I'm late to the Porzingod sweepstakes but

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.

Imagine the fucking spacing.

Hmmm

>>76669502
Only person overpaid is Singler, and he used to be good. Blazers forced their hand on Kanter but he's got a high ceiling and young. Everyone else is clearly below market value and they rightfully made the signings without knowing how the CBA would turn out after being fucked over repeatedly by the last two ones. I don't trust the NBA in protecting small market teams.

>>76669658
trade lebron for the #1 pick and draft Lonzo of course

>>76669668
I think it would make them better, but not good enough to beat GS.

The Cavs just have to decide what they want. Either they go all-in on the few years LeBron has left and trade Kyrie and Love for win now players, or they're satisfied with going to the finals until LeBron leaves/retires, and then building around Kyrie/Love.

PERSONALLY, I'd trade Kyrie for CP3, Love for Melo, JR/Shump/Channing in some combination of trades to acquire a perimeter defender and a PF that can defend the PnR.

Keep Korver, RJ, DThrill and Edy. Ignore backup PG because even Ty Lue can keep one of CP3 and Bron on the floor.

>>76669684
Wasting your cap on Griffin is a franchise destroying move because he will not age well with the meme era we're in. Also, he has way too many injuries to trust. They should use their money on Hayward instead because he fits the current nba mold.

So /NBA/ is actually like 5 autists spamming in circles? Explains a lot.

Clips would deal CP3 for Kyrie in an instant. Kyrie is younger and on an old max deal. CP3 would have to agree to a S&T on a non-max deal, but I think he would for team banana boat. Kyrie's age is a lot closer to Blake and Jordan too. They'd be 2nd tier contender for the next several years, instead of next 3ish.

Knicks would trade Melo for Love to get rid of a disgruntled Melo and to get younger.

JR/Channing/Shump all have value and wouldn't be difficult to move. There are always ways to maneuver in the NBA. Trade them for picks, trade those picks for a player or two they want. Someone more clever than I am could turn those 3 into a guard that plays defense, and a bench big.

>>76669991
Hyperbole aside, I mostly agree with you. I wouldn't build around Blake in a vacuum. But there's more to it than that. They love him there and who are they going to get that's better? Rolling out Kyrie, Blake and DeAndre for a handful of years and losing in the 2nd round is better than what most teams in the league can do until LeBron finally gets old, and GS loses enough pieces to stop destroying people.

Lebron can call adam silver whenever he wants and say he's unhappy with his team mates, and literally the next day CP3 will arrive on his door step like an abandoned orphan baby in a movie with a note saying "take good care of him. remember our promise. yours truely, the commish"

you think these trades are even real? Half this shit is fucking scripted for headlines. A GM isn't even a real fucking job get a grip, theyre all working for adam silver and collaborating together to construct the best teams in the highest paying markets that would give them the most profit. You really think a fucking multibillion dollar corporation just leaves all this shit to chance? No, they have guys who go out and tell owners what trades to do to generate the most ESPN drama to get people to keep watching this shit.

Everything, Lebron to Miami, Dwight and Nash to LA, Kevin Love to Cleveland, Durant to golden state, boogie to NOLA... it's all been fucking scripted man. You have no idea how fucking deep this shit goes. We're basically watching professional wrestling at this point.

Finals ratings are through the roof. Silver fucking loves this Golden State vs. Lebron rivaly. You just can't see the big picture. Golden State is being set up to be the ultimate bad guys, taking down even the mighty cavaliers. Then when hope seems lost, Lebron and the crew will come to LA to save the day.

They know exactly how to craft a good story. You don't just start your story with the good guys winning everything from day one, I mean this is fixed but it's not the fucking globetrotters and least have some kind of realism and hardship along the way

>>76670062

>>76670096
I don't think LeBron will ever go to LA, but if he did, it would be because his Finals record wouldn't get worse, and if he ever did beat GS, they would 100% steamroll the East and his Finals record would improve.

>>76670096
Lebron doesn't want to hurt his finals record anymore than it already is. He knows if he goes out west he won't make it to the finals so his record won't get worse

I don't think it's just to protect his finals %, I think he literally is just tired of always making the finals and all these extra post-season games are getting to him. He probably just wants to have a first round exit already so he can rest, but can't do that playing in the east

>>76670096
Well if he did get pass them it would be an automatic ring cause the east would suck even more than usual

Magic is an AIDS riddled idiot.

>>76670219
lel AD can combo into a true wing + traditional big, Joker has all the mobility of a 90s center and is a monster at the high post. AD has more upside, Jokic is unique because he's the only one in the current crop of potentially elite bigs repping those 90s Aryvdas Sabonis skills.

I'd take prime AD to beat 2018 Durant 1-on-1 over prime Jokic

>>76670265
That's a dumb way of looking at it. Randle clearly wasn't worth 7 overall, his talent level is a roleplayer. I agree with you about D'Angelo, but Magic is paying for Mitch and more importantly Jimmy's mistakes. You shouldn't blame him since we've been trying to get people bite on a Mozgov deal for ages and this was the only way to get rid of him.

>>76670265
But >we've struck out in recent years with marquee free agents. The lakers need a fucking sure thing. If we don't put together a package like that for George they'll take love for him and it's no sure thing that George still comes to LA after a season with a championship caliber team. The lakers cannot take that risk, they absolutely have to trade for PG now. Clearing the Mozgov contract was huge too, because it lets them potentially sign another max player next offseason like Cousins

I fucking hate the dlo trade though

>>76670262

THIS

Ball
Clarkson
George
Ingram
Lopez

This lineup looks solid. Hopefully Ingram actually delivers his second year. He's the X factor in this lineup. If he turns out to be shit, best case scenario for the Lakers will be a 10th seed.

>>76670300

I propose a merger

So...are the lakers Nick Young's team again?

The Lakers could have gotten more for Russell. The Kings would have probably traded the 10 so the Lakers could get Markannen, Zach Collins or Ntilikina. Markannen will be a better stretch 4 than Lopez could ever be and a better rebounder because anybody is a better rebounder than him.

Kongs said no to 2 for 5 and 10, so I'm sure the lakers offered Russell in that deal as well and they said no. Kongs are probably higher on fox or smith than they are on Russell

>>76670339
that wouldn't be a problem. The Kings have about 9 players on contract for 50 million.

>ruining your rebuild to go ring chasing when no matter what team you assemble, you will have no shot against the Warriors
Magic Johnson was a mistake

Trying to build wins in free agency is the worst thing for a rebuilding team. First you must get good then you can go after free agents.

>>76670027
Flat like Kyrie Irving's Earth?

>>76670351
As they should be because Smith and Fox have loads more potential than The Snitch.

Russell was not going to grow and progress much in the NBA. He is too slow offensively and defensively. He can't get anything without setting up a PnR. His 3-point stroke is mediocre too.

If the Lakers waited a year to see if Ball/D'Lo or Fox/D'Lo would work would realize that D'Lo has no trade value, especially with one year left on his contract after testing out the season.

It's better to trade Russell now while he still has value before every team realizes he is a bonafide bust.

>>76670233
Why are you sleeping for 24 hours?

Im sitting here typing this from my bed, weaked from the cancer that is slowly killing me. And all I can wonder is if next year will be the year the Wizards return back to glory. I'll miss you /nba/,

If theres one thing i could advise you, its to get off this site and go follow your dreams.

'raises his teammate's level' is starting to become a meme metric in gauging player strength now. Does Jokic own the high post and controls the offensive game from there? Yes. Would any nba-level skilled high post player do what Jokic is doing? Yes. Because the real strength comes from the style of play being run. Jokic rules a niche in today's nba, until another high post dominant big man comes and challenges him, we won't accurately know how good he is.

So what I'm getting from all this is that the Bulls' management is a dangerous combination of clueless and arrogant.

Yes, Jokic objectively blows all the players you listed out of the water besides Draymond who isn't at his height, and I was only talking about players at Jokic's height.

do a chink iteration, it would be more appropriate. like xiaoxiaorry

You're either trolling or you just started watching basketball this past year

>>76670732
I am the same guy. Tell me again how that's not true when the Nuggets had an offense better than the Warriors post all star break? That was all Jokic baby.

>>76670745
You have to be trolling to put Cousins on Jokic's level as an overall player, let alone on Jokic's passing ability. You won't find opinions that shitty even on meme social media sites.

HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Let me teach how real player evaluation is done. When Jokic was on the bench last season the Nuggets lost by 6.1 points/100 possessions. When Jokic is on the floor they won by 5.8 points/100 possessions.

That's a remarkable 12 points per 100 possessions increase!

But for Cousins? On the bench his team lost by 6 points/100 possessions and when he was in the game they lost by 1 point/100 possessions. A lowly 5 points/100 possessions increase.

That's without getting even into advanced stats or shooting efficiency, which all heavily favor Jokic.

Your baby stats stand no chance.

That very same stat ranks Robert Covington above Damian Lillard. Is Covington a better player than Dame?

ok im out

Which stat? But he might be, he's a top defender in the league and the Sixers winning 28 games despite their injuries and shitty ass roster has to be the credit of someone.
