I don't think any other team in NBA history's had the league in a frenzy the way Golden State has the league right now.

>>76828102
Chris Pail becomes PG
Hardon becomes SG

Let's be real now... CP3 going the Rockies has no effect on the outcome of next season. If the Warriors can rape Lebeta and Kyrie in 5 games imagine how badly a CP3 and Harden lead team would lose.

>>76828193
ok fine, you're right. Unless the Cavs get melo or pg, its going to be the exact same finals unless the spurs dont get cheap shotted again. I really felt the spurs could have won.

but yeah it will be them again and >muh rivalry
story lines. Tbh im not even looking forward to the finals looking at how the trades are developing.

At this point im more into how rookies develop and regular season drama/ regular season achievements.

>>76828097

The Lakers could possibly slip into the 8th spot with PG13. He's a midtier All-Star that barely carried a better Pacers team to a lowly 8th in the East. PG13 is a good step for the Lakers, but not a savior.

Not to mention, the Rockets front office is not done yet. Based off their player signings with non guaranteeds, they're bringing in Melo, George, or Millsap. Any of those would make a legit foundation. What will make or break them is how the fill in the bench.

Reminder that state income tax is deductible anyway.

>>76828238
why is everyone saying this? both guys are great at catch and shoot, I think I read a stat saying CP is up there with the likes of Curry, Klay and Korver as one of the most efficient catch and shoot guys in the league. Their counting stats will drop but I imagine their efficiency is going to go up, willing to bet Harden will shoot high 30s/low 40s on 3s this season

>>76829758
Chris Paul is 30 and not near as high energy, pesky, willing to hustle, or has as much of an impact emotionally as Beverley.

Stop this retarded meme. Chris Paul didn't deserve to be first team at all and only gets it because of reputation. He can't guard any of the elite point guards at all but Beverley can better than anyone in the West.

>>76829868
They've litteraly never made it past the 2nd round.

>>76830163
Kill yourself. Chris Paul's offense is 90% dribbling the ball and his catch and shoot is so rare it's negligible.

You literally just compared him to Korver and Klay when that's the majority of their offense.

James Harden just had one of the highest usage rates ever, dribbled the ball more than anyone but Chris Paul last year and you're wondering why everyone with a brain doesn't think this makes since and sceptical of it working yet don't think to yourself why you're not the one in the wrong?

>>76829141
I'm not the spammer.

The spammer doesn't understand, or doesn't want to admit, that the trip is available to all.

The point of posting the pic here (>>76828664), as far as I can tell, is to suggest that go wiz is a proxyfag (same trip, two flags on different continents).

This is not a reasonable inference if the trip is literally available to people all over the world.

Is harden going back to shooting guard?

Chris Paul is a very good shooter. I don't know why people think he can't catch and shoot. Still not beating Golden State though.

Magic Johnson seems to think that he has a real shot of luring Lebron to the Lakers next summer. I seriously doubt that happens. Personally, I say Lebron hangs them up after this season and calls it a career. His legacy is set in stone as one of the greatest to ever play the game at any position. Nothing left for him to prove in the NBA.

But that trade would have been stupid for the Cavs to do anyway.

The Warriors best bet is to let curry guard Paul if he guarding Harden on a good night GG Harden dropping 50 on his head But with Guarding Paul And Klay Guarding Harden Paul not looking to attack curry if he smart he iso curry all day but he won't he just looking to get others invole

They highkey saved curry during that award show cuz they didn't mentioned Dion Waiters Game Winner of the Year i don't think they did

Lmao the warriors don't have to worry about The Rockets When The Spurs were blowing there ass by 20+ with Kawhi alone there biggest threat has always been San Antonio since 2015 and they have yet to face a healthy spurs cause during the regular season spurs be exposing them and its the same second round from last season Houston vs San Antonio or Houston vs golden state Cuz,1 of them winning the first seed and Houston definitely a third seed again

Curry being exposed this year and y'all don't think Houston got a chance? Harden And Paul have to pick curry apart all game

>>76830728
Houston beat warriors last season without cp so they'll definitely do it again with him.

Hello is there any way Spurs can land Klay Thompson either through a trade or wait till he's a FA?

I just want Pop to move on from traditional basketball schemes and get with the new era, surround Kawhi with shooters ala Lebron and the Cavs.

>>76832771
They don't do anything but try and unload their bad contracts.

If they were healthy they would've beat the Warriors with Nurkgod destroying them with beautiful basketball and blocks for days. That first game with Dame and CJ scored almost every point on insane shooting was a statement but after they got the news Nurkic wasn't going to be ready in the series they slowly gave up. Still almost stole another game after that.

>>76832807
That's the worst thing I've ever heard. The way that the Rockets and Cavs played last year was cancer and proves drive and kick with stagnant three point shooters surrounding the point guard is a meme.

You need a 3 dimensional strategy like the Spurs running different styles of plays, off ball movement, constant rotations, passing the ball, and continuous cutting to get easy baskets and well timed three point shooting.

Well yeah obviously spurs will incorporate all that in their system but point is they need better shooters. Klay would be a significant upgrade from Green.

Paul George doesnt really matter to the Lakers future. The Lakers future hinges on the development of Lonzo and Ingram. If Ingram can turn into an all-star and Lonzo turn into Jason Kidd, then they could be the 2003 Nets or better if they get a third young star.

I love him to death, but he'll never finish a full season.

You're not a real fan you fucking faggot.

>>76833980

>>76833702
this is why I can't stand general sports talk shows. I don't need to hear some handegg fan turn around and start talking about baseball, as if he's an expert in either

>>76833862
I think he'd have to take a pretty big discount as the Spurs as over the cap and only offer their MLE

Minny is looking pretty nice right about now

>>76834126
Count the times that Chris Paul got himself injured in the first round of the playoffs the last two years.

Count Beverley.

We're done here you fake.

>>76833702
Couldn't make himself look more like a stereotypical IQ lacking athlete if he tried.

How can anyone possibly think Melo would make the cavs better? He's slow, plays no defense, and needs a lot of the ball to have an impact. Maybe he makes them beat shit teams by more, but beating the warriors is all that matters these days, and Melo would make them significantly worse against GS.

>>76834173
Shut the fuck up you dumb fucking retard
>hurr durr over the cap

So fucking what? Literally every GM on earth doesn't let that faze them, you know why? Because YOU CAN TRADE PLAYERS AND MAKE NUMEROUS OTHER MANUVERS TO SIGN PLAYERS.

You don't know anything what GMing.

Look at these giant hippos arguing in /nba/ like their life depends on it. Stop the negativity and start shining like a bright light of positivity.

>>76834173
Yeah I think it just depends on what he wants from his career right now. Minny is in a great place, but the Spurs with a solid PG will make the WCF again at the least. Either he wants the money, or he wants to contend again.

Trades should be banned from the NBA.

The only way you should be able to get players is through the draft and free agency. Once a team signs a contract, that team is locked into it, with no way out. It's time to stop rewarding incompetent team management.

>>76834304
Agreed, my Warriors dominance would be for 20 years instead of 10 if trades weren't allowed

>>76834353
lolno, trades are the only thing that could possibly keep GSW relevant once their contracts start coming up and their cheat stars start expecting big contracts

>>76834218
I know this may be difficult to understand for a summerfag, but the CBA doesn't allow you to trade massive amounts of salaries for nothing. The Spurms won't get under the cap without giving up some draft picks.

No one wants George Hill that bad.

>>76834462
>I know this may be difficult to understand for a summerfag, but the CBA doesn't allow you to trade massive amounts of salaries for nothing

They literally just did this for Chris Paul by trading a bunch of low level non guaranteed contracts from a bunch of different teams so the Clippers could cut them immediately after the trade and make the trade work despite the massive difference in salaries between Dekker, Bev, Lue and Paul,

You're the most non attentive retard I've ever seen.

>>76834522
Do you have any idea how expensive that would get with the luxury tax and the repeater tax and shit? There's no way GSW could afford locking up those guys anywhere near that long what that massively expensive roster.

There are consequences to going way over the cap.

You can kinda see the way the rookies are gonna turn out if you check their stats post all star break. You can't judge a rookie by their time pre all star break because they're still trying to find their rotation. If you judge by post all star break I think Buddy Hield looks like the most impressive rookie.

These teams thinking just adding stars means championships. Without good roleplayers and beautiful basketball you can't win. Spurs showed that when every star they had was way past their prime and Kawhi wasn't half the player he is now when they raped Miami in 5.

These trades are just dumb. No trade yet has made any sense.

>>76837481
I actually watched the games and he started off each game badly, only got better as the series went on, by that time they're already losing games and finally lost to the Celtics when both Wall and Beal couldn't carry the team anymore. Then there's Morris. He was really bad.

Players play to the system and what their coaches tell them to. Great players can change their game to that system regardless, it's less talented players that're only good at specific things that can't have their roles or games changed.

You thought KD couldn't give up the ball and allow Steph and Klay to still play well. You though Steph couldn't play with the ball out of his hands more. You though Harden couldn't be a PG. You thought Jason Kidd couldn't be a floor spacer and shoot threes. You though Kobe couldn't pass the ball or make his teammates better before he averages 7 assists in the Finals against the Magic.
