Gay is gonna be 31 coming off an ACL injury. He's gonna be the main SF backup, probably letting slowmo Kyle Anderson go. Jonathan Simmons is gonna get a stupid contract because NBA GMs are the fucking worst.

Threadly reminder

What will /nba/ do if Gay somehow unJUSTs himself like >Javale did in the playoffs?

I tell you why you should post a power ranking thread right now:

It makes you feel good

With all these warriors players getting max contracts, and Curry getting the biggest contract ever, how much of a paycut is KD gonna take?

At the rate this is going he might have to sign for vet minimum.

knowing how much of a beta he is he probably would do it too lmao

I legit like rudy gay but isn't he coming off an Achilles? why does that not seem to worry any of these teams?

Directional passing was always garbage. But you can't even run a fastbreak because they're so fucking lazy by giving EVERY player (even if they're a shit center) to pass up an easy layup for a stepback 3. You can't hit long passes at any regularity because it would fuck over the already terrible defensive AI. Shooting gets tweaked, left alone for months, and then from ASB to when they stop updating the game, they change it on a whim to keep the park faggots happy. They introduce the archetype bullshit and turnaround so every fucking one can hit a 3 so little Jimmy from suburbia and Tre from the hood can heroball and pull up from 24 feet. I so want Live to come in and challenge, but it's still EA.

I didn't see Nene for 4/15. Seems like a good price.

that is a Big Baller prediction right there.

>>76860141

If you're trying to compete today in the year 2017, and you have the second best team in the east with the option of choosing Paul George, an all-star and franchise player, or Jayson Tatum, a rookie who never played an NBA game, which would you choose?

How BTFO are the Celtics? The east is so weak now that the nets are like one or two moves away from making the 8 seed and making Celtics assets worthless

>When was the last time the were relevant? Who was your best player in the last, lets say, 15 years? Please, inform me. No bully.

>>76860101
DID YOU SEE.... VEEEEE CEEEEEE!?

its definitely not guaranteed. if lakers don't come close to making the playoffs this season wouldnt shock me at alll if he stays with okc.

>>76860196
>The east is so weak now that the nets are like one or two moves away from making the 8 seed
We'd know if there were any deals now that they have Russell.

>>76860190
Yeah, giving the Pacers 1st round picks for 30 years for PG is a great strategic move. Celtics could have gotten Paul George, Iggy, and any other free agent and still would be swept by the Cavs. Not a celtics fan but they have no path to a championship next year.

>>76860205
Absolutely. Don't be surprised if he's traded mid-season by OKC

>>76860205
That's probably the best explanation for his return.

When you're trying to keep a dynasty together and rule for years you take the cut.

If you're on the outside of that and have no prospects then you might as well stay with your team and make bank like Harden, Wall, Westbrook, etc.

But now half those guys may not take the supermax so they can still contend, haven't given up on winning, yet Steph still takes the max.

His role is to be an offensive spark off the bench. He's never going to take that role now though. The Celtics basically go from the worst defense in the league when he's on the floor to the best when he's sitting, he's that much of a defensive liability.

>>76860612

what exactly did the pacers fuck up? They got oladipo and sabonis, PROVEN young talents with tons of upside, rather than gambling on a 2nd round pick in 2019 or some retarded shit

As much as I think Boston came out as total losers, the fact that they have so many assets mean they can still build a team for the future. None of the other contenders have that luxury. With the Warriors expecting to run away with multiple titles there is no point going all in for the present.

Why are people acting like Blake Griffin isn't a top 10 player and MVP candidate??? Is it reddit?? He's always been a beast without CP3 so why would that all of a sudden change?

>Woj: Jazz are confident to keep Hayward
The Jazz are confident they can re-sign Gordon Hayward, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN.com.
The Jazz will get their last chance at Hayward on Monday after he meets with the Heat on Saturday and Boston on Sunday. Woj notes that one of the Jazz assistant coaches and the Utah training staff have been working with Hayward leading up to free agency, so that gives them a leg up. Plus, Woj adds that coach Quin Snyder has built his system around Hayward. Not to mention it's been a revolving door for point guards next to Hayward, so now he may have a reliable guy next to him in Ricky Rubio. We probably won't get anything official on the All-Star until Monday or Tuesday.
