Rondo talked about it before. Didn't feel like it was his ring and never got distracted by it, always stayed hungry and wanted the starting job at PG.

Probably doesn't really care about it as much more than a thing he can bring up for banter with other players.

They tried that a few years ago and wound up with Aldridge. I think I'm done with the idea of the Spurs making moves in free agency. They're better off building through the draft and through fringe signings of Euros nobody has heard of.

>>76905033

Daily reminder

The Magic traded Oladipo, Ilyasova and Sabonis for Ibaka. They then traded Ibaka for Terrence Ross and the Raptors 2017 pick. Then they traded that draft pick to the 76ers for a 2020 first round protected Thunder pick and a 2020 second round pick either from the Nets or Knicks the less favorable of the two.

The Thunder traded Ibaka, got Oladipo, Ilyasova and Sabonis. They traded Illyasova and a conditional first round pick for Jerami Grant. They traded Oladipo and Sabonis for Paul George.

now that millsap is off the board, here's what might happen

>LMA to atlanta for not much (maybe belinelli and a pick)
>gallinari to san antonio

atlanta is now fully depleted. like, fully. their only players of note are bazemore and schröder. schröder is basically fool's gold, but he also legit is a good pick and roll point guard. PATFO and budenholzer are still close. atlanta doesn't seem too inclined to tank. so i think trading LMA to atlanta is an option. he'd be the legit number one option there again, especially now that the east has gotten even weaker. there's no forward or center who could steal his show. i could see him thrive there.

means that there'd be a hole to fill at power forward for san antonio. with millsap joining the nuggets, gallinari returning there seems unlikely. he's in talks with the clippers but it feels like he'd be a bad fit there. he's better as a power forward these days and they just gave griffin a supermax, plus they could only offer a MLE while gallinari opted out of 16M in denver to earn more, not less. they might be depending on a sign and trade deal with denver. but messina is gallinari's coach in the national team, and i've read interviews in the past of both where they where talking highly of each other. with LMA in atlanta, the spurs could basically offer gallinari a contract in the LMA range of 18-20M.

aldridge and gallinari are fairly similar production-wise, though LMA is the better defender and gallinari is even worse rebounder. but LMA got better at defense while playing in the spurs scheme, so there's room to grow there. still means the spurs would need to find a good rebounder to start at center. might have to take a chance with guys like thomas robinson or willie reed.

this is all still depending on what simmons decides.

>But CP3, Harden, and Melo.
The most ball dominant trio of all time. Would be horrible to watch.
It would be a game inside a game.

>>76905091
Rockets are worse. Their meme system is completely compromised and CP3 and Harden doesn't make sense at all, he's injury prone, and they lost their depth that won them all their regular season games and the first round.

Morey is a hack, please get some damn sense.

>>76905121
Now I want the Melo to Houston trade to happen.

I'll wait for the Harden and Paul infighting rumors and D'Antoni Melo drama to happen. Antoni would probably plan to leave as soon as they trade for Melo, especially after he dissed him at the Awards Show.

>>76905129
always had that on my list but i had concerns about his defense. might still work with a plus defender at center. gallinari is taking a ton of threes at a good clip though and he's willing to share and move the ball, so that might unfuck the spacing on offense for the starting five. the league-best defense might have a bit of a wiggle room to trade offense for defense.

>>76905131

Because they're a rudderless franchise that's changed GMs multiple times. They're basically the Knicks but they don't have the pressure of the media breathing down their necks so they don't have much of a media circus surrounding the team.

They tried to be spurs east but forgot to get an Admiral, Duncan, Kawhi, etc. and kept getting bitch smacked by Lebron. It's sad really. They were a respectable team but could never get a big fish when in today's game you need at least 2 big fish

You need 4 fish just to take down Lebron

>>76905215
This, it's 2017, if you're not eating your weed you're doing it wrong

What is it - East is shit because of everyone is scared of Lebron? or is Lebron overrated and he's lucky he plays in the East?

>>76905233
yeah i respect them for what they did, they fully committed to team basketball and ball movement like no one else, before the warriors did it better with better personnel. still, i respect it. kinda sad to see them eating shit now.

Maybe she just has to sing, for the sake of the song
And who do I think that I am to decide that she's wrong

>>76905266
Everyone that went West during FA has been bullied by LeBron for the past 7 years

>>76905279
Not an excuse when Toronto has committed to 3 more years

>>76905279
So you're saying Lebron is too good and that's why the East is weak? I'm leaning towards that but I can't help but feel the East has been weak for at least the last 8 years. Even with the Celtics or Bulls making waves, I feel like none of them could compete seriously in the West

>>76905290
>Last 8 years
LeBron was made the finals the last 7 of those years

>>76905299
That's my point. Sure Lebron is great but his competition in the East hasn't been tough since the Big 3 Celtics before they got old

>>76905288
That's so their shitty fans stay interested being disillusioned they're contenders, if they rebuild no one will give a fuck

>>76905310
It's the same reason why the AFC East is shit. Dominance of one team/player (Brady or LeBron) causes coaches/players to get fired or given up on quickly which creates chaos and so no real competition can form

>>76905314
Yeah but if you want a perennial bully victim of Lebron the trash bros. are it yet they stayed in..

>>76905290
LeBron isn't too good, the Cavs are just the only team in the East that has multiple stars to rely on whereas every other team has 1. Doesn't help that said stars leave because they're tired of running into LeBron. In the West they're surrounded by more talent and that enhances their chances at winning

>>76905321
You really think Lowry and Derozan give a fuck about winning, look at their playoff stats. They just want the most money possible, if they dip Toronto they'd make less money.

Atlanta is renovating Phillips Arena to be some state of the art arena in 2 years, so I don't think they want to be trash when it opens, definitely not going to move. Not from there but that's my guess.

The real problem is most of the east FOs are fucking terrible and need Silver to step to save them. The shitshows in NY, Brooklyn til recently, Orlando, Charlotte, etc. are why everybody heads west. Among eastern teams, Miami is really the only one with any kind of solid leadership at the top. So it's either them, Lebron's team, or head west

>>76905324
Which begs the question - Why hasn't anyone tried to build a superteam in the East? Brooklyn Nets tried to do it with Deron/Pierce/KG but they were busted as fuck. The most tantalizing report I can remember was when Dwight was close to joining Deron in Brooklyn before joining the Lakers

>>76905357
It's the timing. Western teams are better at drafting. Most eastern teams like the early 2010s Pacers only half assed it.

>>76905345
They're renovating it solely because they don't want it to be a nigger pit like it was before. Watch Hawks games on TV, stands are empty and full of black people every time.

>>76905371
That and Atlanta is undergoing a massive gentrification project right now, especially around downtown. The Georgia Dome is being torn down for a reason in addition to Mercedes-Benz coming up. In a few years Downtown Atlanta will mirror LA Live.

If Kevin Durant comes back to OKC, he has the perfect excuse.

Paul George is his favorite player to watch and if he comes to OKC, especially on a paycut, George is 100% confirmed not leaving in FA next year.

They'd be the favorites to win the West. And if KD demands a sign and trade, possibly a three team deal to get Kanter to a team like the Nets or Kings, it'd be beyond perfect.

Is this Presti's ultimate plan?

i think gilbert runs that franchise horribly. he hasn't given a gm a 2nd contract since lebron got there

which means hes either horrible at vetting his candidates or hes a pushover and lets lebron make the moves

miami was successful because they had a great guy in riley making moves for them to contend, coming back to cleveland and being allowed to run the franchise like a 2k team hasnt worked and wont work for the rest of his career

>>76905467

Here are my thoughts on the Lakers future.


Right now, your best assets are the #2 pick and Brandon Ingram.


Next you have Randle, Zubac and Nance Jr.


Finally, you have Clarkson, Nwaba, Lopez.


Obvious Deng will need to be moved.


The first group I see as untouchable, at least for the next two years.


The second group can be traded, if a superstar presents himself.


The third group is guys with end of the bench guys, guys who've reached their limit or unlikely to get resigned.


The issue we have is what to do with Deng.


Much like with Mozgov...


in order to move him we would have to package him with some legit assets


I think if we assume that PG13 isn't coming


...this year (we'll know in 24 hours)


Then we should move Clarkson, the picks and Deng to somewhere.


I think Deng is making like 18 million or something insane


That's way too much for a player of his talent


Furthermore Deng is better served as a 4 now in his career


However it's already stacked with Randle and Nance Jr


So let's look at possible places for Deng to land


The way cap space is available it's unlikely the Lakers will be able to find a suitor for him


At best, they can move him for someone who has 1 or maybe 2 years less on his deal


Another option would be to stretch his contract out


In truth, I feel like we shouldn't blame Magic Johnson for the sins of Mitch Kupchek


iirc Mitch lost a child and ever since then he hasn't been the same


being a GM puts a tremendously large amount of strain on a person so it makes sense that Mitch eventually slipped up


I believe the Lakers should (if possible) keep Nick Young at his 5.5 mil player option


With Lonzo Ball or Fox, Young will have another good year and probably be more efficent than ever


Expect Young to have one more huge payday next year if he does opt in this year


What do u guys think?


how many wins do da lakers finish with?


Is Ingram going to improve


By how much Gonna be an interesting year

I'm taking Alonzo Mourning over any other role player at his position any day, Payton was one of if not the best PGs you could as for regardless of age.

he was 15 or something votes away from winning MVP iirc

>>76906138
You said he wasn't in his prime, but he was still in his prime averaging more than 20 a game, a MVP candidate, and dominating the center position.

You're moving the goalpost to keep pushing this retarded idea that having experienced all time great players on your roster doesn't matter in winning a championship and that LeBron is a bum because he didn't have the team Wade did in the first 3 years of his career when he was drafted to the worst franchise in the NBA, not just the year he was drafted, but for years before that as well.

Pottery= Poetic

Which means something similar to poetry.
The scenario you wrote isn't poetic, it's not even unlikely or dramatic, it's an expected result. Poetically, or in a dramatic twist, it't be Westbrook winning, as poetic justice. But a true dramatic twist would be Paul George.
Then an ironic scenario would be Westbrook leaving the team after KD comes back, and Westbrook joins the Warriors.

You're so dumb

The Knicks don't want Anderson and a bunch of scrubs on non guaranteed contracts just to cut.
They want some real assets and not shitty picks from the Rockets.
How can you be this retarded?

>>76908850
He has a no-trade clause that he's reportedly only willing to waive for the Rockets and Cavs. If the Knicks want rid of Melo then it's probably the only realistic way of getting rid of his contract.

Celshits fans trembling in their diapers now that the dinosty and the rise of the 76ers will rule the conference.

Enjoy being the bottom team celshits fans. Maybe you can get a couple wins off the Knicks! Maybe.

>>76908879
There's a bunch of better ways through the Cavs who've already been working on getting Melo and been in three team deals. The Rockets are the most unlikely one of the two to work a trade with.

>>76908867
Depends how much they want to get rid of Melo. They can cut the non-guaranteed contracts, Ryno isn't bad (if a little over-paid - which isn't really an issue for the Knicks) and they'd get a pick.

They literally can't get anything better.

>>76908897
I am finding it very hard to see a trade that the Cavs would do that would result in getting Melo on the Cavs. Basically, Cavs would need to get someone good on a low salary plus Melo for Love to make it a worthwhile upgrade for them and I find it hard to see what that deal looks like.

Everyone keeps chirping that Melo and Wade are going to get bought out. When was the last time a dude averaging 20 ppg got bought out in Feburary? The biggest name I can remember being bought out was Joe Johnson who was way passed iso joe days.

I don't see what you're trying to say.

Cavs are working against the salary cap to improve their roster. They would need to get rid of Love to get Melo. Trading Melo for Love straight is not an upgrade so why would they do it unless they're getting another asset in the trade - and where would they get that asset from?

If you listed the top 5 guards, forwards, and centers, how many of them would be from the east? Three?

An expiring contract and a first rounder would be there best bet. They don't have to deal him, not like they are competing where his salary is tying up the roster. He sells tickets and it doesn't seem like he's screaming for a move. It's cheaper to keep her desu.
