ITs clearly Magic. Look at how he treated Ingram. Ingram went down with a cramp and Magic shut him down for the rest of the summer league. Dude is a bitch. He's clearly a Tiger Mom.

Steve Nash was elite at creating his own shot and an elite shooter, he's in the 50/40/90 club.
Lonzo in his college career and 2 summer league games, showed none of the abilities Nash mastered.

Paul George's introductory press conference has been scheduled for Wednesday evening this week.

2 more days.

>>77047890
Lonzo showed in college he could shoot the 3. The only thing he didn't show was free throw shooting. That is if we're talking college.

>>77047882
Lakers have no talent whatsoever. If Ingram or Lonzo actually got seriously injured because they didn't take care of him they would unfortunately be fucked

You could say that for every young team. Magic is just a Tiger Mom man. Ingram wasnt injured. He just had a cramp. Dude is clearly like Jerry Jones.

>>77047949
High school players weren't as common back then. So there was more risk in their eyes. Pretty sure Kobr was the first wing/guard player out of high school. Before KG, there was Shawn Kemp. I think those 3 were the first 3 HS players right?

>>77047949
Every more surprising considering that draft class was complete ass, with the second best player being Rasheed Wallace

>>77047913
He has literally one move to create separation for a pull-up, no midrange game and no slashing ability. At the moment he has no chance of shooting 3 pointers at an acceptable percentage against NBA defenders in his face.

The only thing he showed that can translate to NBA is catch&shoot 3's.

Which team is best?

>>77048026
why?

He had the choice to opt out but he took the Money. He Knew the bulls sucked

>>77048035
Why isn't Giannis on the third row, he's Greek right?

>>77048059
he's a nigger haha get it

I don't get it, why did the Craptors trade demare carrol?

From the articles I've read it's for cap space... but that doesn't make sense since most of the decent free agents have found a team by now.

Unless it was to keep sign Ibaka

>>77048106
getting below the tax line

>>77048004
He has no midrange game. His 3pt shooting will be fine. He shot from deep in college at a good clip, and his release is fast. His problem in SL has had nothing to do with his release.

He does have slashing ability. That was literally one of the only ways he scored. Again, he shot >50% fg in college because of that. It's his midrange game that is ass as you stated.

>>77048114

So they basically handed him away for picks to save money.

I am assuming the Craptors are worse off now. I guess winning now is off the table at this point.

I am aware they got a first and second round pick but I don't think they are even contenders to beat Leobron anymore

>>77047949
His shot wasn't great out of HS and being a stringbean was a concern.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aX-C4OZBMNE
nba players just sitting down and talking on these shows makes me like them more tbqh

>Hill could've gotten 30 million a year
>said no to the Jazz
>now is being paid less to waste his prime on a team in an even worse position than the Jazz

rip

>>77048132
Again, he can make catch and shoot 3's but at the moment he's not pulling up against NBA defenders. It has a small part to do with his shooting form but mostly because he can't create separation. He just can't.

And no, again he can cut to the rim off the ball (which was where most of his points at the rim came from), but he has trouble blowing by defenders and finishing at the rim. This is further evidenced by his no midrange game actually, because he can't get past defenders with ease to shoot from midrange.

>>77048173
well, that and he never recovered from his knee injury. don't ask me who they're starting at the 3 now though. derozan?

things might change next off-season. i think the possibility of lebron james jumping to the west to join the lakers (or clippers lol) is there. if that happens, they can compete for a finals appearance.

Look at their depth chart. These are their best players this season.

Horford is playing out of position at 5, and they are likely going to have to play Brown at 2 and Tatum at 4 occasionally because Crowder and Hayward are going to take all the minutes at forward.

They need someone who can rebound. The fact that Tatum might be the best rebounder on the team right now is pathetic.

Was Hayward a great addition? Yes. But it's not what they needed. Which makes the fact that they didn't go after Dwight all the more amazing considering how cheap he was.

Danny just doesn't know what he's doing. The Kings, 76ers, Lakers and even the fucking Nets all look like they've improved...

Jackson, Allen, Bird, Theis won't make the main roster.

Green, Jerebko and Zeller are gone from the Celtics.

Yabusele will get stashed again this year.

Marcus Morris played PF in Detroit and will play PF/C in Boston despite having abysmal rebound numbers.

I guess /nba/ doesn't watch basketball because the reason the Celtics got whooped by the Cavs and took the Wizards to 7 games was because they weren't able to get the ball in the net. But I forgot most people here just read statlines and play 2k and think they know what they're talking about lol.

>they weren't able to get the ball in the net
and more rebounds/possessions would improve that
they needed another scorer and they got it, but they got worse at rebounding, something they already were sub-par at. They need more rebounding, preferably from ONE great rebounder (rather than relying on multiple decent rb-ers) aswell as someone who can guard LBJ/KD reliably, and preferably another versatile scorer

>>77051036
>adding more rebounds/possessions would improve that

No, adding players that don't miss wide open shots consistently would improve that. So many players had open looks and missed the easy shots or couldn't play iso to score. Marcus Smart went off from 3 point land in Game 4 and they beat the Cavs even though their rebounding was shit that game. Rebounding is a meme, if you look at rebounding differential, it's all over the place, it's not like the best teams in the league all have the top rebounding differential, especially with everyone playing small ball.

>trade tatum + every pick to new orleans for anthony davis

The one with 5 Lins

Nene posted about Melo joining the rockets on Instagram then deleted it

Why doesn't Melo just get a buyout on his contract and become a free agent? I'm sure the Knicks would gladly not have to pay him his overpriced deal

Can we talk about how the Timberwolves are going to be overrated? They'll be a playoff team but they're still a star and a bench away from contention. KAT and Wiggins can score but their defense is atrocious. Teams that can keep them in check, like the Warriors, Spurs, and Thunder, won't have a problem absorbing their scoring. Butler is great, really, but I don't think he's enough for this team. Taj Gibson is underrated as a defender in the pick n roll but jamal crawford is extremely overrated inefficient trash. The bench is not great. I think their ceiling is 51 wins, and only that because thibidoodoo is familiar with Taj Gibson, Jimmy Butler, and vice versa, im guessing they'll get 48 wins and the 6th seed

>I (@ethanrothstein) was sitting right in front of Woj, overheard him say a Melo deal is likely tonight. FWIW.

>>77050751
3-5

>>77051127
Are you retarded? rebounding directly leads to more possesions. Ideally the Celtics would imprve both, but improving rebounding is a lot easier (though less effective). I can't fucking believe you say "rebounding is a meme" when its the only reason the Cavs beat the Warriors last year. In fact, its the only reason the Thunder ever had a 3-1 lead on them last year aswell. I mean ffs, the Rockets go at a fast pace to maximize possessions, rebounding is another way to do this...

When will people learn pretty much every modern day SF can play 2-4? This thread right now is just proof most of you don't watch basketball.

>>77051329
Yeah they're definitely overrated, and I think Butler is overrated individually. But they haven't made the playoffs in 13 years. They'll definitely be at least 8th seed. But yeah, any team lead by Teague at point guard isn't getting very far in the playoffs.

>>77051235

What? You're not getting younger but your team has 5 years of contention even if one of your stars gets injured real bad. KD, Steph, Klay, and Draymond are too good to worry about age for many years. Trading Klay just adds one more veteran star to the league's pool and threatens your teams status. Klay is way to versatile to let go of.

Meanwhile, Chicago would have beat the Celtics on account of their rebounding if Rondo hadn't been injured, OKC, Chicago, and Detroit didn't have any offense to speak of (even the Celtics were far better by a mountain) and Denver had no defense. You're literally comparing shitty teams that lacked talent at multiple positions to the Celtics, who actually had a somewhat balanced team and were a 1st seed.
You're acting like rebounding is completely unimportant while being the best scoring team is the most important, all the while Boston isn't even close to being where they need to be offensively.
