1. Tatum
2. Ball
3. Jackson
4. Fox
[DNP - Injured]. Fultz

>>77054067
If there's one thing Danny has right and I'll admit it, is Tatum

Sadly, I think one of Crowder or Brown is on their way out..

>>77054069
Yeah he's pretty good, I wasn't aware of how NBA ready his scoring is. He's pretty lengthy too so he definitely has the potential to be a two-way all-star.

I say get rid of Crowder and give Brown some more time to develop. His defense is good but his shooting sucks.

Daily reminder the ld is a running meme

>>77054067
Personally speaking I have it as:
1. DSJ
2. Tatum
3. Fultz
4. Ball
5. Fox
6. Jackson

Tatum's statlines may seem the most impressive, but there are just so many times I've watched him play where it feels like he completely disappears from the court, mostly when Jaylen isn't out there. He's extremely passive for a guy with NBA-level footwork and jumper.

DSJ just stands out to me more when I've watched him in the two games. Exciting to watch.

Anyhow:

No argument?

If New Orleans is headed for the lottery by the trade deadline, do they ship AD out to Boston for the BRK18 and LAL18, plus Brown and maybe some other picks to start the rebuild? Keep in mind those two '18 picks could both be in the top 5.

Excellent plan

>>77054365
This kind of thinking leads to shit like Hayward leaving because the team around him ain't good enough. If NO sucks again then they need to move him or lose him for nothing when free agency rolls around. They will never get the kind of godfather offer from anyone else that Boston can offer.

>>77054390
Maybe the management shouldn't be so retarded then. Other shit teams have successfully built around one star before

>>77054400
Well by then it'll be too late. They should cash in now and start over because they are never going to get another offer like that again.

Plus how awesome would the C's be with davis?

Thomas, Smart, Hayward, Horford, and Davis wins the finals.

The twolves improved on their defense, shooting, and bench, their 3 main problems. Towns and Wiggins are going to be a year better also and have a pretty monstrous starting line up of Teague Butler Wiggins Taj/Dieng and Towns.

>>77055978
wouldn't that make Fox the bitch if he ate Lonzo's ass?

>>77056524
I think the understanding is that Ball is letting Fox eat his ass out. He's inviting him in. Fox is not gay but when someone offers you an ass buffet what can you do but eat? The manly thing to do would be to eat that shit. You are assuming dominance over the beta

Its kinda like in the club when a guy slaps your girls ass, you don't punch him, you slap his ass back to assert you are the alpha male. You also lock eyes, this is quite important

>Ball is better than Fox

LAKERS FANS BTFO

PAUL GEORGE SAYING THE LAKERS RUMORS ARE OVERSTATED

>>77056845
He either has a white mother or both of his parents are also light skin.

Either way somewhere along the line his family got COLONIZED

>>77057644
he's basically saying if they don't make the conference finals, he's leaving

how is that lakers fans btfo

Sports illustrated just dropped a huge article with an interview of Paul George talking about the trade, Lakers rumors being overstated, and KD telling him about OKC organization and how it'll blow him away.

https://www.si.com/nba/2017/07/11/paul-george-thunder-trade-kevin-durant-lakers-pacers-russell-westbrook

>>77057785
>>77057644
he's STILL here

>>77057753
It shows he's not going straight to LA and wants to win, not wallow in shit on a stacked western conference playing with a bunch of busts. Even if he doesn't stay in OKC it means he's looking at other teams to win, not lose in LA. And he's a Clippers fan.

>>77057785
Why do they do these articles in the morning instead of releasing them at noon or something?

>>77057785
Why is KD trying to recruit George to OKC? This makes no sense. He's a snake so his words are all lies, is he trying to help or hurt?

Interesting....

>>77057644
What is he supposed to say? "Yeah fuck my new team and their fanbase they're so retarded for taking me as a rental and I hope they choke on their oreos when I leave in free agency next year!"? Yeah, that's a great way to get a chair thrown at you before your first home game.

>>77057881
He's more likely to go to the Clippers than the Lakers. That's what he's saying you retarded fish.

>>77057392
>beat dat nigga ass
>beat dat nigga ass

>>77058015
Clippers have zero capspace,future, or chance of success, makes no sense for him to go there desu. At least with the lakers theres the home town thing and development, even if they are absolute shit rn

>>77057853
probably guilt.

he's going back anyway once the Warriors let Klay go. he's destroying that core from within while winning chips and cucking Curry out of fmvps. once the original Warriors big four are broken, he packs up and goes back to OKC and wins chips Russ until they retire.

>“It’s too early for L.A.,” he says. “It would have to be a situation where the ball gets rolling and guys are hopping on. This guy commits, that guy commits. ‘Oh s---, now there’s a team forming.’ It has to be like that.” But the same is true for virtually every locale outside of Oakland. “I’m in OKC, so hopefully me and Russ do a good enough job and make it to the conference finals and love the situation, why not recruit someone to come build it with us? I’m open in this whole process.”

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

LAKERS LITERALLY CAN'T STOP TAKING L'S

>>77059917
Welp, there goes Paul George. Lakers are guaranteed to win less than 30 games now and Ball is definitely a bust. No FA is going to want to join that unless they're money chasing. It's over for LA, they're stuck rebuilding for the next 5 years, the FA strategy needs to be abandoned. They can't pray for a star to come and save them from losing when the organization is untrustworthy/unproven, has a ton of problems, rife with drama, and has no stability. When Jerry Buss died so did showtime. Then Kupchek did an absolutely awful job surrounding Kobe with scubs after Jerry West left. Kobe and Phil Jackson were keeping the team together with duct tape and still managed to win only with Gasol, after the huge Kobe contract that was the nail in the coffin plus trading away assets for a win now mentality with Dwight and Nash.

>>77060030
They better hope Ingram is pretty good and Ball is Rubio 2.0. That's the best case scenario.

>>77060107
Ball being a taller George Hill and Ingram being discount Durant is best case. But that's extremely unlikely looking at how those guys' careers started off much better.

>>77060159

>Ingram being discount Durant

You can't defend, when you try to save it's "goaltending", when you try to get the ball it's "reaching" and when you go for a slamdonkey you get a foul for "charging"

I don't understand how anyone could want this to happen unless they want to see a shit show.
It's pretty selfish and shows people don't really care if the Rockets succeed or actually build towards winning a championship. They just want to see a bunch of stars on a team playing together even if it makes no sense and their personalities and play styles clash with each other, the coach, and the GM's analytical philosophy. This only makes sense if you're building up assets just to trade them the next year but no one wants an old Melo and Chris Paul for real return. They're just wasting Harden's career.

>>77061409
It's a cheap "win now" move that was pressured by the Rockets' owner, who is very old, has had heath problems, and has been losing his mind as you saw in the playoffs last year and even got fined for what he said to a ref. He wants the Rockets to win a championship as soon as possible before he dies so he's been making Morey make instant win moves, even if it's not actually good enough, as we saw last year, you hire D'Antoni and use his model for winning regular season games, despite it being bad in the playoffs and too dependent on soft refereeing and the Rockets being undertalented and one dimensional. Now that it's failed you get aging stars trading your best defender and the heart and soul of your team, best off the bench player for your in the short amount of time you had him, plus Dekker for Chris Paul, trade your second best three point shooter for old Melo plus probably get a third team involved to trade another player as well to make the contracts work so Knicks get a better return, then you have nothing left from last year but three ball hogs two iso chuckers, three divas, and two strip club regulars to give up during games as soon as possible, even in the playoffs, so they can get their dick sucked and snatch people's chains.

>>77063146
And the Spurs have taken a hit with Duncan retiring, Parker getting hurt real bad so late in his career, Manu possibly retiring, and Aldridge being a total bitch.
The Spurs have added Gay, but it only places them one player ahead when they're still trying to replace 3. Pop can coach, but even OKC gave them problems last year with just Westbrook alone.

Now with the rise of the ThibsBerwolves and OKC's sudden defensive renaissance, the Kings being the new Memphis, and the Warriors loading up again, I don't think it would make any sense for them to have the same record as the past 2 seasons. I can see the Spurs getting 3rd this season.
The Rockets aren't going to be anything but an offensive power, meanwhile they got rid of the only player to have a track record of actually killing Westbrook while OKC retained one of the only guys known to frustrate Harden.

The power of the west shifted this offseason, and we're just watching it happen. Can't wait for preseason, wish these 2.5 months would go by a lot quicker.

Harden is just as big of a stat padder as you claim westbrook to be. Westbrook completely fucking shit in james harden's mouth when they were both on the floor together in the playoffs, Harden only won because his bench beat westbrook's bench. This is literally a fact, you can look it up and watch those games again.

By what fucking metric are you using that tells you Harden is the better player? Literally has worse stats, plays worse defense, is worse in the head to head, but the most damning evidence of all, the EYE test also favors westbrook.

All harenfags can do is muster up strawmen "westbrook doesn't win", "westbrook pads his stats" without realizing Harden gets a million points off of free throw bullshit, pads his stats just as much, and has completely given up and phoned in performances when his teammates needed him most.

Kindly shut the fuck up and admit you have no idea what you're talking about and are just listening to ESPN or some bullshit instead of watching the actual damn sport.

>>77064003
But westbrick fags are literally the biggest stats nerds out there, he even won his MVP based entirely on stats

QUICK

What ad should each team have on their jersey, specific to the team of course.

I think the Warriors should have ads for grindr on their jerseys because they're gay faggots and so are their fans.

>comparing westbrook to penny
>thinking shaq is better than westbrook
I can see Brodie squaring up and tearing MJ's asshole a new one. The comparisons to Penny is baseless, he's not as beta as him, and yes, Westbrook can take on Shaw and I'd argue that he could posterize him, multiple times, in the same game.

You literally cannot debate this. Westbrook is a GOAT while having to play with a choking G-league bench, while MJ had a stacked team. Also, MJ is revered just for playing with a fucking flu, while Westbrook is currently playing off of 3 knee surgeries.

>>77064003

Penny was really really good in his prime so I don't see anything wrong with that.

>>77064033
again, that's because he played in a premature era. shaq would be exposed today with the pick and roll, and guys like anthony davis would force shaq to come out of the post. westbrook is a natural counter to shaq.

not to mention he he's finished 3rd in the west twice. Once while dwight was out for most of thee season and last year in a rebuild year where they didn't even plan to contend in the west. Meanwhile westbrook can't even finish above 6th without KD

>>77064095
>premature era
Fuck off dude, all classic big men are obsolete in the small ball era because of rule changes. Make Russ play ball in the 90s and watch his ass get knocked out every game.

>westbrook isn't a team player
Stop this retardation.

Just because Westbrook turns it over doesn't mean it's bad.

He's the only ball handler and runs all the plays, so there's always going to be a higher amount of TO

But his AST-TO ratio is good and you have to look at the team TO rate.

As long as the team TO rate is okay it doesn't matter how many TO Westbrook alone has because the more he has the ball, the less amount of TOs other players have.

>>77064176
>Westbrook is good because he fucks up more

>>77064171
Russ is tougher than any fag in the 90s. If you want proof, the pinnacle of 90s ""toughness"" was MJ playing with a fucking FLU. Get real man, Westbrook has played through dirty fags like Beverley diving at his knees. He can handle a little roughhousing.

>>77064205
Kek. Bird and Kareem were elbowing each other in the face. Russ would be crying

>>77064205
You're shitting on Shaquille O'Neal the GOAT center because the evolution of the position has changed and wouldn't work today, Which is totally fucking obvious. But there is no center that is as dominant as he was in that time period. There is simply no comparison.

>>77064199
How does it feel to be a brainlet? Westbrook sacrifices and takes the blame so his team doesn't have to. Therefore it's only right for him to take the praise when his team does succeed.

Uh yes, he gets all the praise for his team going 1-4 in the playoffs. I have no problem with giving all the praise to him for that

>tfw fully on board the Minnesota bandwagon now that there is nothing else to look forward to in the east

Nobody cares about some white boy who happened to be ahead of his time because he developed a jumpshot. Also, nice backpedaling. Weren't you talking about the 90s, fag?
>>77064241
Ok but the original argument was that Shaq is supposedly better than Westbrook. Truth is Shaq was the only decent player in a dead position, while Westbrook earned his MVP in a position that is so top-heavy.

>the worst thing they had to worry about was pointy elbows

lol. I hate how people try to act like the 80's and 90's were hardcore because sometimes they accidentally grazed an elbow or their tummy hurt during a game.

Meanwhile in today's social media era everyone has to be 1000x mentally tougher to handle all of the criticism. MJ would have been mentally annihilated had his gambling allegations come out in today's era.

Are you seriously making this post and posting this player and expecting for anyone to take you seriously and not laugh at how pathetic and salty you are for wasting time dick riding a loser that literally gives up during playoff games and being the most low energy choker on earth? And you still double down and stick ride his dick?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Serious question. Is Derek Fisher a hall of famer?

Westbrook is going to get criticized by cucks like you no matter what. But it's funny that you praise him for that, because pulling out one win in the playoffs with his garbage cast is truly miraculous.

>b-but muh online bullying
lmao just lmao

LeBron took a worse cast to the finals. Obviously Westbrook isn't close to LeBron just just one win? Pathetic. Even Kobe took trash to two

>>77064297
You gotta switch to the OKC bandwagon bro. Thundie Rapties broship, remember? We also got P-Pat.

He got almost 14 rebounds a game, averaged 3 blocks, and 29 points when Shaq got his MVP

Russ got his MVP by being the only player who gets the ball and chucking it poorly at the rim for 82 straight games.

He has over 400 more attempts than the next guy under him.

If there was a hall of fame for role players, then yes. But there isn't, so no.

How will Lakers fans deal with the fact that they drafted light skin Rondo #2 overall?

>LeBron took a worse cast to the finals
In the garbage east, also even though they were garbage, their playstyle fit with LeBron's playmaking abilities. Westbrook's 2nd option gets nutmegged by a little kid in a training camp while his 3rd option can't make a free throw to save his life.

Also. Kobe had a better cast than most people think.

Dennis Rodman was a role player and he's in the Hall.

Reminder this was Westbrook's best teammate last season

having the physical endurance to keep taking shots and driving to the rim after 100 straight possessions handling the ball is impressive in and of itself.

You act like it's a bad thing they give him the ball so much
