Realistically though, Thibs will grind the starters down to nubs; Butler's more than due to have some wear on him, Wiggins will get frustrated playing so many minutes and not getting enough touches, and KAT will get some kind of foot injury that stick with him the rest of his career.

We'll also be paying our backup pf 16m over the next 4 years.

Im on LTE because my shit was supa hot fire and the inevitable happened

How's my lakers doing?

>>77906651
What are you talking about Gandalf. Kawhi has better regular season FG% (.495) compared to KD (.488), and better 3P% (.388) than KD's (.379). But, KD has a better FT% (.882) than Kawhi (.847). And come crunch time in the postseason, Kawhi still beats him in these percentages except FT%:
>FG%
Kawhi: .541
KD: .468
>3P%
Kawhi: .427
KD: .344
>FT%
KD: .853
Kawhi: .803

Literally the only thing stopping from Sam Antonio from winning the WCF was Akashi repeatedly getting injured. I'm fully convinced San Antonio would've beat GS in the WCF if Kawhi wasn't injured in that series.

>>77906868
They definitely would have beaten them and thats why Zazas bitch ass move pissed everyone off

The Spurs would not have beat the Warriors even with a healthy Kawhi, for the record

>>77906094
I thought Dieng was your backup center, not your backup PF. I mean it's still an issue either way obviously

it feels like the obvious answer is trade Wiggins and Aldrich for shooting and wing depth but it also feels like the team Thibs built is extremely Thibs and he's not going to fuck with it that much

>>77906868
Hold up, I don't know where you're getting your stats from but they're all wrong. Here are the stats for the 2017 season
>FG%
Kawhi: .485
KD: .537
>3P%
Kawhi: .380
KD: .375
>FT%
Kawhi: .880
KD: .875

Kawhi: 5.8

He was looking at postseason stats.

Which is a really bad comparison because Kawhi only played two rounds against the Rockets and Grizzlies whereas Durant played 4 rounds and faced the Cavs, Spurs, and Jazz.

Durant puts mediocre efforts but is an elite defense because his length ans style. He curls his arms when he defends cause he's not a full tilt alpha, but it works because his 7'5 wingspan. He basically makes the defender thinks hes farther away because his hands curl up at the top of his defensive stance..like so

Rudy Gay is a fine player to have coming off the bench in a vacuum the problem is more that the Spurs roster is already full of old dudes who aren't particularly interested in playing defense

>>77907543
Things that suggest the Lakers can't knock off the Warriors in 7:

- they're not a good enough team
- they don't have enough good players
- their players aren't as good as the Warriors players
- very few of their players are good enough to beat the warriors
- they're not good enough

Our head coach was on their staff for years he knows their ganeplan Durant is just an added problem, which is why Ingram is so covered here. We've been one of the only teams to not only beat the Warriors but blow them out on more than one occasion, we always play the warriors hard. And now we have one of the best young point guards in the league. If all goes right I do see a suprise upset ironically kind of like the "we believe" warriors. I think it could happen

>>77909006
>any song in the 2010's

Lmao look at this know nothing clown.

John Wall can make All Defense...I honestly think he'll do it this year. John Wall is very ambitious and likes to hold himself accountable for his team's success. If the Wizards are to take the next step, i think it comes with him taking less shots and being more efficient, and getting back to heating up the other team's ball handlers and sparking the Wizards defense.

Bradley Beal may hit 25+ppg, and i think Otto will improve to around 15-16/gm. Add in Frazier as a reliable backup to spell him, and i can see Wall taking Kobe up on this and accepting the challenge.

I think the Clips will slide out of the playoffs this year and PBev will lose relevancy, which may play a factor

Are you talking about the drum beat or the vocal melody?

Regarding the vocal melody:

>Fred Fairbrass tells Vulture that, not long ago, Swift, Antonoff, and their publishers reached out to Right Said Fred’s publishing company, Spirit Music Group, and asked for permission to interpolate the song. (Meaning Swift and Antonoff incorporated an original recording of “I’m Too Sexy” into their mix, rather than use the original masters.
>The three members weren’t even aware of Taylor’s interest in tinkering with “I’m Too Sexy” until two days ago, and none of them got to listen to the finished product until today, with the rest of the world.
>two days ago

And its just going to be chill in Cleveland with Kyrie phoning it in for the next two years? Nobody is going to trade with a team that calls take backsies and pulls shenanigans.They knew Thomas was hurt.

Willing to bet money its a bluff from Gilbert and his 1st year GM. They took this deal over others for the draft pick, a thing they don't have until 2021, because Lebron is most likely leaving and they needed something to help control their destiny and avoid being a lame duck. Go get Melo or Wade if you want a splashy Kyrie replacement to bait Lebron to stick around (it won't work). Their best case scenario for the season? Maybe they make the finals again and get swept by Golden State?
And If the Cavs are actually dumb enough to rescind the deal? IT will probably be pissy but he'll cool off while he's out nursing the hip and when he gets back, he's going to bust his ass on the court because he wants a max contract and he'll have to showcase something before he hits free agency.

>>77909224
They really like Kyrie
They don't wanna pay IT a max deal
They're betting their rookies will step up
The Nets pick is unprotected
They found Zizic between the sofa cushions and just tossed in him for the hell of it.

>>77909227
I agree that they're useless out of context, but PER is useless even compared to other advanced stats used out of context. It is a really bad stat.

>>77909241
I don't really agree with the way that it values offense, but even if you do like the way that it values offense, at least use OBPM which generally values players similarly to PER and is also specific to offense instead of randomly throwing in blocks and steals in a totally ad-hoc way that doesn't actually measure defensive value but also has nothing to do with how a player affects their team on offense.

I mean, unless you really hate the idea of per-possession statistics I guess

>>77909266
Are you the guy posting essays from last night? Jesus, let it go mate.
>They knew Thomas was hurt.

They thought one to two months, not until the ASG which seems more likely at this point. Ainge withheld information, likely. Not a good look.

>>77909278
BPM is the true retarded advanced stat. TPA by NBA Math corrected it and made is much better. Then you don't need BPM anymore just because of offensive and defensive rating.

Also
>Cleveland.com

They've done nothing but write hit pieces against Kyrie and literally treat LeBron like a god, they have no reputability and are so biased it's not funny. They also use Love as a scapegoat way too often.

>>77909266
>Nobody is going to trade with a team that calls take backsies and pulls shenanigans

People still trade with all the GMs that Danny claims pull offers off the table for no reason. Of course people will still trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers, you dumbass. Because they're trading for Kyrie Irving who is a very good basketball player. They're not going to refuse to trade with the Cavs just so that they can defend the honor of their good friend Danny Ainge. You absolute weirdo.

And I have no idea why you're so certain that Isaiah is going to get over it that easily, either.

>They don't wanna pay IT a max deal

And they know that they need a replacement, and they really like Kyrie, so they got desperate and overpaid. Exactly. The team that got desperate for Kyrie does not sound like a team that's going to be totally cool with standing pat and building around Tatum and their 2018 draft picks. You know how I know that? Because they signed Hayward and traded for Kyrie Irving. They wouldn't do that.

They got so desperate, in fact, that they ended up in a situation where they overpaid once, and then got trapped having to overpay again because the value of their trade package went down precipitously as soon as the trade got announced and IT got pissed at the Celtics, and also the Cavs got a look at his hip and thought it was worse than expected.

I don't know where you get this idea that it would be a good plan to build around Gordon Hayward, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and their 2018 picks. And I don't have any idea why you think that the Boston FO is remotely interested in doing anything approaching that.

IT is said to be heartbroken. Boston is fucked up.

its a staring contest between Cavs and Celts.

>>77909330

>>77909371
They need them draft picks. Cleveland has to face the very real possibility the only big name player they'll under contracts is Kevin Love in the coming seasons.

>>77909375
It's not worth it to lie for just a second round or low or highly protected first round pick (which they will likely ALL they get from the Celtics).

Cavs didn't lie imo, no incentive to do so. Do they want more? Yeah, and they're taking advantage of the fact that Ainge burned the fleet and is at a disadvantage. But I feel the Cleveland doctors are just telling it how it is.

>>77909371
They have every reason to. While the Celtics have no reason to. Cleveland is clearly trying to extort much more than originally agreed after the Celtics gave them as much info as reasonably possible to make the deal work, Cleveland agreed, now they're backing out of the agreement since they have leverage to get even more. Boston should stay pat and tell them to fuck off and it hurts Cleveland's reputation, which they must not care about knowing that LeBron is about to leave and they'll be stuck with a bunch of untradeable contracts so I guess it doesn't matter that they won't be able to trade afterwards so they want as many picks from Boston as possible because this is their last shot at supe rstarting a rebuild.

Last year Westbrook created the most open shots in the league as the main ball handler, created the most open threes and they ran only P&R/P or Westbrook playing iso off the wing or posting up on smaller players while he was on the floor.

You don't study offenses or strategy at all and I can clearly tell you're the retarded NFL tripfag that needs to fuck off and go back there.

Twin towers vs Barkley and Hakeem

A lot of post ups, hesitation 15 ft jumpers, and passing out the post to cutters and three point shooters.

You're about to do the same thing for my comment because you're a predictable unorginal and unfunny cunt straight outta 6th grade.

Ignore the loser that spams shit and is afraid of intellectual discussion of basketball and the use of technical terms.

reminder that the actual season hasn't started yet and we have been talking about the same topics for about three threads now, take the fucking stick out your ass bballbreakdown and sit the fuck down somewhere.

>we've been spamming retarded shit and I'm a dumb fucking shitposter so stop trying to talk about basketball, strategy, or study old videos and keep this thread dumbed down to my level like the pea brained cuck I am

>I can't handle bantz

You know, it's possible that neither Boston nor Cleveland is lying. Bodies are complex and people can disagree about the best way to treat them. Boston has an incentive to think that he doesn't need surgery, Cleveland has an incentive to think that he does, but that still doesn't mean that either side is lying.

You think PG is going to be happy being a roleplayer? Being a bit player in the Russell Westbrook Show?

>You know, it's possible that neither Boston nor Cleveland is lying.
Yeah but it's been clear for several days that most of the people posting here are incapable of comprehending or admitting this.

regardless of whether IT needs surgery or not, the Celtics package and that 1st-round pick in a 7-8 player deep draft are probably the best offer that the Cavs and LeGM are going to get for Kyrie

name another team that has upcoming top draft picks to hand out like that and players available that would actually fit around LeCoach

Top 5 best players

1. Lebron
2. Durant
3. Leonard
4. Curry
5. Westbrook

reminder that no owner/gm gives a fuck about a player in the bigger picture
reminder that kevin durant sacrificed money to save some billionaire jew a couple million
reminder that kevin durant is the biggest cuck in NBA history
reminder that the celtics are going to be the 2 seed and lose to lebron in the ECF
reminder that lebron is going to lose to the warriors in 5
reminder that blacks are inferior to whites in every way

I think this patient needs 20ccs of morphine to feel better Dr. Margret. He's having another fit of anger and delusion. Has started talking about his imaginary nemesis again. Clearly obsessed.
