Kyrie did nothing wrong. Literally beat LeaveBron at his own evil, selfish game. If Ainge and K. Love weren't dummies, he'd finally learn the true meaning of 'muh no help'

Serious question, what do you get out of calling others who haven't harmed you in any personal way a "snake?" That's like the epitome of inferiority.

let them live the lie. It's fun watching how mental illness works

Imagine if Spurs had gotten Beverly. They couldn't trade Pau Gasol for him? Pau shot over 50% from 3 so he'd be perfect for them

>>78200678
pau pau in Hueston?

CP3
Harden
Melo
Gasol
Capela

nah he's too slow for that offense, and the don't do the whole pik n pop do they?

>>78200678
>bev and kawhi
that'd be criminal

>>78200729
Ryan Anderson's only job is to sit on the 3pt line and create space basically. I think Pau could fit that fine

Beverly
Bradley
Kawhii
Porzingis
Gobert

how many titles?

>>78200755
Beverly
Green
Kawhi
Milsap
Gobert

>>78200755
i forgot to say that these guys are 2 way palyers, and it's not even an impossible idea, the most expensive would be kawhii and porzingis and gobert, but big threes are affordable now, and beverly and bradley would come cheap.

who would've been finals mvp if the warriors won in 2016?

>>78200763
Prozingis is not great defensively. If we're talking just rim protection then he's decent but you already have the best rim protector in the league with Gobert so it's a bit irrelevant. Better to have a PF who can protect outside the paint like Green. He's not great from 3 but with everyone else you should be fine

>>78200761
green i mean meh, spurs should give a pick to get Shumpert, could pop turn shump elite?

>>78200755
Bradley is decent but they need a decent 20 pt scorer other than him, take millsap over porzingis.

bev, AB, and Kawhi will provide enough spacing without needing porzingis

Bev
Bradley
Kawhi
Milsap
Gobert

>>78200776
Green is better defensively (even made All NBA Defence this year) and a better 3pt shooter (38% on 4.6 shots vs 36% on 3.4 shots). The only thing you really get with Shump is he's a bit younger

>like Green
would rather take Jae Crowder

>>78200796
Why? Even if you think he's a chimp and a millennial you can't deny his talent. Not only that but you team didn't have a single good playmaker which Green can also provide

>>78200792
>Bev
>Bradley
>Kawhi
>Milsap
>Gobert

i never liked Millsap, idk why, he's just boring. His game is efficient and what i'd want on a team but I'd replace him with aldridge.

Bev
Bradley
Kawhii
Aldridge
Gobert, pick n pop, pick n roll, fastbreak, #1 defensive team in the league, and a middle of the pack offensive team. Basically a team built for the post season.
>>78200809
never! take my original team and take out porzinger and put in Lebron James.

>>78200755
Considering GSW and the Big 3 heat have only won 2 probably not that many if any at all...

>>78200829
milsap can pick and pop, handle the ball on a fast break, shoot the three at league average, and he shits on lma on defence

if you can post highlights of his best game of last season, ive been trying to figure out whos better, and well, id take aldridge just for his shot.

>>78200881
You can't judge a player like that. but here is a game from the playoffs

https://youtu.be/Kv2aXTZrVEA

they lost because Howard was averaging like 6pts 8rb

>>78200881
Aldridge is trash. Did you not see him in the playoffs? Milsap is superior to Aldridge in every way

>>78200912
theres not one single thing millsap does better than aldridge

>>78200942
thanks for the laugh

>>78200946
aldridge has accomplished way more than millsap

>>78200908
like i said his game is efficient and clean. you can tell he works on his game, his scores in different ways unlike aldridge but i dont see that dominance, like blake girffin. He's forever going to be a 3rd option. id still take aldridge, even if he plays like a bitch boi sometimes.
>>78200912
>Did you not see him in the playoffs?
i try to remember everything that happens in thep layoffs but i cant. desu the only thing i can remember from the top of my head is how kawhii got injured, and kevin love in game 3 of the finals where he had a monster game 9possible game 2 i dont remember)

>>78200980
nigga, milsap averages more pts assists and rebounds, is a better defender while playing with a much inferior team, lamarcus is a choker.

your just wrong

>>78200993

>>78201114
hes not my favorite, i just prefer him over Milldew

>that guy during pickup who posts you up everytime down, grunts and gets a little too touchy

I was watching some old 90s basketball footage and i keep wondering why do all those players and teams act as if they're allergic to the 3pt line? I almost got the feeling that they felt as if taking a 3 was a bad shot even if you were wide open.

>>78201154
for what? he literally does nothing better, especially since the criteria is a two-way player team

>>78201242
90s players had class and didn't shoot memes unless they were cucks like reggie miller

Howard

If Kareem played on the Warriors in the finals and Durant wasn't able to play, what would his averages have been?
All the spacing in the world, shooters all around him, no real big men to defend him...

Whichever route Westbrook chooses, his annual salary with the Thunder would be roughly the same since he will have played 10 years in the NBA. If he waits until next summer, however, he could sign a contract allowing him to opt out under his own terms, whereas a designated player extension would keep him in Oklahoma City for at least four years, with a player option in the fifth year.

he's leaving

You're on this general because you love basketball. And if you love basketball then you owe it to yourself to give up every other thing you give a flying fuck about and watch the Oklahoma City Thunder. And you know why:
Russell Westbrook.
Russell Westbrook is bringing it. He's bringing it hard. I wish everyone could go back and watch that five minute spell in the fourth where he came back in and just ignited the afterburners, strapped falcon talons onto his hands and drove his will deep into the Lakers' heart.
Russell Westbrook is box office shit. If you're bored and you've got nothing to do and you don't know which game to watch, just watch Russell fucking Westbrook deep dick stat lines with enough power to light up a major metropolis.
Seriously, why the fuck are you still reading this, go have a wank to some Wesbtrook highlight videos and pass out safe in the knowledge he plays, on average, three times a week.

I'm going to go ahead and ignore the warriors bait and just say that the Wizards are a better team than the Celtics.

>>78208115
you're right actually. Wizards have the #1 pg in the east. Celtics? have a top 30 pg and an overrated forward.

maybe amir johnson and olynk (zaza of the east) but i dont know how involved they were in the rotation, not to mention they had the 2nd best pg in the east.

Andrei! You son of a bitch.

Tony Allen on the Pelicans is good but they still need more SFs.

Also, Cleveland really needs to sign another wing defender at some point and they're really running low on options at this point.

>>78209085
The real problem is having both Pau and LMA. Paying Pau would be fine on its own, and paying LMA would be fine on its own, but together it is not at all fine.

>Tony Allen on the Pelicans is good

>>78209386
Pau is horrible on defence. Dewayne Dedmon signed with the hawks for just 6 million and he could actually play defence whereas Pau is a black hole on the side of the floor

>>78209300
>>78209378
Remember when Kirilenko signed at a crazy below-market rate for a team owned by a Russian billionaire, and then retired and immediately became head of the Russian Basketball Federation? the NBA owns so fucking hard

>>78209413
Yeah but the Pelicans just need competent NBA players at this point really.

>>78209415
Pau is bad on defense but he's still a valuable player overall as long as you use him in the right way. But it's hard to use him well when you also have LMA.

>>78209487
Not at 16 million, and for 3 years. That's far too overpaid for a 12 points/6 rebounds and no defence 36 year old

are you retarded? AD is the type of player GMs dream about when they're tanking for draft picks and he's under contract through 2020. It would take a small country to make NO move him

>>78209577
90% of the general has you filtered for a reason, maybe they are right

>>78209528
He scores really efficiently and brings a lot of value on that end of the floor with passing, rebounds, etc. He is a very good offensive big and he can play center, and that's really valuable in a vacuum. And I don't know how he's going to age through the course of the contract but I trust the Spurs FO a little bit on that particular aspect.

I agree that it's a weird contract when you're already paying LMA.

>>78209529
They should rebuild, but I think ownership really wants them to win now. Which is obviously dumb but they're the ones who own the team.

>>78209592
how long they've been tanking now? fuck outta here nigga

>>78209507
he's slightly overpaid but stop exaggerating

>>78209592
If they can't build a playoff team this year, with him and Boogie, how the fuck are they ever going to build a playoff team around him? Seriously, how is it ever going to happen before he leaves?

>>78209622
New Orleans would actually probably be in a lot better spot if they had tanked longer. They've been trying to win (and making terrible moves to do so) at least since the Jrue trade.

>>78209622

The pels haven't been tanking at all, they're just incompetent. Getting rid of their once in a generation talent won't change that

IMO curry could redeem himself and be considered a top-10 all time player if he left the warriors during their dynasty years to join the Hornets and took them to a championship. I wouldn't even be mad if the curryhornets swept lebron as long as they took down KD's warriors in the finals.

I would respect him then. He would be non-meme.

lebron chose longevity. You can't fault him for being smart enough to not play while injured and conditioning himself to avoid injury. That's why I can't be mad when he flops or makes a big deal about cramping since you never know if it's really serious.

Kobe think's he's being tough, but had he left the court as soon as he felt his foot was uncomfortable and rested himself he might still be playing today.

step aside scrubs, let a pair of real teams show you how it's done

The Los Angeles Lakers and the Houston Rockets. Fastest team in the league. #1 in offense. #1 in transition buckets. #1 in steals. #1 in assists. #1 in points in the paint and FT line.

>>78200764
Livingston was making a strong case but Draymond was playing good too and if they won Game 7 easily Draymond, he was on fire in Game 7 and basically kept them in it

>>78211893
That'd be a pretty good combination. Looking at both teams I figure you'd be looking at something like this for your starting 5:

Chris Paul
James Harden
Trevor Ariza
Ryan Anderson
Clint Capela

And then on top of that you have Nene, Eric Gordon, and PJ Tucker coming off the bench? pretty fucking good

McGee likes looking good and probably wasn't getting much better on the market since he did hold out for a bit. Other teams probably know he doesn't look as good with longer minutes in another system.

DWest just likes winning.

Zaza's skills are invaluable to the Warriors but his lack of athleticism and age meant he wasn't getting huge bucks elsewhere.

Only DWest would have made significantly more, but he already has a ton in the bank. The other two would have maybe gotten longer guaranteed contracts, or made a few million more, but Javale's made over 60 mil and Zaza's made over 50 mil (nominally) in their careers. So it's whatever.
