I don't know why he insists on the 3 point chucking when he is one of the most dominant interior scorers in the league. He is amazing at long 2s, fadeaways, layups, post-ups, in the paint, and with his back to the basket, but will spam 6 step backs after already being 0-4 from 3.

A lot of people say his issue is complaining, but it his mental weakness of tunnel visioning on 1 thing. Its usually either forcing 3s or going scorched earth on the refs. In game 3 of the finals its like he forgot how important the game was and where he was. Just had to prove a point to the refs.

The money doesn't matter. The Lakers suck because the team is centered around getting LeBron his stats for his LeLegacy. Here's how this is going to go: Lakers are gonna start the 1st half of the season doing their usual barely .500 basketball (or below). Then Klutch is going to have espn minions demand that Bronny gets more playing time because LeFraud needs more help. Then the entire 2nd half of the season is going to see Bronny getting increasingly more minutes and of course the rest of the team will have to put in a herculean effort to get Bronny his stats.

The Lakers, in their current form, are not concerned with winning. They're concerned with the James family legacy. And their fans are all LA retard star-fuckers, so they lap this shit up. Just put Kim Kardashian on the team already and those morons would fill up the arena and say she needs more help.

>no shit you fucking retard,
No, you're the retard who didn't even understand what I was saying. The team is centered around making sure LeBron has his garbage stats. They have to play 5-on-4 every defensive possession because LeBron is either whining on the other end, or cherry picking for his fast break layup (that he misses half the time). The team has to have all 4 guys boxing our for LeBron so he can get his empty rebounds. LeBron is the reason the Lakers suck. He is terrible. He's nor the "star player" in anything other than name. He's nor the best player on the team. He's actually the worst. That's why I said you LA retards might as well just have Kim Kardashian out there. She would fill up the arenas because that's all you dumb shit heads care about.

It's part hubris but also when he gets locked in actually starts making those ridiculous 3's that's when he has those 20 point quarters. So it's one of those "it looks dumb except when it works" scenarios.

My biggest complaint isn't that he tries them at all so much as he's slow to admit when it's not working. Taking one for a heat check is okay but sometimes he keeps chucking when it's clear it's not his night. I think if he misses a few he gets that gamer OCD thing where he *has* to make another one before he can move off of it

We're faulting the Nuggets for not just paying everyone to keep the band together but kind of overlooking that we're not in the "fuck the salary cap" era any more. Ballmer's one of the most reckless spenders the league has ever seen and even he slammed on the brakes a little this year. The only one still going full retard is Ishiba.

Yes, they would have been in a better position last year if they had 100% retention rate from the title team. But paying out the ass even for role players and bench guys when Murray and especially MPJ are already overpaid probably just wasn't very feasible unelss they just wanted to get raped by the luxury tax and second apron. It sucks but this is going to happen to a lot of good teams going forward.

If you were a young athlete making millions, with basically guaranteed 100s of millions by the end of your career, wouldn't you want to have as many kids as possible?
I wouldn't have them with the trashy whores he picked, but I would definitely want at least 10 kids by the time I'm 35.

I doubt he fully recovered from his knee problem in the playoffs, he got like two days rest then went to go play for the national team. It's admirable he wants to play no matter what but honestly Dallas probably wishes he wasn't

paying out the ass to win titles is always worth it, future ramifications be damned. It's not like the Kroenkes are broke either. It's one thing if it's just hypothetical or has no results like the madness in phoenix/LA but this was a proven thing. The fact that they were still in the mix but clearly missing that final punch should piss all of their fans off

I mean, didn't they already kind of pay out the ass to win a title? They've been paying MPJ like he's a perennial all-star for years now and he's not even good half the time. And they committed to Murray when they still weren't sure if he was going to be reliable (and honestly, are we even sure now?). Yeah, they didn't go four sheets to the wind and lock down everybody in their top nine but come on, man. They were throwing money at this team before they could even be sure they had something.

And again I really feel like "always worth it, future ramifications be damned" is something we're not going to be seeing as much going forward because it's not just costing extra money now. It actually hamstrings your team-building.

I think everybody agrees with that but at the same time if he wasn't there they probably don't win the one they did get. Which is kind of my point. They're already paying one guy who was necessary but not elite much more than he's actually worth. And they're supposed to do that to varying degrees with like five more dudes? While still paying Jokic and Murray and Porter top tier money? You gotta draw the line somewhere

"Just pay everybody whatever they want" sounds easy enough but I just don't think that's how it's going to be going forward, even for a lot of title teams.

they committed to winning a title but aren't committed to staying at that level. They've done nothing but regress. Sure don't pay BB, but not even attempting to replace him? Not making any roster improvements at all? Giving Nnaje one of the dumbest extensions ever for a nothing player? Letting a starter walk? Westbrick?

ok let me break it down for you retards then
when the lakers signed lebron, I knew what we were getting
we'd get 1-2 years of actually decent ball, then after that he'd fall off a cliff and we'd have nothing but the diva circus, I knew that was coming which is why I don't care
however when we traded for AD I expected him to takeover the team and for lebron to take a backseat, we'd get another actual star and we'd still be contenders
this hasn't panned out at all, turns AD is too much of a mental midget to actually lead the team, so lebron is still holding the reigns and has the game revolve around him
not only that, we're simply not contenders right now, the only way that happens is if AD steps up, regardless if lebron stays or leaves

Still Jokic.

What the fuck are we even talking about? The rest of his teammates combined have ZERO (0) career all-star appearances. Murray is a B-plus player masquerading as an elite player and has had one healthy season his entire life, Aaron Gordon was a bust until Jokic made him look respectable and MPJ is a grossly, hilariously overpaid 3rd option who would be getting torn to shreds by fans and media if he wasn't on a team with someone who could carry his dead weight on those nights when he decides just to not do anything.

Jokic took this bunch of inconsistent, overpaid underachievers, dragged them to a title and then to a tie for the best record in the west the next year. No player has ever won a title with less help (go on, name the one you think had a worse 2nd or 3rd option). He carried these fuckers HARD and singlehandedly changed the course of their careers and carried the franchsie. While being a got damn iron man to boot.

Dirk averaged 26 /10 / 2 in those finals and only shot 41%. That's not exactly bad but if Jokic put up a similar statline the Nugs have no chance
(Jokic averaged 30/14/7 and shot 60%.in the finals).

That Dallas team had Tyson Chandler, Jason Kidd, Shawn Marion and yes, Jason Terry (mock him all you want but the dude was the leading scorer in the closeout game). They were pretty deep. which is how they won despite Dirk only having an okay series. Whereas Jokic had to lead the league in literally ever offensive stat to get it done. One guy had a harder gig than the other did.

Lineup I'd play would be Maxey/Hield/PG/Roco/M. V. Peed but that's not realistic unless Roco has been in the hyperbaric chamber. They really could use a guard who can defend, someone like a Jaden Springer or Matisse Thybule or Deanthony Melton.

Someone in touch with Heat reiterated how much faith they say they have in this core (but they're hoping also to improve somehow eventually this summer). But I can't get past this: in their last 13 home games vs. good, healthy teams, they went 1-12 and were outscored by 152.

Sports are a natural analogue for petty tribalism and mock fighting.

In person my reaction to the celtics winning a ring after several years of rooting for them was at most a spring in my step for a few days.

>PG following Caleb Martin on Insta

>>142363440
theoretically couldn't any team sign and trade a UFA why are the sixers the only ones allowed to do it specifically?
>>
>>142363481
yes theoretically it's possible but there are all kinds of minutiae in these deals that trying to go through other teams is just a massive pain in the ass and waste of time. The last time something like that was really considered possible was the heatles because Gilbert was seething pretty hard but he still did the deal anyway
>>
>>142363481
anyone can do sign-and-trades. it's usually for teams that have bird rights to a player so they can give them as much as money as they want and ship them out to the receiving team.

just look at the klay thompson deal. dallas got a TPE for being able to send THJ to detroit for quentin grimes (because detroit had cap space and grimes doesn't make that much), so they could absorb klay's new contract and only have to send out 2 2nds to GS and josh green to charlotte.

GS then used the new Klay TPE (since they received no/lesser salary back) on Kyle Anderson (Minnesota gets back 2nds and some cash). GS most likely need to trade Wiggins and or some of their young players for improvements because they can only offer vet mins after also signing Deanthony Melton.

Which is why for teams spending big bucks, sign and trades are like the only way to get high priced players deep into a core's tenure.

To be fair, the apron did restrict what the Celtics could trade for this year. They just did all their trading super-aggressively last year so they could lock in the core indefinitely. Bird rights on the Jays helps.

>>142363663
it broke up the clippers which is what it was meant to do so it worked. Denver could have kept their core but they cheaped out and in general their other moves were the bigger problem

No shit he's gonna ask for that if he can get it. If you're a competent NBA GM you need to keep away from guys who are overvalued on the market and go sign Javonte Green for peanuts. Bucks got Delon Wright for 3 mil a couple days ago that's huge for a team that didn't have any depth.
>>
>>142366491
yep I understand him, but it's frustrating for people who follow him. I'd rather watch him play in europe than being stuck in an nba team that's tanking

>Deal includes player option and no trade clause.
He's really going to retire a laker
>>
>>142366567
there is always gonna be some fuckhead GM that pays roleplayers more than they're worth. Those roleplayers end up chasing money and going to bad teams, while good teams settle for cheap shitters. So you have overpaid roleplayers on the wizards and hornets, and a ton of bums on contending benches.

Daily reminder that run and jumpocontoupee's brother has been on the Bucks roster for years without doing anything.

But Bronny is actually going to play minutes. He was not a wasted pick, they are going to play him. And Lebron is going to pass to him.
He will find ways to set him up for shots and layups. And so he will score some. And he probably will hustle and play tough on d because he doesn't want to be viewed as Lebron's spoiled kid.

The mavs 3 point shooters aren’t as good as you think they are. They almost exclusively shoot corner 3s, while Klay can spot up from anywhere around the arc. I already know the injury affected his defense, but the offense is still there, and just having him on the court massively spaces the floor.
