>>142161312cute blonde who works in the pharmacy looked at me not once, but twice after we broke eye contact. when I walked by to fill something up front. Shit was majestic...
We did it, boys. *sniff* (emotional af rn) CONGRATS TO BRON AND BRONNY!!!The FIRST father and son to ever play in the NBA simultaneously, and by a sheer coincidence of fate they will even suit up for the same TEAM!I'm so overwhelmed rn with just how proud I am of these two. Lebron put in the work to still be BITW in his 22nd season. Bronny put in the work to earn a roster spot with basketball's most storied franchise. They did it. They just.... ****ing did it.*wipes tears* LETS GO BOYS!!!!!!!
>>142161342>every commissioner in NBA history has been a deceitful JewReally makes you think
>>142161381thats UCLA coach John Wooden..
/nba/ is now a /pw/ colony.
Bronny is finna put the league on notice
>>142161398Hell yeah!
.
Jordan’s son was a significantly better player than Bronny, but he never used pressure tactics to force him into the league because he understood that there were other players more deserving of the opportunity.I can respect that.https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/marcus-jordan-1.html
>>142161381is it possible to have a more irish name than larry o'brien

>>142161342I remember I broke some blondes arm in middle school cause I accidentally ran her over in basketball and her brother tried to beat my ass. wasnt even my fault, I turned to get back on d and she was standing right behind me where we were playing mind you.
Can we talk about the mormon church using weaponized pussy to manipulate the draft system and turn utah into a sporting powerhouse

Bronny or Thanasis who you got?
>>142161524they also recruit slavs and ethnic africans
>LeGod>sired a son that made it in the NBA>Jorbum>weak ass sperm, 0(zero) sons in the NBAwhat is the implication of this
>>142161524Polynesians are great at football though
>>142161550thanasis was drafted when giannis was averaging 7ppg coming off the bench. he earned his right to play in the NBA, hes also nba size (6'8 220 good muscle)bronny is 6'1, barely played at USC (put up garbage stats when he did) and all the scouts said he sucked. Hes basically what would happen if you put a rec hooper in the NBA.
>>14216159110TH BEST PLAYER ON A TEAM THAT COULDNT MAKE THE NCAA TOURNEY
>>142161557That's not true. ANT is all-star. It will be an icy day in hell that Bronny amounts to anything.
>>142161591so you're saying theres a chance
Trae is recruiting Mitchell to the Hawks
>>142161342>looked at you once>broke eye contact >looked at you again>you walked by, did nothing about to expect blog about it herethis is why America is failing as a country. real man would have been on that by now.
>>142161550bronny's not on the thanasis trajectory, he'll be extremely lucky to get the kostas one
>>142161608ebin doodhaha he is le son of jorkek, good one
>>142161639Thanasis made the Greek national team. Bronny couldnt start at USC
>>142161591>>142161611also Thanasis sucks but can hold his own when hes on the court because of his size.bronny because of his size and name will be picked on every possession see >>142161529
>>142161624nigga, a girl making eye contact ≠ wanting to fuck you.
al horford shot dead in DR!!!
i can already see what Silver has planned>Lakers start the season 5-10>rumors start that they should trade LeBron to a contender>Bronny dies of heart attack on the bench >LeBron runs over and holds his child in his arms as he dies in front of millions of fans>at post-game press conference he says "this one's for Bronny">Lakers go on a 35 game winning streak mostly due to questionable officiating >get refballed to a title>LeBron retires to groom his next son to the NBA

>>142161342Talking to someone while making eye contact doesn't mean they want to fuck you tard
Lebron manipulating things to ensure his talentless son plays alongside him is truly his career in a nutshell. Anything special that could have been made about this moment or a future, genuine version of this moment, is completely taken away from us and replaced with soulless inauthentic manipulations. This is par the course for Lebron. Lebron made a whole career of forcing his current team to give up all future assets for a small win now window. And then when it was time for that team to deal with the long term consequences of that, Lebron moved on to another team that had assets in order to repeat that process with the new team. This ensures his current team was always flush with more assets than any singular team team that operated normally. Lebron sucked the soul out of the league for 2 decades and is the person most responsible for the current state of the NBA.

Are people going to hate on Bryce when he's drafted?
>>142162337Bryce is worse than Bronny despite being bigger
All bronny needs is to learn to shoot which can be done at any age
>>142162408And rebound...and defend...and how to pass...
>>142162408him not being able to shoot is whatever, but he can't really dribble either which blows my mind. You'd think he'd be Kyrie tier

Anon's UDFA review>Alex Ducas OKCLove this guy although maybe not as an NBA player, Aussie shooter who flashes more scoring capacity with lots of moxie. Think he'd enjoy starring in the NBL more but he could stick here in a bench role. >Jalen Bridges SunsCould definitely make it as a 3&D guy, should have been drafted>Reece Beekman GSLacks size and athleticism for a combo guard but can play both sides of the ball>Trey Alexander NugsPoint guard who can't really run point but that's not a huge deal next to Jokic, didn't love him but I like the potential fit in Denver>Jamison Battle RaptorGuys like this can pop in the NBA, doesn't really have a position or a floor game or much defense but he'll just fire up 3s with no conscience>Isaiah Stevens HeatWent from flashy highlight seeker to floor general point guard. There's some Kemba in there.>Tristan Enuruna BostonFirst time I watched this guy 5 years ago I was convinced he'd be an NBA player in the Rodney Hood mould but his development stalled.>N'Faly Dante HoustonThis guy would be a first rounder 15 years ago.

>>142162337“Bryce” as if is name matters is talking like it don’t matter. Dipshit, my dawg! If Lebron is not still in the league when you’re getting drafted then you are never in the league. The arrogance on these James kids is pretty wild.
>>142164363Like father, like son.

peww why does it smell like kaka and wee wee in here?
It really is a liability for Pat Riley to be your GM in this current league. Pat has beef with Ainge so eliminate any potential trade to the Jazz. Pat has beef with Cronin now so eliminate every potential trade with the Blazers. Pat has beef with Klutch so eliminate every potential trade or signing for a Klutch asset. His ego eliminated trading partners for half the league.
>>142171199>Nooooo you can't represent your country, you'll jeopardize our chances of making the play-in!!!
>ESPN Sources: Nine-time All-Star G Russell Westbrook is picking up his $4 million option and returning to the Los Angeles Clippers. Westbrook averaged 11.1 points, 5 rebounds and 4.5 assists a season ago.

>>142179944CP0 finessed his way into his only Finals run doing that. If it's me, I'm definitely going for the Magic, depending on what position I play. Out in the East for the easier road to the Finals. No income taxes. Easy life.
>>1421799442024 should have been the year for the Clip gang. 2025 is not the year but they might as well run it back. They got names on their team. New arena, sell some tickets. Should’ve already blown this up though.
>>142179944You can't trust any of these guys other than Kawhi He's wasting his time with them
broken sport
>>142180333Only so many teams can blow it up at once. Right now a handful of teams, like OKC, own the excess draft picks of the league. You have to wait for the vet teams to restock on their picks before you can get to tanking again. Sometimes that means you just lose out on getting max value for trading your aging bums, but that's just the timing of things; getting that value wasn't actually a real option the last couple years since none of those players played for Villanova and the Knicks were the last team with all their picks willing to make a deal. No sometimes, you just got to move forward with what you have until the timing improves.
The most important news today is that C's are bringing Hauser back.Teams obsessed with the big names don't get it.
sooo uuhhhh, Nugs will definitely get a new PG now that Reggie 'Big Government' Jackson is out right?? lowkey wanted Westbrook to sign for them instead.
>>142181742already got Jalen Pickett. It's clear that Booth is going to strongarm Malone into playing young guys by gutting all muh vets. It's probably going to backfire though
>>142181994
>>142181742Bruce isn't a PG, they don't need that position with Jokic they just need a real 6th man
>>142182127It's the owner's fault for being cheap. They have a short championship window. Hell Balmer is paying for it
Pelicans to the West Finals I'm feeling it
I'm still trying to figure out where Tim Hardaway Jr fits on the Detroit roster. Does he start? Who's place does he take? Jaden Ivey's? Jaden and Cade are actually a great duo together on the floor. I'm confused. Did the pistons trade for an $18 million a year player specifically for a 6th man role?
>>142182422he doesn't. It's just a salary dump. He'll fill some minutes as a spacer but he's not a real piece for them. Probably gets flipped at the deadline for some desperate team
Final point on this Nepotism nonsense.Forget the fact that Bronny had a mid 1st round grade before cardiac arrest.Forget that he had mid 50’s grade right before the draft.Forget that multiple teams wanted to draft him before Lakers did.The fact that yall don’t get that actual Nepotism is putting Inept people INTO POSITION OF POWER where they have influence over others, that they have no business having…you know like Presidents, Senators, CEOs, CFOs, Sports Agents, General Managers and Lakers Owner….The fact that all of you that are crying “nepotism” about a talented 18 year old getting his foot in the door(that he was going to get no matter what), while literally spending every day of your existence IGNORING Callous and nefarious examples of actual Nepotism All Around You… is exactly how I know that this whole faux outrage has ZERO to do with you caring about Nepotism and everything to do with how you feel about Bronny or his Dad.Just be honest for once.

>>142181742Booth is a glue sniffing retard bro is using top 10 all time player to develop end of bench pieces to say nothing about overpaying bums. Jokic should force his way to Knicks or Mavs if Nuggets let Booth do his thing
>>142182517He's an expiring deal so only way the pistons get more value from him is trading him for an even worse contract for a team looking for salary relief.
Just one more year of tanking bro. Next year we're winning the draft lottery bro. Just one more year of being dogshit.
Less than 3 hours until free agency
>>142182526I actually don't care, I fucking love nepotism. I just hate LeUncleTom
>>142182526I'll agree with you - technically, Bronny wasn't drafted based on nepotism. Technically.His daddy's contract is/was expiring; drafting him was a way to keep daddy happy/on the team. Drafting him was also good for free publicity, therefore more tickets sold, TV viewership up (higher ad rates), increased merch sales, etc.With that said, and as other anons have rightfully pointed out numerous times, were he not daddy's son no NBA team would have had an instant's interest in him. None of them. And, as soon as daddy's career with the Lakers is over, so too will be Bronny's NBA career (at least as a player) - that is, unless daddy buys his own NBA team, in which case nepotism will very much come into play.

Its sickening how youre all attacking Bronny James. First of all, LeBron James is the greatest player of all time, for achieving, this incredible, feat. Playing with his own son? Its an absolute, inspiration. I play pickup with my wifes son in the driveway when his dad comes over to visit, we are both thrilled by LeBron’s achievement.

>>142188364>THERE WILL BE NO ROICISM IN MY PRESENCE
Yall don’t get what makes us different.NO ONE had to convince me that Bron is the GOAT. Not the army of pundits & commentators & practically all of social media. In fact, all they did is spend their every waking moment trying to convince everyone that we should ignore our eyes & brains to choose “their guy”.This is where we are different.Real Bron fans didn’t have to be convinced of his 1 of 1 Greatness by anyone. We literally had to trust ALL the evidence & our own ability to comprehend the game, in order to go against the entire Media machine & the avalanche of disinformation that has come with it.That’s the difference between us.

I find myself in a basketball thread. I'm going to tell you the meaning of life. The universe is a cell. As above, so below. The cell is struggling to survive. Just like you and every other living organism. Life is about balance. There is too much darkness and not enough light in this universe. The cell (universe) is creating life for 3 reasons: to preserve the balance within yourself, to preserve the balance in your environment (earth), to preserve the balance in the cosmos. Think of the universe as a signal. Right now it is weak. But the more atomic structural connections, the stronger the signal. Our universe is at war with others, which is why it has spawned life for help.
im going to laugh extremely hard when PG ends up back on the Pacers or tries to ride Embolism's coattails only to get buttblasted by the Inceltics or Cuckslmao @ cloppers thought they were winning a chip this century - you had an All California hometown team and managed to fuck it up lol ISHYGGDT
WARRIORS PACK WATCH
>>142199271Not surprising. But who's gonna give him max money? Detroit is the only team with money
Serious question, how good is Bronny? I don't follow. And why is he so short?
>>142199591>how good is Bronny?genuinely terrible and wouldnt be drafted if it werent for his father's last name>And why is he so short?his mum's like 5'9
>>142199591Well he's like a QB who can't throw or read the defense or read the offensive scheme or lead
>>142199591Height genetics is only probabilistic based on parents preasu unnastando. And Bronny was a bench player on a losing college team and possibly a bottom 5 NBA draft pick all time statistically, so he's not good.
>>142199784So he's like a Jamarcus Russell?
>>142199698In general, I don't think the players moms are specially tall. That guy just lost in the genetic lottery
>>142199941He could throw though. Not much else but he could throw
>>1421996985'9 is good for a woman. Bronny just missed out. Bryce got the Lebron height.
let me guess, the heat are gon get PG?I can't wait until he goes to a team other than the heat.
>>142200088for some inexplicable reason he wants to go to the sixers because he somehow thinks that might salvage his reputation as a playoff choker by joining the other biggest playoff choker in the league
>>142199964it's not just being tall, it's being athletic. A lot of nba moms were track, bball, or volleyball players
>>142200088The Heat have no money to get anyone outside a vet minimum, Inceltic. Why are you making up headcanon boogeymen to laugh at when the inevitable happens?
>>142200326>implying
>>142198735So you're saying I should work on my jumpshot?
>>142200326>The Heat have no moneyand what exactly has Pat Riley tied up all his money into? certainly you can afford to offload a few bad contracts
>>142200364What a pointless and meaningless reply. Yes the Heat can't afford PG. This is known. But you can't help yourself but bring them up.
>>142200408Kind of wild how the warriors would have possibly 6 rings if drayboon didn't boon out
>>142200451>implying
Why are these guys dumb enough to get married in the only years they'll ever make NBA money?
>>142200585Kevin...
>>142199271>UnexpectedGuy is a shell of his former self and still wants to get paid like he's a star, not unexpected at all. Only thing unexpected is how he acted like a child about it and unfollowed and deleted everything Warriors
>>142200446Unfortunately the Heat aren't allowed to have infinite money like the Knickrabbis. Doesn't help that their owner is a cheap Jew so he spends all his money on cheap undrafted players. I really hope the Heat is the first NBA team to get bought out by the Saudis.
>>142200477A draymond should be it's own Kingdom, class, and order of primates
>>142200639the heat are close to the 2nd apron. They spend money, just poorly
Is Steve Kerr a good coach, or did he luck into having a superstar team?
>>142199556>>142200710>did he luck into having a superstar team?Every "good" NBA coach is like this
>>142200628>>Unexpectedyour reading glasses...
>>142200477Some boons are just pathologically self-destructive. I don't think Shaq ever booned like Dray but he did ruin his chance to 4-peat by turning his own pettiness into selfdestruction on his own health. Drayboon will always find a way to boon out when things are going too good in his life.

>>142200639>*gives undrafted shitters who overperform once exorbitant contracts*>wtf we have no cap spacefunny thatone single all star beside jimmy and the heat have 2 maybe 3 rings
>>142200710yes
>>142200710His system only works because he had Steph. His Team USA run proved this when he tried meme small ball. Despite having the best wings and guards and depth in th tournament, his small ball trash fell apart trying to run JJJ at center. Teams have already figured out how to run all his good off ball action while also having a real big man in the center, so now Kerr is a relic.
Antonio Brown claims that Klay and PG are going to sign with the Magic
>>142200996I believe him.
>LeBron James is hopeful to lure Klay Thompson to the Lakers, per @TheSteinLine.
KCP will be a Magic.
>>142201052LeKWAB needs more scapegoats
>>142200628Klank Thompson has been a shell for 3+years now. He shouldn’t even be in the league anymore. I’m happy that my 2nd favorite team the Orlando Magic which I don’t really care about don’t pay him.
Who the fuck stops this team 4 times in a 7 game series?
>>142201239Yeah the fact the team gave him a thank you contract and multiple chances, to unfollow them like a spoiled woman is crazy
>>142201244In the 2nd round? Literally every other playoff team
>>142201244Embiid permanently crippled himself this playoffs. It's over for him.
no love for my man Royce O'neal getting the muh vet bag?
PG is either going to the Magic or 76ers. That means my Heat are officially a poverty organization. Probably was true the entire season last year but now it's official. Absolutely zero improvement to their team for years. Might not even make the play-in next year with everyone else getting better. Should trade Jimmy for picks but they'll let him walk away for free instead. Maybe this year will be the year Tyler Herro lives up to whatever headcanon Pat Riley has about his potential.
>>142201440>4 year deal when he was washed 2 years agoGood for him

>>142200477It is pretty funny to think about how we would have Jordan vs Curry debates but Apemond killed that discussion with the whole KD situation.
So, the Clippers gave Shai, 7 first round picks and some seconds for PG. Who had an infamous meltdown in 2020, was decent in 2021, missed the playoffs in 2022, did fucking nothing in 2023 and 2024 and will now leave for nothing? On top of that he robbed the clippers of like 200 million and Ballmer paid half a billion in luxury tax. All this for fucking nothing? One conference finals in the real mickey mouse year?
>playoff penis ruining banchero's career before it has a chance to take offno fuck off you useless lout
the clippers are the laughing stock of the NBA and they shouldnt even exist
>>142202222Curry is better than Jordan anyways.

Kinda wonder if Warriors might give Wiseman another shot. Its not a horrible fit as a 3rd stringer on the minimum
Nepotism is only bad when I don't benefit from it.
Orlando is going to be the best Florida team next season and I wish them all the luck. Celtics and Knicks are elite teams in the East. Pat Riley failed.
>>142194781no pg for my dubbies =(
Pat Riley lost. Klutch, the Boston mafia and the Knickrabbis won. Retire old man. It's over.
Why did these dumbfuck nba players vote for a salary cap increase cap? League revenue going to the moon and theyre stuck with 10% increases. Lmao
>>142191445looking forward to it
>>142202975they didn't want a repeat of Durant to the Warriors
>>142202975they didn't want the massive jump that happened in 2016
>>142202975CJ McCollum, Grant Williams and the rest of the players association fucked the entire NBA so superteams don't get made anymore unless you're in Bosten then you can make superteams. CJ will forever remain ringless and go to Hell when he dies hopefully a painful death for ruining the NBA.

I really hope Pandemic P chooses the magic over my sixies. we don't need another overpriced career loser on this team. sick of Morey continuously changing this outdated 2010s "big 3" meme. Sign a bunch of role players that either won a chip or came close to a chip in the past few years and make this a complete fucking roster. overpay for KCP and go steal Caleb Martin away from Miami, i don't care.
Former Clippers fan here, whoever gets Paul George, good luck, he gives the appearance of being good but is actually an unreliable bum. 76ers would be fucked with him and Embiid, maybe they can work out a deal with the local hospital for discount on medical treatments
>>142203104Turns out if you draft three of your best five players you have a lot more leeway in what you can do.

>>142206279Even if they have a slight chance of making the play-in the jazz are still clearly rebuilding (hopeful). Id say after the season brandon miller had and the fact we already know Lamello is all star level when healthy hornets should be in hopeful too, though that could change with how this year goes. Blazers and Wizards also literally just started their rebuilds last year so they should be in like a middle tier of Rebuilding (started). Though somethings the Blazers have done confuse me.Grizz should also be up a tier based on how theyve played during healthy seasons even if I dont think theyre all that. At least one of the Bucks or 76ers should be up a tier too considering that if theyre healthy both teams have a top 5 player in this league
>>142206279The Bucks, Wolves and a healthy Kawhi are bigger championship contenders than the Knicks

Lamelo is the best player they've had in years, and brandon miller does not look like a bust, but I'm holding my breath until they can actually maintain that talent>Blazers and Wizards also literally just started their rebuilds last year so they should be in like a middle tier of Rebuilding (started). Though somethings the Blazers have done confuse me.Wizards are in charlotte tier poverty and don't have a particularly large amount of assets for the future, and they just traded away one of the only good players they've developed (avdija) to the blazers, it's gonna take some time for them to recover. Blazers transitioned into a rebuild a year or two before they traded Lillard, which sped things up for them. Now they have some good assets in Grant, Ayton, and Simons, some promising projects in Henderson and Sharpe, and a few good acquisitions in Avdija and Clingan.>Grizz should also be up a tier based on how theyve played during healthy seasons even if I dont think theyre all that. At least one of the Bucks or 76ers should be up a tier too considering that if theyre healthy both teams have a top 5 player in this leagueThe grizz shot themselves in the foot by drafting gigachink and Ja/JJJ/Bane is merely decent when the three are healthy. Good role players though. Maybe if they reach for the 6 seed I'll put em higher.

The one time he actually played through his inevitable injuries was his free agency season and the Clippers removed that incentive by paying him. He can't stay healthy, he doesn't really give a shit and his contract is guaranteed. The Clippers are perma-fucked, just as they always have been.

Klay to the Lakers
>lakers getting another washed dude to scapegoatI believe it
>>142208017This Klay subplot seems like it's juicy but I feel like it's going to end up being completely inconsequential. If he really wanted to stick it to the Warriors and resurrect his career he'd go to Denver on a cheap deal but instead some stupid franchise is going to hilariously overbid and he'll go to a bad team, play like shit and be an albatross by the second year of his deal.

>>142206407True, but on the other hand as long as they have to rely on Murray as a second option they could implode in any given series. Dude's had like one healthy season in his entire life and seemed to forget how to play basketball in that Minnesota series. Jokic doesn't need much help but Murray still has to have his head outside his ass more than once per series.Also they're probably going to lose Sneedtavious Feedwell-Seed in free agency because there's always some idiotic GM who thinks overpaying the 4th best guy on a good team who won't look nearly as good outside that context is some kind of savvy move

>>142210914>because there's always some idiotic GM who thinks overpaying the 4th best guy on a good team who won't look nearly as good outside that context is some kind of savvy moveKCP is probably the best 3 and D role player in the league, that will always have value

>>142210568
>>142183257Nah. We are probably tanking until 2026. We'll realistically start pushing for the playoffs in 2030.
>>142191401Wes Unseld is our greatest player ever. Arenas isn't even top 5.
>>142210914Murray was getting killed by Minnesota because he had to walk into like 4 all-defensive first team members every possession. The only teams with that many defensive experts are the Celtics and now the Knicks, who they would face in the finals. Even still, they took the twolves to 7 (seven) games and can make up for a lot of deficiencies through sheer force of will. Murray can be wildly inconsistent, going anywhere from a brick layer to first-team all NBA in a given series, but there's nobody else that would be an upgrade at an acceptable price.Really, they should be pursuing a replacement for caseypee and developing their bench harder. I wouldn't move MPJ right now because Jokic needs kick out targets and he's probably the best catch n' shooter in the league, they're honestly fine for a four-man core.
Why Orlando? Is Yidsney funding the Magic?

Gib Supamax plz
>>142211604You can't really say Murray was playing like shit because of WolvesD. During the Lakers series he shot like ass as well. Now they have lost Reggie off the bench, could and will probably lose KCP. Braun is his replacement and his game hasn't really impressed me, not to mention who will take his place on the bench. So this means a weaker and less experienced bench and less experience in the starting lineup. Other than trades there isn't much they could do to strengthen their bench, development is out of the question since people expect them to be champ contenders and not just playoff contenders this coming year.
>>142213609lol what >doing so you lost two mvps that were yours, one to itookadumpo and one to westbricklarden wasn't going to get mvp in 17 because westbrick had the no-kd narrative from the get goalso the media didn't shit on his flopping as until him and the rockets missed 27 straight threes, add the constant team hopping the past few years and he did it to himself

>>142216134He's signing to the Celtics and winning 6MOTY in 2025
>>142215807>>142215932I think because it makes him a better potential trade piece he gets a free $50k for restructuring his deal
>>142216162if curry goes to the celtics he becomes option number 1 and tatum comes off the bench
>>142216119>>142216167Will Dawkins continues to be mentally retarded, playing checkers with down syndrome IQ against college graduates playing chess
>>142216231Curry will average 19 points scoring with the second unit
>>142216116I just found out that not only they have multiple maximum salary caps, they also have a minimum salary cap
https://x.com/sixers/status/1806789157236175107he is gay right?
>>142216315>127 mil is the minimumI know 14 mil is a lot of money but that doesn't seem like a lot of flexibility, especially with how big contracts are getting
>>142216415Holy fucking grim
>>142216415Yes, they found him at a Miami gay club grinding on Jimmy Butler unfortunately. Embiid almost threw up when he found out.
>>142210802>trade Reggie out, a guy who played the 6th most minute in previous regular season, for a couple of unprotected 2nd round picks>keep this dude for whatever reason, a guy who had even less minute played last season compared to Nnaji. I know there's a salary difference between those two but why? muh veteran presence?
>>142216415probably. i saw some tiktoks from this dude that really made me question him
>>142216593because Malone kept "muh vet" with Reggie Instead of developing the kids. Booth is a genius but this whole thing collapses if Malone doesn't do right. It also got them under the 2nd apron
>>142216720>for 2024/25, Jokic+AG+Jamal+MPJ's salary alone is around 76% of their whole wage billis this normal for other teams? like 5 starters take like 85% of the whole wage bill?
>>142216937Yes the new meta is paying your starters a lot and drafting/signing cheap players for depth. Teams wanna be top heavy.
>>142216937Stars and scrubs being paid appropriately
>We get summer league next weekend
>>142216937it's relatively small but the Nnaje money and years are wild
>>142217165That guy looks like he's Dunkin and strokin" COCK
>>142214967Who would you pick as your starting five from DW officers?
I don't know if any of you faggots are actually hoopers or not but give me some advice>6'2", 200lbs, moderately lanky>have streaky 3pt shooting and handles, but am an excellent defender and have a knockdown middy>can occasionally recover bricks inside and finish at the rim but am quite bad at grabbing boards and complex layups even at my height>just get walled by fatasses playing defense and forced into the perimeter>also a shitty playrunner so I improvise a lot and hope my screen and roll/pop techniques pan outIn a sense I'm basically 2&d guy who is hopeless on the boards and on playmaking outside cuts and interior/bailout passes. How do I deal with fat faggots when competing for rebounds and not look clueless on offense without the ball?
i wish jayson tatum would butt fuck me. celtics fan btw. and im a man
bruh>>142217473idk how to pick a starting five since I'm still figuring out how NBA position works other than Center is the tallest dude, then Forwards, with Guards being the shortest. If I only follow that guide then it'll beCenter: Meng HuoPF: Guan YuSF: Deng AiSG: Dian WeiPG: Ling Tong

>>142217812Two truths and one lie
>>142204095The Nuggets did that and their cap situation is terrible right now.
>>142218261which is which
nuggs are really gonna waste Jokic's prime years just like that, huh?
>>142218589every good team not on rookie contracts has a "terrible" cap situation. It's how it's supposed to work
So Paul George is tricking with three teams now, which does he go to?>CloppersNot going to win anything as long as Kawhi keeps sitting with a hurt asshole. Not a balanced roster, very little future assets to move around. Only real benefit is that he gets to play close to home and go .500 on the season.>OrlandoYoung playoff team in need of a shot in the arm, but joining them would not make them title contenders versus the Knicks and Celtics. He's also on a different timeline and shouldn't be taking away from Banchero and Suggs' development. I wouldn't say this is the right move.>76ersWould slot in excellently with Embiid and Maxey to form a guard/forward/wing trio on a win-now timeline. 6ers with George would be a definite number 3 in the east with an okay shot at further playoff success. Morey is a faggot and philly is a gross city, but it's probably his best move
>>142217634You’re a scoring guard, get the ball in your hands most of the time and when off ball run around to get open like curry. Stop trying to be a good rebounder at 6’2 that’s dumb. Be aggressive for steals.
Lakers should avoid Klay, go for Kevin Love he’s cheaper and they need rebounding
>>142217634Get your guy in an awkward position and boxout for the rebound. Unless you are sure you can get the board, try to position yourself so they can't really get control of the board and use one hand and knock the ball towards teammates or until you have control. Rodman did this a lot. As for off ball movement, Screens on or off are a powerful tool. Set flare screens to force a defender on a specific side of the ball handler and allow for a quick catch and shoot or inside pass. Try and use screens not just to get open but also to draw double teams or mismatches.
>Patrick Williams intends to sign a five-year, $90 million deal to return to the Chicago Bulls, league sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadiumhttps://x.com/ShamsCharania/status/1807267350401400898Bulls fags...I...
>>142219543that's about what he's worth. Low-mid starter money
>>142219543We giving straight up damn near crackhead looking motherfuckers almost $20 mil a year! NBA is so fucked. They don’t even know it. I give them till 2030 before they realize.
>>142216315the salary cap is a fixed proportion of nba league revenue so you have to spend the vast majority of it
>>142219443Who should I watch for film inspiration then? People have called me detlef schrempf because of my habits and appearance/frame, but idk if that's the right direction to go in. Just random 3&d guys in the nba?
>>142219148PG isn't about winning he's going to the team who will pay him the most cash
>>142217634get your weight up like mj did to compete against the pistons lil nigga
>>142219770>star players with all-nba selections already getting $55-60 million a year on max contract extensions>before the new TV deal even kicks in>we will see players make $1 billion in career salaries and still complain about too much hard work>>142219543>bum you were about to let test RFA>when you still want to trade Latrine and Vucevic, latter of which you also tried to trade but didn't want to lose for free so you extended himBulls are completely retarded
>>142218081lebron doesn't even wear 6 anymore
>>142219993PG isn’t about shit. He’s only focused on the afterlife. His podcast. Boring us to death on ESPN. I wouldn’t touch PG with a 10 ft pole if I’m a team looking to sign talent.
>>142219955What type of player do you want to be? You seem to care about improving you playmaking. Tyus Jones, Fred VanVleet. Really its all about chemistry with your teammates.
Is Latrine's contract worse than Beal's?
can we get much higher?
>>142220770Ye's peak
>>142220735damn nearI was gonna say at least lavine is younger but its only by a year or 2
>>142220735no because Beal has a no trade clause
>>142220735does lavine have a no trade clause? If not then no. if yes than arguable because while lavine is the better player he may be a player thats harder to just add to a team with how ball dominant he is
>>142220596I want to be an average three-level scorer with clamping defense on the perimeter and be at least okay against bigs inside on offense or defense. I don't intend to be much of a playmaker, but at least enough to make a timely pass or help set up a point guy's play. Basically a 2&3&d swingman.
