Take him to Detroit edition
My lakies ;)
this aint funny
Easiest call of all time thank you:>142201155
Westbrook finna get a ring :)
>>142270006Golden State got better today but ditching two overpaid old guys. They were much better when they played Kuminga and Moody last season, both of whom are only 22 years old. GSW's biggest problem is Wiggins who I believe has a drinking problem or something like that. If they can replace him with someone who can shoot or get to the basket they are a playoff team.
Orlando will try to turn KCP into a seven 3PA shooter when that's not who he is because they have no one else to shoot the ball and it will be ugly
Klay Thompson is still good but he can no longer play in the W's system. Both benefit from him leaving. Paul George would have been a costly mistake for Golden State.
Correct Opinion: You will all like Braun next year and the Nuggets aren't falling off
I wonder what pg and daryl are eating rn while my sixies make their pitch
>Timberpups
>>142270049err
>>142270138Braun is a nice player but he hasn't proven to be KCP consistent on both sides and that's ignoring that you lose Braun coming off the bench which was already a huge problem
So the west is between the Thunder and the Mavs now.
Ladies and gentleman we are here today to witness the Nuggies downfall
>>142270138>and the Nuggets aren't falling offthey already fell off, did you watch the t wolves series?
>>142270138I'm cool with Braun, I'm not cool with whatever gleaguer will be his backup
HOLY FUCK
>>142270203Mavs need some defense. Thunder are the favorite but don't forget about Minnesota.
>>142270105nuggets are interested
>>142270233
>>142270233ngl a KD return to Warriors would be kino
>>142270203If the Kings could be more consistent, they could make some noise. But even if they do upgrade the wings, I think there's still a chance Fox asks for a trade.Also Grizz might play spoiler to somebody.Thunder are like a center and a backup PG away from hitting the Finals.
>>142270138He'll be good, its about everyone else on the bench really and whether or not Malone actually plays StrawtherAs long as Nuggets have Jokic and Murray healthy, they will always be a threat. Anything else is other team fans just praying
>>142270233KD back to the Warriors would actually be a pretty good move
>Clips>Warriors>NugsThese teams are officially cooked this year
>>142270082did they get rid of the plague that is Draymond yet?
>>142270298>west collapsing overnightMy Lakies finna get a qt 4 seed
>>142270298Warriors got better through subtraction today. I like Klay but he was inconsistent because his skill set no longer works in their system. Dubs need Kuminga and Moody playing over 30 minutes. People who don't watch the Warriors don't know how good they are.
>>142270298you forgot>lakers
>Nugshit implodingOH NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYakub won.JaylGOD thread
>>142270298People are overreacting on the NuggetsWarriors and Clips are cooked tho
>>142270217Did you watch that shameful WWE tier rigging? If you watched game 2 and game 6 you wouldnt be posting moronic mutt shit like that.
This whiteboy was so good as a rookie he basically ended Klay's career.
>>142270354Lol, lmao even
>[Wojnaroski] ESPN Sources: Paul George’s agent — Aaron Mintz of CAA — and Clippers president Lawrence Frank had a conversation a short time ago that resulted in no new movement on a deal and an acknowledgment by both that George is unlikely to return to the Clippers>sixers actually believe PG won't be a choke artist faggot to uplift the choking EmbiidFREE MAXEY
>>142270298clearly sliver is grooming the thunders to take over
>>142270308Draymond still plays great. No one holds knocking out Jordan Poole against him (Poole can't even dribble) nor choking out some faggy euro bloke. I think he'll have learned his lesson this season on the suspensions but this is basketball and what matters is that he can fucking play.
>Cloppers only have Kawhi and Harden leftgrim
>>142270354>WWE tier rigging>game 6How the hell did they rig a 60 points loss lmaoooooooooooooooo Lefaggoticuus
>>142270365Nah, he's right
>>142270369HES OURS BACK OFF *raises spork* *hisses at you*
>>142270369He fits the team perfectly tho. We almost beat the Knicks with shitty Tobias. Now we have a legit third option. Team should be a lot better
Nice
>>142270361and Trayce-Jackson Davis was even better of their two rookies last season. People thinking W's are cooked are idiots they've got four legit young starters. Kuminga is 22 years old.
>>142270386>>142270385
>>142270430>Retard has never heard of the magnets
>>142270464meds
>>142270298Hey don't forget my Heat
>>142270298They all lost players that are going to teams on the other conference.How does that cook anyone? It'll probably be the same
>>142270385Watch some basketball, cancerous animal.
>>142270554Jokic 3:4 BAWB
>>142270532Clips were cooked already. Without a healthy Leonard their team didn't work. Clearing salary space to add pieces is a big chance to improve. People gotta stop ignoring these mid-30's guys with injury problems they are not the players they were at 25.
>>142270532getting worse while your competition gets better is usually how you get cooked. OKC and Minny have already gotten better. Dallas is tbd. Memphis is back too
Let's put this next season into perspective:>Bronny James gets dunked on hard>The dunker flexes on him>Gets met in the face by old papa JamesHow many times will this happen? Will anyone swing?

>The Detroit Pistons plan to sign Cade Cunningham to a five-year, $226 million maximum rookie extension,t. Shams
>>142270341No, people are properly reacting to the Nuggets. They had to make moves this year to improve their depth and instead they've lost a starter.
142270585Jokic 34 BAWB
What's this guy doing right now?
>>142270554Just doesn’t make sense, if they were going to rig anything wouldn’t they rig lakers v celtics? Or another big draw?
>>142270591.
>>142270593one of those guys who will put up stats on a consistently bad team picking in the lottery. maybe ends up on a contender as a backup down the line
>>142270591Based as fuck. He could have won a 2nd one with our rapshits but decided to semi-retire and swindle the Cloppers.
>>142270577Bronny will get token minutes
>>142270593I know Cade is a sham, but who is reporting this?
>>142270593
Being the starting point guard to one of the worst teams in NBA history gets you a 9 figure contract
>>142270591Is this the biggest finesse of all time? And he did it in a way that doesn't give him endless hate like Sosho gets. There truly is levels to this quiet quit game.

>>142270577>Bronny James gets dunked on hard>offensive foul>gets flexed on>offensive technical foul anymore questions?
>>142270631>next MJ - AntNegron is history, and the Ant narrative was at its peak. Of course he is not even close to the level and it all broken down, CAntman was meh against the Nuggets and was like a gassed senior against Mavs. >next affirmative action racial quota MVP - SGA And so on... >gaytum winning a ring

CP3 cooked on defense. Mostly just there to be a coach off the bench.
When do you think Chris Paul will retire?
142271061Stop sucking so much dick. Buy a lolipop.
League might actually be fucked desuLob City Wemgoat Edition finna be OP as fuck plus CP finna teach these youngins every rule in the book to exploit. Grooming Wemgoat’s squad into a bunch of dirty thugs is prolly the best thing for him cause the rest of the league gonna be gunning for him in his career
>>142271098he ran the 2nd unit well but his defense was a big liability for the W's
>>142270936CP3 is REALLY going to teach Wemby how to flop now.
spur niggas thinking they won't be bottom feeders again this year
broski never read the actual bible in his life, saw 2 verses on reddit and decided to make it his entire personality. Many such cases!
>>142271144Spurs are a partial retirement
Free agent guard Chris Paul has agreed on a one-year, $11 million-plus deal with the San Antonio Spurs, sources tell ESPN.
>>142270855Clippers would have won it all this year if Kawhi was healthy
>>142271060PG, EG, and Drum. I didn't even realize that Gordon averaged 11 a game shooting 40% last year, if he does that for us he's a steal.
>>142271160His game will have no holes
>Free agent center Jonas Valanciunas has agreed on a three-year, $30 million deal with the Washington Wizards, sources tell ESPN.
>>142271189Dwight Howard was born the same year as Chris Paul and he's still active in Taiwan
Barring a curveball signing by the Pistons, I just can't believe that the 76ers and their cap space pipe dream actually worked out.
>>142271172Nobody thinks they finna win 82 games or somethingIts all about Wembys development at this stage and this is one of the best vets he can possibly get to play with to teach him the game.
>>142271231Sarr sisters how could this happen to us
>will be taught by CP3 to be a better player, potentially making sure he works on his jumper>CP3 will also force his teammates to pass to Wemby every possession
>>142270591The raptors carried him. Fraud.
Sixers need to push their chips for Lauri at this point, its time to go all in
>>142271261CP0 is going to teach them his old fashioned game that never won shit and also how to be a vegetarian. This is not the vet you want.
>>142271261Choke Puke 3 is the worst vet to teach anybody, all he's gonna teach him is how to flop, whine to the refs, and be a massive bitch. And he's gonna do to him what he did to Ayton which is make him completely 1D on offense for post play.
>>142271323I wish, they'll probably pay PG a billion dollars >>142271223PG is going to be another Tobiass
>>142271323I don't think 4 firsts, X seconds, Paul Reed, Ricky Council IV, and the two guys they drafted would be enough.

>>142270326Lakers are still getting swept in 5 by the Nuggets, don't kid yourself
>>142271367We'll throw in a pair of magic underpants and let Ainge lead a prayer circle that should get it over the line
>>14227123110m/year for Valanciunas seems like a steal, no?
>>142271401This year they'll be on the opposite side of the bracket for sure
>>142270936Finna bandwagon the Zpurz
>>142271437About the going rate for a mid tier center
>>142271437It's below mid level. Seems like a great deal for the Wiz.
>>142271437it is but it's also pointless because it's the fucking jizzardscould be a high value trade piece at the deadline though
>>142271328>>142271336Spurs are a basically a bunch of fatherless zoomers. Cheese Pizza will be the best stepdad theyve ever had even if hes not perfect. The dad that stepped up….
>>142271231>Wiz steal valanciunas from the lakerskek, though I dont know really know why the Wizards would do this. I guess it helps take some pressure off Sarr to have another good center on the roster. Can bring him along more slowly and dont have to demand to much from him at the beginning
Does Pat Riley really think Tyler Herro being healthy (which he never is) will keep the Heat competitive with literally every east team getting better?
Is Chris Paul the best NBA player to never win a title?
>>142271323The Jazz are not trading Lauri. People need to get over it
>>142271529>Wiz steal valanciunas from the lakershead canon, all signs point to lakers wanting to use their mle on klay
>>142270369I'm not impressed at all with anything Paul George has done since he got to LA but why get stingy with him and then shovel more money at Kawhi? George is hit and miss but Kawhi's the one tapping out of the playoffs literally every fucking year
>>142271558I just say that because he was listed as an option that Lebron would be willing to take less money if the Lakers could sign
>>142271548Malone, Barkley, Baylor, Iverson, CP3 probably among the topmost
>>142271516This is exactly why Child Predator III is the worst. He'll be the only influence on them and teach them how to underachieve.
DO SOMETHING MASAI YOU FUCKING MORON. PICK UP THE PHONE NOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
>>142271516topkek
>>142271548That would be a tie between John Stockton and Karl Malone
getting wemby a veteran pg. great move by the spurs
>>142271552they will, but not for scraps.
This however cements that Cheese Pizza 3 will never win a ring and for that I am eternally grateful.
>>142271548no but he's up there.
>>142270591The first contract they gave him was dubious but at least you could kinda justify it. Extending him on essentially the same terms after him letting them down every fucking year like clockwork is 100% on Ballmer just being a dickless wonder. You know what he's all about now and you STILL give him a max deal? Lol. I honestly wonder if he even plays the last year or two or just takes it to another level and sits out multiple seasons at $60 mil per before retiring. Either way, Ballmer has no one to blame but himself. Enjoy losing in the first round in your new stadium you stupid bald faggot
>>142270886Paul Reed is gone. We signed drummond
>>142271552Sorry Jazz bro Ainge can't resist the draw of a full tank for cooper flagg
What if PG13 went to the spurs with CP3 and webm?
>>142271548u got t-mac and nash too
>>142271884The only two teams with cap space to sign PG to a four year max are philly and detroit
>>142271548He's top 3 for me. Nash, Barkley, CP3. An underrated one is Harden, but everyone just hates him so he'll never properly be in that discussion.
Russell Westbrook is also one of the best to never win a ring
>>142271401the nuggets are absolute frauds
>>142272011Bazinga!
>>142270936>be the spurs>can't get rid of your senile old coach because he's the one who would have to decide to fire himself>go for the multi-year tankjob during one of the worst draft years of all time so Wembenyama's completely wasted rookie season gets you a guard who can't shoot (27% from 3, lol)>Big free agent splash is Chris Fucking Paul, who is both old and cursed and was just released by a team that finished in 10th placeHow long until Wemby asks for a trade
It's over for my team.
>>142270006I don't understand James Harden wasn't athletic and nobody mentions it but when it's *a white guy* he's praised. Is it because the sport is dominated by blacks and people long for a great white hope or am I spending too much time on this site ?repost
>>1422720572nd to last year of his first extension
>>142272028Make the last panel say "this is where my grave is, I want to die in Detroit. "
Reminder that the sixers own clippers 1st round picks in '28 (unprotected) and '29 (top 3 protected swap) and signing PG away from the clippers has the added benefit of making those picks all the more valuable
Wemby finna get scoring title, MVP and DPOTY NOW
>>142271261>Okay Victor, here's the secret to my success>act like a cunt>flop all the time>literally all the time>and remember to get hurt every year so your team knows they can't depend on you>this is how I won my zero (0) rings

>>142272088>James Harden wasn't athleticwhy do you think that
2025 will be the first season of Embiid's career that he won't be on the same team with either Jahlil Okafor or Tobias Harris
>>142272057I was thinking the same thing pop should have retired after the kawhi meltdown
>>142272276What is this guy talking about?
>>142272295it's best you don't know, deep state stuff
>>142272261For most of his career he wasn't athletic and he wasn't the only player who wasn't athletic and played at a high level.
>>142271600>RJ up for extension after his 4/107 contract> Sct Brn will make 220 mil for 5 years>Quickley will make 175 for 5 yearsKWAB
The Lakers have so many guards already, I don't think signing another guard in Klay is even viable.

>>142272358they're still looking to flip Rui Hachimura, Gabe Vincent and maybe DLo
>>142271548Chris Paul only made the Finals once ever in his entire career and you're putting him above all time assists and steals leader John Stockton???
>>142272227Oh one more very important thing victor: you should demand absurd amounts of money, especially as you get older and more injury prone. You really want to just completely cripple your team financially. Then, once the team is in complete ruins bail and try to win a cheap ring somewhere else. But not on an actually good team. Go to one where everyone is as washed as you.
>>142272294He's the Joe Biden of the NBA
>>142272490Stockton played in a plumber era and made the finals only one more time than Chris Paul.
The Nuggs now as deep as the Mavs (ie. no depth). At least Lively catches lobs and gets blocks, Aaron Gordon is just Blake Griffin. They will really miss KCP's constant pressure on the passing lanes.
>>142272547They have the Latina killer Christian Brown.
Why would Child Porn 3 sign with the Spurce? Doesn't he realize he's guaranteed to retire with lolnorings?
>>142271888>t-mac
>>142272530Pop has already won something while Biden was a stoogie
>>142272546If it's plumberball era how come no one has broken Stockton's records 20 years later??? Chris Paul is not going to record 4,000 more assists before he retires.
>>142272568I think at this point he's accepted the fact no actual contender wants him even as a deep bench guy so he's gonna end his career with grace by building up goodwill with a young team. He's have "le mentor" vibes for the remainder of his career and get the media to build a fake humble legacy for yim.
>>142272634>If it's plumberball era how come no one has broken Stockton's records 20 years later???Because the competition is harder, idiot.
>>142272681So you just proved Stockton is better than Chris Paul. Thanks!
>>142272546plumbers > memechuckersalso Stockton played like 99% of all possible games throughout his career despite playing in the rougher, more physical era. If you injected Chris Pussy 3 with the fucking Captain America super serum he still wouldn't be that durable
>>142272547Yeah the Nuggies window is officially closed. Jokic's Nuggets are completely impotent just like Giannis' Bucks.
>>142272681You can't have one single person distributing the ball every play in current year. The game has changed.
I really like basketball, because it is the gayest sport. During June, which is Pride Month, I proudly wear my jersey collection. It's a whole rainbow of GOATs. It really helps people know that not only am I up for ass sex, but rough bloody ass sex, when I wear a red jersey, like a Bulls one (I have a LaVine jersey just for this) Sometimes, I just want to smoke meth and get jerked off - that's when I go for one of my white away jerseys. I honestly do not know how the game is played, but I do know that being a FAN of this stupid game gets me a lot of dick and buttholes - and that's how I like it! If I don't reek of poop 24/7 then I haven't been watching enough basketball.

I'm 37 and about 5'10". If I work really hard, will I ever be able to dunk?
>nuggets losing depthMy Spurs have a chance to do the funniest thing
>>142273111Sign Nikola's horse
>>142273081He is but to be fair, he was expected to be the #2 option on the warriors. When he signs with whatever team he ends up on, he most likely will be option 3 or 4 so it doesnt matter if he has one of those 2 for 9 games and can afford to be a no show once every couple games and still get wins.
Reminder that Wemby caused the nuggies downfall by beating them in game 81 and dropping them to the 2 seed which caused them to face the TWolves in round 2
>>142273320Maxey wouldn't need to chuck as much as he did last season which I think would be better for him.
>>142273420WembGOD is Jokic's dad
>>142273320>>142273137He would be great as a 4th option for usMaxey - Klay - PG - Marcus Morris (vet min) - BiidI can see the vision

>>142273156?>thing was easier to do back then cause plumber!!!!!!!!>w-well they can't do it now because it's too hard!So Chris Paul literally does not have the skill level to surpass Stockton in a harder era of basketball. That is exactly what is being conveyed by that post. Ergo, he lost the argument.
>>142273515Today's coaches aren't retarded. If you run the same play 100 times a game they'll figure out how to counter it by like the 5th time.
>>142273595So how does Haliburton average double digit assists nearly every game then?
Chances the Hawks climb out the bottom of the East?
>>1422737130 since they were never at the bottom
Teams better than the Heat next season in the East:>Celtics>Knicks>76ers>Pacers>Bucks>Magic>Cavs>HawksDamn
>Clippers trade their entire future for PG and Kawhi cuz “muh LA natives”>all they have left is a double amputee Kawhi, James Harden and nothing to show for it. I hate this fucking franchise.Also Paul George is a weakminded faggot, wherever he goes, they will only get better on paper
>>142273081Klay isn't washed but he's a lot cheaper than PG
>>142273713They'll still be a 9 or 10 seed let's be honestWithout Dejounte they'll need at least 1 year to develop their new roster. So 2025 to 2027 when Trae's contract is up is their window.
>>142273464https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBKZbz-YH2Ait was a fantastic game
>>142273320Klay's problem is his current skillset no longer works in the W's scheme. i think he'll have a good couple years for whomever signs him with the right role in mind. W's were a mess most of this year and Klay wasn't the reason.
>[Wojnarowski] Free agent C Mason Plumlee has agreed on a one-year deal with the Phoenix Suns, sources tell ESPN.SUNS GET THEIR MAN
>>142273844Im not worried about PG on a four year, we probably punt that last year anyway and retool with Maxey or something idk
>>142272895>MEMECHUCKERONI IS BAAAAAAD!!!!

>>142273978The news we've all been waiting for
>>142273978>Clippers losing everyoneThis team is fucked. Kawhi either steps up (which he wont) or its game over, thats it.
>>142273816
>>142270964why do you devote so much energy to the nba instead of the nhl or something? what do you call murray, mpj, ag if not mutts?
>>142274030Who shoulders the majority of the blame? Playoff P? Kawhi the gimp? Doc and Ty Lue? Balmer?
>>142273515Chris Paul is probably better than John Stockton
>>142274030Kawhi won more playoff series’ in one season with the Raptors (4) than he did in 5 seasons with LA (3)
should I order some beers for the F5ing?
>>142274030heh
>>142274214Yea get a nice hazy juicy IPA. And some wings
>>142273987it's an overpay but who cares if it doesn't block your shit. for the 6ers they need a player RIGHT NOW and once Embiid leaves/ages out it's over for a while anyway. Not a bad move for Philly unlike say the Warriors who would be fucking idiots to add PG on a 4 year right now
>>142274081
>>142273816They made out of the 2nd round at least. A first in clipper history kek.
I miss Kobe so much, when im on the court or im playing defense all I can think of is Kobe. Fucking god damn it his voice is needed so desperately right now. Imagine Kobe coaching the Lakers. That team would be scary as fuck. He would probably go one on one with everyone in practice at age 50 just to fuck with them. #2 all time may his soul rest in peace
>>142272568He signed a 1 year deal. His value is rock bottom and he's hoping by elevating the Spurs, a contender will sign him next season for 1 last run.
>>142274188Yeah maybe in the flopping category
>>142274285Tatum go enjoy the offseason bro what are you doing here

>>142274310Paul is just old and can't score for shit any longer. This makes everyone forget that he used to be an extremely legit shooter/scorer.
>>142274365he hasnt done anything the pistons just want to reach the salary floor so they dont get penalized
>>142274358Shit, so DJJ is gone. I'll always remember you Flight 55.

>>142274358....who?
>>142274358all these homeless looking nba dudes is a problem. You can't win with players like that. It's negative aura and drags the team down
>>142274404banner check
>>142274382Cade is pretty legit I've been impressed watching him play. They also have Ausar Thompson who looks like an all-star in the making. Pistons might get good fast.
>>142274365>get taken #1 >the only good player on the team unless you also rate durenI understand you have no reason to watch Pistons games but Cade is good enough to be the third best player on a championship team right now.
>>142273484Maybe
>>142274365If he leaves literally nobody will buy tickets to see that fucking g league team it's just to save face at this point from playing in a library
>>142274030Kawhi got carried by an already good Raptors team and completely choked in the bubble, which no one talls about for some reason. He's a fraud.
>>142274266I have a great memory of being at a bar watching Terrance Mann put the finishing touches on the series against Donovan Mitchell's sorry ass 1st seeded Jazz
Clippers have plenty of cap space and no one worth signing kekIf they sign Demar, when Kawhi is inevitably injured the fans can just squint and pretend its him on the court lol
>>142274487Raps were good and Leonard showed up but they lose that Finals no doubt if both Durant and Klay don't go down
>>142274358I liked naji, I wanted him on my sixers
>tfw I shit on cp3 all the time and now I have to defend him because he's on my spurms
I don't like Lebron that much, but the fact he's maintained his high level of play for so long has deluded a fuckton of NBA fans and players that other aging superstars can still put up the numbers they used to be able to.
>>142274538>high level of playEmpty stats accrued in garbage time mean nothing. Neither does the bubble ring.
>>142274538good call. anyone over 34 is basically finished except for the physical freaks like Lebron, Curry, etc. and even they have to adjust their game. Dudes with injury problems getting four years at that age is idiotic. I think two-years for Harden is too much and that second year will be a waste.
>>142274450if a tree falls in a forest and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound?absolutely nobody saw or gave a fuck about the inceltics, other than mocking gaytum for being a corny bitch
>>142274577Literally crying
>>142274453>>142274462Ausar is great at everything except shooting. It's like a young iggy. A shame that the pistons might literally be the worst team possible for him and he had to deal with Monty's bullshit last season
Spurs are about the be the most fun 11th seed ever
Based Celties makin em seethe
>>142274602Firing Monty was a big clue that the team had no coach at all last season. Now they have a good coach. I think the Pistons will surprise. Any team with some legit young talent and no oldheads weighing down the payroll will come up quick in the NBA now. Youth is king with the pace and rules geared toward offense.
>>142274358DJJ getting paid
>>142274633
>>142274648not sure if Bickerstaff is "good" but he's shown a bit more flexibility than Monty at least
>>142274388>Mavs used a significant chunk of their MLE to sign Naji Marshall, filling need for perimeter defender. >Derrick Jones Jr.’s decision to switch agents this week complicated hopes of re-signing him due to NBPA guideline of 15-day wait to change representation. >Mavs are pursuing sign-and-trade routes for Klay Thompson.
>>142272413>>142274584kys
>>142274751>people dont care about the Celtics Accurate
>>142274376No one forgot. He's just not that guy anymore and only the Clippers pay players for what they used to be it seems. His issue right now is that contenders don't even want him as their backup PG. This isn't the first time he was in this position. People thought he was washed when he was traded to OKC and then he had a great run with them. He's betting he can do something similar for the Spurs and show he's still valuable in a smaller role and then move on to a real contender as their backup PG. I think he has 2 years left in the league before retirement.
>>142274751Arianna Grace is my wife

>Marc Stein@TheSteinLine·54sSources say Dallas remains focused on securing a commitment from Klay Thompson and completing a sign-and-trade that lands Thompson into its looming Tim Hardaway Jr. trade exception.

>>142274913he gay. u gay.
>>142274867Olympics would make him look better since the rules are closer to college rules and favor big men more. While the summer league is elevated pickup tier and doesn't really prepare players for anything. I'd go with the Olympics for the orgy. But maybe staying home and training stateside would provide more stability in his training regimen.

>>142274940summer league still does the p&r spam and spacing stuff so it's more useful than the olympics
>>142274994make money
>>142274994making short sighted decisions based out of insecurities because he didnt make the NBA Top 75 list.instead of finishing his career gracefully with the same team, he's tanking all the legacy surrounding him and is now just going to be seen as another guy
>>142274994Probably having Pippen-thoughts, where he wants to get out of Steph's shadow and get a ring to show he wasn't just Robin.
>>142274876This is definitely good advice, what I typically do is heat up some oil, maybe a tablespoon, add in some garlic and heat it in the oil until it turns brown and fragrant, cook the noodles for maybe 3-4 minutes, save a few cups of the pasta water, wait for the oil to cool, mix the oil and water and then add the partially cooked noodles to the saucepan with the oil/water mixture and cook them to completeness, but this time ill add the sauce too. Sauce is as follows:>campari tomatoes>yellow onion>ground beef>salt>fresh basilThe tomatoes are still breaking down in the meat/onion mixture right now so ive got maybe 15 minutes before im done here. Ill mix in the sauce once the pasta water has been reduced to basically nothing, in the past I was just putting the sauce on the noodles toward the end of the second noodle cooking step. Fuckin love pasta
>>142274161Ballmer. Kawhi's contract run seemingly went about as well as it possibly could if you just look at the results for Toronto but there were so, so many red flags>had to load manage the entire season despite playing for a new deal and limped through the finals, confirming that his legs were already more or less perma-fucked>Toronto won 57 games the year before he got there. He was the final piece but that team was competitive before he got there and wasn't dependent on him, hence being able to give him all those days off>basically threw the Spurs org under the bus because they actually asked him to, you know, try to actually play most of the time and described them in a way that was completely contrary to their reputation which seemed fishy enough at the time and we now know was 100% self-serving bullshit>had pretty much ZERO interest in returning to Toronto which is kind of weird since they just won a title and everyone was washing his balls there. So he just turned his back on two franchises he'd won titles with in two years for...reasons. Which apparently had nothing to do with basketball.>demanded other roster moves be made before he would agree to sign so he was already dictating terms to the front office before he even got there>conducted all his business through Uncle DennisI mean, I know Ballmer was desperate to make a splash but that's an extensive list of reasons to be wary. And he basically put himself at the mercy of that guy who turned out to be exactly what he appeared to be: a ruthless mercenary who didn't really give a fuck one way or another and just wanted to get paid and live in LA even if it meant leaving a defending champ for a historically shit team. And now Kawhi has his own private medical team who decides when or if he'll play, doesn't always keep in touch with the team, ends every year on the bench, is too expensive and broken to be traded and owed too much to be released. Caveat emptor
>>142275030He isn't even robin anymore, he will be 3rd option at best on any team with a chance at winning shit
>>142274994Get paid
>>142275000In theory, but in reality the games are disorganized messes where guards chuck to their heart's content trying to make a team. Edey will learn nothing there. In the Olympics, he'd be surrounded by high level talent and coaching and eased into the NBA style since international is like halfway between NBA and college rules. It seems like most NBA players get a buff to their games after being in that kind of environment and come back to the league better.
Spurs really paired this demon with Wemby. They're making the conference finals at least.
>>142275030I don't know about that if the Lakers are on his short list. I think he just feels disrespected he didn't get the offer he wanted
>>142275092Where wemby will tastes his first choke and learn from that experience.
>>142275034Don't forget the Italian water
>>142274994Klay getting his check and wants to prove he can still shoot. The W's scheme wasn't geared toward him any longer. Smart move to leave and good for GSW, too. Anyone who says otherwise is a sentimental homo.
>>142275084Usually players that make it on a Olympic team can actually provide value. Then they get put up against the best of the best in practice and see what exactly it takes to get better. ANT and Haliburton should get even better next season
>>142275102ESPN said he was looking to stay in the same conference so he can fuck the Warriors. Probably not true, but if it is, I respect the pettiness.

>>142275148Yeah he's probably the 12th guy if he even makes the team. This might just be a face saving move to make sure he doesn't get cut by canada? I still think he'd get more IF he made the team, even as a 12th man than anything he'd get from summer league as a big man.

Why did cp3 join the spurs if he wants to win a ring or is it about getting another bag? Wemby is good but he isnt there yet. Hes 39 years old how few years does he have left? 3 at most?
>Angel Reese gets another double double>the double double
>>142275954CP3 accepted his fate. He figured instead of chasing a ring and never winning for a vet minimum, he could get a bag with the Spurs and cement his legacy as someone who mentored the potential GOAT. This move isn't meant to win-now for the spurs. It's obvious the Spurs are still developing. But it looks like instead of being a 22 win team, they want to progress and be more like a 32 win team next season. Good enough to show progress, bad enough to still have a chance at the loaded 2025 lottery
>>142275872LMAO!
>>142272547>Aaron Gordon is just Blake Griffina hall of famer?
Spurs are an easy play in now
Living in Michigan isn’t so bad. It’s certainly better than some other places like Indiana or Cleveland or even Utah/Sacramento. Shows how shittily ran the Pistons organization is. And how bad the Democrat government fucked up the state economy. No rich person wants to pay higher taxes with less to show for it
>>142276023Spurs weren't even as bad as their record showed last year. Their first 30 games they were blatantly tanking. Wouldn't say the spurs are a play in team though. More like 30-35 wins
>>142276023>easyas long as you don’t tank you have a shot at the playin
>>142275807As a Spurs fan I'd be really happy with that
>>142275985Is 2025 a loaded draft?
>>142276037If they want to keep Wemby happy they'll need to win
>>142275954he is now the old master that must die for the pupil to advance. Sad but it's better this way
>>142276055There's like 5 prospects right now that would be far and away the number 1 pick in this draft. The 2025 draft literally has a James Harden clone in it
