My estimation of the Luka deal was that he did it mainly just so he could do a big deal and justify his existence. Dudes who achieve a high level of responsibility with earning it or being qualified for it do that kind of thing all the time because they're overwrought with insecurity. Imagine having a team fresh off a finals appearance and not just saying "steady as she goes"

Cuban wasn't even that good if he was the one who was mostly in charge of roster building in the Dirk era. He just swapped players continuously until it accidentally worked and Dirk went god mode on the league for a final run. Dallas just needs to find an actual adult who knows his shit.

We could have put Sochan on Curry but nooooo, Mitche gotta let'm drop a 40 bomb on us. Why play two centers against a small ball lineup? Will Fox ever play up to his contract? Will we be able to go a full game without one or more players turning the ball over a thrembillion times? At least it wasn't Castle this time.

It's an easy take to clown on, but players like him, Alex Caruso, prime Danny Green and KCP, truly are the most important players on a roster after your franchise player, and sometimes are more valuable if your franchise player isn't a top 5 guy.

It's a clown take because it's blatantly untrue. People will suck a guy like Jrue's dick but ignore Middleton hitting every big and clutch shot for his entire tenure and ignore how said Jrue types can't step into that role when needed. You do need those high tier role players to round out the team but the 1-2 punch is way more important. Yeah Caruso is great but he's a lot less great without a Bron/AD or SGA/JDub doing the heavy lifting

this theory literally doesn't make any sense and I don't know why people keep pushing it. Superstars are underpaid and their contracts are a function of revenue anyway. That means whatever he's getting paid the owners are making far more off of him especially due to the artificial cap of their salaries. These guys are entire economies for their cities. Guys like Luka, Giannis, Lebron, Curry, Jokic, etc. bring in so much money that they're nba contracts are laughable

Funny thing is >advanced stats still thought CP0 was bretty gud last season for the Spurs. His game has steadily been declining each season but hadn't hit the cliff that happens to players when they go full washed overnight. His FG% was low but he was taking more 3s, still getting to the line (so True Shooting % was still up), Assist/TO ratio still good, etc. and it added up to a good contributor. This season the wheels absolutely have fallen off. Clippers got all the uncs right when their game cratered and age caught up to them. The basketball gods hate this team.

lol pacers might be the worst team in the league. Its 5 minutes into the 4th and the suns have held them to...3 points.

Go look at the suns blowout today vs the Pacers and then look at Golden States blowout vs a pacers with not even Siakam or Tj McConnell or Nemsmith (suns were beating the pacers even with nemsmith in) and tell me if you can point out the difference.
https://www.basketball-reference.com/boxscores/202511090GSW.html
No need, i can tell you the difference, everybody on the warriors not named Jimmy Butler, Free Throw Merchant Will Richards, and Al Horford, shot below 45% and the highest scorer (Himmy But) was 21 points.

Are the Warriors a worse team than a Mark Williamsless and Jalen Greenless Suns team? (Reminder that they lost to a pacers team WITH a healthy Siakam and Nesmith WITH currgoat playing, everybody has somehow forgotten that, that game is the Pacers' literal only win btw)

They traded an All-Star point guard for Lavine. Now Schroder runs points, Lavine and Derozan chuck them out of games and Sabonis just stands around hoping someone passes him the ball. They got Charlottes first round pick in the next draft for Fox so they should be good for a rebuild.

Sorry for being hard on you then. I was being more retarded and "autistic" realistically the suns arent top 4. I just really enjoy the idea of a dark horse underdog like the Pacers and the possibility of actually being here to watch it. Plus I genuinely like the suns ball movement, in a league where so many players just hot potato the ball around the perimeter because players dont know how to move around to create space, its refreshing to see a team that can atleast do it decently. Hopefully they really are this years Pacers would be cool, especially with how set in stone everybody is treating this season as with OKC and Denver, and how boring both those teams having any success sounds.

>>151948294
Its all good man,

>realistically the suns arent top 4

I mean yea, the West is a bit weaker now, the old guard of Bron, Curry, Butler, are totally aged out now, the Suns benefited from the KD trade so much because they got rid of Beal who never even cared about basketball at all post Wizards days

and got solid athletic slashers, and idk how the fuck did they get Mark Williams and Moloch, if Moloch blossoms, which takes time then he can be a blacker Giannis,

In terms of who repeats, it feels like OKC is more stronger because Shai has taken a leap and instead of middys his 3 point shot is more high arching like Curry, I noticed Holmgren is a bit more solid and a 3 point threat but 40 million is still insane,

Its looking far too good for OKC if the Clippers pick goes where they want it to go, and if so then its probably Pacers at #1, and the Nets or Celtics at #2 and then if Clippers keep losing and miss the playoffs then the pick is 3 and they likely get Daryn Peterson is solve their 3 point shooting,

I said they were fraudulent from the start, you guys just didnt listen to my stat elaboration. They were winning off of defense but that defense was based on variance. Teams were shooting 30% from 3 against them when they were undefeated. And defense obviously isnt a factor when an opponent is open, so opponents were just unlucky against the bulls, combined with the bulls having an easy early schedule until the knicks (which they lost to immediately after they beat them in a close game they shouldnt have won)

I don’t see how Lakers/Luka ever catches up to Jokic or Shai. Shai is causally dropping 30 with great defense and winning basketball and Jokic puts up video game numbers.

Nuggets are likelier to have a down year in the future but by the time the Lakers put an elite team around Luka the Thunder may still be around, spurs, rockets, any other teams, etc.

Robinson would, if anything be more effective in the present era than he was in the 90's or Giannis is today.

Murray is the type of player where you can tell he's gonna play good just by watching how he moves with the ball.

Jamal is so erratic that its readily apparent he is a drug addict of some sort. The nights he is on he has just enough drugs in his system to keep withdrawals at bay, but not enough to screw up his performance and the rest of the time he is either crippled by withdrawals or too high on drugs to perform at a NBA level.
Thats what explains his Jekyll & Hyde nature

Silver fucked up the All-Star system so badly that the term All-Star lost all it's meaning. Used to mean you were one of the top guys in your conference, but now it'll mean "we were desperate to find a sub for the foreigner team so we grabbed Shitmal."
>>
>>151953603
They both sucked at moneyball, but I'm not sure Booth was dumber than the average fan which is the degree of retardation the Luka trade demands.
>>
>>151953699
Booth wanted to do a mini rebuild with a championship ready team just to help the owner save money

no but he wanted to promote bum players and even signed murray to a long term shitty contract. Of course the clippers gm and nico are dumber but what booth did also was nothing short of retarded and criminal
>>
>>151953755
I agree he sucked but he's a pretty unremarkable bad GM in my book. It's not like he fucked the franchise for years to come like Nico and Billy King did.
>>
>>151953682
>>151953652
if anything having only 1 international team will be what keeps him out and make American bums all stars. Only 8 international all stars isn't enough. After Joker, Wemby, Giannis, Shai, Luka, and Markkanen, there's only two spot left for Sengun, Siakam, Murray, Giddey. And you know the commissioner is picking Deni Avdija as the last all star if it's up to him.
>>
>>151953714
If the owner wants to shed salary and prioritize profits then all you can do is try to adjust. It's the leagues fault for creating these tax aprons that penalize championship teams. OKC will have to blow it up after next season in order stay under the second apron.
>>
>>151953866
idk, if murray decides to stink it up in the playoffs against elite defensive teams lik eher normally does, the re-signing of him looks retarded. He was always an injury proned inconsistent player

except that's not what he did. He deliberately kept vets off the roster because Malone would play them over his bum picks. Year 1 after the title it was reggie jackson and justin holiday outplaying those dudes, even though they weren't all that good especially in the playoffs. so he got rid of them (3 2nds to move reggie lol). Then last year he almost succeeded but Jokic requested westbrook and you can't just say no to him. That hilariously ended up being the final straw. Now those same bum picks are relagated to garbage time and even then they still manage to blow leads. What Booth tried to do was objectively fucking stupid and cost the nugs at least 1 title

It could still fail but he's nowhere near the level of franchise wrecker that Billy and Nico were on the Nets and Mavs respectively.
>>
>>151953296
>Imagine if Jokic had an All-Star caliber teammate as his second option
"All-star caliber" players like ANT, JJJ, and Ja performed even worse than Murray against the Thunder. You retards really need to stop pretending that All-stars mean anything. Also, nearly every all-star caliber guard is getting injured these days, aside from SGA, so I really don't know who you'd want to replace him with.
>and averaged 5 points when he played for his country in the Olympics aka without Jokic
Yeah, just ignore how he missed over half the games because of nugshit contract disputes and was never able to build chemistry or get in a rhythm with his team.

Nico Harrison could have just kept a cushy job riding the luka coattails to a losing finals run every year, but he saw the limitations and instead of settling for 2nd (still better than 28 other teams) he went all-in, risking his job, professional reputation and private life for a chance to be great

Hero.

>>151954173
Because playing with Lebron gets you a ton of financial opportunities you never would've had otherwise that comes with being the most popular player in the league. Not to mention plenty of guys like Wade and Carmelo were already friends with before teams. It takes a lot to reduce your role like Kevin Love or Bosh did to make things work, and you're probably going to be financially penalized for doing so in the future.
>>
>>151954173
By forcing GM's to trade players and team hopping. Jokic being a nonchalant Euro that only cares about horse racing is his own problem. Who would you even trade Murray and Braun for?
>>
have a feeling that my pacers are going to get cameron boozer
>>
>>151954115
Fair, but I don't think there are realistically that many guys who present an obvious upgrade over that don't have their own issues. I suppose they could have Maybe DeAaron Fox would fit better with Jokic but he wasn't going to be playable last year; Curry, Harden, Lillard, and Irving are all old; only a madman would trade Brunsen, Halliburton, Garland, Doncic, Giddey, or Cunningham. Trae Young the same player but maybe more consistent? You want to try to get Lamello Ball or Ja?

you lack the ability to understand that trading luka goed beyond the basketball as he was a massive source of happiness for dallas fans and they watched him grow and do incredible things for them since they drafted him and invested so many seasons into him and to see him improve and finally reach a finals and hes barely reaching his prime so could easily win a finals in the future and THEN HE GETS TRADED LOL absolutely insane Nico is a piece of shit

maybe youre right. i'm just not a total believer in the heliocentric luka experience beating the thunder or nuggets any time in the future. i think he's going to get worse over the years rather than get better

People tend to overrate Lavine. The truth is that he's been in the league for 11 years and he has only been to the playoffs once. Even then that was a first round exit. Paying $48 million a season for a third option that doesn't have a track record of winning is ridiculous.

damn i literally avoided this video all day, because as much as i respect thinking basketaball, in my experience hes a modern day basketball dicksucker and makes it seem more generally complicated than it is, when I see players like Kuminga getting away with being one of the dumbest players I have ever seen, who cant even dribble the basketball, or post up, but wants to be a star.

And then I finally give in and watch this video...and he almost perfectly exemplifies my problem and complaint with "traveling" in this sport.

When I complained about this some weaks ago, using a travel called on Kuminga as an example of a call that doesnt make sense per the states rules, I had retards who have zero fucking emergent thought telling me "DA RULES SAID SO DA RULES SAID SO" because theyre the equivalent of AI that doesnt actually experience or interface with the real world, they operate on a preconceived script of rules, and reactions that make it impossible for them to entertain certain unintuitive or unobvious nuances.

Genuinely mad respect to thinking basketball, I didnt expect this kind of video from him, and it makes me much more willing to listen to his perspective that modern basketball is much more complex (I dont even disagree really its just about degrees to me) and should be appreciated.

Unfortunately there are two sides to that "complexity". The "freedom" to do what is outlined in the video, and the freedom for certain defenses to not be made illegal, and essentially simplify defense.

The ADisney out of shape stuff might seem like it was out of left field or just to bully Nico some more, but the rumbling of it has legit been there over the years on the Lakers. It was mostly just glossed over because he's so lanky that it is hard to tell when he gains or loses weight. But every training camp there would be some kind of spin when it came to AD's weight. "Oh he's bulked up a bit to handle contact better" and shit like that. Those paying attention were like "huh isn't he trying to be a PF not a Center?" "How can you gain muscle that fast?" etc. And then games would start and it wouldn't really be a story anymore, probably buried by LA writers turning the focus to other things. Moral of the story is don't trust any player wearing a tshirt under their jersey you know they are hiding some shit that is not fashion.
