why did everyone turn on him?
>>152759374he was right
>>152759374Because he plays for LA. LA media is 20x harsh and you have a spotlight on you

>>152759440What are the hawks going to do with him moving forward?
respect him
>>152759459Why he biting his lip like that
>>152759330I’m using this thread soley because the anti petefag earlyfagged like petefag so he’s no different than him. The OP also earlyfagged but I’m picking the lesser of two evils.
>>152759456trade him for AD
>>152759459Why didn’t he wanna go to Philly? Why’d he pick Utah over them?
>>152759482no trae is getting traded for AD. Cooper/Trae gonna feed families
Trae isn’t even elite anymore. This isn’t 2021.
>>152759495He didn't pick Utah. He wanted Washington but Utah chose him anyways
I am petefag
>>152759459I don't wanna be mean but why would you draft a guy with FAS at 3.
>>152759495He didn’t. Ainge said fuck you, you’re getting on this plane to salt lake and there’s nothing he could have done about it
>>152759495Utah picked him. personally I wouldn't mind playing for the Jazz.
spurs gotta get their shit together.
>>152759520AVRA

i don't remember the last nba game i watched without a clock malfunction
Edwards leaving the game with almost an entire quarter remaining was very, very disrespectful to the game and to his team. He should be ashamed. I'd suspend him until the all-star break.

>>152760242how
Jamal Murray>3/10like I said 30% shooting from jamal whenever he can't bum off jokic
I mean at this point it's just hilariousDenver's top 8 guys will all be injured
>wemby limpingwemby just got the jokic 4 weeks
>>152759859Didn't ask and this is not NBA related. Expect a warning or 3 day ban.
God hates Nuggers
This retard is obviously doing something wrong with his coaching for his entire starter squad and now bench squad to be seriously injured. Also Holmes is really good and should have been getting minutes from the beginning of the season if the coach wasn't retarded.
How come the nuggets keep playing Nnaji when they have Holmes?
RIP wemby
>>152760310big zest with the kill
Now Wemby just went to the locker roomThe modern nba just not safe for bigsPersonally I blame the 14 seconds clock for offensive rebounds
>>152760321$500k in his bank account later tonight
We're fucking losing?
>>152760310playoff wembust is back lol
>>152760207silver really has balls rigging games again after the fbi investigations and arrests
>>152760304The idea was that Holmes would be left in the g-league to develop until sometime in the new year and then they'd put him in the rotation. The injuries have forced them to accelerate the timeline
>>152760310KWABAB (Kek what a brittle ass bitch)
she is not upset about wemby.
Actually hilarious that the rookie that Denver really tried hard to draft wasn't allowed to play until Denver had 4 injured startersWhat do these retards even do if they're paid millions to analyze
>>152759374>mfw he has to drag LeBum's 50+ mil a year ass aroundHe should get MVP for such a herculean task but the Klutch Media won't allow it
>>152759892Julius Randle you sucksNah just kidding I'm not a Knicks fans, you're alright
>>152760373>g league>developHas this ever worked? Maybe as a confidence booster at best
>>152760386they probably wanted to hide him so they could trade nnaji
If Jokic had Curry's luck he'd retire with 5 ringsHe'll finish with 1
Imagine being Spencer Jones/Holmes and permanently banished to the G league/bench then suddenly you're told you're starting now
>>152760413He needed generational luck to even get 1. He doesn't deserve any
>>152759374They watched him play
don't pull that thang out unless you plan to bang
>>152760426>Generational luckHe lost 2 prime years with Jamal's ACL
Spencer Jones looks like an evil MPJ
>JV questionable to returnIt's so over
>>152760426>playing good basketball with a full roster that has a complete bench is generational luck>in b4 they played an eigth seedyeah an eigth seed that beat all the higher seeds including the first seed to get to the finals
Murray mid game and val out, this might be the most rigged game ive seen in a while lol
>julian champagnie now holds the spurs single game 3pt record
>they benched jalen pickett so he wouldn't outscore jamal murray
>>152760478>play JV more than 20 minutes ONCE>calf explodesHow did he think he was going to play starters minutes in europe?
>>152760464and then got to play 3 play-in team with an 8th seed in the finals during his championship run. Hell, he'd have 2 rings right now if he didn't choke in the bubble.>>152760491Keep coping. You needed Heero and Jimmy getting hurt to even beat that 8th seed.
>>152760464He got to play a fucking 8th seed led by Jimmy Butler, Duncan Robinson, and Cam Martin, and Bam in the FINALS
At least I'm not a Nuggets fan... LeDiddy might be making me hate basketball right now but at least he'll be gone next season. And the Lakers will find eventually find some good players for LuGOD. Especially under Dodgers leadership.
>>152760569How was Jimmy injured? and Herro was out from game 1 of the playoffs. Why did they beat all those teams to get to the finals then.
>>152760464Remember, you don't argue with these people for a reason
>>152760573why didn't the 8th seed lose any series?
how do you stop him?
>>152760569>>152760573Curry has 2 super team rings, 1 ring by beating a Cavs team without 2 starters and 1 more ring with beating injured Grizzlies, injured Nuggets and fluke Mavs WCF teamJokic lucked out 1 year, but Denver were clearly the best team that year
>>152760608>B-B-BUT!Cope
You can just rape someone from behind and get a jump ball as long as your hands are on the ball? Why doesn't every team do that?
How did the Wolves lose to the literal who Hawks?
ChettyGOD always has the last laugh.WemBUST is now out for the season AGAIN after being out last season. He will never play a full season or playoffs.ChettyGOD will be adding another ring this year to his resume.
Shai has a super team and all of his competition is hurtHe really is the new Curry
he's a basketball god
>>152760622>B-B-B-But!No one will ever rate your fatass over CurGOAT. He got 1 ring off an 8th seed and he's never even gotten close to another.
SCOTTIE TRIPPIE DUBBIE
how are the knicks losing lmao
I like JokicI hate Murray
keldon johnson is the biggest dawg in the league.
>>152760723Spurs play better without wembust
zeke nnaji and strawther cant get minutes with the entire team sidelined
>>152760714Curry is the goat offensive playerI don't mind him. It's just how insane the luck factor is
HANSEN YANG SIGHTING
>>152760724Murray is the one who actually wins playoff games though
refs have a fucking agenda for the spurs
Is San Antonio the Latina slampig capital of America?
>>152760767
>>152760762Murray is Zach Lavine but with Nikola Jokic.
>>152760653no trae
Denver probably won't win any of the next 10 gamesIt's not just Jokic that's injuredThey won't have 5 of the top 8 players for 6-7 games atleast
>>1527608081. Zach Lavine is not as bad as some of you meme him to be2. No he is not, again, because he bails out Jokuckold countless times in the 'offs
the crowd demands it
>>152760830lavine is based
>spurs tell wemby to fuck off>they start winningkek he is the negative mVP
>>152760830They're saying Latrine is good to slander Jokic LMFAO the stuff you see in this genny
the raptors are ASS
>>152760861that's just his impact on the game.
>>152760748>It's just how insane the luck factor isyoure mentally retarded and dont know what that word means.
we are dead ass gonna lose to the nuggets
>>152760863If you do not think Zach Lavine is a good basketball player you shouldnt be in this general. Of course an Auscuck doesnt know ball
god please trade quickley for ja morant
chet dominating
>>152760871Correct.
>>152760892Yeah Lavine as a 4th option would be pretty sweet, too bad he's got the worst contract in the league you gorilla retard
fuckthis faggot quickley looks like hes taking a fucking dump whenever hes shooting free throws. sick of looking at this guy on my screen
>B-But Jokic doesn’t play defense.>But Jokic defensive numbers are prime-Lebron-DPOY-candidateAt what age did you guys start to understand the racial subtext of quotes like picrel?
>vic, i don't understand the drum thing
.....
>>152761005Grim
>>152760981>When I come back on the court, I think it will be me>Wemby said this 2 weeks a go>he's already injured againKEK this bum is made of glass
>>152761005how did IQ's agent manage to scam the raptors to pay him that much, wasn't he a bench player back in knicks?
>>152761005somebody was smoking some strong stuff with that Quickley contract
>>152760723Champagne decided to be Steph
>>152760994damn i was hoping wemby would be out for the year
>>152760994theyre sick of this french faggot. trade wemby for mpj. they don't even need him they're like 12-3 without him.
HOLY SHIT WE FUCKING SUCK
the nuggets will have 7 players on the injury report and still wont sign a vet minimum to help the team
Raptors lost to the worst version of Denver Nuggets in the last 9 years
they actually fucking lostLMAO
Lmfao
Wtf
>>152761100What? Its going to ogre time.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH BRUCE BROWN YOU FUCKING BUM 0/2 NIGGA CALLED BANK
Its fine its fine. Bruce made the game winning bucket to give us the championship ITS FINE
>>152761020>Wembanyama enters league>Meta is: Guys his size have never, and will never, stay healthy>Draft day interview: I’m ready to win championships now>Team is as stacked as the Thunder>Constantly injured>I’m better than Jokic>Muh Zen Buddhism slopLMAO, who is this guy? Get out of my league skelator.
LOL
>>152761111>
Bruce Brown you still sucks
Refs stole the gameRaptors are the spiritual winners
WAIT A MINUTE!
THIS LEAGUE IS FUCKING RIGGEDFUCK THE NUGSHITS AND FUCK JOKIC
DAMN YOU REFS
>zero fucking slo mo replaysACTUALLY RIGGED THAT SHIT CLEARLY WAS GOOD
>>152759459He's like the 7th best forward on the fucking Jazz lmao
THANK YOU BASED REF GAWDS
BEHOLDTHE VILLAIN OF THE RAPTORS
worst loss of the season belongs to the leafs
No Jokic, no problem~
>>152761125literally undefeated
Told u this was the msot rigged game in a while
Nuggets would've gotten fucked in OT. Raptors deserve to be demoted to the g-league for that loss
OH WOW THE NUGGETS ACTUALLY DONT GIVE UP 10000000 POINTS WHEN THE FAT SERB ISNT PLAYINGJUST BEAT A 20-14 TEAM WITHOUT HIM I DONT WANT TO HEAR>WAAAAAAAAAH JOKIC HAS NO HELP WAAAAAAAAAH THIS TEAM WOULD BE WIZARDS TIER WITHOUT HIM EVER FUCKING AGAIN
NOTSOFAST
AHAHAHAHAHA EAT SHIT CANADAGETTING RAPED BY THE NUGGETS' BENCH AND THIRD STRINGERS, AT HOME, ON NEW YEARS EVE, THE HUMILIATION AAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK YOU CANADA
RIGGED
ive legit never seen a failed buzzer beater not get any slow mo replays that show the fingers/hands. this league is unironically fucking rigged.
>>152761183they did show the replays
>>152761183>>152761177AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA... FUCKING. . . . . . L E A F
somebody has to be fired/cut/traded after this. Absolutely embarrassing loss
>>152761155it's clearly still in his fingers on that webmcan't blame the refs on this one
>>152761183>he doesn't watch the games
>>152759495He didn't pick Utah, but I don't blame anyone for wanting to avoid Philly lol. Utah is also not a bad place to end up, at least before Ainge took over. They were consistently a playoff team before him and seemed to have a good eye for talent and player development. Like you can name plenty of all stars who came out of the Jazz over the years. And the taxes aren't bad at all.
>>152761155Yeah, right on the fingertip. A close up would've been nice tho
I don't give a bloody fuck. I'm out here eating butter chicken with rice and enjoying my new year.
was taking a shit, why did the buzzer beater fail?
Losing to Jamal Murray and 4 bench players is crazy.
Raptiebros... why did Masai give IQ that contract? How do we dump him for a league average PG?
Bruce just make a fucking free throw jesus christ
Where does Wilt rank on the GOAT list?
MASAI PICK UP THE PHONE
Every team that loses to the Nuggets without Jokic, Braun, and Air Gordon is a fraud no matter what their record or goal for the season is. If you lose to this shit it is a sign of absolutely shite coaching or something.
Game clock was fucked up.
Brandon Ingram>30 pts>5-7 3pt>8 rebs>1 astGood game. Sadly his fingers were too long
>The Nuggets are going to do just fine without Jokic killing the no help narrative>He'll miss enough games to lose MVP>Still will get his ass whooped in the playoffsJokic haters are being set up for a #Generational season
>>152761310>he thinks the broadcast graphics matter
>>152761309dont forget my boy cammy
>>152761277Number 2 behind Jokic.
>>152761155>>152761310Yeah, i feel like whatever clock the refs use doesn't sync with the clock on the rim
that's the kind of loss you don't recover from. Desperate trade incoming
>>152761005Fucking lol
>>152761310How convenient
>>152761005I raise you picrel
>>152761341Nah just burn it down and build around scottie while you still can
>>152761277the greatest. look at the records he holds.
holy fuck sarr
>>152761022Holy shit you are right. He got a manlet bench scorer 30 MILLION DOLLARS a year for FOUR FUCKING YEARS. This is the GOAT agent.
Masai......please come back......
the bucks SUCK
Umm giannisbros?
>>152761364these fuckers just got VJ even though they didn't deserve it at allfuck off
What's the point of Bucks keeping Giannis or Giannis stayingIt's obvious to a retard that it's over
Bros this is such a free SGA MVP it's crazy
>>152761422Giannis doesn't want to be portrayed like the villain that he is. He doesn't want to outright say "Fuck you, fuck this city, I'm out."
>>152761364Paul George tricked everyone
How did that one Bucks coach get fired for being like 36-13 and Doc still has a secured job
>>152761422>>152761445this basicallyhe's doing the dame "aw shucks poor little me" crap and is going to drag this out until everyone is begging him to just ask for a trade
>garett temple is still in raptors' payroll
>>152761453Doc is a fraud, but Adrian Griffin is an ass coach and he lost the locker room
>David Adelman said Daron Holmes has not been NBA ready during the offseason practices as he had Daron Holmes guard Jokic and Valanciunas back to back.
>>152761434It should be unanimous, but you just know some Lakers retard will give a pity vote to puka
>>152761466>>152761422I think a part of it is also that his brothers are on the team making money that they're not going to get anywhere else. So he is kind of obligated to stay there because they threw a bunch of money at them to make him happy.
>>152761449‘fraid so
>>152761453Doc got hired as Griffin's assistant, then Griffin got fired nearly immediately after and Doc just happened to take his job, lol. Doc must have maxed charisma.
>>152760321the faggot killer kills another faggot
Would Luka get MVP if he looked like this?
>>152761488>1488I hope he breaks his fucking legs. He has ruined the watchability of the game. Most of that blame goes to Harden and Embiid. But this fucker is right up there.
>>152761495that's some strong aids
Imagine if Denver didn't fall for the Russ narrativesInstead we have washed Bruce Brown
>>152761277Wilt would be javale McGee in today’s league
>>152761512Every time y'all say something like this, another Nuggets player gets rightfully injured.
>>152761545Only way that the blunder can beat them in the playoffs
If Denver doesn't rest Jamal vs Cavs I'm predicting that he will injure his ancle
nuggets played like a team and won without jokicballhog
>Jokic ACL>Wemby ACL
>>152761310
>>152759478I'm pretty sure anti pete earlyfagged both bro

how come the thunder are so healthy?
>>152761631They haven't been
Ben Simmons needs to get on the phone to denver now
>>152761673I think he's enjoying life fishing now

>>152761721He still says he's open to "the right team" aka ring chasing. That and he hits 10 years in the NBA so he gets free Healthcare for life. Time is now for young sosho
>>152761489He's making tens of millions per year. Why can't he go to the Lakers and pay his brothers directly?
>>152761453coaches arent about winning it's about having a good time
WE PLAYED THE NUGGETS WITIHOUT A FUCKING CENTER FOR THE ENTIRE SECOND HALF AND WE FUCKING LOST CAUSE DARKO REFUSED TO PLAY OUR BIGS VS A TEAM WITH NO FUCKING CENTER WHAT THE FUCK FIRE THIS FUCKING IDIOTthe nba is rigged
>>152761673DaRon is unironically better
All centers in the league getting hurt, does this mean my boy Big Handsome will get an oportunity?
>>152761769that wouldn've been a better post without the image, wordwrap killed the impact of the text
Denver's next 4 games, all away>Cavs>Nets>Sixers>CelticsWithout 4 starters and 2 centersIt might be hecking over
>>152761859Why would he give 2 shits about ring chasing? I think Sosho cares about having a real role on a team playing his brand of fast paced transition basketball and not just being on a 1 year vet min contract that gets cut or traded at the first opportunity.
>>1527620714-0 manmaybe 3-1 to be more realisticthey're the king of away games
>>152761859Idk I feel like that's just his PR say because he doesn't want people to say "See, we were right about him. He doesn't care about basketball."
Who gives AF about the nuggets
>>152762101Why would he return to the court when his back gives him crippling pain to play for the hornets or something?
LeBron is awfully silent about China wanting Taiwan....
>>152762071Easy 2-2 possible 3-1
>>152761422each side is holding out for the right deal. Giannis is at a point in his career where a team can't just empty of the vault for him in a trade since doing so will just turn your team into the Bucks instead of a contender.
>>152762071>5 guys guarding Jamal
>>152761364118 MILLION DOLLARS for Embiid and Paul George......2 years from now
>>152762071Nugger's second stringers are going to have tons of experience playing against starters over the next few weeks, Denver will come of this with a much more skilled bench.
im never watching the nba again
>>152762121I think these 2 statements make it obvious why he's now unsigned and enjoying fishing.
>>152762071I can see them beating the nets and maybe the cavs, but I think embiid will relish the opportunity to push the nuggets' shit in without jokic being there and the celtics have been rolling lately
>>152761769>my barely healthy team just barely beat ur barely healthy teamhere have a snickers, you probably need one after betting against ur own team.
>>152762071Would be funny if Cavs get belted by the hospital Nuggies just like Pat Spencer's warriors
"homegrown team" is drafting players aka forcing players against their will to play for you for years. We need to get rid of the draft. I bet it changes almost nothing though and the shit teams remain shit only now they don't have the copium of the draft.
so whip up your fifteen dollars and prepare to end club bad....
>>152762303Just let fans vote for the draft order

i sucked the moon i spoke too soon and how much did it cost
Zion Williamson is quietly having a good season but his team sucks and nobody cares anymoreNot sure what the Pelicans should do. I’m not sure he’s a great fit with Queen who is looking like the future.
i remember people thought wiggins and siakam were albatross contracts then they ended up being major contributors to finals teams. could be zion's path.
>>152762554He's untradable so they just have to make it work. They have multiple bad contracts on the team so the situation is pretty unsalvagable. I don't think there is a way to escape this iteration of the team for the next 2-3 seasons unless they can scam a bad owner somehow.
>>152759330Happy new year
>>152762554The problem isn't his skills, it's his availability. He's only played 18 out of 35 games so far.
>>152762617Don’t think he”s untradeable, just no-one is going to give up any assets either and the CBA makes salary matching difficult. They could find a taker if needed.
>Another hyperextensionFML
how did liberals let us get away with calling giannis the freak
That Derek Fisher 0.4 second shot
>>152762675You just said why he's untradable. If the Pelicans could, they'd trade Zion for nothing, but they can't.
>>152762699because it still perpetuates stereotypes they want obviously
>>152762695Watch the Spurs suddenly improve again with him gone. Kornet & Olynyk are a top tier platoon at center. When Wembii is in the lineup Olynyk is underutilized.
Near 50 50 asking price? Might as well slap $1000 on Philly right now and sleep through tomorrow
>>152762753do it pussy. Prove you are smarter than the PhD quants
>>152762481>GSW : Jimmy Butlerkek kill yourself
>>152762753Schrodinger's torn pussy, if you make the bet AD scores 100 on Drummond and if you don't Embiid scores 100 on Dwight Powell
When Jokic's out his team still wins games, even though no one puts up big stats. So he comes off as just an empty stats guy
>>152762997Denver is kind lucky he got injured at the start of an eastern conference road trip, they'll face a lot of the easy opponents in the NBA while he is out.
>>152759374can't hide being a fraud in LA
Did his raptor really start Tootie Buns at center?
People see one team scoring more points in the paint than the other team, yet have significantly less free throws and say:>How can the team with all those points in the paint have less free free-throw attempts?The above thought process is flawed It is viewing the present-day game through past era lensesPoints scored in the paint in today's NBA are not scored the same way they were scored in the past.In the past. points in the paint meant body on body contact, post moves, back to the basket catches, and footwork to turn and shootToday's points in the paint happen in wide-open freeway lanes.Everyone is hanging out on the three-point line on offense.Hence, so are the defendersSo a guard like Maxey, or a guy like Giannis (when healthy) gets a first step past the guy defending him, and no one is in the paint, so he has a clear path to the basket and scoresThis happens like 20 to 30 times in a game with teams that have skilled first-step players.So on the stat sheet, you see these teams with the skilled first step guys scoring lots of points in the paint.And then you see that they have less free throws than the other teamAnd you say:>How can they have all those points in the paint and so little free throw attempts?Because the points in the paint in the modern NBA are uncontested points.'dAnyway, I thought I'd share that.Because I'm tired of people not recognizing this.Hit me up /nba/ if you need any more knowledge dropped on you,

>>152763513It's very possible that his career is actually over after the OnK ending, which displayed clear contempt for his audience.
>>152759374They have the Mavs blueprint to go to the finals (two bigs and adding more shooters than the Mavs had) and the only thing they did is bringing mf Ayton, lmaoThey won't do shit with Rob as a GM and their team is doomed until Lebron is gone anyway.AR? They want to keep him when it's their best asset to get bigs.JJ? I'm not convinced, he didn't do shit during the last playoffs, he simply doesn't have enough experience to be the right guy to handle Luka's prime.And now these retarded fans are asking Luka to change his playstyle to stop shooting, to play off ball and D, lol
Cade invented basketball
>>152763540>change his gameI think it's more that people would prefer he do more than look like a lost puppy on defense and actual do something positive on offense when he doesnt have the ball? Not to mention the Mavs made it to the finals with a center rotation of Daniel Gafford and Derrick Lively. I think it's arguable that someone to fill the secondary scorer role like he had in Kyrie is more valuable than a big
Happy new year you retards
>Big Val outWelcome back to the nuggets, bol bol
Jokicbros...we're not needed
>>152763540Why would they move AR on for a big? It's much easier to find a Gafford than a Kyrie. They have picks and cap space, they'll be able to build a roster without moving AR.
Denver with just Jokic missing would be a solid .500 team, maybe better than that if the schedule was easierToo bad that whole team is out
Day 12~BI deserves a vote today for his clutch shot, even though his fingers were too long
>team has leveled off>have already started getting leapfrogged in the west>no young potential on the roster>zero avenues for improvement>actually considering trae young lolmaofed up/trade rumors when?
>>152764634Ant and Trae would be worse defensively than Luka and Reaves
>>152759374LeBron makes his teammates worse and his fans scapegoat them. That's always how it's been.
>>152760030He needs to adapt his game to that big dick GERMAN in his team and fall in line. His slow ass game right now forces everyone he'll every team up with to adapt to him. Hes also not protecting the rim much despite having the size to do it.

The real problem for the Lakers is modern NBA teams have too much talent for you to be 2.5 players deep. It’s not the 2000s anymore.
>>152765933I think HVL has more testosterone than 90% of NBA point guards today
>>152765968Well that and their starting lineup is sorely lacking in defensive ability.

curry is top 5 all time, guys. he just needs a team of brutes performing illegal screens and other marksmen around him cause he's too much of a midget to make shit work with the ball in his hands
>>152770189He is the most wanted guy in the history of nba midseasons. How did denver fuck up this badly.

>>152771060cultural relevance
>>152771412The defence is a bit rough, but otherwise has looked solid yeah. I doubt he'll look better than any of the lottery picks long term, maybe Demin, Bailey, or Essengue
there is no way the mavs are actually thinkin about trading for gaymond dreen to come in and punch their golden boy then have to trade him to the wizards for sarr

>leaks to the media that russell westbrook is a locker room "cancer" (it was just regular locker room spats)>gets malone fired>gets MPJ and Westbrook fired cause he kept playing them even though they were playing with one arm/hand so their stats ended up looking like shit (even though they carried the nuggets vs the >.500 clippers)>refuses to make in game adjustments so they get swept in 7 by okc in what was an easy series>gets his entire team (starters + bench) killed 30 games into the seasonIs this ugly midget the worst coach OAT?

>>152772099>They're not trading Trae apparentlyso Im guessing Jalen Johnson or Dyson is gone then
>>152772164If he goes to Hawks then it'll be KP leaving presumably
>>152772099they are, they don't want to tank his value tho
>LeBron james needs helpwhy are ESPN journalists still doing this bit?
>>152771593Raynaud's stats are skewed by the fact that he hasn't been playing 35 minutes until recently. When he plays a full start he gets double digit boards
>>152772199why? KP looks compatible with Trae if hes healthy. JJ is basically like Trae, no defense playmaker but shittier 3pt shot, and Dyson is just all defense no offense
>>152772164No way they're trading Johnson lol. And they just extended Dyson, i highly doubt they'll trade him too
>>152772232>Gaylaysia
>>152772212Maybe, I doubt his value is particularly high anyway>>152772224Doesn't play often, expiring contract, and plays AD's position. For what it's worth, I wouldn't do this deal at all if I were the Hawks and I think AD is worse than KP, but if the deal happens he'll be the one who's used to make up the money I assume
>>152772222He was a good rebounder in college too, but not much of a rim protector. I'm sure he'll stick as a solid player in the league for some years, but I'm not sold on anything higher than that yet
>>152772262Lol you're really having a melty over a trade discussion? I didn't even try to offend you. But cry all you want i guess
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRT45aqxJPUso, it's another lebron bashing youtube videobut one of the comments caught my attentionis there truth to this hgh meme?
imagine if Paulo actually used his big frame to rebound and body people to get easy buckets instead of shoot shitty middies

>>152772667too many lmao he's the best part of modern NBA. I probably won't be watching too much ball until he comes back.

>>152774851Shai will unironically never even be close to be considered a top player in this game. His over-reliance on the whistle just makes him bad basketball to watch. Sure other stars have a star whistle, but Shai makes it a point to lean into it. He either gets soft defenders who don’t want to get a foul for breathing on him or normal defenders who will get popped even making contact with him. I don’t even dislike OKC and if JDub was yals guy I would think OKC would be pretty fun. Shai is just a black mark on basketball as a whole as the game is right now.
