>>153461398You’re at home posting in the same general as him btw.
>>153461398respect peteGOD bum
>>153461444I'm not. There's a thing called a cellphone>>153461431>>153461447Cringe incels
>>153461410so does this mean tatum comes back this season?
>>153461476Tatum would be the most retarded human on the planet if he rushed back from an achilles injury. Celtics are the 2nd seed without him. hes not gonna be at 100% at all this season and he would ruin the chemistry as a result. just take the gap year.
>>153461398peteGOD owns you lil bro
I’m wondering what has happened to treatment so Achilles isn’t a career ender anymore. Everyone expects Lillard and Tatum to come back as similar players.
>>153461598illegal PEDs
>>153461598Their insane, people talkin like tatum would be playin 30 minutes a game or something if he comes back next month
>>153461598Sports medicine has improved a ton. A broken foot almost ended MJs career. ACL tear used to be career ending.
>*record scratch*
>>153461598i have a retarded roid abusing powerlifting uncle who tore each achilles within 2 years of each other. i was his chauffeur for both surgeries as I'm a NEET and talked to the surgeon for the second one. he was saying the way they're repairing this other achilles on him is way better than the other one and gave me a little 3d graph on his phone. shit was pretty cool. uncle healed way better on the second surgery.
>>153461598Everyone get's KD's surgery now, which IIRC, was like state of the art brand new when he got it. It's only gotten better since.
>>153461366So pistol Pete ain’t gotta life? No respect for other legends damn shame
The NBA is about to get cancelled for not giving the dude immediate concussion protocol, instead letting him keep dunking lol.
jrichs zoomie son is KWABOTY t bh kek
Nigga got a season ending injury cause of the dunk contest. Magic just got gifted the #1 pick.
>>153461735>>153461714>>153461739Wait what happened to him?
>>153461668It's not really that new. Been around for about a decade. They do a special reinforced braided stitch, drill into the calcaneus and anchor it using Swivelocks or known colloquially as internal brace. Sometimes they lengthen the Achilles using a Z lengthening if it's all messed up. I've done about 100 in my career. Back in the day they'd anchor it only using knots so you lose most of your flexibility t.surgiChad
>>153461714The NBA is never getting cancelled no matter what cause they make too much money from gambling retards
Hope he had fun
>>153461714Silver's Daboll moment
>>153461757This is exactly why backboards shouldn’t exist
>>153461753That's what jai alai thought
https://streamable.com/g1v55fWhat's the best response to this if you're Giannis?
>>153461757This is the funniest part KEK. Didn't even want to be part of this shit
>>153461757>KWAB
>>153461789lmao fucking brutal

>>153461789KEK
>>153461813>how is his ability to walk?He's fine. He's 50 now so he doesn't run but he walks around and stuff. Helps that he's been lifting for decades so he's a go getter with his rehab
>>153461816holy crossed eyed mutt lel
>>153461789>tragicnever change
>>153461816fucking caveman
>>153461832was it expensive?
>>153461853>was it expensive?not at all I recall. He has medical insurance and it was nothing crazy. he's not rich either.
>>153461816weapskitz was right.
>>153461444I'm at your mom's house
I miss thibs so much knickbros
>>153461638The dunk he was attempting was the most interesting one imo he just didn't land it
>>153461889Hes a fat retard
This was a real dunk at the dunk contest
>>153461922Isn't he also like 7'?
>>153461668That’s concerning for Lillard and Hali. KD was literally the best case scenario (in terms of his game and it being his off-leg) but his game quietly changed post-Achilles. Dude lost a step and can’t get the same lift or move in the same way. He stopped driving anywhere near as much instead, being a 6’11 guy with a high release, he became much more of a jump shooter. That’s a luxury you don’t have as a small guard.
Pause
>be me>snore throughout this entire weekend
>>153462050uh oh
jeremy lin reminding the world hes the goat in 2026. Been a great all star weekend
The NBA and NFL had amazing all-star breaks forever. The build up, selections, festivities, and game were all must watch. Now the NFL has Deion's boy playing flag football and 0/10 dunks from niggas nobody has ever heard of are the show.Adam Silver has gotta go man. He's driving this league into the dirt. The NBA cannot survive on this path. It's a joke.
Kobe, Stern and Epstein looking up through all this and laughing at Silver right now
>>153462221>Been a great all star weekendwhat the fuck
Is Dame fat?
>>153462363well cant do much NBA workouts on a busted achilles.
>>153462363he looked chunky to me
Silver's gotta go right? League is becoming a joke, all on his watch. Stern woulda had this nigga driven out of the Vegas desert with some "friendlies".
>>153462363Every athlete gets fat, at least right after they stop playing. They're used to a certain amount of calories to operate, but w/o the game they all go to the belly. The only exception are offensive linemen in football, who routinely lose like 100+ pounds post retirement.
>>153462490makes you wonder how Luka is fat despite being in the NBA, and what he will look like when he leaves. Jokic as well.
We almost saw a 20 year old have a career ending injury, just get rid of this event man
my co worker suggested putting the worst free throw shooters and make them do a free throw contest.
>>153462551Tractor Traylor ballooned up to 400 lbs after he retired
They should do a 1 on 1 unc vs star challenges or horse.
>>153462551Oliver Miller was obese when he played in the NBA. he fucking died at 54.
>>153462551luka gonna be my 600lb life
How tall is Wemby.
>>153462691>luka face fat
>>153462691>literally all the best players are on the world teamthe fuck is this bullshit
>>153462363Damon Felton

>>153462691SGA mogs here
ameribros....are we cooked?
>>153462829>6'11 giannis has to look up at Wemby to speak with him
>>153462800I see a bunch of shitters and a washed jokic
>>153462843wemby is 7'4. a 5'11 dude has to look up to speak with a 6'4 dude face to face. very believable.
Ou great luka and jokic on the same tram again so they can waste everybodys time as they fuck around and throw shitty passes back and forth at each other. BAN WHITE PEOPLE FROM THE ASG
>>153462829My fuaking heroes :) i kinda hope they would smack both of the usa teams but i feel like they are gonna lose because of Luka & Big honey
>>153462565Yeah cause what the NBA needs is more fucking free throws jfc
>>153462866they might tryhard just cuz kd and lebum have been crying about how it's their fault the asg is trash
>>153462913Fans go crazy when Mitchell Robinson is on the line.
This is insane
>>153462845kek
>>153462964>Luka got negative canthal tiltIts over
>>153462964R kelly would be cool if he didnt flop and bait like a bitch
LeBron should’ve just retired after the 2020 season. Everything afterwards has ruined his legacy. From pushing the Westbrook trade, forcing the Lakers to draft Bronny, to his name being mentioned and linked in the Diddy files, and unabashed stat-padding to the decrement of the team.
>>153463122He probably just underestimated the league getting so competitive
>>153462964Wemby kinda looks like Karl Malone
>>153462964Sgay got that zesty fluoride stare down
>>153463135His whole career prior to the Lakers was spent in the (L)East. Western Conference has been the more competitive conference for 25+ years.
>>153463122Lebron is nothing without basketball. He's not cool like Jordan. He can't win an Oscar like Kobe. He can't be a fun media guy like Shaq and Chuck. He's just going to play Madden more.
>>153463175What about KD?
>>153462964team world will blow out the two american teams very easily, unless it's rigged, which it isotherwise i'd bet like all my money on team world
>>153463175>He can't win an Oscar like Kobe.The fuck did Kobe win an Oscar for?
>>153463200I am legend
>>153463122the lakers thought they had a mini dynasty coming. They had prime AD, strong role players, and Lebron was still effective. They had bad luck
>>153462964Awwww, look how happy Giannis is
Y'all corny ahh niccas were actually watching All Star weekend instead of having a cheeky shag with a lady? Grim...
>>153463122why? he was still elite
>>153463200a movie about basketball
>>153463232These lil niggas need to get some bitches on their dick and stack some paper
>>153461816Cam mogs him harder than Cooper Flagg mogs his twin brother
https://youtube.com/shorts/ExTgCvnhE2Ethe fuarking script...genius i knew the league tactically made sure curry couldn't be the greatest player of all time...
>GianpissI don’t know if I’ve ever turned on a player so fast. He has become so cringy and corny. It’s funny because he was almost universally loved as a success story. I just can’t with this dude now. Too much to write out
>>153463240He could’ve gone out on top. And still do his typical LeBron bullshit like “I can still get 40-50 right now if I laced them up”, and the thing is, he would’ve been right. It would’ve added to his legacy. Whereas nowadays, seems like he’s just stat-padding for his career overalls. Not that he hasn’t always operated this way
>>153463217They had a bad gmSam Presti or Brad Stevens would've kept Caruso and not traded for Westbrook
Happy valentines day, I hope you aren't a virgin right now
>>153463294eh, he still had a chance to win another one with AD. i do think he should have made this his retirement year after getting swept in the first round two seasons in a row
Something about Carter Bryant doesn’t sit right with me
>>153463122Whatever legacy hit you think he took doesn't outweigh $280m and being the all time points scorer
>>153463323Westbrook trade was truly the death nail. Like picking a scab, and now you’ve got a full on infection on your hands
>>153462964One of these players does not belong.
>>153463383not really, he was going insane post all star break on the wizards. it just didn't work out cause lebron wouldn't give him the ball, and lebron/ad were injured for most of the season so they never got a rhythm
>>153463378All time leader in shot attempts, turnovers and minutes too. These are longevity stats. Did you see Space Jam 2?
>>153463400>Did you see Space Jam 2no cause it was directed by a black

Scorsese. Spielberg. Coppola. Bryant.
>>153463475famous (alleged) rapists?
>>153463400No gave a shit about who the turnovers leader was before, and nobody does now, but any basketball fan with a sense of history knows Kareem had the record, and MJ didn't do it, Kobe didn't do it, but LeBron hasI didn't watch it because it looks bad, and it was a terrible idea for LeBron to do it, it was doomed at conception. If he wanted to make a basketball movie it should've been an original idea instead of something that had little chance of being as iconic as the original
>>153463249Absolute state of BABBs...
>>153461487>he would ruin the chemistry as a resultThis. Plus he's better off just sitting out until next year because when Celtics inevitably get bounced out of the playoffs, it'll make his return that much sweeter especially since JB has been yapping and dick eating posting comparison stats from when Gaytum played last year vs without him. It'll be solid proof that while JB can lead the team without him, they clearly can't/won't win without him and that's definitely what you want if you're him.
>>153463755>since JB has been yapping and dick eating posting comparison stats from when Gaytum played last year vs without himHas he actually
>>153463122Nah he had to chase/statpad that scoring record from Kareem. Now he's just statpadding it to make sure no one will ever come anywhere close to breaking it. 2/3 of his kids are fucking grown already. And I don't think he cares about his daughter/wife that much to retire. He'll statpad as long as he can average at least 20 PPG, he really wants those records to stand the test of time: scoring record + seasons played record.
>>153463774Unless I got baited by someone on here, he posted some comparison stats on IG that someone screencapped.
>>153463796Kek he did. I thought Brown was supposed to be like smart and sensible, not doing this shit
need somebody to explain why kingston flemings is above darius acuff, even just watching flemings' highlights i never saw the hype, but actually watching his game today during the all star shit...i dont get it. Few high level passes, some odd lazy turnovers, missed a wide open middy...etc etc.Ill admit I havent watched Acuff yet, but his highlights have impressed me way more, and I heard he had a better game today too than flemings.
>>153464062I'm not really a fan of either, but defence is the main separator. There's a good chance that Acuff is unplayable defensively in the league
hows d book draining 3s like that and then go shoot 20%

>>153472366Streaming companies are willing to buy at a loss in order to defeat cable. Live sports were one of the few cable exclusive things left keeping it afloat.
>>153472512The NBA will be profitable as long as negroes have EBT & SNAP money to spend on advertisable products. Including large numbers of europeans, especially non-White europeans further improves on that point of profit because european non-Whites constitute a much larger group of people to spend their welfare money on products advertised in NBA broadcasts. Over 100 million of them in europe.

My friend got into gambling and he's over here watching the game screaming FUCKKKKK after duren grabbed a rebound (we're pistons fans). The dude bet an under on our own centers rebounds. And he didn't care we won cause his parlay didn't hit
>>153472505Why not just completely randomise the draft? All 30 first round picks have an equal chance at being 1. It'd be better than just giving the richest teams the best young players.
>>153472505This is the obvious solution. Just put guard rails up like 2nd apron teams can only give min shit tier contracts to rookies, while salary cap teams can offer what you'd normally give to top 5 picks. I think this would actually be a huge boon to well run smaller markets. Instead of having only having 1 1st round pick every season unless you fleece the Clippers, you could in theory draft a rookie big 3 all at once. Players will go where they think they can get the most play time that lines them up for the next big contract.
>>153472523They could implement some kind of rule to prevent this from happening
>>153472785my mom is a natural lightskin, and my aunts. its the reason why I stay away from them and Latinas. they are very high maintenance. sometimes they like to fight just for the fun of it.
>>153472911>sometimes they like to fight just for the fun of it.Relatable. My rez aunties are like this. They'll call each other at night just to start a fight and they go at it for 3 hours saying the meanest stuff to each other. I'll never understand WNBA
>>153472911>sometimes they like to fight just for the fun of it.my lightskin aunts and mother do this as well. I wonder why.
>>153472911>natural>lightskins
>>153472505>Adam Silver and his advisorsWho are these advisors? Benjamin Netanyahu and the Epstein files bunch? Scrap this league and start over.
>>153473080my mom is lightskin, my grandparents are lightskin, my great grandmother is black and my great gramps is lightskin. on my grandfathers side, they literally all are lightskin.my family comes from a small caribbean island.
>>153473118and?
>>153473141they are just natural lightskins. they exist. like curry and his family
Mexicans are becoming lighter. Look at Jaime Jaquez's sister (UCLA Womens Basketball)
>>153473154Just because they race mixed earlier than you remember doesn't make lightskins "natural". The fact that you even have to qualify them with the term "natural" says it all. Caribbean blacks were shipped from Africa like all the others.
I'm white like Mitch Johnson
>>153472505>>153472853Don't they need all 30 teams to vote yes for a change like this
>>153473177>Jaquez is of Mexican descent through his father, and of Norwegian descent through his mother.Jaime Jaquez is Liquid Snake compared to her damn he got the short end of that.
>>153473212Is that natural white or just white?
>>153473243Not sure but they approved picrel and instantly regretted it. Turns out 14% for the worst team to get the top pick in the draft is barely a step away from true random.
>>153473177
they just need to make it so that a team cant get a top lottery pick for multiple years. something like, if a team receives a top 3-5 lottery pick, for the next 3-5 years that cant pick inside the top 6, or something like that.
>>153473341Qveen
>>153473431
>>153473467Based
Burger BAWBs got anudda one, you lot just don't know him yet...
>>153473402Then it becomes near impossible to build through the draft. It's already super hard to get a good lotto pick 3 years in a row and have them all not be busts just on the pure math of it. The more rules you need to add to "fix" the draft the more it becomes obvious the draft is the problem.
>>153473890There will always be downsides for any changes you make to the draft rules>Flatten the lottery oddsSome unlucky teams like the pistons will never get the top 3 pick>Not being able to get lottery picks after the year you get oneRebuilding becomes much harder>Give lotto picks to teams that are just outside the play insGenuine ass teams will suffer forever
>>153472505>>153473243this would have to be done via a new CBA, and agreed to by the owners and the players. adam silver cannot unilaterally implement this. it will never happen.
>>153472523you obviously dont know Dolan
>>153473341Is she somehow related to Cara Delavigne or however you spell that lady's last name?
>>153473890I feel like there is literally nothing that can be done to fix this. Basketball is just too dependent on star players, and anything you try to do to fix things, there is always a give and take with it. Any solution you postulate will be good in some ways, but terrible in others.I've even wondered about the idea of having the lottery teams play their own "playoff" bracket when the playoffs are going on, where the teams get awarded the pick based on where they finish (winner of the bracket gets first pick, all the way to the bottom gets the 14th). Or that the draft order is chosen in reverse order of the standings, where the team with the 17th best regular season record picks first overall, and the worst overall team picks 14th. Because at least this would mean that teams completely tanking aren't being rewarded for it. But of course the flip side of this is that it means that the teams who may be actually terrible will never get a pick that improves their franchise so they just stay terrible forever.I just don't think it's possible. Hey, maybe eliminating the draft completely would actually be a good idea. People worry that the best draft players would just go to the same big market teams, but when those big market teams would have to pay signifcantly less because they have too many big contracts, the small market teams would become desirable.
>>153472699how exactly do you reconcile your MAGA beliefs with the idea that poor europeans have more money to spend then americans?like bruh do you think serbs or greeks are buying NBA streaming packages?
>>153474178thats where you're wrong kiddoklutch mafia runs the league nowjust a cohencidence they wanna get rid of the draft right as old ass LeBum is gonna retireLeDiddy will control the league long after he retires. him and Rich Paul already destroyed the union.
>>153474114The draft existing at all also has the huge downside of bad GMs and Owners trading all their picks away and leaving their fanbase hopeless for half a decade. Or incentivizing a team to be bad on purpose for half a decade making players actively root against their even being mediocre for fear of the treadmill. Or dumb shit like everyone rooting for the fucking Clippers just so OKC doesn't create a dynasty because of a single retard owner's decisions. No draft means you are always rooting for your team to win. And if you put up guard rails so 2nd apron teams can only offer the min to rookies, 1st aprons only offering meh contracts, etc. then that's even more good prospects being funneled to salary cap/bad teams. And since you could in theory sign more than 1 top tier prospect each off season, a rebuild can be much faster for a well run organization instead of waiting years for ping pong balls. Imagine if 2-3 top rookie prospects all decide to sign with the same team and instantly creates a young fun team.
>>153474412>I've even wondered about the idea of having the lottery teams play their own "playoff" bracket when the playoffs are going on, where the teams get awarded the pick based on where they finish (winner of the bracket gets first pick, all the way to the bottom gets the 14th). Or that the draft order is chosen in reverse order of the standings, where the team with the 17th best regular season record picks first overall, and the worst overall team picks 14th. Because at least this would mean that teams completely tanking aren't being rewarded for it. But of course the flip side of this is that it means that the teams who may be actually terrible will never get a pick that improves their franchise so they just stay terrible forever.There's also the very real possibility that players tank this because they don't want a team to draft their replacement. Why try hard and risk injury for someone to steal your job? So this just becomes a tank bowl within a tank bowl and the most unwatchable shit possible.
>>153474469again i will try and get you's to understand...McDonalds isnt in competition with McDonaldsthe nba is rigged 24 of the franchises are jobbers and they're happy to be jobbers
>>153474314kek
First step to fixing the draft is to not rig it
>>153474738teams tanking is to distract you from the fact that it's rigged>the jazz are tanking because it's not rigged they wouldn't tank if it was!
Just remove all incentive to lose, and let teams figure out how to build slowly without having a top 5 pick for 3 years in a row. The Celtics are currently one of the best teams in the league without their highly drafted stars because they're good at identifying undervalued talent. Free agency sounds like a bad idea, so keep the draft and flatten all odds. That's what I would do.
>>153474984Flattening odds is just asking for a different contender to get a top 3 pick every year
>>153474984OR just give the worst team in the league the number 1 pick. NO one is going to tank after 10 games when they realize they have no shot at getting the #1 spot. One or two teams tanking is better than ten teams tanking.
>>153475069I'd prefer that to having a bunch of terrible teams waiting for their saviour in the draft. As long as the salary cap rules make it hard to retain 'super teams', parity will remain somewhat.>>153475111But those teams will probably hope that next year will be their year. The issue for me is when teams aren't building, but are rather just waiting to draft a player to build around. If they're serious about making the league competitive, there should just never be any incentive to lose for any team.
>>153475218How are you supposed to build without drafting? WTF?
>>153475218If you are going to flatten the odds, then just don't have the draft at all and don't let high payroll teams be able to offer good contracts to rookies. Much less likely for a contender to get the top pick and there's no incentive to tanking anymore at the same time.
Screw them tanking. Let me decide which rookie goes to which team.
>>153475296Well you can draft, just not necessarily with the a top pick every year. There's also free agency and trading. Smart front offices do it already.>>153475302I suppose that makes sense, I just don't really like it for some reason.
Also once you remove the incentive to lose, the gap in assets and talent won't be as large as it currently is because losing teams wouldn't just get rid of all of their good players to help them tank. They'd be much more prepared to enter contender status with one or two lucky lotteries.
>>153475493why would a good free agent want to sign with a shit team who would trade a good player to a bad team for a bunch of bad playersevery team that's been built has been built with draft picks, that's literally how it works. the top pick is not a player, it's you being able to choose whoever you want before anyone gets to choose.
>>153474967so why did the Jazz, who we all agree are tanking, give 3 future first rounders for a guy who isnt an all star or 1st team nba in offense or defense? they were obviously promised something
>>153475678the knicks didnt draft any of their starters neither have the lakers or clippers. wtf are you talking about?
>>153475753is this the knicks and clippers that haven't won anything in 60 years and will never win anything ever knicks and clippers?
>>153475678leaf's brain got raked
So does Adam Silver just hate the NBA? >Let us get rid of the draft
>>153475789>sucking for 5+ years just to still be a feeder team is the only way!
>>153475493If you are building from nothing you aren't getting free agents that move the needle. Franchise players rarely hit free agency.
>>153475678>why would a good free agent want to sign with a shit teamMoney, larger role, personal reasons.>who would trade a good player to a bad team for a bunch of bad playersHappens all of the time>every team that's been built has been built with draft picks, that's literally how it worksThe Celtics this season are +14.4 per 100 possessions without Jaylen Brown. That's a contender level team built entirely of late first round picks, second round picks, cheap free agency signings, and trades for underrated players. The Nuggets' championship team only had a 7th pick and 14th pick in it, built over many years.
https://streamable.com/mt863tI want every single one of you to explain this shit right now. Why is YOUR sport dead?
>>153475823>remove draft>every team can just bid on players as they enter the league>the best players go to already good teams because who wants to play for fucking Utah? >bad teams are only able to get players that would normally be second round picks Sounds great
>>153475823every nba champion since the heat including the first warriors win exclding the kd bs has been a team that picked high within 5 years
>>153475880We've already discussed solutions to this in the thread and you chose to ignore it to create a straw man
>empty all star games>overpriced tickets with players not playing or trying>unwatchable globohomo garbage>no rules enforced>defense is punished>glorified 3 point contest with some dunks>in bed with the gambling companies and blatant rigging occurs >players hate the fans and look down on them>the fans hate the league with intense hatred >jew commissioner destroyed everything and admits the league isn't worth watching live>teams purposely losing and not even hiding it>overrated bum who makes his team worse and plays no defense claims he's the GOAT This joke league needs to die. If you spend money on this garbage you are a retard. You want the change you should stop giving them your money and don't watch it. Full boycott
>>153475789the draft, or at least the lottery, has been a colossal failure that hasn't achieved any of its stated goals. In fact it made everything worse because instead of just 2-3 being dogshit every mediocre team thinks they could get lucky instead of getting smacked in the 1st round
>>153475848See>>153475561 teams wouldn't be building from nothing after some years of this being the norm. Even if you don't have the star yet, a free agency signing can obviously be an integral part of a rebuild.
>>153475910That wouldn't happen without the draft retard
>>153472742>retarded and racist, pick a struggle
>>153475952what the fuck are you talking about? they built their team around a guy they drafted. why are you even in this conversation
>>153475936You can either return to "worst team gets the first pick" or completely redo the system, but that would require a new CBA. The trade system is too restrictive in terms of money in and money out and they need to get rid of bird rights and other rules that incentivize staying with your original team so more top tier players go into free agency.
>>153475949At best you are signing sixth man of the year type players in free agency. Franchise players rarely hit free agency.
The fact that fans aren't even really happy if you get like a 6th seed and would still rather tank proves the draft is a huge failure. It is more competitive to suck now than it is to try to win.
>>153475880then it comes down to >do you want a ring (that has the potential to be called mikey mouse, hospital ring) or >millions of dollars more than you're worth but you'll be the star
>>153476054A lot of people have forgotten that NBA and other sports leagues are entertainment. So stuff has become a zero-sum game of you are either competing or tanking.
>>153473210tsmt, arabs are "lightskins" they've been mixing with africans since before the dawn of recorded history and they have the curly hair, dark complexions and revolting body odor that proves it. just because there is no record of it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
>>153476054blame colleges for hoarding talent paying guys millions of dollars resulting in less and less talent in each draft per year
>>153476054that depends on the structure of the team. Nobody wants to root for something like the heat drawing dead every year but if it's a team like the hornets it would be exciting
>>153476002this is exactly how Lediddy rich paul Klutch mafia ruined the league its amazing no talking heads point this out
>>153476049Like I said though, not every move has to be for the franchise player. If you don't have an incentive to lose now in order to finally get your franchise player, you can build slowly in preparation for one. It'd also encourage teams to be more bold in free agency with player who they think could scale up to being stars, like Brunson. Maybe some rules could be changed to make free agency signing more viable too
what do we think about the KD files https://x.com/basedfrog23/status/2023103510502383942?s=20
The last time the NBA was good was 2016 and 2019. Silver has decimated this league.
>>153476187Trvke
>>153476098>So stuff has become a zero-sum game of you are either competing or tanking.Exactly and we need to get rid of that mindset by changing the rules. Fans should be excited when their young team starts figuring things out and building some wins, not pissed off because it makes them 1% less likely to draft a slightly better young guy. Compete or Tank has sucked all the entertainment factor out of getting to the middle and then trying to improve once you get to the middle to becoming a contender.
>>153476118I've been to a lot of Arab homes and white homes. Arabs have the cleanest homes and it isn't even close. They are a very clean people. White people are the dirtiest people after blacks
>>153476228its OVER
>>153476153thats capplenty of guys come out too early just to waste away in the g league almost as if they were lied to just to feed the draft because the draft has become its own spectacul
>>153476161>Nobody wants to root for something like the heat drawing dead every yearThe draft is exactly what causes the treadmill of death though.
>>153476228based KDhe definitely posts here too
>>153476054Because NBA history shows that you need an MVP caliber player in a top seed to win a championship.
>>153476295the bad players dont get paid which is why they go to the draft and why theyre stuck in the gleauge instead of on a roster
>>153476153Players staying in college longer is a good thing, they'll come into the league better on average and teams won't have to cope about the bad ones' "upside" for as long
>>153476292you start talkin bout his turnovers hes gonna throw every one of them under the bus lmfao
>>153476312And the fact that you have to suck shit to get that leads to the treadmill of death and Compete or Tank only.
>>153471857This is just performative Christianity.

Holy fuck what a loser
KD forced his way into houston and now he's complaining that their franchise star who was on the team prior to him forcing himself there can't shoot or defend. What the actual fuck is wrong with this dude. Holy fuck just go to the lakers or some shit then.
>bragging about selling murder machines>shitting on his own teammates behind their backs>whining about then like a bitch>>153476776Man KD is a fucking lame. Maybe Draymond was right about him after all

Do not google Jabari Smith Jr favourite player
>>153476913KD made the team worse right away, too. He's just trying to externalize all his own failures and project them onto other people as a way to save his own ego. Combine that with his own myopic understanding of what makes for good ball leads to some of the weirdest critiques of his teammates. It is nice to see his perspective so transparently since it really highlights how a player can be so good at ball himself without really knowing ball (expert in only his own facets of ball), and how there are so many former players make shitty coaches, GMs, and talking heads.
>>153477202ya they probably heard silver's plan to run a euro league, which he just stole from lebum's secret plan to make his own euro league, and think they can recoup that investment

he PWHL uses a draft order system called the “Gold Plan” which was originally proposed by a PhD student back in the early 2010s to try to reduce the NHL’s runaway tanking problem at the time. They never implemented it, but the PWHL tried it when they began operations in 2024 and has seen great success in their (admittedly) short history.Here’s how it works: once a team gets mathematically eliminated from playoffs, they immediately begin accumulating “draft order points” for *winning* games. At the end of the season, the team with the most draft order points gets the first pick. It’s a really simple yet effective system.The worst teams still have the best chance of getting a top pick, since they’ll be eliminated earlier and therefore accumulate draft order points for longer. However, they are still strongly incentivized to play to win their games towards the ending of the season, because the first pick is not at all guaranteed. While this system isn’t perfect, it doesn’t reward teams for losing, essentially removes the incentive to tank towards the end of the season, and removes the random chance element from the draft lottery.

that explains kuminga
>>153477540Sounds awful. This will not motivate players to tryhard at the end of a season since the players don't really want a team to draft their replacement. Even if it worked, only trying hard AFTER games no long matter since they are mathematically eliminated is completely backwards. Who does that benefit?
>>153477730He relaxed!
>>153477639Well expansion is probably going to see conference realignment since the two teams being added are Seattle/Vegas. I imagine they move the Pelicans to the East and probably the Timberwolves.

imagine punishing actual shit teams who aren't even tanking cause you want tanking teams to get punished lol. use the reverse draft order, punish teams that tank by fining them every time they play weird tank lineups and sit guys for extended periods in a game for no reason. it seems pretty fucking simple to me. and get rid of this fucking pick swap bullshit. if a pick gets traded, it gets traded fully.

>>153477540definitely won't work with the play-ins. if anything, this promotes tanking harder and earlier because teams with a .451 record go to the playoffs, so the 10th seed remains in contention deep into the season, leaving little time for wins after elimination. to combat that, you'd basically want to never win a game until you're eliminated.

>>153479107Someone is leaking KD's messages from his burner account and he is a whiney bitch
>Kyrie gone for a single season>League falls apart
>>153479107KD invests in drones for Israel, gets bitched by some guy on twitter for refusing to answer a simple question numerous times, gets his shit leaked for being a lifetime loser on burner accounts
>Jokic>Wemby >SengoonIf the World's front court actually plays, there is no way the Stars & Stripes can win. Too little. But Jokic is a big ass bitch these days. Bring back the guy who ended Marcus Morris' career.
>>153479116Kaydee was talking about Luka
>>153478934it's true. steph is not physically dominant. he needs kerr and a whole system of screens and cuts for him to work. it's why the stephews who hate on draymond and kerr are the dumbest motherfuckers imaginable. steph is the only player in the top 12 who is basically a system baby.
>>153479107Some guy presses kd on his israeli drone investments, kd dodges the question and has been for a few weeks. Some random guy replies to him with his messages from a now exposed burner account where he jokes about said drones. While at it other posts from him are exposed where he cries about (former) teammates and calls jabari smith jr a retard. The posts are fairly recent too
>>153479107Most important thing is KD shittalks his teammates, which indicates the type of guy he is and maybe is a sneak peek into the locker room. You kinda have to read them. Do not listen to anyone making a fuss over the gaza/israel drone shit though. These people do not care about basketball or are brown as indicated by their flags (Canadian, German and Australian)
>>153479206All of them lol
>>153478923I understand what you mean. You just didn't get what "mathematical impossible" means. And the "draft points" don't start before you are completely out of contention.
>>153479239You will never be a man
>>153479239Why does talking about gaza upset you this much. There is no drop of brown blood in me and i didnt bring this up out of nowhere like some libtard arthoe. Im done talking about it anyway. The basketball stuff is more related to /sp/
>>153479284It doesn't matter how often you steal our jokes, you will never be American.
>>153479243Lmao no wonder he trashed them both so hard during the press conference
>>153479239Leafs own you lil bro

>>153479299Why does KD talking about gaza upset you this much?
Hate to think about what that nigga has said about Reed Sheppard
>>153479243KD 1.4 AST/TOJokic 2.9 AST/TONo wonder he couldnt win 1 without curry
This shits better than the AS weekend fucking kek
>>153479355KD wouldn't shit talk a rook. He's a real nigga who only lights fire under the ass of contemporary uncs.
>>153479353Well im at an age where i think joking about dead people is bad. And durant is at an age where joking about this isnt excusable
>>153479386Let's wait and see...
apologize
>>153479269>You just didn't get what "mathematical impossible" means.>the 10th seed remains in contention deep into the season, leaving little time for wins after elimination. huh? ESL?
nba fans are never beating the mandrama/tmz allegations
KD doin all this instead of starting a family
>>153479386He called Jabari retarded and he's like 22 lol
>>153479084he wants to be able to bandwagon jump/sign with a new team in march 2027

>>153479412NBA has always been hilarious>>153479422Jabari looks up to him too man shit is cruel
>>153461366DENIIIIIII
>>153479442KD sort of has his own Klutch media empire, but he just gives sad retards attention instead of paying bots and media members
>>153478574>>153478514full quote retards >I hope I inspire people over there not only to be great in sports, but to be better in general in life, hopefully someday I can make it over there.he hates those jews
people are ugly on the inside
>>153479388You are talking exactly like a libtard arthoe lmao. And didn't you say you would stop talking, lil bro?
>>153472647hoeflation is unreal
>>153479408If you are in the play ins, then you aren't totally ass. Why do you think you deserve the lottery pick?? What are you even on about??
Team America wins this
>>153461366>USA vs The World>USA has essentially 0 home court advantage and will lose by 40thanks Silver haha
Very hilarious how it is the same Canadian, German, and Australian flags who keep talking about KD nonstop kek.
Adam Silver really thinks milking the NBA on NBC song will put butts in seats

>>153479595As bad as him joining steph was, warriors durant was just unplayable. He more than earned those finals mvps and honestly, his legacy is secure. Cant debate that. 2017-2019 playoff durant was a goat tier player

>>153479442SHUT ITDOWN
>>153479552the 10th seed is the last playoff spot; it is the standard by which 11-15 are eliminated from contention. the point is, you can have a .451 record like the heat last year, and make it into the playoffs. therefore, the dogshit wizards weren't eliminated til their 69th game. under the proposed system, they would have been incentivized to tank harder and earlier, to give themselves more games to earn draft points after elimination.
someone make another thread. the jew forgot to put /nba/
