Da Bulls :)
>>153720659LeBron is the GOAT
Daily reminder that Papa Silver owes us Cameron Boozer for gifting the T-Wolves and the Face of the League ™ our hometown hero who plays great defense and is the 5th best 3pt shooter in the league. Also, we even took their draft bust that they were trying to get rid of. Then, we’ll draft best center available with the Portland pick and best bigs/SGs available with our two second rounders. Then, we let everyone we recently acquired except Leonard Miller walk (Dillingham, Ivey, Sexton, Simmons, Yabusele, Richards), sort by age in free agency and sign all the 72+-rated free agents who are 18-22 years old with untapped potential.>PG: Josh Giddey>SG: Isaac Okoro>SF: Matas Buzelis>PF: Cameron Boozer>C: Center drafted with Portland pick>Sixth Man: Tre Jones>Bench: Jalen Smith, Leonard Miller, Patrick Williams, Noa Essengue, second rounder, second rounder, previously-mentioned 18-22 year old free agent, previously-mentioned 18-22 year old free agent, previously-mentioned 18-22 year old free agentName a more fun, young team, which is positioned better for the future than my 2026-2027 Bullies.
>>153720659which players in the modern NBA have as much avra as pistol pete?

black guys love for ant man is beyond zesty and they arent even aware
i love all my niggas but i promise im not a faggot
>>153720744Joker's peak is better than lebrons. Lebron just ring hopped for chips
Abolish March NBA
>>153720750They wanted him to be the next Jordan so bad it was disgusting. He's a great player right now, and he's still very young so of course he can be better/go on to do more, but they were ready to crown him the next face of the league already. They're desperate for a dark black American basketball player to be atop the league since LeBrons on his way out and the top players are damn near all foreigners.
>>153720707even Rondo tryin' to get that
>>153717040lmao this cuck is massively butthurt about pistol pepe
>>153720707make one on a mexican website or something, pablo
>>153720750he's a real atlanta nigga in a league full of foreigners and corny niggas like Lebron/Tatum. People are desperate for soul

>PLAYERS IN MUH 90s NEVA EVA TRABELLED!!!!!
>>153721570>atlantathe gay black town that also wanted a magic city night for the hawks?
>>153721613LeBron would knock Jordan the fuck out
>>153721777Zero chance of that happening.
All of NBA twitter coming together to condemn Luke Kornet for not wanting to promote a strip club was not in my bingo card.
>>153721562>This retarded American thinks people from Spain are MexicanStay in school, kids
>>153721963It came off as infantilizing women and a total disregard for Atlanta/black culture
>>153722021>black culture
fuck Luke Kornet! I was trying to take my 9 year old daughter to magic city night. She needs to know our heritage and culture
My city being bombed but im worried about my goat curry's knee
>>153722105you named your goat curry's knee?
atlanta having a strip club night at a basketball game is like a west virginia sporting event having a fuck your sister night. Thankfully luke kornet saved you blacks the embarrassment
>>153722021>strippers shaking their ass and titties is "black culture">no you don't get it bro, this NEEDS to be at a basketball game!!!Good lord.
Atlanta is such an embarrassing place
>>153722150Not only that, it's like having a "Fuck your sister night" and when someone says it's dumb, sperging out and saying it's "White culture". I guess that's one of the main differences, we don't flaunt the worst parts of ourselves as integral to our culture.
>>153722201hey brother, fucking our sisters has been apart of our culture for hundred of years. Quit being racist towards whites if yee know whats best fer ya
Tingus Pingus with syphilis
>>153720659Based Horford
>>153722201is there an entire legal industry around fucking your sister that's deeply ingrained in a major city's culture? What is we talkin bout
>>153722260This reminds me when my friend wanted me to go to a strip club with him, free of charge and we would have gotten VIP+ since he knew the owner. I told him no and that clubbing is a waste of him. Ever since then I think he suspects I’m gay ajd talks to me less as a result. Mind you. I never speak to women.
>>153722260Although the "muh poor women" reasoning is gay, yes celebrating a strip club as an integral piece of your culture and identity is retarded. Doubling down to extend that not only to being integral to the culture of your entire city, but of African American Identity makes it even more embarrassing.
>>153722291>deeply ingrained in a major city's cultureThe fact that you can say this with a straight face is embarrassing, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're just trolling and fuckin around based on how you're typing.
Are you allowed to masturbate at the Atlanta Hawks stripper night? I don't see the point of attending that kind of suggestive and provocative entertainment if you're allowed to masturbate, just seems cucktarded. why would anyone want to have a simulated cock blocking?
>>153722322Just about every hooper who talks about atlanta talks about magic city. It is bball and city culture. You fags pearl clutching doesn't change that. If you don't like it then don't watch nor support the hawks or atlanta in general which none of you dudes did anyway
inbreeding and fucking our family is deeply ingrained in west virginia culture, brother. We need a fuck your sisters and cousins night woohoo
>>153722334I think in the spirit of the rich and creative legacy and culture of Atlanta, the halftime performance should be two gay black dudes fucking at center court while strippers blow dudes in the bathroom stalls for $50 on CashApp.
>>153722361>hooperoh well if basketball players do it, then the families and people of atlanta do it as well. Fucking retard
>>153722334youre not allowe dto masturbate in a strip club itself you shut in buffoon
>>153722361Every single athlete fucks around with an ungodly amount of loose women, and hits up every major club in town when they roll through. To know it is one thing, to acknowledge it is another, to publicly advertise it and claim this is integral to your culture and identity is absolutely braindead retarded.This shit doesn't happen in Vegas, a city known for gambling, sex, drugs, and every other form of degeneracy.>It is bball and city cultureAgain, it's absolutely embarrassing to try to legitimize this. I'm not saying that these guys can't go fuck strippers and get lap dances, they're young rich mother fuckers of course they're gonna do that. If you can't see how ridiculous it is to run a game night around it, then I don't know what to say. It's not "Pearl Clutching", it's just embarrassing.
golden state should have a chinese heritage night where they serve dogs. Who are they to deny my chinese family culture?
>>153722404If Atlanta was really being represented, they'd have a "Down Low" night.
>my hawkgods fleece the warriors and have a night celebrating the baddest bitches >/nba/ decides to become christian conservatives
>>153722420I bet you'd call a black man who doesnt approve of stripper night at a nba game an uncle tom too kek stay goy
nah wemby really set luke up with that reddit feminist post lmao
>>153722420The Warriors really traded away a potentially great young talent in a blatant salary dump to....do nothing. What are they going to do with that salary they're gonna clear up? Sign some more Buddy Hields? Draymond and Curry aren't going anywhere, and Butler's fucking useless. Even all three of them at full strength would be a 2nd round ceiling, and that's wildly generous.The Warriors at this point exist to be a retirement home for Curry and Green. They got theirs, and they don't give a fuck anymore. They'll play out the next couple/few years, be anywhere from the 6-10 seed, and lose in the first round of the playoffs if they manage to get past the Play In. If the organization had any balls they'd offload everyone, get whatever the hell they can for them, and try to rebuild. But instead they'll spin their wheels with what they got, and then when Curry, Green, and Kerr all damn near simultaneously retire they'll be back to being the dregs of the league.
Boston is having a beat your wife night to honor Irish heritage
>>153722450>antisemitism in an nba thread of all things
>>153722479Nah bro Denver is having a brothel night to commemorate the rich whoring heritage the city had back in the old West days.
the Heat are having a cocaine night to honor the cocaine culture that is DEEPLY ingrained in Miami
Gay niggas be salty as hell.
none of this other stuff is legal but it would be based if it was
The Golden State Warriors are having poop on the court night to celebrate San Francisco's shit on the street culture.
>>153722533>if you think a city saying ghetto strip clubs are an integral part of their identity and culture is stupid, you want a penis in your ass or somethingNothing says "Atlanta" like getting head during a private dance from a stripper with a C Section scar.
>>153722296Are you actually gay?
I hear the knicks and nets are having a bomb palestine night
Indiana Pacers are having a KKK knight to honor its rich white supremacist heritage.
>>153722591YES and who the fuck are you to stop us from celebrating our culture??
How are they so mid?
>>153722619The Working Man's team. Clocks in, wins 10 games, loses 10 games, clocks out. Nothing more, nothing less. Does his 8 hours and goes home. Shows up on time, leaves on time. Does exactly what he's paid to do, nothing more and nothing less. Truly the team for the Blue Collar Man.
>>153722470guys I just really REALLY wanna blame wemby for this you know I'm right
>>153722671wemby using his monk powers trying to find his friend. He has no time to think about american whore night or whatever
>>153722619Thay are not great at anything but also aren't terrible in any aspectactually a balanced team
>>153722619The best player by far out of a four year run of top 6 picks being HorfordGetting a potential bust in Sarr after winning the lotto in a bad draft classAtlanta not being a FA destinationAnd of course passing on Luka for Trae
>>153722737why would atlanta want a white guy?
my boy dylan harper with the participation trophy
>>153722737why is Atlanta not a good FA destination?
>>153722755because if enough people say something others start to believe it. In reality though atlanta is a fine destination and has landed quite a few high level FAs, but for the most part they never have money and/or go all in on the wrong guys
>>153722746Matt Ryan got them an MVP, and very close to a championshipI'm sure the fans would warm up to Lemon Pepper Luka as soon as they start winning
>>153722755It's has never been a cool city. Athletes usually go to the usual cool cities like LA, NYC, Miami, San Francisco, or one of the Texas cities
>>153722781atlanta fans still prefer mike vick over matt ryan
>>153722786atlanta is basically the blackest major city in america. it's also a top 3 destination for indians, who often like to cosplay as black people

HAWKS WONT BOW DOWN TO THE CANCEL MOB!!! THEY ARE GOING TO PROMOTE A STRIP CLUB TO KIDS!!! STUNNING AND BRAVE!!!https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1rk43a4/griffin_senyek_hawks_stand_by_magic_city_monday/
>>153723121based
>>153723121it's a promotion for one of the owner's pet projects, they were never going to cancel it lol
>>153723121BASED HAWKS
>>153723121>WONT SOMEONE THINK OF THE HONKIN CHILLIN!Children now see so much shit on the internet you really think a promotion that features 0 actual strippers is going to be over the line? The team's dance team is probably the most promiscuous thing theyll see all night. That's if theyre not sitting next to some barely closed slut in the stands to begin with but of course that's apparently different. Even when I was a kid we had shit like family guy we all watched when we shouldnt have been. The promotion is literally wings and a concert.
>>153723121I just find it funny that leftist trannies were mad at him because you can't talk negatively about prostitution being sold to kids,(because they're all tranny prostitutes) but a 3 year age gap is pedophelia or whatever
>>153723161damn what happened to tyler1
>>153723121/nba/ decided we’re all Karens now
>pretending strip clubs, things that are toned down versions of brothels, things that have existed forever is the same as actual prostitution I actually cant with some people. Censorship is bad except when it for some reason is. Should never bend the knee except when you should I guess. Fuckers never make any sense.

cant wait to take my 3 daughters to magic city night! I hate conservatards and christians!
>>153723184i agree, the cheerleaders should show butthole at the game
Are Cleveland actually playing with 4 guards and Allen rn?
>>153722748lmao at Cooper Kwabb for losing the ROTY trophy to a guy he went to Duke with and who was a lower draft pick. If you're #1 pick and you don't ROTY then you're a bust flat out, theres no excuses that can excuse that. #1 pick is supposed to be the best. Duke would've gone to the finals last year if Knipple had been given the last shot instead of Cooper Kwabb

Cade is a Trump supporter FYI
Don’t ever mention maxey and edgecoom in any backcourt conversation ever again. These dudes do nothing but chuck and pray
>>153723953We (ball knowers) been knew that. Early in the season I did a scout of basically every on the rise guard. And quickly learned that Maxey is not it. Before, I coped that Maxey default to such isolation heavy forced shots basketball because the team is just dumb and suck at movement and screens. But I'm thinking more and more that its just him. I should have known with how reactive and conditional his playmaking is, but I didnt value playmaking enough at that time yet
>pistons moan and bitch to refs whole game>late in the game now they refuse to call anything for the cavsits great how this shit is rewarded

what happened to embiid why is he dead again
I think the nba is dead
Why didn’t DET take their final timeoutThey had 1.2 seconds or something remaining wtf One three and a foul and it’s a tie
Pistons really let Dennis Schroder go and brought in a guy who put up 2/1/1
>>153724105They said he had an 'oblique,' injury that he got during the Heat? On another note, so the spurts achilles heel is if they're not making 3's they ain't winning shit? Is that it? I'm just getting ready for the playoffs as a spur fan.

>>153724127that's a lot of frauds
My hornies will finally be over .500 when they crush Boston tomorrow
>>153724143Harden sure but Mitchell is one of the best playoff performers in the league. We're talking about a dude with 60+ playoff games played before age 30 and top 5 in playoff scoring average in history.
I wish Edey were healthy, he was fun to watch. Unfortunately, he is likely going to be injury prone his entire career

holy fuck im embarrassed to be a sixers fan not even the nets lost this bad to the Spurs a week ago Jesus
Sixers really need Embiid to do anything in the playoffs. VJ is a rookie, Paul George is a depressed druggie, Grimes is overrated, MCcain is traded, and Maxey is a small guard playing 40 minutes
bruh we gotta just call this game at the end of the 3rd
>>153724210what is catan im black it must be some white people thing
>>153724290You wouldn't understand
>>153724254Ben would never let this happen
What the fuck do the heat do? Why are their role players so shit or disappointing when they leave their system?
is vj gonna be ok
>>153724330he passed away
>>153724127Its just funny that Harden can get away with being inefficient and having less assists, because his assists are more "valuable" by no real merit of his own, but by the sheer fact that hes almost always playing with 3 other 40% 3 point shooters, and decent roll decision makers in craig porter jr and evan mobleyand people are going to act like harden just changed this franchise. Ill admit, their defense has been surprisingly good as of late.

Raptors suck
how many gaems until based paul george comes back?
damn
>>153721654It's not that they never travelled, it's that when they did the refs would actually call it more than 1 out of every 100 times

>>153724482Agreed. And it was a lively, fun theater atmosphere if you saw it with a full theater. I went a few times, once or twice under the influence
Why did the Sixers get rid of McCain again? OKC is a significantly deeper team than them and are having no issue giving him meaningful minutes
>>153724505taxesyou now remember the 6ers also cut Isiah Joe.
>>153724505bad management
jaylin with another huge game
>hornets vs celtics tommorowWho we got?
I want to root for the hornets so bad, but every single time ive tried to watch them against a good team, they've looked like the exact kind of team their record suggests, and not more.
>>153724505There are teams that are very “don’t get too expensive” motivated. Those teams tend to make moves that hurt them to save money
>>153724257They are doing so well because they're the best team, at least when healthy and all starters play.
why does nobody talk about how ass fox is btw
>>153724467They would call travels well up into the Jordan era on players who were cutting or on fast breaks when they would take a step before dribbling. Now Wembanana or Geeanus can go from one end of the court to the other on one dribble by catching the ball on the run, taking one dribble, take 2 steps during a giant overexaggerated "gather", and then taking 2 more steps towards the rim. They used to call offensive fouls on dunk attempts and drives all the time. It's much easier to score when you're allowed to shove defenders and pick up the ball and willy-nilly run around the court before setting your feet and shooting.
goddamn, spurs took that knicks loss personally and went full nash on the sixers
AWOOOOO
>>153724533Their current lineup is 19-2 when starting together and they've beaten most playoff teams. What are you talking about?
>>153724554>Yes I tell lies on the internet
>>153724564retard. kys.
>>153724564These win stewards don’t mean much. Clippers had a similar one earlier this year. Warriors had a similar one after getting Jimmy Butler last year. Hornets will still get assblasted in the playoffs.
I can't stop drinking and bangin
I'm sick and tired of these Toronto raptors
>>153724603Weren’t they expected to be shit by most pundits? Them being a solid playoff team is ahead of schedule
paris hilton selling burgers now?
>>153724587They aren't just barely winning, they are dominating. They also have the highest win differential when compared to any other starting lineup. I don't think they're competing for the chip or anything this year but they could make noise in the playoffs depends on what seed they get
>>153724608Not being able to beat any good team is extremely frustrating
>>153724595We don't blame you Porzingis

i dont even like lebalco but crazy how hes still the best player on his team at this age
what killed Queensanity?
>no chance that's what you got
>>153724833Zion returned and he and Zion can't really work together.
legods team
>>153724782Pippen was better than Clyde. And the Bulls also had the best roleplayers and GOAT coach and GM to yes.
>>153724782Pippen is a better fit with a dominant scorer. Jordan and Drexler would’ve butted heads because they are both great scorers. Pippen is like if Draymond Green could give you 19 ppg
>>153724868You’re underrating Clyde. He led 2 teams to the final and won a chip as the 2nd option with hakeem
maybe if we all root for the smellicans they will defeat the lakers

>>153724855kek let luka chuck now theyre about to lose to the pelicans
I don’t think it’s possible to build a championship contender around luka. Maybe if the other 4 players are all nba defenders who never need to touch the ball and shoot 45%+ from 3. Maybe.
smellicans win while lebum is the only player doing anything on the lakers into total media meltdown would be so funny please make it happen
luka magic
How the fuck do you trade for Shitzingis and not know he has AIDs?
>>153725180If only there was a blueprint that could showcase that
lebron should unnironically shoot luka
>>153725188L M A O
>>153725180You just need a better version of 2024 MAVS. Lob threat high motor defensive Cs.(Hayes but better). Secondary scorer/playmaker who can get their own shot (Reaves). Assortment of 3nD players.
>>153725188he thought he was kyrie
>>153725196The mavericks got btfo in the finals and the west had a down year. Also luka isn’t close to the player he was even 2 years ago
go pelicans
>that one year those dusty ass niggas were celebrating that they didn't have to play in the play-ins>just to come right back to being a play-in team
>be ref>be bad at job>punish others when you fuck them over

are we gonna have a special edition laugh at the lakers thread if they lose this
>>153725232kyrie was the 2nd option
>>153725224the suns probably arent good enough to push them out of the 6 seed to be honest
>>153725238I dont have to because Kyrie didnt do shit in the finals which is why they lost since luka was a fraud that got carried by kyrie to the finals
>>153725228>He got to a championship this way
HOW IS HE ALLOWED TO JUST STICK A SHOULDER INTO A MOTHERFUCKER TRYING TO BACK PEDAL AND GET FT HES NOT EVEN TRYING TO PRETEND TO BE SHOOTING
Lebron just commits offensive fouls every drive
>>153725245It's not so much the Suns have to be good enough to push them out of the 6th seed, as it is the Lakers being dog shit enough to drop out of 6th seed.>>153725242For what? Anyone with a brain knows the Lakers are frauds that aren't winning jack shit. They're stuck in limbo they can't rebuild with Luka because Lebron is still there and they have no real assets to actually contend. They're just biding their time until LeOld retires.
>>153725259he in his bag nigga shiet
>>153725141The Austinsanity run is over
uh oh bawb melty
how the fuck was that a foul? queen was standing straight up not touching him

why is reaves going for that foul with ayton right behind him lmao
>getting blown the fuck out by the pelicans

You know what, Zion is still entertaining when he's focused
Can't wait for the Lakers to get rid of LeCancer & LeMakeAWish Jr and fire JJ Reddit on the same day. Can't believe they have the audacity to raise ticket prices 47% with this garbage team
The lakers are so soft. Every team knows that if you play hard against them at some point they will quit. The wolves exposed this group last year
>>153725321No, the Wolves didn't expose shit. The Lakers just had no real center to run a competent offense with. Thanks for telling us all you don't know shit about basketball though thank you
lebron tried to jump from too far and got blocked by the front of the rim
AAAAAAAAIIIIIIIEEEEEEEE
sixers bros...
HOW IS THAT AN OFFENSIVE FOUL BUT NOT THE LEBRON ONE WHATAND THEYRE CHECKING FOR A FLAGRANT WTF
>>153724643Who used to be a model
>>153725327I hope you’re not implying that ayton has fixed the problem
>>153725340>YOU KNOW THE PLAN
>>153725332then bricked both free throws lmao
>>153725348Why would anybody who knows basketball think Ayton solved the problem?? The Lakers coaching staff is ass and the roster is ass and most importantly the guy getting paid $56 million to be a lame duck 42 year old waste is ass
>>153725363ayton would have been good if they still had AD

>>153725449Fraid so
lakers big 3 with 17 turnovers yikes
We gon talk about how trash Reaves has been after all that hype he was getting early season for playing high usage without Lebron or Luka? Or how long is the excuse going to be "hes coming off injury"?
>>153724482>still no official blu-ray releaseWhat the fuck Coppola
>>153725492good reaves only happens without lebumlebum is back so he's reaves again
>>153725492Reaves and Luka play well together when they have a competent front court. A PF who can't be bothered to play defense and only cares about his stats is a bad fit next to them
>>153725492He's useless when he isn't getting his free throws
>>153724665That's a man
>>153725492reaves became expendable the moment they got luka, luka does the same exact shit as reaves except betterwhy the lakers didn't aggressively shop reaves i don't understand, now they're gonna get stuck holding the bag paying the guy $40M+ when he ain't worth that
>>153720693Giddey leaving he wanted a long term commitment but they forced him to sign a minimum deal.welcome to Miami

What's the Kangz plan for the future? That team is miserable any way you look at it.
>>153725588Jeet head vivek is raising ticket prices next season (no, really) he doesn't give a fuck
>>153725588be irrelevant. Don’t cause any problems for the league. That’s all the nba wants from sacramento
>>153725212mavs lost because kyrie disappeared and tingus pingus had his only stretch of healthy games in the playoffs
>>153725426lakers are one of the few half decent commentators in the league, they actually call them out and praise other teams on the regulartry watching the thunder or god forbid the warriors commentators and the difference is like night and day
>>153724981kek what game was this?
>>153725527reaves is good but he unironically needs to be a sixth man/gnobili type guy and come off the benchhe works best as a second wind for the offense and late games in the clutch when he has his shot going, starting him and luka doesn't work because they're both ball dominant playmakers
>>153725614The Magic probably have the best local commentators I've heard
>>153725614Nah they're miserable and boring
>>153725536giddey not worth allat kek
could you use those as handlebars you think
>>153725675I need need NEED a big booty baller gf
>mfw the Hornets are finally a serious organization and are beating up shitty teams
doing some ball watching of the 2024 easter conference first round playoffs game 6, and this game is a perfect microcosm of my developing basketball philosophy, might do a whole write up on it here.its perfect, because it shows how a player can score 50 points and still lose their team the game and/or lead to a stagnant offense.
it must be so fun to be like the 4th or 5th best player on a shit team that no one cares about and you have literally no pressure on you but youre still going to get a 8-12 year long career
>>153725395forgot ayton was a number 1 pick. he was supposed to be an embiid kinda guy, not clint capela
>>153725701They beat up some good teams too. It's why I think they can actually do something in the playoffs.
>>153725701retards said lamelo needed to go btw

Is there some sort of drama happening in the wnba? I've never watched any basketball related content on youtube, but out of nowhere the algorithm is force feeding me drama clips of a white girl and black girl beefing with each other.

>>153727070OKC will pay McCain and Ajay Mitchell $7.5mil next year after two teams gave them up for nothing, that’s what’s impressive
>>153727082Yeah Presti is a genius. I still think that that trade wasn't bad for the sixers though
sixers sistersliterally what do we do now
>>153727154Wait till Embiid comes back healthy
>>153725779>>153725794He doesn't stay healthy and he's a chucking faggot. It's hilarious that you mouthbreathing faggots think that regular seasonbabbies having a decent run (mostly against shit teams) are gonna do anything in the playoffs. Philly was a much better team and we watched those shitters fall apart in the playoffs every year. Same with Toronto. Same with Cleveland. Same with Phoenix. Same with both of those shitty ass LA teams. Regular season means fuck all but please screencap this so I can laugh at you faggots when they get BTFO.
>>153727164that will never happen
Does any teams’s fans actually hate Harden despite him repeatedly forcing trades?
mccain got traded cause he's zesty as fuck not because he's a bad basketball player. if he didn't paint his nails nobody would give a fuck about nis his tiktok account but bring that gay shit at every practice every game gets tiresome
Daryl Morey was reportedly looking to add Kawhi Leonard to the Sixers at the deadline, per @KevinOConnor “Executives have said that the Sixers were actively making calls pre-deadline, though nothing seemed remotely close. Some sources suggest that Morey was star hunting with Kawhi Leonard being a name that was connected to Philly. But nothing happened. So Embiid, Maxey and the team saw McCain get dealt, the tax get ducked, and no pieces brought in to help.”https://x.com/thedunkcentral/status/2029208524727652475?s=46
>>153724624>faking sick to suck on dem tittiesLegend
>>153727225speaking of kawhi, wasnt the aspire shit supposed to be cleared up after the allstar break? Is silver still stalling?
Once King James leaves the Lakers next season, let’s see how far these bums will actually go. Luka, Reaves can’t carry a bag of groceries, definitely can’t carry a team!
>>153727217Morey doesn’t think this team are competitors so they are ducking the luxury tax. He was also a bit redundant with staggered minutes for Maxey/Edgecombe. Still a bummer and it felt like they sold low.
>>153727244TRVTHNVKEthese faggots got a rude awakening coming when da goat leavesmeanwhile the team he goes to gonna win da chip for rang #5
>>153727244Luka likes groceries though
>>153727217Everyone liked that zestyboi
>>153727217Everybody in the locker room was fucking him so I don’t see the problem
>>153727217>>153727255He's 6'2 and can't drive, pass, or defend. Not a valuable archetype
>The Lakers are actually going to build a team around Luka and Reaves
What would you do in this situation?
>>153727334Some remarkable skulls in this image
>>153727328hes a 6'3 shooter.
>>153727217Wait are you unaware of the role of team cumdump? He actually added more value to the Sixers this way. I'm perplexed they didn't move Maxey in the summer or especially by the deadline with Edgecombe popping off. Maxey will never be worth the money - i'd attach assets to get rid of paying him. Adam silvers nba requires you to give a player a $170m contract to any decent player you develop
>>153726234Give Kawhi a lifetime achievement MVP over these bums if he makes it to 65 and has the Clips over .500
LeBron James is the ALL TIME LEADER in points without being the All Time Leader in Field Goals Made!!! Let that sink in!
>>153727350>he's an inch taller in shoesWell that changes everything
>>153727328only person in this thread that knows ball, only reason mccain works on OKC is because of the type of personel OKC imploys, its virtually an entire team consisting of 3 and D wing level defenders, even though theyre mostly small ball. It allows McCains weaknesses to be covered for, and his strengths to fit in seamlessly.He was shit in Philly. I remember so many philly fans telling me he should get the ball more or play PG and I'd watch him, waiting every time to see that PG instinct or spark, but no, he just spotted up and shot the ball or drive and faded away, or drove and botched a layup because hes small and young and doesnt know how to slip those by yet.I'm not even against McCain. Watching Philly and watching that stagnant Iso ball offense soured me on Maxey, and I coped for a long time that the team instilled bad habits in him and he wasnt at fault. But he is. Maxey is a limited playmaker too, a bad defender off ball, but racks up a lot of steals because hes athletic and gambles. But he scores a lot, and this team has nothing else to believe in so he gets an understandable pass for his problems.But people are going too far giving McCain more credit than he deserves for simply getting to a team that covers for him perfectly and lets him do what hes fine at. I guarantee you he does not touch the playoffs unless he somehow takes a leap from now to april
>>153727392it does actually.
>>153725189AIDS is considered a positive by the San Fagcisco team
knowing the names and lore of fringe ballers who dont matter, like McCain, is weird.
>>153725212When the Lakers got Luka everyone agreed that Luka was just hanging around waiting for LeBitch to retire so they could put together a good team and win rangz and now its a year later, LeBitch is still on the team and ppl somehow expect the Lakers to be good. Why did everyone forget the initial assessment so quickly? Trust the plan, this is LeBitch's last season as a Laker and Luka will have a minimum of two rangz by the end of the decade.
>>153727393Yeah I think I said at the time of the trade that OKC is the best context for him. He's a good backup for Joe and is on a cheap contract, so it made sense for OKC, but yeah I don't imagine he'll play much in the playoffs>>153727400No it doesn't. He still can't score 2s, pass, or defend
>>153727334It would take at least 10 people to stop me from tearing that faggot to shreds if I was him. I like Duren too but putting his teeth on the floor would've been worth the 10-20-30 or even 40 game suspension.
>>153727304little debbie snack cakes aint groceries
>>153727351>Maxey will never be worth the moneyThe fuck are you on about? He's averaging damn near 30 a game...they need that scoring and playmaking especially since they know that Embiitch will inevitably end up sharing a hospital room with AlwaysDisabled. And you clearly can't fucking depend on PCP since he's played like pure dog shit the last 2-3 seasons. If there was a contract that they needed to move off from it was PGs but they can't since he's smoking crack now.
>>153727418everyone agreed but then the klutch mafia paid propagandists showed up to shake shit upthey literally have his gay agent rich paul, who knows his career is totally over and he's a nobody soon as soon as lebum retires, on talk shows they're not being discrete about it at all
>>153727334I'd never heard of this 'mushing' thing being the ultimate offense that deserves immediate death before this incident. Is it a black guy thing?
>>153727508>only black guys get mad when you place your hand directly in their face in the midst of a conversation
>>153727417It’s because mccain wants black kids to paint their nails just like him. The media will promote zest
>>153727417How would you even wind up on this forum if you don’t know the name of marginal players?
>>153727521Getting bitchslapped would be worse and more aggravating I would think. But the way people reacted this made it seem like the ultimate offense, when it just seems to be a 'get out of my face' motion.
>>153727334
>>153727535Meant to say in the midst of a confrontation, I don’t think it’s the biggest sin but I couldn’t see any man being alright with it
>>153727553duren looks too nice
>>153727535Getting bitch slapped and some dude mushing the fuck outta your face is one in the same. It's disrespectful as fuck. I mean touching a man's face in general is fucking weird if you're not his kid, his mother, or his girlfriend/wife. It's gonna sound crazy but punching someone in the face is less direspectful than mushing them. Mushing/slapping them basically means you don't even respect them as a man/threat to even need to use full force like punching them. Mushing someone like that is something you do when a girl is wildly flailing at you and you don't want to rock a female, so you mush her or grab her hands to stop her from hitting you. And I don't think it's inherently a black thing...I think if you went to a random bar and mushed a white dude like that in the face he'd tear off into your ass as well. It's a respect thing. The only thing worse than that would just be outright spitting in someone's face.
GOD DREAM
>>153727590good explanation. I could see how it would seem like you're calling the other player your bitch.
