Neckbeard bros. We finally have representation
yall know when the offseason starts?
>[Smith] With Luke Kennard in the fold for the Taxpayer MLE of $6.1M, the Phoenix Suns project to be about $4.9M under their second-apron hard cap. That should be enough flexibility for in-season moves. Suns roster is now at 15 players on standard deals.so i guess that's that then for the suns this summer unless a good trade happens later in the season
>>156021601Suns hoarding all the sharpshooters just for the love of the game
>Suns got Kennard>Rockets going for Smart>Spurs going for Hachimura>Lakers give Reaves the max and resign Bronny Are they stupid?
>>156021601They still need a point guard . Point book sucks.
>>156021535Their team is fill of untradable contracts, they can't really do anything right now. I think what will happen though is they'll get embiid playing well and looking healthy enough through the trade deadline, and then move him for draft capitol to a fringe contender desperate for a 'win now' move.
Raptors got Leonard
>>156021807that's overly optimistic for an Embiid trade. No one wants his problems
Poetl 4 embiid

>>156021807>$58 million this year, $62 million next year and $67 million player option for 2028-29 at 34 years oldno one is taking that on for at least 18 months
>[Charania] Free agent center Zach Collins has agreed to a two-year, $17 million contract extension to stay with the Chicago Bulls, sources tell ESPN.I remember when he was cooking in national championship vs UNC but couldn't stop fouling. never really got that much better and became injury prone. no idea why the bulls would keep him when there are minimum contract centers you could try out
>>156021535in 2029, when 38 year old Podcast P retires after his $56,586,670 player option.Hope it was worth it.
Lakers gon git Jokic
>>156022045at least he gave back some money this year for his 25 game drug suspension.
>>156021879You're probably right, but that's the only way I see the 6ers making significant roster moves this coming year.
>>156022025center's market is kinda dead especially on the cheaper side
>>156022025He's like a worse Chet Holmgren which is saying something because Chet is pretty average.
>>156022025bulls just trying to reach the cap minimum
kaGOD about to win another ring
>Wizzies not selling AD while his limbs are still attached>Wizzies not taking advantage of a lack of quality centers on the market>Wizzies watching washed has-beens go for young players and multiple unprotected picks>Wizzies loudly proclaim they're not even going to answer the phone on ADabsolute forever dumpster fire franchise
>>156022481>Close out game 7>Chet has 4 points and 2 shot attempts and 4 rebounds>Coach and GM say "b-but you didn't see his impact that didn't show up in the box score!!!" I can't IMAGINE a bigger panic cope than that for someone on a max contract.
>>156022802To be fair the only team who wants Davis is the Warriors and the only way the math would work would be to take back an38 year old Jimmy Butler who just tore his ACL, which is much worse..
>>156021933>Pacers vs Knicks Cavs and Giannis in MiamiJust like old times man
>>156022812coach cope was my favorite subplot this year
The Lakers have been obsessed with Walker Kessler for years man I just dont understand they treat this man like hes a top 5 center
>>156022802No one want's AD's problems. Teams like the Wiz are where you dump players like AD, not the other way around.
>>156023013His Dad's name is Chad and he's dating Miss America, need I say more?
>>156023013>rim running rim protector who's whitethere you go.
>>156022901If they were smart the wizards would be volunteering to filter bad contracts from cap strapped teams and stockpile picks and young players in return.
imagine what luka's thinking now
[Charania] Free agent forward Dean Wade has agreed to a four-year, $39 million deal with the Philadelphia 76ers, sources tell ESPN. Several contenders pursued the former Cavaliers forward, who has become an indispensable defending and shooting frontcourt piece.
>>156023447It's also a very very small sample size but he went 6 of 8 from 3 last year after being horrible at them to start his career. If he can hit the pick and pop at a solid clip he will be even more valuable.
>>156021535>>156023564
>>156023564goodbye oubre
>>156023674Grimes gone too, sad considering they 'chose' him over McCain, and now they'll end up with neither.
>hali/clarkefag silent as another NY team wins another trophy
>>156021724Kennard they can live without, smart and rui would be big losses. The only way to make sense out of the Bronny signing is assuming he’s gonna wear 23 now so they can offload jerseys
>>156023876>the hubris of a nepobaby to wear that number
>>156023768Philon will be a fringe starter over his career. I do hope justin edwards keeps getting better. had some good shooting nights and a dawg
>>156023876Rui isn't worth 20m a year or what he wants
>>156021724Holding on to bronny is smart since they can hold him hostage for picks when LeBron finds a team. Any team dumb enough to sign LeBron will be dumb enough to trade a first for bronny
>>156023876The idea of Rui is better than the reality.
>>156023564Let's go dwade!
>>156021724>0 finals since bubbleyes
>>156023564So Lebron's going to Cleveland right? That's why they're not resigning their role players
>NBA Europe bids reportedly top $1B as league plans 2027 launch across major cities>The league is expected to feature 12 permanent franchises in cities including London, Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin, Milan, Rome, Athens, Istanbul, Manchester, and others, with additional teams potentially filling promotion-style slots.>NBA deputy commissioner Mark Tatum said the league is “extremely encouraged” by the level of interest, calling it the “biggest influx of capital European basketball has ever seen.”>The project, run jointly with FIBA, is designed to operate as a new top-tier competition in Europe, with a regular season and playoff format and long-term plans to challenge the existing EuroLeague structure.no euro is gonna go for a franchise structured league that is jointly run by theNBA and FIBA when their footy club also does basketball
Patrick Williams has been a Chicago Bull longer than Stacey King, Kawhi on the Clippers, Ja Morant on the Grizzlies and Lamelo Ball on the HornetsLeBron on the Lakers
>>156024411he's going to leak fake stories all summer about interest in several contenders and sign with whichever garners the least disgust.
Everyone making moves but the Celshits :)
Lebrons easiest path to a ring is San Antonio. And he can be exactly the veteran power forward San Antonio needs. The need eachother But it won’t happen. I think the spurs culture is incompatible with LeBron and he probably doesn’t want to move out of Cali
>>156024557>whole team wiped out after a misfired SAM shoots them out of the sky>arena burns down over an unrelated soccer result>backup arena unusable due to a drone attack>racist chimp-outs about hijabs and poles>the refs are even more compromised because various mobs are holding their families hostage>the players are literally the dirtiest bastards to ever play the game
What's his backup plan if they strike out on both Duren and Kessler?
>>156024580One day he'll be freed from the Bulce and instantly go from inconsistent fuck up to solid 3&D wing contributor for a contender.
>>156024995Wait till the 2027 bonanza of free agents id assume
>>156021535The best offseason move the 76ers can do is hope the FBI arrest Josh Harris and force him to sell the team after being outed as a Epstein client. This will also apply to it being the best offseason move for NJ Devils as well. Washington Commanders would say too, but they have yet to realize how much of a dogshit owner Harris is after dealing with the dog diarrhea that is Dan Snyder for years.
>>156024936The perfect career ending move would be to go play for an obscure team like the Nets or something
I hate reading Zach Kram trad egrades, he's an egg head.
>>156024580As a Gator fan it makes me smile seeing yet another Seminole suck in the NBA
>>156024348Bubble didn't count, it's zero Finals since 2010
>>156023564>indispensable >dispensed Incredible
It will be 2050 and Bronny James jr. will be in the league and bro will still be coping about the bubble
>>156024995He almost looks human
>>156026108He just posts what their agents tell them to. I can't imagine a sadder existence.
>>156021724AR & Bronny backcourt would go crazy
>>156022951> Gaycer fag still thinks the window is openkekaroo Heat, Knicks or Inceltics are booty blasting this team. >>156022959Analytically, he already won KWABOTY
>>156023876Bronny minutes are key to victory. Trade Puka and build arround him at the 1. Imagine the Kino Finals James Jr Lakers vs James Sr. Cavs.
so will bronfags give up the sport completely after he's retired?
WEGOTWHI
>>156021724>is rob pelinka stupid
>>156027075they'll switch to golf just to keep sucking his dick
yall know we're landing bronbron RIght and we're getting curry next season right?
>>156027075theyre already migrating to webmy
>>156027075they already moved onto wemby. there must always be balls to fondle.
>NBA millionaires with suddenly too much unsupervised free time, access to bullshit, and dipshit friends to entertain, never heed this advice.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRtqg_I3oEQ
>>156021724>LeBum Klutch PropagandaNah, we're under new ownership and we got the best backcourt duo in the league. Kessler is coming home, and we're also fixing our POA issues. Rui is fucking garbage, just a more athletic Luke Kennard who wants to shoot more. But without the dribbling or IQ. Marcus Smart was good for us, but he wants a 3 year extension which only a mark franchise like the Rockets are gonna sign at this point in his career.
[Jones] Unrestricted free agent Quentin Grimes will not be back in a Philadelphia 76ers uniform, according to league sources who spoke on condition of anonymity to describe ongoing deliberations.Yep welcome to the lakers
signing reaves lost them kennard, smart, lebron, and rui. a franchise killing signing.
Trust the plan. Get your forms ready, Pelinka is gonna shock the world.
The Lakers can't even sign anyone with all their cap space. LMFAO
>Free agent Bogdan Bogdanovic has agreed to a one-year deal with the Houston Rockets, sources tell ESPN.
>>156027165>>156027470skill issue not being able to blow multiple dudes at once. Tony Brothers blows his whistle and SGAy at the same time.
LeBron is coming to the Valley. His other son plays for the University of Arizona. Winning a ring for a ringless franchise would be worth more legacy points than teaming up with a washed rival and getting bounced in the play in. Bet on it.
>>156028567Knick legend bo bo the 28% 3PT clown
>>156028567I thought he's gonna join his fellow countryman nicholas joker. GG nuggies.
>>156028597>thinking LeBum is capable of winning a ring now, when at his peak he needed multiple Hall of Famers to help him
>>156028597awful, shooker is a loser
>>156028567thought for sure he was going to denver
>>156028597Bron is going to the wizards
>>156028526bring Westgod back to Denver
>>156028989This but unironically. They needed a spare ballhandler, some extra defense and a guy who wouldn't get bitched out by Jaden McDaniels last season, and Russ was all of those in 1 guy.
>>156028526They were 100% banking on resigning Bron. Lakers fucking suck lol.
>>156029161This, Westbrook wouldn't have taken that McDaniels shit lying down.
>>156029274Nah they played the PR game like they were but unless he was coming back on the minimum they weren't touching him. Luka's reign of terror begins
>>156029161I can't believe the nuggets made McTraniels look tough. What an embarrassment
>>156029500
Hey instead of arguing for five minutes can you help me identify my player comp>forward sized (relative to normal people, like 6'2 barefoot 205lbs)>unorthodox defensive style, but great against the 2-4 anywhere on the floor>elite blocker and def playmaker, strong in help>very inconsistent 3, consistent midrange, inconsistent at rim>okay handle>not much of a passer>subpar rebounder at size>slick offball movement>good feet and patience down low>white
>>156029529Adult man or emo teenage homo?
call me crazy but it appears as if the lakers aint getting nobody
>>156029422they have 60 mil in cap space and no one to sign
>>156029624no one wants to play with fatcic
>>156029663
>[Amick] Sources: Jalen Duren scheduled to meet with the Lakers again tomorrow, and strong signs they’re willing to go big with a possible restricted free agency offer.WE GON GIT DUREN
Raptors should seek shaedon sharpe and give up say rj barrett
LINKA GETTING DEMON DUREN OR DEMON KESSLER ARE YOU TIRED OF WINNING YET LAKECHADS?
>>156029529isnt this the dude whose car got taken from him? talk about bad defense
>>156029872>>156015305what did I say?
>LeBron is still jobless...WTF bros?Why has no one backed up the Brinks truck in front of Casa LeKing?
>>156029872move that bum Ayyyyton to PF
>>156029898I would prefer Kessler at C because he has at least shown a willingness to shoot 3's but Duren is more durable, which let's face it is going to be crucial since you can gaurantee Luka will miss at least 15 games each year.
>>156029872Wait, what about DominAyton?
>>156030012>Lakers gonna offer Duren the max to force Detroit to matchDelightfully devilish, Pelinka
>>156030096Bench big giving you a solid 15 minutes each night, not bad for $8 million
>>156030045he's going the full aaron rodgers, is going to drag this out for attention and hype
>>156030075Yeah, I agree. Kessler has a really high ceiling with Luka and AR especially. I would overpay for him over Duren every time but Duren's talent level makes it much easier to stomach. Lets also remember, Duren is one year younger than Yaxel Lendeborg so he also has some room to grow. I have faith Linka gets this done.
>>156030100>Either way, the Pistons are destroyedThank you, based Pelinka
>>156030177They'll just match whatever salary lakers give duren
can someone explain mexico vs ecuador in basketball terms?
>>156029872Lakers just signing a bunch of shitters around Luka lel
the lakers don't have any picks. they can't even tank hahahahahahahahahah
>>156030217which will be more than they wanted to, which will kill them financially, and they still destroyed their relationship with Duren.
Wait, are the Lakers going to let Rui walk?This can't be,I'd rather have Rui than Reaves.
>>156030228hornets vs nets
>>156029872so which is it Duren or kessler?
>>156030288>they still destroyed their relationship with Durenhuh? how? why?
we need to sign lowrywe need to sign j linwe need to sign ibakawe need to sign gasolwe need all these niggas back
>>156030301Rui is taking his talents to The Organization
>>156030323because the vast majority of players are straight bitches and if you don't offer them a max immediately they think the team hates them so they will slack off if they are forced to come back.
sixers bros...
Anamaria is lucky she left Luka before this off-season. Imagine the drunken rage when he finds out his team with reave is Bronny Ayton Grimes & Duren
>>156030323his poor playoffs, resulting in exposed holes in his game, leading to the widely reported distance between his personal valuation and the team's valuation of him, which in turn Langdon refused to overpay for unrealized player development, offering a figure apparently so far apart that Duren reacted by exploring sign and trades with the Kings and Lakers?the whole story.
>>156030301Pelinka is retarded if you haven't realized by now
I would take Druen, Fox, Chet. All the guys who just had a bad playoff and everything thinks they are bums.
my rapties are fucking retarded
>got banned from reddit's nba board years ago because I kept talking about how much Adam Silver sucked as commissioner and that it was clear he would ruin the league with his spineless leadership when everyone was blowing him for the covid bubble and donald sterling>now everyone over there hates himi feel vindicated
>>156030454is he Woody Johnson retarded, evaluating players based on their 2K ratings? or is he John Lynch retarded, asking ChatGPT to do the scouting for him? or is he Jim Dolan retarded, thinking about jersey sales and all star posters? or is he...
>>156030301Larper forgot how trash Rui has been all season lmao
>>156030417>>156030448okay, thanksI thought it was normal for unrestricted free agents to talk to other teams to get their price jacked upGuess I was wrong.
nuggets are working tirelessly to do absolutely nothing
>>156030494aura
>>156030501he's jeanie-buss-nepo-hire-retardedfirst thing walter had to do after buying the team was can his ass
>>156030494Same here but it was about race realism
The biggest name Rob Pelinka ever drafted is Bronny James
>>156029898Kessler seems like the perfect fit. His injury this season was from his college years so it stinks of Jazz tankmaxing and not a chronically injured thing.
>>156030494You problem called him a jew and that's why you got banned, stupid /pol/tard. Voicing you displeasure with him as a commisioner won't get you banned, but no-no words are auto bans..
WEGONGITMUMA
>>156030604Reddit allows antisemitism now
>>156030604i think anon is a gentleman and did nothing of the sort>>156030596>tankmaxingyou might be onto something with that
>>156030604>no-no wordsFaggot lmao.
>>156030620It depends on the board really. The big boards have auto bans for a ton of shit, I got perma banned from the NFL sub for citing an MIT story that said it didn't matter if you were 6 feet apart or 60 feet apart during covid.
>>156030627I think it's cringe but the big boards have filters that will auto ban you for certain words, it's sad. Anyone should be able to say anything.
LeBron James, you're a Washington Wizard.
>>156030604no, i didnt say anything about him being jewish or any allusions to it. just in any thread adam silver was brought up when everyone was blowing him and saying how hes the best commissioner in america, i would always rant against him and how spineless he is and how theyll be sorry in 5-10 years when the league turns to unwatchable shit under his rule. i got banned because they claimed i was being a troll repeating the same thing over and over all the time
>>156030604>self censoring Turbo cuckold detected
>>156030749I think you're misunderstanding me, I don't care what you call him but you have to recognize that reddit is very fragile and saying his crookedness is because he's jewish is an auto ban
>>156014513LeBeta only got Lakers one ring. While Kobe got them 5.
I've been hearing a Jaylen Brown for Jamal Murray swap.
Rui cannot move his feet on defense bro he is better off traded. It hurts because his shooting was so good but that was an anomaly
>>156030923>Rui cannot move his feet on defenseso maybe he should've got 45 mil a year like reaves lmao
>>156030953Retard
>>156030923>Don't sign Rui, he can't play defenseSo let's sign Reaves?
The Reaves hate is getting out of control. Just wait til next year niggas, I got all these screen caps..
>>156031021We've been waiting for years on that fool.He didn't do shit against OKCDidn't do shit against the wolves the year before that. How on earth does this guy deserve the size of the bag he got?
>>156027075They are just gonna LARP as fans of whatever NBA Europe team LeBron’s ownership group is gonna buy.
my boy austinz, still 28yo, he just needs more time
>>156031084>WeYou know nothing about the Lakers retard. Go fuck off to wherever LeBum lands in his retirement tour.
>>156031139Being a Reaves realist makes me a LeBum lover?I don't know about that take, anon.Honestly, I wasn't even thinking about LeLoser when I was talking shit about Reaves.I was just pointing out that Reaves isn't worth all that money.
If Duren really wants to be in Boston, why don’t they sign and trade him to Boston along with Aussar or Holland for Jaylen Brown?? Seems fair to me
>>156031192Don't care retarded faggot. You exposed yourself for not watching games if you don't think he got paid what he deserves.
>>156031203I saw every game Reaves played in the offs.But whatever.I'm just shocked, there's so much Reaves love.Wow...Like, really?
>>156031224He was playing on one leg.
>>156031224You're not funny either btw retard
>>156031247I don't see where I wrote a joke or made an attempt at humor...
draft picks have become worthless with shitty drafts and you cant even tank anymore. rapties fleeced them clips
>>156031202Celshits aren't going to send Brown to a same conference contender
>>156031256Your posts are as useless and boring as those thirdie seamonkeys desu, find something funnier if you wanna make it with the wolves bum
>>156031272why you so mad, bro?
will Luka's trade still be considered one of the worst ever if the Lakers don't end up winning a ring with him there?
>>156031341i mean AD could have stayed with them by now and it'd be worse because his injury issue has gone even worse
>looking for sign & trade news>90% of them are about a player resigning and LeRumours*yawn*
>>156031267InCeltroons aren’t gonna compete anyways. They were a 1st round exit. Tatum has already physically peaked. Derrick White is starting to trend downwards. At least Duren and Aussar would give them a more defensive identity while it also provides Detroit with a 1B for Cade
If Ant puts the word in, Lebron might become a Wolf.
>>156030953Bro was getting targeted on every single possession lmaohttps://x.com/HaterReport/status/2053300423767826513
Anudda year of my nvgget doing nothing
>>156031701More like WHALEhorst, amirite?
Fox to Raptors when, they need a decent guard and Kawhi has already proved he can carry chokers
They’re going to force luka to play with ayton for another year
>>156031778deep down he knows he deserves it
>>156031778They were playing well together before LeBron came back.
>>156031778He's going to be the sweetener in the S&T we do for Kessler or Duren lad
Duren is ass, it's the type of move the Lakers would do thinking they've come out victorious.
Damn
>>156031778DominAyton finna ball now that Lestatpad is gone
>>156031813Duren is a prospect
>>156031798Yeah but he’s a retard still dont fall for it>>156031800Lakers have no assets, i doubt they’re getting either of those
>>156031813>>156031853Duren was a legitimate All-NBA caliber player last season who got humbled by his 1st postseason experience. I don’t think he’s worth a MAX necessarily, but you’re not gonna find Centers that hit the market that fit the mold of what teams need in a big man in the modern NBA
>>156030661Freedom of speech isnt for goys
So the Lakers have no future and no present. Why not get rid of Luka?Same question for the Suns and Booker
>>156031935Suns are rebuilding on the fly. They've signed a few good players
>>156031341Dallas won the trade
>>156031935>Suns and BookerSuns owner doesn't mind spending money he's just bad at team building.
>>156031947>They've signed a few good playersThat's clearly not enough and they are wasting Book's prime>>156031992>he's just bad at team buildingClearly, nigga really thought KD would be a positive
>>156031935they have no picks lmfao
Luka for brown + picks
BI played so ass he got his ass traded even when he wanted to stay in toronto. just brutal
>>156027857>best backcourt duo in the leaguelol cmon you didn't even believe this as you typed it
>>156031224no, its some random kangaroo fucker who started claiming to be a lakers fan after the luka tradeanyone with a semi functioning brain knows that reaves contract was a massive overpay and doesn't make sense unless they plan to trade him later
>>156031935Suns have a better team than the Lakers at least. Lakers ownership group doesn't want to tank after spending 10b on the team
>>156032082For GOATwhi you do it everytime.
>>156032108You're welcome to name a better one
who will be acquiring the talents of one Russell WestGOD? I have only been watching the NBA for the last 14 years for him. I skipped last season since he was on a shit team.

>>156032221heat
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/nG0NDRJfq6QMake the call Ant.
>>156032481it's not much worse than a vet min for some other end of the bench bum, and by all accounts he seems actually serious about actually trying to develop into something
>>156032481Father of THe Year
>>156032581cool he can develop in the g league along with the rest of the sub 2ppg bums oh wait
kyrie for quickley and we sign bron
>>156032580>he thinks bron wouldnt fuck the team up
LeBron could have left way earlier but he stayed to guarantee his podcast partner and son get paid millions. What a fucking GOAT.
>>156032481
>>156032481Lakers should just dump him inverse to where Lebum signs, somewhere like the Kangz.
>>156032645>Wolves need a PF.>Lebron thinks highly of Ant.>backcourt of Ant and LaMelo two highly skilled YN.>Lebron would give Ant and others the experience to help compete for a ring.If we're keeping it real, He won't find a better team who has a real chance to win a ring next season than us.
>>156032925It would be fun as fuck to watch that team I won't lie
>>156032925im saying that the timbergods shouldnt lower themselves to playing himhe's washed
Lebron about to give Washington a ringJordcan't
if you're the team owner, what's the highest salary you can give for 41yo lebron?
>>156032925LeBum is completely washed.
lebron should go to pistons imo, let the young guys do the defense so lebron can just coast
>>15603300443 million
Met a girl who rejected me on tinder at the bus stop
>>156029626Why would Lebron even think to come to Toronto? I don't think it would offer him anything.

>>156033332No I chatted her up while drinking beer and she asked if I talked to her 2 days ago on tinder and apologized for being a bitchI hate women so much
>>156033331Yeah, idk about that. You can add a superstar to your team, but it dosen't mean it'll translate into actual success.
