Lebron should have gone to the Knicks, fuck it
kek tbey really made that nigga westbrook retire or do a humiliation ritual with the Kings. I wonder what he said to Lebron…
WembGOD will average 31/16/6 + 5.5 Stocks this season and win the MVP/DPOY enroute to a chippy
>>157967290Why do you blame westbrooks failures on bron?
wuffs
Is LeBron the reason why I’m a 22 year old virgin whos never had a gf before?
>>157967485well yeah u spend all the time u should be dating on defending him on the internet
>>157967485>22 year old virgin whos never had a gf before?I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this, especially today’s society
Curry really doesn't get enough credit for carrying the league through unlikeable fags like bron and kd
LeBron is the greatest to ever play

How fucking horrible is Philly that Lebron is willing to take a helicopter everyday just to never have to spend a second more time there than he has to.
Nets will go to the eCF. KAT extension will fall through and he will go to the Nets the next season where they win the championship.
>Free agent guard Ryan Nembhard intends to sign with the Denver Nuggets.
>>157967290he could've also signed with the wizards, and they at least have play in hopes at minimumretard just couldn't accept that he's washed
>>157971275Uhhhh have you been there? Philly is the only American city I went to where nobody smiles and everyone is out trying to scam each other or fight/steal
>>157971275he's living in nyc so he can spend all the time he's not required to be with the 76ers to beg the knicks to trade for him
>>157971421He’s a good playmaker, not sure why Atlanta waived him aside from the fact he’s tiny

Dread it. Run from it. KessLORD arrives all the same.
>>157972162he's played what, 7 games?no one wants him to succeed more than me, but there's no one that isn't thinking the lakers got fleeced for both picks and money on this
Sorry but I just won't reply to custers who don't know ball. Kessler played with the injury that kept him out last season his entire career and had surgery on it because Utah wanted to tank for DP. KessLORD will be the consensus third best C on the planet pretty soon.
>>157972181Lakers got fleeced, but Utah will still be cheeks and their pick swaps will be duds
>>157972181He was out for a shoulder surgery on his left shoulder because the Jazz were tanking

>>157968149Lighting + summer tan
>>157967285Hells no. He's a bigger liability than adding Brony to your roster. Let me break it down in very simple terms so LeBron felaters can understand it. What is more likely for a 42 year old athlete to do: A. win championship or B. blow an ACL?
>>157969284I guess she was trying tobget his pipe and he said no.
>>157971275They had a father son serial killer that looked this. Possibly active since the 1960s and nobody stopped them because it's Philadelphia and despite looking exactly like serial killers everyone in Philly looks and acts like this nobody stopped them (except by accident the boomer dad died last year).

LFG
Seriously why is Lebron doing this? Is he jealous of the attention Kobe got? Philly is like 1 hour from Penn Station by Acela.
>>157976031Lebron's not thinking about some dead rapist and he's not going to force the pilot to fly through low visibility conditions
I don't wish bad on anybody but imagine if LeBron and his daughter died in a fiery helicopter crash over the hills of Philadelphia.
>>157976031LeBron hates the fact that he's not making max money anymore so he's trying to gouge as much money as possible from his whitey owners by demanding private flights/helicopter rides.
>>157971643whats so great about nyc tho? Why can't he just live in some pennsylvania suburb
Luka about to destroy this league
>>157976425stop being a hick.
>>157971275He went to philly because his business partner jay z has stakes in multiple philly operations. That’s the red pill
>>157977000>Lakers - naw we're good>Knicks - defending champs so it's too obvious>Heat - Riley hates his ass>Spurs - naw we're good>OKC - naw we're goodThis was the most competitive team he could have gone to
>>157977065yeah the real red pill is not a lot of teams wanted Lebron
>>157977065um....the Timberwolves?
>>157977080The West is a harder road and LaMelo's style clashes with Lebron's.
>>157977065image if he teamed up with jokic in denver
>>157977065>Knicks - defending champs so it's too obviousThey Knicks didn't want him. When he became a free agent and Rich Paul was saying that every team wanted to sign him two teams came out and said they weren't interested. The Spurs and the Knicks
>>157977318Jokic would lose his shit and stand below a basket or something if he had to play with Lebron.
He’s right, you know

Bron playing with baby DWade & Young Kyrie.. this Sixers backcourt is gonna have some the craziest highlights we’ve ever seen
>>157977337ya we know. he got laughed out of LA then everybody collectively laughed at him, then he blackmailed jaylen diddy brown into getting him onto philly for a minimum
League just isnt the same without Vishnu
>>157977768He hasn't been "sharpshooting" in a couple years unfortunately.
>>157977580>leading play-in teams to the finals as the 1st option vs winning it all as a 2/3rd optionehh, obviously the latter is better for the sake of legacy but I still respect what jimmy did
An evil team will win the title this season, evil always wins
Pistons have removed "weight clause" from Jalen Duren's 5-year, $200M contract offer.(per @sam_amick, @HunterPatterson)fucking pussies
>>157976405imagine being such a shithole billionaires would rather fly to work than live there
>>157979002They should put in performance incentives instead. If he can't block 3 shots per game he loses 50% of the salary, and so on.
that nigga dlo got packed to china
>>157979149Those always backfire as the player plays for the stats and not to win. If you need clauses to keep a player engaged, then you shouldn't be giving him real money. It's up to the org to decide if the elite regular season was the real him with the playoffs just being youth and lack of experience or if the playoffs are the real him. Pistons are in a really shitty place because they need someone to play at the level he did in the regular season or they are going to sink back down to a playin team at best. But if they pay him big money and it turns out he's Ayton 2.0, they are just as sunk.
kawhi btfoing that smug pinoy has had me laughing for a long while now
bron in a philly jersey is such negative aura
>>157979149they lost all the leverage they have. this is the final offer they're gonna make that makes them look like they aren't begging. if he says no they're gonna be begging. he won completely.
>>157979002Jalen Duren would be the dumbest person on earth not to take it at this point. 200 mil guaranteed, take the fucking money. Thats more a human being can reasonably spend even after taxes.
they should just trade that nigga because he's Ayton 2.0
>>157979585I could easily spend 200 million on 2 million fumos
>>157979585he aint gonna take it. he's goin full jimmy butler. he feels disrespected so he's gonna kill everyone including himself.
>>157979696disrespeck blacks at your own peril.

>>157979585100 mil after taxes ain't shit. I could spend that in a month.

How can Sixers fans root for Lebron when he said he wanted to play for the Knicks and is literally taking a helicopter back to New York to live in New York?
>>157980492Easy. At 42 years old he’s the best free agent the franchise has ever acquired.
>>157980492They havent won a title since before bron was even alive
>>157980344kinda slow desu
>>157977065didnt Riles openly pine for him at a press conference?
>>157978849going to the knicks to try to win is actually big balls stuff, Karl stepped up.
>>157979433they should trade duren for the raptors crap, poetl and IQ
Folks forget Tim Duncan went 10-0 against Hakeem Olajuwon
Did Bron diddy D-wades kid?
LeBron’s legacy is secure, he can only improve in people’s personal rankings from this point on. If he wins in Philly we’ll stop talking about MJ all together
>>157977604
>>157980344i could whoop his ass easy unless he runs
>>157979585You don't understand, 200 million isn't actually 200 million in the NBA.>100 million to taxes>1 million for Gucci clothes and bags>5 million for mansion>2 million for cars>500k house for mom>90k car for dad>100k car for sister>200k HBCU tuition for sister>300k for ynsAll that done, you have barely anything left.
>>157979585He is being disrespected. Taking the QO plus the max that someone else will happily give him earns him $198m and gets him the fuck out of Detroit. A 1% loss of earnings for someone who is already a millionaire is more than worth being able to get out of an organization where you're working for an asshole you can't stand.Detroit has far more to lose here than Duren does. What they need to do is add 1 or 2 years of player options on the back end of the deal so that Duren can tell himself that he'll get his max payday after two good playoff years.
>>157981371zesty ah hell
>>157981371My god the aura radiating from this image
>>157981364>Detroit has far more to lose here than Duren does LOL. They already know hes a shitty playoff performer. THyre just trying to get a good trade offer for him
>>157981298you forgot player dues and that your agent/agency take a percentage
>>157981371This zesty down low frog looking nigga would suck Drake's BLC if he was asked to.
Everybody was acting like Duren and his agent were idiots but they’ve gotten exactly what they want despite his piss poor playoff performance
>>157981745speak on ovo again and I promise you im popping the shit out of you
>>157981795>they’ve gotten exactly what they wantWhat they want is a max. What they've been able to get is the same offer that was always on the table minus a weight clause that only existed so that it could be removed as a "win" for Duren in the negotiation.We won't know who actually won until tomorrow.
Why did the Pistons even put a weight clause on his contract? It's weird
>>157981974If you think Duren isn't worth a max now, wait until he becomes Fat Duren.
>>157981253no. people just don't like LeBron. It doesn't matter that MJ was forced out of the NBA for a season over gambling, it doesn't matter that MJ was a complete flop with Washington. It doesn't matter that MJ wasted three prime years in college at an age when LeBron was already getting MVP votes. It doesn't matter that MJ didn't do shit inthe playoffs in his first six seasons, until Pippen showed up. It doesn't matter that the Bulls made the playoffs without MJ in the season he was in exile. They like MJ because he was flashy. It's nostalgic.LeBron is fugly. His "signature" move is a dunk that anyone can do. Until he went to LA, he passed more than he shot. He collects more defensive rebounds than anyone else. Shooting is only his third-best skill, and he is the all-time leading scorer. He doesn't gamble. He is in outstanding shape every year. He is the most fit player on every team he has been on. He is happily married.People hate him.
>>157981974they can sense the rugpull. Nothing worse than a complacent big especially when they've already shown a lack of dawg
just realized Bron and Bronny gon wake up in the same house on Christmas and then go play against each other in an NBA game
>Weaknesses: Motivation level is one of the key... Duren is a major work in progress offensively, especially in terms of low post skill level…Has virtually no back to the basket game at the current stage, and heavily relies on lobs, rim runs and offensive rebounds to do the majority of his scoring..Loses effectiveness and tends to disappear the slower the pace of the game is currently…Fundamentals and footwork are behind his physical ability and athleticism; pre-determines what he wants to do when he has the ball and struggles when he has to improvise, leading to some awkward possessions…Shows a middling basketball IQ…Shaky touch around the rim and as a short range shooter, and tends to take fadeaways more than someone with his tools should right now…FT shooting needs improvement (62 FT%), not someone who would be trusted on the floor in a late game situation…Can become foul prone when matched with more savvy bigs defensively (2.7 FPG)Damn they had Duren pegged
>>157981371Nothing was the same first and Take care second.
>>157982141whats the over/over on whether Bronny plays over five minutes
Imagine going to work every day for years and becoming the consensus 2nd best person at your job in the whole world. Imagine your chick breaks up with you, gets together with your coworker, and berates you on social media in front of millions of followers when you break up, and your performance dips for a week.Now imagine that your boss uses that one week of poor performance as a basis to call you fat and rugpull you on that raise he promised.
>>157982272He’s not better than Vic or Jokic
>>157982141They don't know you exist. Get off their dicks weirdo
>>157982229He's gotta last 3 more weeks still
>>157981253I watched Jordan and Lebron's entire career.....there's a reason very very few people who watched both will say Lebron is better. Jordan did all his accomplishments with a much more closely officiated NBA. Only little zoomers rate Lebron higher than what the rest of us rate him at. That's why I never respect any zoomer's opinon on anything
>>157982357That’s why I’m glad your generation is dying out eventually not a single person on this Earth will consider Jordan better than LeBron
>>157982345is his contract not guaranteed?
>>157982427It is, but Lakers have 16 players on contract and have to get down to 15 by opening night
>>157982458so its guaranteed but if they cut him he gets it anyway? I knew their union was strong but damn
>>157982458pretty sure knecht is gonna throw to get cut. he's been wanting out ever since they tried to trade him to the hornets
>>157982458They should just cut the one who didn't go on Luka's whole vacation with everyone - imagine going through all that and being cut
You can tell by their depth the 76ers are the type of team to come together Year 1 and win a ring
Kobe never shot 50% For a single season and his career avg is 44.7 (20 years) Lebron avg 50.7 for his career Career high 56.7% (23 years)
>>157982385By the time that generation dies you will be 60 years old so good luck waiting for that. Also you are betting on the fact that after LeBron retires the next generations will all think he is the GOAT when in reality Klutch Mafia will slowly die, the brainwhashing from the media will wear off and even your generation will realize how much of a fraud he is. Eventually all we'll remember about him was how much he wanted to be like MJ but always came up short in many different ways
>>157982880You might as well have just told me you don’t understand basketball and saved me some time because LeBron has never lost an NBA championship he was favored to win
>>157982631Only one who didn't go is the new rookie 1st round pick and they aren't going to cut him lmao>>157982595Yeah. Lakers signed him to a long but min level contract right before LeExit so I'd be surprised if he was cut even if he's the worst>>157982607It's between Knecht, Bronny, and Hardy. Bronny is the worst but I feel like JJ hates Knecht and loves Lebron so it'll probably go down like that. Hardy has ass tier stats outside of exactly 3 point shooting and he plays the same spot as Luka/Reaves and the only one I haven't heard shit about during training camp so he's probably the stealth most likely cut. Ideal situation is they find a trade where they can send 2 guys out and only take back one but that's looking unlikely.
>>157982229He'll play long enough for a special streaming moment then back to the bench forever.
Lebron isn't the goat because "his" era has been nothing but the degradation of basketball and it's disgusting. He also hasn't won much despite his best efforts to stack the deck which should be noted way more than it is. His bitch ass contemporary trying to do the same thing and somehow failing more masks that
>>157982990knecht costs too much for a guy who doesn't want to be there, and he has 0 trade value, he's gone

"When you look at Gary Trent and what he's done for us in the last two seasons, and even before us in his young career, he's an elite shooter. I think one of five or six players to shoot and make the amount of threes he has as a reserve over the last couple years. Only 27 years old," Horst explained."He was big for us in playoff moments, so there's a big belief in Gary for what we think matters, and that's elite shooting in the NBA that's hard to find. It's something that Taylor (Jenkins) values, and I think he's even going to maximize more with us, so it was a great opportunity for us to do that, and we acted on it," he continued.
“I’ve never been apart of something like this. — I want to leave my mark. I want to know when this chapter is over, if I’m only here for a year, two or whatever it’s going to be I want to leave my mark”— Giannis Antetokounmpo (@5ReasonsSports)so glad we never signed this snakey cunt.

April 2027>I love Miami from the bottom of my heart, I want to retire here. Of course I have no impact on whether they trade me or not. But its important the team wants to win and I want to win too. A 44 win season is not good enough and I think some players dont try hard enough they only give 83% instead of 100. Im not refering to anyone in special.Did I mention I dont want to be traded?

>>157991435This nigga is forgiven for the finals. KDraftkings and LeFanduel could never.
>>157991435legoy finna fly his helo to texas and make wembitch kiss the ring
>>157991435this faggot likes to act like a pure ethical human but elbowed someone in the wind pipe because they were a bit rough with him :(((((fucking performative cunt.
>>157991435>Wemby added "Jordan is the GOAT btw. leBITCH not even top five"
>>157990276
>>157991874>respectfully throws it backtuff
>>157991636didnt he try to break a knicks players leg, act like a 6 year old when one lightly bumped him, choke away a 28 point lead in the finals, throw a pass into his teammates back in a clutch situation and then blame his teammate, and ran off the court after losing the finals instead of congratulating the other team, etc etc also in all his chest playing pictures he's never taking the middle so also a complete and total fraud in that arena as well
>>157991636>>157992479You can be right about one thing and wrong the other get that reddit mentality out of here
>>157992479>didnt he try to break a knicks players leg????
>>157992479>didnt he try to break a knicks players legjust the angle of the shot>blame his teammate???everything else he pretty much did do and you didn't note the worst of them being his temper tantrum response to physicality when he intentionally elbowed Naz Reid in the throat. though that did get the timbies to lay off of him slightly, so
a big man touching up dudes getting handsy is literally bball 101. Hate this soft ass era
>>157992561>>didnt he try to break a knicks players legno sense in responding to leafs
KNICKS ARE YOUR NBA CHAMPIONSREMIND ME HOW THAT MAKES YOU SEETHE
This is gonna be my first year watching NBA and I've narrowed it down between rooting for the celtics or the nuggets... Which should I pick anons?
>>157992777Just pick the Knicks retard. Boston are Denver are gay faggot towns
>>157992777pick philly. Everybody wins in this disney ass era and it's their turn
>>157992807>the islamic socialist state of new york>not massively gay
>>157992807>>157992831But Denver has the best European player and won recently and Celtics have the only British player starting this season and a long history plus it's literally New England
>>157992872then pick whatever. Denver is a sinking ship and boston has to make a move to be contenders again but you obviously don't care so choose whoever colors you like more or something
>>157992939Ok
>>157992869Nyc has woke politics but the heart of the fan base is white blue collar. Boston is literally a bunch of queers running around in pride flags
>>157992869muhumadani is actually getting shit done and got me side-eying every elected official in the country
>>157992872Spurs has the best euro player
>>157993158Not even close
>>157992777The Nuggets are cooked for the future but Jokic is fun to watch.Celtics always a solid team.
Niggas hatin on Duren because they are either too pussy to negotiate for a raise or too much of a shitter at their job to have any leverage. Duren's stand off has already gotten the Pistons offer millions of dollars higher.
>>157993450You're right.Wemby won 60 games and made the finals in his third year, Jokic has never done anything that impressive.
I'm from the future and Duren takes the QO and during his first game back tears both achilles and then they find blood clots during his physical
>>157994391It's a team sport unfortunately. If Jokic didn't have a bum ass Canadian as his second best player for his whole career maybe he would have done better. At the end of the day he still has 3 MVP and a championship and he never choked a 30 point lead on the finals so he clears wetfartnyama
>>157994800It can be true that he's had some bum ass teams while also having some inexcusable failures like the MULTIPLE wolves series
>>157994375no its because he's a pussy himself who had one of the worst dropoffs in playoff historyalso his only leverage is that detoilet never gets big name free agents so they're desperate, if they were serious they would've told him to take 20 mil a year or kick rocks
>>157994800>If Jokic didn't have a bum ass Canadian as his second best player for his whole career maybe he would have done betterYeah because DeAaron Fox, the epitome of Kangz basketball, is so much better. Fucking retard.
>>157994800Which of his teammates made him shoot 44% around the rim in the postseason?
>>157990401people forgot what a superstar is. luka will remind them when he wins da rang.
Kobe? Jacking up a bunch of shots doesn't make you great! He's a career 44.7% shooter and a 32.9% three-point shooter. Kobe NEVER shot fifty percent in a season! LeBron has shot fifty percent fifteen times! LeBron is a better three-point shooter.
>>157995002MJ is probably a terrible father but at least he isnt making his son embarass himself with a nepo spot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXX_QCiXNnolets go
Imagine if Jokic was drafted by the Spurs or the Celtics and not the Denver Nugshits. He would have 4 championships by now. Literally trash ass team that never could build around him properly and wasted his entire prime. Same shit that happened with Hakeem and Garnett and Dirk. I guess LeBron did the right thing leaving the Cavs before they would waste his prime too. If only he wasn't making superteams every 4 years then maybe people would respect him now but it is what it is
>>157995141>Spurs or the CelticsThose teams all play team basketball, they'd never develop a system that gives a single guy 100 touches a game the way the Nuggets do.
>>157995002>molested>molested>absent father>molested
>Ballmer sells new arena to the Lakers.>Lakers have Forum 2.0 in Inglewood>Clippers move back to San Diego >Grizzlies move to Nashville >Move Grizzlies to Eastern Conference >Get rid of the Pelicans and Kings entirely >Expansion (Bring back Sonics, team in Vegas) >still 30 team There, fixed.
Canada will never know ball I'm afraid
>>157995338They sure don't know hockey
I know Kawhi is retarded, but no way he doesn't know who Pablo Torre is by now. Why is he trying to pretend like he doesn't know him?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grCi_BUqg8Y
>>157994876see>>157973814
>>157991435lefraud ain't gonna like this one
>>157995373because he's pleading the fifth you retard. what a retarded topic of discussion
>>157995392If you’re an owner you’d be stupid to take LeBron over Mike or Kobe.
Wemby is fucking based even if he's a Spur. That man has a moral compass and it's refreshing to see. LeJew ruins millions of lives pushing this gambling virus
>>157995373kawhi has managed to avoid all blame just by staying quiet and playing dumbsometimes it's just that easy
>>157995429Plead the fifth for what? He already got "sentenced". Why play stupid unless he's stupid like you. Double Jeopardy zoomer
>>157995419>>157995443
>>157995453No I think he's trying to still play dumb because there's way more dirt that they're trying to hide. The Marines and Boingo were discovered to be involved in the salary cap circumvention scheme after Kawhi got his $700k fine
>>157995454There's more investigations into him and the clippers currently on-going by way of the SEC, if he committed, say, tax fraud, double jeopardy would not apply
>>157995487>The Marines and BoingoQRD?
>>157995467LEAVE LEBRON ALONE OR ELSE YOU'LL HAVE TO DEAL WITH ME !
>>157995443Why do goyim need to have gambling banned instead of just not being retarded with money? Isn't this what you hate blacks for
>>157991435Wemby has a deal with fanatics tho
>>157995487True but it's unlikely kawhi is the main target of the government investigations. He'll fold and snitch like with the Wachtell investigation and continue to avoid blame
>>157995499Watch the latest Pablo episode about Kawhi from 3 days ago
>>157995002Closeted bisexuals produce gay kids or tranniesWho would've thought
>>157995508Have you seen how low IQ the average human being is? Now think that half of society is more stupid than that person. Unfortunately stupid people keep having more kids and the world has become a land of low IQ retards who can't do anything correct. Just look at the roads you drive on
>>157995521Boingo is a publicly traded company so if they're involved in the cap circumvention people are on the hook for felonies (in theory). In reality even if they did, nobody is going to spend a minute in jail and just get a slap on the wrist. Not sure why the Clippers and the US Marines are involved with each other. That would be a hell of a rabbit hole if the military was using the NBA to money launder
>>157995268>molested (bottom)>molested (bottom)>absent father>molested (top)
>>157995002Did Magic get HIV from gay fucking?
>>157995699Almost 99% from getting his bumhole penetrated by an AIDS-infected BBC
>>157995686Imagine being a man and having a fake picture of Bron saved in your phone! You probably touch yourself too while looking at it
>>157995814How about this one Gemini?
>>157995814>pic of lebron as a french maid is fake!!Check out the big brain on this guy
yup im thinking my nuggies will be the underdog
>>157996031>second apron team is an underdogThat's going to be a rough one
>>157996074>>157996031Jokic looks like he lost a step since spencer jones nearly took out his achilles accidentally. Pre-injury he was legit contending with SGA for MVP and looked like he had a solid 3 ball, shit looked like his best version yet.
>>157996162he definitely returned to play too early just so he didn't miss the 65-games qualification last season, with enough rest he should come back next season (and not getting stomped by spencer jones again)
>>157996211Problem is he's on the wrong side of 30 now and clearly is content with re-signing with this mickey mouse roster so I think he's just happy he got a ring and $500m
>>157967092Durens a retard. The Pistons went fown 3-1 to the Magic in the first round as the first seed. They got bailed out by the Magic's roster getting injured. He got outmuscled by every big on the Magics roster and then shit the bed against the Cavaliers. TAKE THE OFFER DUMBASS BEFORE THE OWNER GET'S THE COACH TO REDUCE YOUR TOUCHES AND YOU RE-SIGN FOR PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR
>>157996031They're a second apron team with a garbage roster. This is Jokic's last year in Denver before demanding a trade. All those MVP's made him look like a fraud
>>157996543You can almost sense the career changing injury KWAB building if he takes the qo. He might unironically commit suicide if he passes up on that 200m and then gets like 10/m a year afterwards
This y'alls goats wife? Cheap ass ratchet ass hood bitch.
Is there any recovering from this Chetbros?
While you are all panicking like chickens with their heads cut off, Big Durr finna get that contract offer raised from 200 mil to 250 mil. What would you niggas do for 50 mil? I bet you'd be willing to wait a couple weeks and make your boss uncomfortable for 50 mil
Jalen Durant
>>157996716Not basketball but fwiw Alysa Liu is a Baltimore Oriole's superfan
Thin Luka should team up with Thin Zion
>>157995373>being honest to a media that is just trying to get you in trouble and doesn't have your best interests in mindonly retard is you
>>157996657That's exactly what's going to happen. Owners never take kindly to 22 year olds trying to shake them down for more money when they clearly won't live up to their contract. He was getting outmuscled by Wendall Carter Jr and almost got the team bounced in the first round but wants a supermax? You wouldn't be able to trade his contract even with a few firsts attached.
DUREN JUST TAKE THE GODDAM MONEY
>>157997528I don't know what else he could possibly want as a concession at this point. He just wants to go to the kings or something but it's complicated enough with the salary rules and the pistons dont want sabonis
ja is in year 8...... im on year 5 of NEET.... damn..... bulgaria still making 4k a year.... some things never change.... but adam silver (demonic Rabbi) made sure to destroy my morantie...
>>157997838Bulgaria, why your flag is America

>Three-time NBA champion JaVale McGee has officially joined the Shanghai Sharks, putting two longtime NBA veterans on the same CBA roster after the Chinese club also signed guard D'Angelo Russell.This dude was in Australia earlier this year. He must have debt or nothing going on in life because you dont see Centers sticking around in mickey mouse leagues this long often
>>157998504Amar'e played like 5 years in Israel.
>Jalen Duren’s contract decision is due Thursday night. The Detroit Pistons center is weighing his options ahead of an 11:59 p.m. ET deadline.Tick tock pisties...
>>157998504playing for the love of the game innit
bro does not want to be a piston
pissed ons will blink and offer the full bag
cut Duren and give his money to Paul Reed
Duren took the knee and signed. He set black people back by 400 years of slavery.
>>157999372>shamsis there a real source that doesn't have a <5% track record of being right
>tfw Duren's agent was 200IQ and wonEvery nigga is gonna try and sign with this guy
>>157999599He got $40 million less than Chet.
>>157999372His agent is a real shiesty ass nigga but he got his client paid
>>157999697he's a much worse player than chet. At least chet got bitched by wemby and not wendell caarter
Seee y’all were clowning my lakies, heh we’re championship bound w Kessler :D
>>157999697Chet won a ring in year 3 of his rookie contract. Duren became All-NBA in his final year of his rookie contract and then shit the bed in the playoffs.
chet has a mickey netanyahu tel aviv ring but no one wants to really say it
>locking in a guy who doesn't want to be there for 5 yearsBold strategy, cotton
Super team forming in the east
>>158000143They'll just trade him in the next off-season. Now that he's not a S&T it'll be a lot easier.
>>15799850438 with no knee explosions and still looks in good shape. My man is just a hooper who wants to hoop
>3x NBA champ>Olympic Gold Medalist>16 year careerMcGoo has a case for one of the best role players ever
Why is the center market so dead that someone like Duren is making $40m p/yThere was always a glut of bum ass centers who could put up okay numbers but theyve gone extinct
>>158000233He has to at least get a little better to make that tradeable. At the very least, keep his numbers in the playoffs but even then its not like he got ALL-NBA due to the 65 game rule
>>158000920That was never actually the case and just a myth because of the existence of Javale McGee
>>158000920Adjusted for inflation Greg Monroe and Enes Kanter were making more than that 10 years ago
>>157998504how come every player who plays with lebum winds up in chinai thought he made his teammates better
Told you guys Duren would sign the 5/200. Pistons are fucking stupid, and congratulations on having your very own Deandre Ayton.
we lost chudbros.
>>158000920League is getting bigger to stop Wemby. It's the Shaq effect 2.0
>>158002417There are probably like 3 guys alive that are above 7'1> and are mobile enough to stop him. What im saying is you need a thug like zaza
>>157988855>already fat
Duren wasted our time just to sign anyway, fucking bozo.
>>158002417lmao detroit should worry about gettin out of the east before they worry about wemby
>>158002508Undersized centers and forwards are better at guarding him, guys like OG and Tatum's sizes. 7 footers like Clingan are either too slow to stay in front of him, or too weak like Chet to slow him down.
>>158002634The strategy seems to be to let him run out of steam early because he forgets he's 7'6 and starts chucking. He shot 7 3PA per game vs knicks at a 27% clip kekAlso now that flagg is 6'10-6'11 I really wanna see if he can guard gumby now
>>157994375No one is blaming Duren for negotiating for and more, its just that the only reason hes getting the money is because the Pistons front office is retarded. A serious team wouldve let him walk.Good for him getting his bag anyway
>>158000920its less that its dead and that all the good or half decent centers are already taken and under contractpicrel are all the currently upcoming free agent centers, I don't see any names that the pistons could snag or would want to
>>158002751fuck me forgot pic
>>158002754Lively (and maybe Edey) i could see a team taking a gamble on them being healthy if their teams move on.Also that Gobert contract is PUTRID with the $38 million PO and him getting old
