Tyron lue did say he was staying but it would be funny if they traded him
No idea what Ainge thinks he's doing. Boston will never improve if he turns down every offer he gets because he's looking for the perfect deal.
>>68854918
Uh who is Devin Booker? Thats the son of Russell Westbrook, Kobe Bryant
>>68855036
Trading LeBron or Lue?
KD is going to New York

I hope he's gone at the deadline. He's given enough time to this franchise that's just screwing him over while he's in his prime
Maybe the Lakers bite if they miss in FA
>>68854918
Speaking of Booker, the Suns have picks #4, #13 and #28.
Do they use the picks or trade them? If they trade, to whom for what?
>>68855062
>>68855080
Oh and i forgot this
http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/16453607/new-york-knicks-tell-derrick-rose-pursue-kevin-durant
Phil is telling Rose that he's going to get KD.
OH and Durant was in NYC yesterday when the news broke on Rose.
>>68855093
You sure showed them
Not sure if that even qualifies as a troll?
>>68855068
Gordon Hayward declined the offer. Says he wants to stay home because him and his wife are having a second kid.

How good is kris dunn? Hes obviously the 3rd best player in this draft but i thought this draft was supposed to be shit after 1-2
>>68855117
assuming this is true and they get KD and Kobe, what is Rose's role?
And please tell me KD and Kobe are a locked trade package 'cause I don't want to see them break up.

(You)
>>68855168
Ingram is overrated af but so is Dunn, he's a poor man's Wall.
Trading for the corpse of Rose doesn't stop NY from being a lottery team.
>>68855168
He's not as good as Simmons or Ingram but he's better than everyone's else
>>68855189
Phil is not fucking around. He's going full Pat Riley mode.
Rose is purely a stop gap until 2017 when westbrook becomes a FA
>>68855117
>Phil Jackson getting the last laugh after everything the media said
>>68854975
>>68854991
>>68855100
Lopez isn't very valuable. He's a post-up big man who isn't good at defense which automatically makes him bottom of the barrel in today's league. He also has a really overpriced contract, and he has a history of injuries. Add in the fact that he's basically a poor man's Greg Monroe and no one even wants Greg Monroe, and it doesn't look good for his trade value.
>>68855012
imo he stays in cleveland
Do Knicks fans seriously think that Melo is a good player?
>>68855189
You forgot Porzingis (They'll move him to C and sign Noah on a good deal to play backup)
>>68855229
He is a good player. With a good PG he would have had quite a few triple doubles last season. He was moving the ball quite a lot and changed his game under the triangle.
Anybody who says otherwise hasn't been paying attention to the knicks (Can't say i blame them)
>>68855229
He's a good chucker
>>68855187
He said he wasn't going to participate before the finals even started. A lot of other players didn't want to either. There's too much shit going on in Brazil from the flu to the shitty water quality.
Who /icecreamsandwiches/ here?
>>68855068
That's nowhere near as bad as that 2004 team. Still head and shoulders above every other country as long as Durant and PG are there. Especially since Spain will be without Marc Gasol.
>>68855253
He hasn't been in iso melo mode for 2 seasons. He has changed his game.
You're stuck in 2013.
>>68855189
Why the fuck are people serious about Rose.
He's literally there to help them tank into 2017 so they can draft Harry Giles and sign Westbrook.
>>68855293
If the Knicks wanted to tank they could have stretched Calderon and started him again.
>>68855107
Picks outside of 1 and 2 in this draft aren't super coveted so I don't think they can make much off those picks. Suns' best move is to draft Buddy Hield at #4, drafted two forwards/centers at #13 and #28, and trade Bledsoe + Knight for future picks.
Start next season with a full new young team. Buddy at PG, Booker at SG, #13 and #28 at SF and PF, and Alex Len at C.
>>68855068
The new guard looks like shit
>>68855264
fuck i havent had one in a couple years. i really want one now
Rose
Melo
Durant
Porzingis
Noah
Who the FUCK can stop us?
Curry
Thompson
Bogut
Green
Lebron
Who /tookthedayofffromwork/ here?
>>68855312
>free up 20M in cap space by 2017 or pay calderon his salary for the next 2 years
Phil knows Rose is going to get hurt somehow, it's part of the tanking process.
>>68855315
I love Buddy but he isn't really a PG
man if you people are right and this year's draft offerings really are shit, i can only keep praying even harder that buford doesn't fall for the young and athletic meme and trades green or mills for some turd at #18
>>68855192

>>68855315
Buddy can't really play point guard. At 22 he still doesn't have anywhere near NBA point guard quality handles and passing. If they want a point guard for the future they should get Dunn or bet on Jamal Murray being able to pass in the future since he's only 18.

John Wall chose PS4 over Wii U, and he paid the price

5:35 PM - 23 Jun 2016
>>68855229
Better question.
Do Knicks fans actually think Rose will pan out and KD will actually go to their shit organization?
>>68855264
>buy a box of cheap store brand shit
>gone within a day or two
Never again.
>>68855433
Btc was a forced meme, John Wall was natural
See
>>68855441
>>68855436
there's no way iggy is playing with his back out
>>68855355
>>68855387
>>68855394
then put Booker at PG, he already played a ton of PG last year. Warriors proved that you dont need a traditional PG if your backcourt can chuck meme shots all day, which is what a backcourt of Buddy + Booker would be
>>68855387
>>no playmaking ability
>>average handles at best
Confirmed for not knowing shit.
>>68855394
You too idiot.
>>68855452
Any Knicks fan who thinks Rose will pan out is delusional. He's there for one reason only and it's to free up cap space for next year.
wow, the team this summer will be such shit
>>68855436
James Harden pulled out a while ago
>>68855472
I like it
>>68855454
Where'd you get the pic of Clips4lyfe?
breaking news kawaii lenored is not going to the olympics
>>68855383
I meant it as "The New Guard"
The Old Guard had Lebron and Kobe dropping 100 points on euro shitters now we got stuff like Harrison Barnes and Deandre Jordan
If the Warriors flame out before the conference finals next season because Iguodala ages off a cliff and they fall apart, do you think there's a chance Curry leaves in free agency? It would turn 2017 into a 2010 level summer.
>>68855457
>John Wall was natural
No, no it wasn't. It's a fantastic fucking meme don't get me wrong, it's one of the best /nba/ memes OF ALL TIME. But it was super fucking forced, don't throw this revisionist history bullshit at me.
I remember the first couple John Wall Nintendo memes were met with nothing but hatred. Everyone told the Canadians making it to fuck off until they forced it hard enough and made enough dank OC that we embraced it.
>>68855125
Yeah he is staying home for that reason
>Pic related daddy hayward

>>68855508
zika is best defense against nba players
>>68855387
>>68855394
Buddy Hield played as a combo guard in OU and is an exceptional playmaker and passer. There's a reason he's a top 10 prospect you dumbasses.
Literally every scout report you can find praises his ability.
>>68855529
only 800k
kek
>>68855529
So if you move to the Midwest you can live in a half mansion
>>68855486
Even with LeBron and Curry out, who the fuck even stands a chance against the US?
KD is going to the Knicks and Westbrook will come to the Spurs
CAP THIS
>>68855457
It was incredibly forced. It was posted way after death, and continues to be posted even tho no one really cares anymore
Yall only care now because it's pretty much decided upon as the best meme from last year

>>68855436
What if all those niggas get zika and during the regular season impregnate a shit ton of women? The future generation of NBA players will be flat cone headed midgets.
I miss Hinkie.
>>68855502
this him here
>>68855590
harden and thompson will be the last two picks
>>68855218
>Poor man's Greg Monroe
Nice try. Brook is a far better offensive and defensive player than Greg Monroe is. Monroe is part of the reason why the bucks defense turned into shit. Lopez isn't the best defender, especially in P&R since he's slow as shit, but he was a good interior defender last season, something greg monroe can't say he was
Sure he had injuries, but he played almost every game last season coming off foot surgery, consistently put up 20 points, 8 rebounds, and 2 blocks per game. His contract may be big, but compared to the contracts other bigs are going to get soon it's not going to be as much and his contract length isn't that long.
>all this Danny Ainge wheeling and dealing will eventually yield nothing
>they will draft Kris Dunn or Jaylen Brown and keep it
>>68855568
Fuck yeah. He can probably calculate the distance he's at and calculate trajectories in his head. 100% fg I bet.
>>68855549
>>68855549
And every scouting report praises Buddy as a shooting guard, not a fucking point guard.
He's improved other areas of his game yes but he's 4 years out of college and his skillset still isn't good enough to be a PG in the NBA.
>>68855590
DEROZAN SAID HE'S PLAYING TODAY TOO
>>68855524
He was streaming league like last week too
dont care for league, but cool to see
>>68855555
BRAD CHECKED!!!
>>68855594
Literally every none superstar athlete will be going. Especially the amateur athletes that literally work every year just to play in the Olympics regardless of anything that happens.
Even the watersports people that will actually be in the tainted water have declared they'll still go.
The Olympics are a bigger deal than you realize. Only people like Basketball, Tennis, Golf, etc. stars can afford not to go. Gymnasts, swimmers, track, etc. live for the Olympics as it's the biggest stage for their sport.
>>68855523
>>68855652
He was great for when he was here, but Colangelo will be better now that we have to shape this into an actual team
If Hinkie were here, he'd still be trading picks and players for more future picks
>>68855652
he still posts here, he just dropped the trip because of the autist stalking him
Hinkie/7KT if you're reading this, you can put your trip back on. the stalker autist killed himself after the Warriors lost, you dont have to worry about him anymore

it will be hard to keep all 8 picks; some move should happen.
still, imo nothing wrong with keeping the #3 pick celticpinoy. it will be fun to watch a young talent developing for the next few seasons.
Explain to me why LeBron wont sign with the warriors this summer? Now that he beat them he wont be called a ring chaser and he'd still be the best player on the team.
>Steph
>Klay
>Iguodala
>LeBron
>Draymond
He'd get 4 more rings and surpass Jordan.
>>68855799
He was worse than ass last year imho, he was straight buttwater.
