Well, going big is the only chance the Nets have to get back into contention any time soon (which seems to be what their owner wants). Filling the roster with internationals has potential, but it would not pay off before the end of the decade at the very earliest.
Reminder that Ginobli should have been T'd up before Waiters ever touched him.
>>67313264
Simmons is obviously right. Nets have no incentive to tank and they have no assets so they might as well blow their cap space overpaying for veterans, try to find and develop some bottom dwellers and hope for respectability.
Would the Bulce trade Rose? Even though they obviously should, I'm not totally convinced.
do you think Adam Silver will instate a Retarded GM exception?
>>67313304
if they trade him and he goes on to play for the Nets but then gets injured (again) then what?
>>67313284
They have literally no reason *not* to try and get back into contention. What's the alternative, exactly? Suck now and then also suck later when they have picks?
>>67313264
>bob simon
>>67313318
Then the Nets will suck? This just gives them some slim hope that they won't totally suck.
>>67313288
What's the penalty or whatever for Ginobli stepping out of bounds before the ball was thrown in?
>>67313352
Technical foul, 1 FT and OKC get the ball back.
>>67313360
thanks, yo
I still don't understand why Ginobili kicked it out to Mills instead of shooting with his left hand. I know Adams was there but it looked like a very makeable shot.
>>67313392
he probably lost track of the time left, it happens a lot in crunch time just ask chris webber

Jefferson would most likely need to take a pay cut to return with the Hornets, something he said he's fine with doing.
"Most definitely," Jefferson told the Charlotte Observer. "I've been in the league for a long time and I've done right by my money. So at this point, going into my 13th year and I'm 31 years old, this is the best situation.
Batum also said he wants to come back, looks like the hornets might do alright next year. Exciting.
>>67313284
if so, they will overpay a couple of FAs and become a middle of the pack team. And that's the best case scenario.

>Nothing wrong with hosting the 2nd most important international Basketball tournament
But it isn't. The First most important is the Olympics, which even it is under the NBA Finals. The second is the FIBA Basketball world cup. Eurobasket is on nobody's list besides some euroleague serbian shitters.
>U21
Yes I remember, it was a very important championship that billions of people tuned into.
>World Swimming Championships
Another non-event. Might as well host the Nintendo World Championships.
Israel is like a yard sale selling second-hand athletic venues. At least I don't have any illusions about hosting important sports events. Meanwhile you get your yarmulke in a ruffle when someone points out literally nobody cares about any of those, and a country like BRAZIL is hosting both the Olympics and World Cup over "superior" Israel. I guess amateur athletes need a place to play too. Might as well be in Israel in between missile raids.
>>67315115
>I hate mexico more
The poor usually have contempt for their wealthy masters.
>>67315155
>Using relevant data which disproves my position doesn't count
Your previous list is GDP for the entire country with over 3x the population of Canada. GDP per capita is more indicative of quality of life and development.
In developed countries dozens of students don't get massacred by cartels and the incident go investigated by corrupt authorities. Face it; mexico is a shithole.
Do you unironically have bars on your windows?
>>67315231
>A country with far more money than mine somehow means it doesn't have more money than mine because of x y and z!
Delusional. Any way you cut it, Mexico is wealthier. Sorry not sorry. Go back to the syrup trees, my designer pancakes need free NAFTA imported syrup.
>>67315267
>>A country with far more money than mine
Christ do you understand what GDP is? It isn't money it's the value of production, most of which in Mexico is exported
>>67315311
>Exporting products is bad
Believing things like this is why Canada is lower on the list than based Mexico.
Here's an economics lesson you would have learned if you had a world-class elite mexican education: exports are what makes a country money.
>>67315267
You do have bars on your Windows don't you?
>>67315340
The wealth is exported you retard because most production is foreign owned. Shouldn't you be patching your thatched roof? It's rainy season
>>67315342
The only bars I have are clubs in Cabo and Cancun where I get drowned in maplebux from Canadians with bad teeth.
>>67315362
>Most production is foreign owned
You literally have no idea what you're talking about. Mexico makes all of its money from Tourism, Agriculture, and Drugs. There is a growing middle class thanks to American manufacturing companies like Bombardier setting up here. Please tell me more about how my country works with that gringo canuckolded education. If I ever need an opinion about if I'm making micro-aggressions against transracial genderfluid fat-positive otherkin I will know who to ask.

>United States wises up to your scheming hand rubbing and pulls funding, and the Arab hordes swallow you alive.
Israel has nukes. Arab countries will not attack Israel like they did in the 60s.
>>67315503
Mexican slave wages are literally cucking you out of jobs every day by exploding the competition pool and driving down the cost of labor. Yet another factor why Canada is lower on the list than based Mexico. Even in your picking food example, those used to be jobs for Canadians. Now it's all money in Mexico's bank.
White faggots are so generous. Thanks I guess.
>>67315553
You're right, when I think "rational foreign policy" I always think "arab countries."
What a disappointing board /sp/ turned out to be. Maybe you guys should just stick to memeing about the raptors and losing every year to Americans in hockey.
>>67315567
>Even in your picking food example, those used to be jobs for Canadians
Jobs nobody wants though. Mexico has higher nominal GDP because Mexico has a larger population. It's why Canada's GDP PPP per capital is 5x that of Mexico's.
Face it. Mexico is a shitty narco state with a massive poor population.
>>67315612

You really are dumb as fuck. Can't expect much from someone from a country so low on the list.

Mexico has more money than Canada. Deal with it.
>>67315839
Are you implying Mexico is more Developed, has better living standards or a better educated country than Canada?
Or that the average Mexican is wealthier?
>>67315848
Silver seems p serious about it.
he will still need 2/3 of owners to support him and usually owners are conservative when it comes to changing rules.
>>67315896
Are you implying that you're God's chosen people but need billions in dollars of foreign aid just to sustain your existence after it was gifted to you not by God, but by Lord Balfour of England?
>>67315920
Answer the question Mexico
Per capital is the only relevant thing. Arguing against it basically admits the only reason you have more wealth is because you have a higher population
The richer the people are, the higher standard of living you poor fuck

> Silver still needs to sell NBA owners, however, and a rule change requires two-thirds of teams to vote in favor of whatever alternative is presented.
http://www.si.com/nba/2016/04/21/adam-silver-hack-a-shaq-kiki-vandeweghe-nba-rules
What exactly Silver has in mind is not clear
SB nation had some interesting speculations on how the rules could change- there is also a more recent article by them, but I cannot find it
http://www.sbnation.com/2016/1/21/10805888/end-intentional-fouls-nba-rule-change-andre-drummond
Note, however, that the exact same rumours were circulating a year ago, but Silver stopped discussing it once it became clear the teams would not support it
http://www.sbnation.com/2015/5/13/8601367/hack-a-shaq-rules-deandre-jordan-nba-gms-meeting-2015
Do we have any chance at all?
>>67316167
Not if they keep playing retard 4th quarter basketball like last night.
>>67316153
I have doubts about Smart and Luc.
I also expect to see more stars in the list: eg Klay, Tony Allen and LBJ (albeit Lebron should be in the second team tho).

San Antonio Spurs
2016 Mental Gymnastic Champions
>>67316164
the change is easy and obvious af
on fouls away from the ball, the fouled team should have the option to take the ball side-out instead of free throws. A team should never be able to dictate their opponent's possession by fouling intentionally away from the ball, so if you want to put a bad foul shooter on the line the onus should be on the defense to wait for him to set a screen or get the ball before you foul him.
>Aldridge is averaging 39 points on 75% shooting
Just saw the inbounds play from last night.
Why the fuck are people making a massive fuss about this?
1. Danny Green could have made a simple chest pass for a bucket
2. Ginobili stepped on the line
3. Refs make mistakes all the time throughout the game
4. One blown call at the end of the game shouldn't matter anymore than a blown call at the beginning of the second quarter.
5. If the Spurs felt aggrieved, then they should have played better.

Out of bounds isn't the 3 point line, stepping on the line isn't out of bounds, have you ever played basketball LOL

If the Spurs want to win a championship, Kawhi has to get to that next level. He can't be going 7-18 for 14 points.
woah...I got 3300 steps today bros....im on my way to not being fat....
>>67316681
Sounds like typical Kawhi. He's too beta to demand the ball and take the shots. It literally was supposed to be his team to lead last year but he shit the bed and they signed Aldridge instead to take over.

Every team sets illegal screens though. Seriously, watch any game and see all the moving picks that are never called. Not defending the warriors, bogut and green are some of the worst offenders, sure, but every fucking team is doing it. They ever need to change the fucking rules or crack down on it and start fucking calling them (you see, what? MAYBE 1 or 2 called a game? IF that???)

Lel. Wonder if Lakers will even go .500 next season.
Almost every day Reddit and the media say that Kawhi is a better player than LeBron. But watching Kawhi so far in the playoffs, he doesn't seem to be able to get his own shot and he doesn't really run the offense either. Yes his defense is impeccable but I'm not seeing much else.
>>67321064
He's literally Scottie Pippen with an old as fuck Duncan instead of ending-his-prime Jordan.
>>67320203
Sorry I'm on the /MandyMuse/ bandwagon
>>67321012
Spurs fans, or at least Spurdoras, are on another level. They can receive beneficial officiating and manage to narrow in on the things that go against them.
admittedly every fanbase complains about officiating to a point and not all Spurs fans are like that, but when you have so many people bitch so loudly about games being stolen from you when it turns out that not only was it not stolen but the incorrect calls went mostly in your teams favor, it needs to be brought up.
damn dlo outscoring Lebron is hilarious!!!
how many L's can /nba/ withstand?
Status on /nba/?
>>67313416
It's so strange. He can be an Aldridge tier monster in the post, an offensive rebounding mini-Dirk. But they keep parking him in the corner and expecting him to magically be in rhythm when they decide to run one or two plays for him. Since Kyrie seems to work with LeBron so seamlessly, Lue should probably stagger minutes to have Love anchor the 2nd unit through the post and then have Channing Frye fill in for some of the floor spacing duties needed in a LeBron lineup. I understand that since LeBron lost his jumper they can't afford to have Love play inside with Thompson and LeBron out there because it would kill all spacing. So just stagger minutes and have him go to work in the post surrounded by Delly/Shump/Jefferson and a big.
>>67313416

Al Jefferson is the David Lee of that Hornets team desu. They need a big who can protect the rim or stretch the floor and Big Al does neither. When he's at his best he's really fun to watch, but unfortunately with injuries and age that's just not very often. If they win the Whiteside sweepstakes and hope Kaminsky makes a leap they might be good, but I doubt they ever make the leap from mediocrity.
Let's not forget the NBA instituted HGH testing this year, and guys like Lebron and Carmelo suddenly lost 30 pounds and became injury-prone.

who the fuck knows. nowitzki started shedding weight as he grew older for the purpose of prolonging his career.
>>67321606
Carmelo was never even buff, he was just fat.
If Larry fires Vogel and picks up McHale or places himself in the hc spot I'm gonna be hype af
>>67321975
When players hit a certain age they start shedding weight to preserve their joints. Dirk did it. Timmy did it. LeBron and Melo are doing it.
>>67322394
>wanting McHale
>>67322394
The Pacers would be in the 2nd round if Vogel knew how to manage minutes.
>>67321363
Melo is still kinda fat looking
I don't think he's given a single shit since Denver
>>67322443
all Melo cares about it getting paid, if I could choose between Gordon Hayward and Carmelo Anthony I would choose Hayward no matter the construction of my team.

Yo what the fuck happened to Josh Howard I swear when I was a youngster he was the future of the league.
>>67322576

>>67321363
LeBron didn't even lose much if any weight, idk what that guy is talking about. Furthermore, growth hormone has nothing to do with this anyway
>>67322736
Yeah but it feels like he went from a 24 year-old All-Star second option on a team that was some historic refball away from a title to out of the league a couple years later.
>Doc Rivers said Monday that he would not break up the Los Angeles Clippers' big three of Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan during the offseason -- regardless of any trade offers that may arise.

IMO trade griffin now before it's too late. he doesn't combine well with either CP3 or DJ anyway...

>>67323029
What does growth hormone have to do with anything? Plain jane steroids do the job far more effectively. GH is useful for coming back from a serious injury.
>>67323177
Not a lot that the Clippers would want, also Chris would throw a monumental bitch fit. George Hill+Turner would be the only way they'd bite, but I don't think I like that

>>67322843
Well, it would be stupid to say you consider trading them. That'd hurt both morale in the locker room and weakens your position in trade negotiations.
>>67324073
either this or Doc is stupid
>>67323283
Myles Turner just turned 20 and he's already a rim protecting stretch 4 who played reasonably well in 7 playoff games as a starter. If he declared for the draft right now he'd be a top 3 pick. He's 6'11" with the wheels to switch on the PnR and the hops and length to be an elite shot blocker. If his shot keeps improving he could be a nice mix between Serge Ibaka and Paul Millsap. I'm a huge fan of his game and if I were the Pacers I would hold onto him. They're another star away, but Paul George is young enough that they can afford to let Turner develop.
>>67324073
This. They're gonna trade someone. It's just that if you publicly talk about trading everyone and then all the deals fall through by the time the season starts you'll have Houston-level chemistry issues. It also fucks them in trade talks if other teams know they're dead set on getting rid of their guys. DeAndre has a lot of years left and a rim protector is always nice so I doubt they trade him, but Blake and/or Paul are gone by next season's deadline.
I just hope the Clippers don't trade DeAndre. He's my favorite player
imo this trade makes sense
He's coming home
>>67324362
Who do the Raptors have that appeals to the Clippers
The only move I see happening is a sign and trade for KD
>>67324354
Only reasons the Clippers would make this trade is if they believe Winslow will develop enough of an offensive game to be an All-Star.

Sixers get the 1st and 4th picks and draft Simmons and Bender. With their late first rounder they take Maker. They trade Okafor, Saric, and next season's 1st rounder for Blake Griffin.

He has lots of potential as a defender tho, I'm sure he'll vastly improve with Thibs
>Lavine
>Dunk babby
do you even watch him play?
He is mostly a spot-up shooter (a very good one), barely drives to the rim.
had the least dunks out of the dunk contest contenders iirc

A lot of people remember AI on the Nuggets more, it's not like he was coming off the bench.
>>67326070
He'll win one for The Land
Steph is made of glass, so there will be a few seasons where he won't play during the playoffs, and it's not like they'll be able to keep the role players together unless they take huge paycuts
>>67326091
Yeah, almost everyone else was effectively done with their career once they moved, whilst AI was a key part of the thuggets, who are objectively the realest team of all time
>>67326098
too bad if curry is injured then the spurs will make it. and lebron is even worse again the spurs

it's impossible not to miss Jason Williams, he was something else
speaking of which, have you seen the vid of his son?

>early 2000s Blazers are the realest of al time
Feels good to finally have a fucking 30 for 30 coming out for them. They were so hesitant to make one for the longest time because it would paint a bad picture for the league.
People calling Sacramento a team of headcases know nothing of what a team of headcases actually looks like.

what the fuck are you saying? he is from nigeria.
>>67326113
There's nothing real about Colorado. The Jailblazers are realer. The 2004-2005 Pistons are the realest team of all time, which ultimately lead to the Malace At The Palace when they ran into another real as fuck team, that Pacers squad with Jermaine, Captain Jack, Artest, Jamal Tinsley and others.
Pacers get demerits for having guys like Austin Croshere and Reggie Miller
>>67326197
look up the Jailblazers
The 2000 Men's Basketball team was shit
The 2004 Team was too young, but a team with Iverson/Lebron/Wade/Melo/Duncan has no excuse for not winning

The next two seasons were just as disastrous for the team's reputation. Several players, including Wallace, Stoudamire, and Qyntel Woods, were cited for marijuana possession.[36] Woods pled guilty to first-degree animal abuse for staging dog fights in his house, some involving his pit bull named Hollywood. Hollywood and Woods' other pit bull, Sugar, were confiscated, and Woods was given eighty hours of community service. He also agreed to donate $10,000 to the Oregon Humane Society.[37] Wallace was suspended for seven games for threatening a referee.[38] Zach Randolph and Patterson got in a fight during practice, with Randolph sucker punching his teammate in the eye, an injury which kept Patterson from making a meaningful contribution during the playoffs.[39] When police came to Stoudamire's house to respond to a burglar alarm, they noticed the smell of marijuana, searched the premises, and found a pound of cannabis located in a crawlspace;[40] the search was later declared illegal and charges in the matter were dropped.[41] Guard Bonzi Wells famously told Sports Illustrated in a 2002 interview:
“We’re not really going to worry about what the hell (the fans) think about us. They really don’t matter to us. They can boo us everyday, but they’re still going to ask for our autographs if they see us on the street. That’s why they’re fans, and we’re NBA players.”[42]
>>67326264
Wow that really is a terrible team

It's not a 30 for 30, it's being made by HBO.

There was a mix up and everyone thought it would be a 30 for 30.
Cleveland's best chance at the title is if OKC sneaks past San Antonio and Steven Adams decapitates Draymond Green.

Also, Ruben Patterson was convicted of attempted rape and is a registered sex offender.
>>67326297
Still it's something that's been a long time coming. That team is what white soccer moms stereotype the NBA as.
>>67326299
Id rather see an OKC/Warriors or Clippers/Warriors (unfortunately, that can't happen anymore) ECF. Thunder atleast have some of the realest players unlike Tim "Dungeons and Dragons" Duncan and Kawhi "15 ppg" Leonard.

>>67326272
That Z-bo snippet understates how fucking hilarious that situation was.
>It didn’t help that Randolph kept battling with Patterson, one of the league’s more intimidating personalities and someone who had been arrested three times between 2000 and 2002 (including once after police charged him with attempting to rape his children’s nanny). Patterson often targeted and taunted Randolph, with their bad blood culminating during a 2003 practice: Randolph noticed teammate Qyntel Woods arguing with Patterson and came to Woods’s defense, sucker-punching Patterson. (Remembers Stoudamire, “I didn’t see what had happened because I had got the steal, so I was going the other way. Then all I heard was, ‘Come on, Zach.’ I turned back around and it was chaos.”) After Patterson suffered a fractured eye socket, Canzano later recalled that “there was a period of a few days after that incident where Randolph hid out at Dale Davis’s house because he feared that Patterson was going to try and shoot him.”

Poor team defender
Once every couple of games he decides to play some 1-on-1 defense for some possessions (can recall him playing some good D against Harden and Westbrook)
But he's usually off stance, poorly positioned and generally barely tries.
Just for comparison

Griffin can't play the Olympics.
Curry/Westbrook
Harden/Thompson/Butler
LeBron/Kawhi/Pg-13
Durant/Green
Cousins/Drummond
>>67326576
Fuck, I can't decide on DeAndre or Drummond honestly. DeAndre has better defense, Drummond has better offense. Both block shots, pass, and rebound just as well, and shoot ft's just as terribly as each other
>>67326660
get this basic ass HO the fuck off my /nba/
>>67326660
I will go with DJ, don't think anyone will be able to stop him off the pick and roll, especially when he will be playing against the benchers
>>67326576
LeBron should sit out, he's twice as old as everyone else and it's just more wear and tear he doesn't need
lel
>>67326722
But don't you think Drummond is more polished offensively?
DJ dunks everything that can be dunked, but otherwise his offensive game is non-existent.
>>67326534
Curry/Westbrook/Lillard
Harden/Klay/Butler
KD/Kawhi/PG
LeBron/Draymond/Aldridge
Jordan/Love/Drummond
>>67326801
of course
But I think his limited offensive game is more than enough in the Olympics.
And it's good to have an option for a defensive 5 when Cousins is your starter
>>67326534
Curry/Paul/Westbrick
Harden/Thompson/Butler
Lebeta/Durant/Kawhi
Green/Griffin/Davis
Cousins/Drummond/KAT
>>67326943
KAT represents Dominican Republic
>>67326188
lmao
thats what people thought when be was getting drafted
he's ended up being one of the worst defenders in the league, maybe thibs can turn that around
Better scoring performance?
Michael Jordan scores 54 points vs 1993 NYK. Down 2-1 to the Knicks in the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals.
Kobe Bryant scores 81 points vs the Toronto Raptors in a Janiary Regular Season game.
>>67326660
I have to go with DeAndre, but putting Boogie in over either of them is a crime
You have enough offense with Curry/Westgod/Harden/Lebron/Durant, you need someone who can guard the interior and make some sorry European player look pathetic on a monster dunk.
Drummond is better offensively, but in the end you need Defense more than offense.
Better All-Around Baller, Draymond Green or Kawhi?
>>67327303
Didn't Kawhi almost have a 50/40/90 with elite defense?
Agree?
>>67327326
>elite defense
>Westbrook scored 29 points last night
>>67327303
Kawhi
Kawhi can score efficiently as the focus of an offense, Draymond is an average offensive player if he isn't surrounded by historically good spacing.

Nah, Westbrook is way more athletic than AI ever was. He is a mixture of Godbe and LeGod
>>67327356
Doesn't even have AI's handles, has the attitude but is more ferocious.
I like to think of Westbrook being a mini prime Shawn Kemp mixed with the personality and basic play of Kobe.
But he doesn't have Kobe's footwork, he uses hi athleticism more. Is a high volume scorer like Kobe but doesn't have as big of a moveset.
>>67327419
He didn't guard KD, he was stuck of Westbrook.
All part of Pop's "master plan" Amirite? :^)
>>67327433
I hate having to play him, there seems to be a meme about him being a bad defender but it's not even true. He is really good at getting under opponent's skin.

kawhi is an amazing defender but oh wait so is draymond, what else is kawhi good at, as pointed out earlier draymond is better passer and rebounder, offensively you have to go with draymond and defensively its pretty close. so better all around player isn't hard to choose

I'm amazed Westbrook hasn't gone full exploding knees yet. His footwork when he's on the fastbreak is absolutely amazing.
Last night he had a fastbreak that had my mind going blank because I still have no idea how he did it. Tony Parker and I think Kawhi were in the back stopping him from getting the layup but he still managed to do something to get it in and land without hurting himself.
