If Philly takes Simmons, I can guarantee you: One of Noel or Okafor is getting traded. Okafor to Chicago for Butler, possibly?
>>67665587

Doesn't he have Yao Ming feet?
我が生涯に一片の悔い無し!
Noel, Okafor, Embiid, Saric, and Simmons> Russell, Randel, Nancy, Ingram and Hibbert
How terrible would it be if Simmons went to PHilly.
He needs a ton of time and good coaching to reach his potential. Hopefully he lands to Boston
This OKC series will determine the future of the NBA. If Adams, Ibaka, and Kanter continue to shit on the Warriors small ball meme lineup and OKC wins the series, this will usher in the age of big ball. 76ers will draft Simmons, and their 2016-17 lineup will be Simmons/Saric/Noel/Embiid/Okafor, a 6'10 or taller player at every single position.
>>67665764
He's almost gone a full year without a setback!
>>67665812

>>67665864
Or rebuild while contending like the Celtics.
>>67665798
He has a good chance to be another Ilgauskas. Had the same procedure he did, and he ended up with a decent-length career.
>>67665852
we've heard this before
>>67665888
It's not perfect for the celtics. They can't rely on Avery because he seems injury prone, and Smart is a bust. They need to some how find a smart 2 guard who can shoot. I'd say they need try trading for C.J. but that depletes their backcourt of any defense
>>67665888
>celtics
>"""""contending"""""
The sixers WERE the celtics. That's why they got rid of Holiday and Turner. They hope they're never in that situation again.
Remains to be seen what the Wolves end up being but on paper they look like they'll have a much better future than the Celtics.
his insight continues to amaze

>>67666712

>>67666735
They have some all stars, some great rookies that can grow, assets for trades, and a great coach.
What they really need is time. They've had a lot of talent but make too many mental mistakes and crumble under pressure. If they can get over this they can go back to being the #1 seed as they're a very effective small ball team.
>>67666708
Why would he move anywhere? Melo doesn't give a fuck about winning. He just wants to make money obviously.

Do you think I'd willingly be a Philadelphia sports fan if I had the choice?
Trolls were laughing when the Warriors were down against the Grizzlies and Cavs last year too. Let them laugh. Warriors will make adjustments and come back to win this series, starting with Game 2.

Or you could pick Simmons and then trade Okafor to the Celtics for Bradley. 15PPG scorer, three point shooter, and ELITE AS FUCK defender.

What the fuck, of course not.
You get Bradley and 16 at best. Bradley is one of the best perimeter defenders in the league and a solid scorer, you'd be insane to think we'd give him up AND #3 for okafor. It's delusional.
>>67667706
Cardio, you need that stamina. Cut your body fat as much as possible without starving yourself and eating 100% protein like a body builder. Keep your muscle mass high but not ridiculous,

the nets are such a trainwreck. Fucked up cap space, no draft picks, and only like 1 decent player to show for it.
>>67667640
Even if the Warriors do make it through they should be beaten up and tired from a longer series. The Cavs should sweep again and will hopefully stay healthy. LeBron almost beat a fully healthy and rested Warriors team by himself last season so when the tables are turned Cavs should win. If the Thunder make it through then I'm happy either way with the outcome.

>>67667895
Are you really a Venezuelan and why are you a Hornets fan?
>>67667823
Eat a diet were you consume only as many calories as you burn. Have it high in protein in the beginning so you build muscle as you lift weights, run, jump for that vertical. Make sure you eat your veggies, drink water all the time, don't cheat, and sleep for long hours.
Lol, I feel like I'm the only Raps fan here, but I watched the game throughout & I gotta say props to the team for keeping their calm & striving through. They just came out of a 7 series game facing Miami Heat. Now they're facing the Cavs - it's a highly different type of ball game that they need to adjust to. I hope this game will come of use to them in terms of noting what they messed up on, what could've been, etc. This is a learning experience/process. Cavs are a beast, no doubt about that. I'm just glad the Raptors made it to the ECF. They deserve it.
>>67667882
Smart is a bust though, 2014 is one of the most overhyped meme drafts ever
Payton, Clarkson and Lavine are better point guards than him
>muh wade vs lebron
ahahaha faggots, you get the raptors and you'll like it bitch niggers
So Simmons is basically a shitty version of Lebron right?
>>67667919
Just making it to the ECF is a huge step from being a 1st round exit every year. I like there the team is headed. Any sane fan knew the Cavs would win but it's fun to talk trash nonetheless. Stealing 1 game to ruin the 16-0 meme record would be great.
>>67667959
>willing to get swept just to cuck people out of this matchup
absolute madmen
>People thought Toronto would win the series
>People thought Toronto would win a game

That was the shortest lived meme in /sp/'s history.
>>67667876
Just pray your guys are looking at the Thunder as inspiration and make an effort to fix their shit, follow the system, study the tape, and work on their shooting.
They shouldn't give up because of this and the Raptors have shown in the past they can beat the Cavs.
As long as they can fix their defense they may work out to at least a 5 game series.
>>67667911
Doesn't really get any better than this advice. Been there, done that for like 2 years and need to do it again now. Gets you in the best shape.
>>67667919
james johnson was way more effective on lebron than carroll
>>67667987

>>67667973
Yes.
And Ingram is a shitty version of KD.
>>67667907
Before the start of the 2014-2015 season, I wanted to get into the NBA. So I posted here asking for what team I should bandwagon, and the first reply was the hornets, I've been supporting them since that season, I just didnt post here that much.
And yeah, senpai. I am from Venezuela, I might be moving to Argentina next year tho
>>67668011
People posted it. I don't think anyone would lie on the internet.
>>67667991
Only game I actually expect to be competitive and maybe get a W is game 3. The team is not good and is very banged up at this point but the home court might inspire them to 1 win at least
Gonna enjoy my fresh Shawarma while you faggots stay buttmad at the fact we cucked ESPN out of your precious Heat vs LeBron story hahahaha
>>67667984
ikr i just fucking hate ESPN so idgaf if the raptors are swept. I won't over react after 1 game though. That's the casual thing to do.
>>67668030

Just give Ingram whatever they did to Embiid and he's ready
>>67667991

So Canadians of /nba/...what did you guys think of based neck tats' defense on lebron????? He couldn't bully his way into the paint anymore when he had this madman defending him. He's definitely going to be a key to victory...
>>67668060
All they need to do is make sure everyone else follows their defensive assignments, helps against drives with double teams.
Keep passing the ball like they were doing at the beginning of the game.
Shake off their guard defenders with screens so DeRozan and Lowry can score, then collapse with a drive but kick it back to the corner shooter more than actually making an attempt since the Cavs have a height advantage.
If they can do this effectively then as the game goes on a flow can happen and they can get it to all the open guys and make it difficult for the Cavs to defend spot up shooting.
The Raps get killed in the paint offensively and defensively so they need to like on the perimeter in return until Val returns.

As a Pistons fan, they got what they deserved. If you're going to act tough you better not drop the act after the first game.
I fucking hate the Raptors but losing to the Cavs isn't really indicative of anything. Look at game 1 with the Thunder and the Spurs. If OKC beat the Spurs, the gold standard of the NBA, and the Raptors are better than OKC, and the Spurs have historical dominance over lebeta, then the Raptors got a good chance.
Basically what I'm saying is spurs>raptors>okc>lebeta

Whiteside
Randle
Durant
Butler
Clarkson
That's a contender right there.
Timmy has always been a team guy. and I love him to death, but I think he does the ultimate sacrifice for the team. I know that the Lakers are retarded as fuck and would trade players and a shitton of money for Timmy. Hopefully we can get a deal for Randle and turn him into the next Duncan. It stings to think about this but the Spurs way has always been team first, and Timmy will always be a Spur, even if he goes to the Lakers.

>>67668591
In relation to the Wolves part of your post, they are currently in a way better situation than the Lakers franchise. They've actually drafted well and have seriously talented young players. Now they have a legitimate top tier coach. Not sure what KG is doing, if he's still hanging around then that's a huge bonus. The management and ownership isn't a huge cluster fuck. Literally the only things better for the Lakers are history and location. Neither of those things really matters when the franchise is a giant mess thanks to Jimmy.

STOP MAKING FUN OF US!!!!! JUST FUCKING STOP I CANT HANDLE IT!!!!!
STOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
>>67668973
as of today, the Lakers
>>67668973
Celtics have a team of guys who would be the 6th best player on any other playoff team. They will be a first round exit for the next 5 years. Reddit Stevens can only do so much.
>>67668968
since when
>>67668973
Celtics hands down
>>67668973
Which ever team has made the playoffs, has a winning culture currently in the teams locker room, and currently owns picks from a perennial lottery team.
>>67668977
you did it to yourselves shitposting canucks, just leave the thread til the draft
holy shit look at the force that lebron threw that dunk with
>>67668973
At the moment I'd say the Celtics. Better players, coach, management, easier conference and probably plently of room to make moves.
>>67669010
>deflating basketballs now
>>67668973
For right now the Celtics do. This draft will make or break the Lakers. If Simmons/Ingram pan out then their future will be brighter, if they draft a bust they are fucked for the next decade. At least the Celtics are an attractive free agent market, the Lakers have to find success through the draft because nobody wants to sign with them.
>>67669010
Fucking artist
>>67668999
Stevens is 2-8 in the playoffs. Has yet to escape the first round in the shitty East.
Nets have plenty of cap room. They can actually fill out a roster now instead of playing dleaguers. Plus, they have no incentive to to tank so they won't throw games like the usual bottom feeder teams do.
>>67669030
>At least the Celtics are an attractive free agent market, the Lakers have to find success through the draft because nobody wants to sign with them.
The exact opposite of this is true.
Is it possible that /nba/ can bandwagon, as well as jump off the bandwagon, Steph and LeBron at the same time. This is what is happening at this very moment. Does anyone here actually have a favorite team or player, or is it all just... memes?
>>67669064
No, it's not. The Celtics have a very complete team. Good ball movement, good defense, deep roster. The only thing they're missing is a legit superstar chucker who they can rely on as a #1 option. They are a top market for literally superstar free agent. The Lakers have absolutely nothing going for them other than cap space, which the Celtics still have more of.
Who will be the true POINT GOD bros?
Do people understand the Lakers were abject shit last year with no future and they still got interviews with top free agents?
How many free agent interviews did the Twolves, Celtics or Sixers get? Nobody even gives them the time of day.
Now that Kobe is gone and Lakers have a ton of capspace with a top two pick and young assets, free agents will take notice.
Also, the Lakers could trade Dlo and their pick for Jimmy Butler. Butler is a good enough asset to attract a big free agent in an attractive market like LA.
Teams like the Celtics or hornets would not win even 38 games in the West. Leastern conference is laughable
>Iman Shumpert: "I'm going to go home and watch Game of Thrones now. That makes me happy. I'm going to serve the Khaleesi in my next life."
What did he mean by this?
>>67669087
Lakers have DLo and potentially Ben Simmons. That's more upside than the entire meme Celtics team.
Also, nobody gives a shit about Boston. Nobody talks about wanting to play for Boston. You do realize people love to live in LA, even people born in Boston?
Boston is noncontender with zero potential contending pieces. Their only hope is if Brooklyn stinks next year and they get a legit pick.
>>67669064
Not anymore, retard. Jerry West is long gone. He's at Golden State now.
Lakers are fucked. Everyone smart knows they're going nowhere without a management change. Probably ownership.
>>67669097
>Also, the Lakers could trade Dlo and their pick for Jimmy Butler. Butler is a good enough asset to attract a big free agent in an attractive market like LA.
Why would the Bulls want DLO for Butler? That is pants on retarded
>>67669088
Giannis is the way safer bet. Simmons looks like a massive bust.
Do you think the Clippers would blow it up qnd Trade Blake or CP3 to the Lakers for Russell and the pick?
Lakers will sign KD and Conley and maybe Horford
>>67669087
>people think making the playoffs and losing in the first round every year means your team has high upside

>tfw all the good coaches are taken by the time the cavs sweep us

>>67669111
You're delusional. This is exactly what Lakers fan said last year. Simply being L.A. is not good enough anymore. The Lakers missed out on B- free agents like Monta Ellis, Greg Monroe, and LaMarcus Aldridge, and they lost to them to ultra small market teams. Those guys chose Indiania, Milwaukee, and San Antonio over L.A. What makes you think that will change? I'm not a Celtics fans or a Lakers fan, but Boston >>>>>>>>>>>> L.A. in terms of drawing free agents right now.
>>67665209
>Chris Bosh can't play basketball but Derrick Rose can
>>67669140
>>67669097

>>67669166
holy fuck kys
Boston only becomes relevant once LA becomes relevant
Also no one wants to fucking live in boston.
>>67669137
Why in the fuck would the Clippers trade ANYONE to their hometown rivals, in whose shadow they've always lived?
They'll trade Blake to the Celtics JUST to fuck with the Lakers.
>>67669191
you got btfo not gonna lie lol. just stop posting for a bit
>>67669066
>/nba/ is a hive mind
That's not how it works. Some people will jump around whoever is winning I guess. We're not all the same person though. I'm a historical Bulls fan who also enjoys the Celtics (because I dislike the Lakers) and supports Charlotte since they were always my frachise team in 2k since like 2007 or something. I like a lot of individual players too. I suppose LeBron and Jeremy Lin would be at the top of that list. Generally a fan of hard working, unselfish players who show high effort and hustle.
>>67669166
Lakers weren't pursuing Monroe or Monta. They only go after the big fish.
The Lakers stealth tanked last year. That's why they traded for Hibbert . They were just looking to fill out cap space and create the illusion of a team.
People want to play for LA, not old washed up Kobe.
Things will change because
1. Lakers have enough assets for a trade
2. They have enough cap space for two max guys
3. They don't have ballhog Kobe around anymore to piss free agents off
People always make fun of Lakers fans for using the past to judge the future which is what you're doing right now. This year is much different circumstances than last year.
>>67669191
I just told you why that doesn't matter. The city doesn't matter anymore, the teams do. Celtics are the perfect spot for a superstar to land, Lakers aren't even close. Nice argument though, you keep repeating the same delusion.
>>67669097
>Also, the Lakers could trade Dlo and their pick for Jimmy Butler.
This isn't actually a thing, is it?
>>67669142
casey is so bad
JJ, Ross small lineup with no Lowry, derozan and biyombo should have him fired on this spot. JJ and Ross have poor decision making skills and shouldnt be in the same lineup ever, let alone be the primary ball handlers without any rim protection against lelbron. What followed was consecutive turnovers and open 3s from the cavs. Tf did Casey think was going to happen?
>>67669166
>wanting Monta Ellis or Greg Monroe on your team
Who gives a shit where they go? The Lakers got an interview with the best free agent last year and they got a second interview with him. If Kobe wasn't around Aldridge would have signed with The Lakers.
I really hope the dumpster fire philadelphia doesn't draft Simmons.
>>67669230
It is a thing, and it will happen because the Bulls are finished and they're looking to get assets.
Reminder to everyone not to reason with the delusional Lakers fans. It is hopeless. They learn every off season that the Lakers is not a coveted free agents destination just by the location and history but they still say it every season. Just now that Westbrook is gone and they have unproven rookie coming in free agents will flock to the Lakers. That is not the case free agents want a proven roster and a proven coach. Free agents went to the Pacers because of Paul George, Frank Vogel, and Larry Bird. Free agents went to the Spurs because of Pops, Kawhi and their talented and well ran organization.The Lakers have a Snitch, a T-rex, a coach that ran a championship team on autopilot by using Steve Kerr's notes, Roy FUCKING Hibbert, and a bench of D-league rejects. Who in the right minds would go the Lakers?
>>67669212
You're just ignoring what I'm saying, the players don't give a fuck about the city, they want to win. Who do you honestly think the Lakers can sign? Your answer will prove if you're delusional or not. Here's what I think they can realistically get this offseason: DeMar DeRozan and Hassan Whiteside. Those two guys seem like players who will take the city over winning, so L.A. will probably be attractive to them just because it's L.A. If you honestly think Kevin Durant or Mike Conley give a fuck about the city over winning, you're insane. KD will sign with the Celtics 50 times over before he signs with the Lakers. Of course he's probably gonna stay with OKC, and he would sign with the Warriors before the Celtics, but you get my point.
Let's lay out the fucking core of the matter: the Lakers will be SHIT as long as Jim Buss has any say in how the team is run. Jim Buss is a drooling moron. If the team as a whole wants to be elite again Jeanie is going to have to boot her dumbass brother out. The Lakers will be shit until this happens.
>>67669238
>Aldridge would have signed with The Lakers
>>67669238
>This delusion.
Aldridge is 30 m8 he didn't want to go to a shittier rebuilding garbage land
So who are the sixers getting rid of?
Jah is pretty obvious but do you guys think they'll try to shop out Noel or Embiid too?
Noel has to be worth a decent amount right now considering his mobility on defense, I think he could be a rich mans TT/Ed Davis if he improves further. I wouldn't mind him on my team at least.
>>67669251

Also, where are their guards? They have gone the retarded opposite route and invested their future in injured dinosaur big men.
>>67669318
nah, this isn't banter man, you're actually serious. banter is when the Canadians ironically shitpost about winning the championship, even though they know the Cavs are going to destroy the Raptors. thats banter, theyre not actually serious theyre just trying to have some laughs and get some (You)s
you actually believe what you're saying. its genuinely sad.
>>67669310
Only Simmons and Noel are quick enough to stay on the perimeter though. Don't know too much about Saric though but I'm going to just assume he's like most other euros and sucks at D.
Embiid is beefy as complete fuck but I don't think he'll be fast enough for switches on the perimeter. Dude will be a god in the paint though if his injury is truly gone.
Jah is a poor man's Kanter, Sixers would be retarded to keep him. There were trade rumors at the start of the season which was Jah for CJ Mccollum, that shit would've been huge but now CJ probably quadrupled his value compared to the start of the season while Jah's dropped.
Porzingis is actually really good desu. Too bad the Knicks will never be relevant again.

The Lakers are a lot better today than they were yesterday. Either Ingram or Simmons have high upside and fit the Lakers needs.

Once again
1. Kobe is gone
2. cap space for two max guys or three great players
3. Blue chip prospects in DLo and Simmons/Ingram that they can trade
4. Great coastal city with a massive market (the reason why Ben Simmons wants to be drafted there)
So there are all your reasons why this year is different than last year.

>Trade Okafor, Embiid, Saric, next year's Lakers pick, and the entire stash of non-lottery first rounders and second rounders to the Lakers for DLo and the 2nd pick
Then they'll take Simmons and Ingram and have a starting lineup of McConnell/Russell/Ingram/Simmons/Noel with a bench of Covington, Stauskas, Grant, and Holmes (shit enough to get another top pick next year).
>>67669415

>>67669447

>>67669478
yawnn.......stale meme friend
>>67669445
He has a bad attitude and no jump shot. People are comparing his game to LeBron, since hes super athletic and an elite playmaker. But people are forgetting two key things that LeBron has and Simmons doesn't: a good attitude and an immunity to injuries. Simmons is already getting a reputation for not working hard and not caring, similar to Howard, Cousins, Embiid, etc. He's also pretty lanky which means he can injured easily unlike LeBron who never gets injured. If Simmons gets a serious injury that hurts his athleticism he will be Derrick Rose 2.0. He has no jump shot to rely on if his athleticism fails him.
He could be LeBron 2.0 if everything works out but I don't see it happening.
>>67669475
Don't forget basketball reasons.
They also traded for Dwight and gave the other team a corpse.
He also traded for Ariza and gave up nothing
His only failing was basketball reasons. That's what led to the downfall of the Lakers

>>67669451
Kobe being gone is the only thing different. The Lakers have had the other three things for however many years of irrelevance it's been now and it's gotten them nowhere. Especially in free agency. The only slim hope they have is that Kobe being gone might make a Superstar actually want to be the man in LA despite the franchise as a whole being a complete mess right now. That doesn't seem likely.
>>67669471

>>67669451
1. Kobe being gone is a plus but its not a game changer
2. There are literally 15 teams in better situations with just as much cap space
3. DLo is not worth as much as you think he is. Remember, he didn't even place in the top 5 for ROTY voting. His value is low as fuck after his weak rookie season. Simmons/Ingram is worth a lot but it won't get you a superstar in a trade.
4. You keep saying this as if it matters. It does not fucking matter. Superstars want to win, they don't want to chill on the beach all day.

/nba/ was right about my mom's new boyfriend.
>>67669645
>each team got the exact pick according to their exact record
and you think that wasnt rigged? whats the odds of that happening
Lakers literally can't fuck this draft up
Either philly goes full retard and skips out on Simmons or the lakers get Ingram e who is a slightly better fit anyway
/nba/ takes ANOTHER L
>>67669645
Other teams have moved up in the past though, why the fuck have the Nuggets never? Fuck me, they even had two picks worth of ability to move up, and it still never happened.
Once again, all they did was finish 11th or 12th and get a super shitty pick without challenging for playoffs. They've been in that no mans zone for nearly 5 years now and a 7th pick isn't going to fucking save the team. I'm just frustrated and annoyed that more mediocrity is going to come to the team instead of the new Melo that is needed.
Lets play a game of hang man /nba/
Bully ball is _ _ _ _
>>67669708
the odds are pretty good actually. the odds of every team getting their predicted pick are higher than the odds of a team jumping a bunch of spots

this level of delusion is impressive. There was a time when LA was a destination for free-agents because if nothing else the off-court marketing was great. The world is a much smaller place now though. Worldwide marketing can be done from a cabin in the middle of nowhere. It comes down to ownership and the direction a team is heading in and this is why the Lakers will continue to have trouble. Jerry's kids haven't shown any signs of basketball intelligence and that's not changing anytime soon.
But its LA and everyone wants to be here!!!
Just not true any more. Those days are gone and it's time for you guys to lower your expectations.
lmao us canadians amirite ???
FREE healthcare xDDDD
>>67669714
>the new Melo that is needed
But he'd just leave the nuggets for another big market team after they get BTFO in the western conference finals, starting the cycle again
>>67669714
Nuggs will get lucky man, Wolves were basically in the same boat until the Wiggins trade and then the league gave them KAT (which in turn attracted Thibs) to complete the transformation.

i'm eating captain crunch in the morning good night /nba/
>>67669737
I'm interested in seeing how he uses Chandler when he comes back, the guy is a real jack of all trades, and was one of the better 3+D guys in the league before his injuries, hopefully he comes back fine.
>>67669750
ayyy lmao
>>67669738
1.87% would be the odds of jumping up in the draft. The Bulls had a 1% draft of moving up, and a 99% of staying in their spot.
>>67669764
SKREEEEEEEE This never happened its photoshop magic by Hinkie
>>67669764
lol julus randle shud play for the craptors

You can clearly see all of his hopes and dreams getting destroyed, he probably threw all of his cereal as well.
>>67669775
me too can't wait to see chandler back, his broship with jeremy lin was cute
>>67669782
no, its the odds that nobody moves up or down

But at least the team was fun. And anyway, the Nugs rinsed the Knicks with that deal, and would have had more playoff success had Snitchadala not been a bitch.
>>67669754
They have two #1 picks on their team, it's looking nice for them. Nuggets are going to take a bit more time unfortunately. If they got a top 3 pick this year, then the tanking would have stopped and the playoff pushes would begin.
what can we do as a community to get rid of the colalgelos out of the sixers front office and put King Hink back in his rightful place? i mean the nba already gave the sixers the first pick for hiring hinkie so there's nothing they can do to change to take it away if hinkie goes back.

He died as he lived.
Shook.
>>67669315
He's gonna look like a dumbass now when the raptors get swept. Good job
>>67666866
are the two other players still on the team
>>67669843
dont do it laker autist, we were just joking. the lakers might make the playoffs in a few years, its not all bad
Just woke up and turned on ESPN to check the score:
Cavs - 115
(other) - 84
is this a misprint or am I missing something?
might be a repost but whatever.
Any chance guy actually makes it to the first game of the season?
>>67669861
>am I missing something?
You realize the East is pretty shitty and the Raptors suck right? If not then thats what you're missing.
>>67669861
no senpai check my OC, you are right
>>67669874
First play he'll bust his knee
who do the sixers trade if embiid stays healthy and is elite
okafor or noel
>>67669894
>if
>>67669843
kys 7kt your OC was always shit
Will they ever have a chance again to win a title?
name me one reason big ball with simmons and all those young forwards wouldnt work for the 6ers
just play half court and crash the boards and you will murder everybody
>>67669889
this is pretty likely, as long as he can step off the bus without fucking shit up
>>67669894
Joel Embiied would already be dismissed as a massive bust if not for his injury, the dude has zero work ethic.
>>67669843

Hahaha that wouldn't surprise me. Hope your mention doesn't summon them. I've been enjoying this thread. The first one I've hung around in for a long long time.
>>67669843
oh look gomeds is ann hiro again
>>67669903
This desu, I hope it happens, just for something different to watch.
I feel like Simmons should play PG to try and reduce any impact his subpar jumper may have at the start of his career.
>>67669903
Simmons could probably guard opposing PGs, but I don't think Saric would be able to guard opposing SGs without putting too much stress on his joints.
>>67669903
Simmons is most likely tell the Sixers office not to draft him so the Lelakers can get him. Simmons have been sending so much signals that say Lakers or nothing at all
>mfw /nba/ said the Lakers would lose their pick
You don't need to guard point guards in an all center system
Just stand outside the paint have all 5 big man stretch their arms out around the painted area
They should be able to completely block it off
>>67669811
Lance has some awesome moments man. It's a shame he goes over the top retarded sometimes because he's the high effort and hustle type of player I could have really gotten behind.
>>67669925
just sign a couple 3 and D players for defense and spacing
>>67669930
autism
Post all time worst Top 10s. Ill start with 2002
1. Yao Ming
2. Jay Williams
3. Mike Dunleavy Jr
4. Drew Gooden
5. Nicoloz Tskitishvili
6. Dajuan Wagner
7. Nene
8. Chris Wilcox
9. Amare Stoudamire
10. Caron Butler
Yao and Amare the only AllStars, Butler and Nene the only other above replacement level players
>>67669903
Player agents for the top picks have more pull than they let on.
If Simmons says he will only play for LA because of the shoe deal the 76ers won't draft him.
>>67669900
can't even win a dunk contest smdh
>>67669947
>Autism
I am not the Lakesfags tbqh. Simmons will diss the Sixers so he could go to the Lelakers
screencap this
>>67669967
That's what they get for bring their faggot mascot onto the court
Reminder dlo outscored Lebron this year as a 19 year old rookie. the kid is like /nba/ kryptonite
>>67669982
He also outsnitched lebron lmao
>>67669957
or they'll draft him and either the Lakers will trade their pick + cash or they'll own his rights and he will be up shit creek without a paddle.
>>67669946
I'll always be lowkey /lance/ mang, we outchea
>>67669992
really? i beg to differ
>>67670006
lmao you didn't have to slap cuz in the neck
>>67669947
3 and D players aren't easy to get. 3 and D players are the most wanted piece after you have your number 1 and 2 scorers in place.
time for a new.
lets all make one at the same time

Can the grizzlies come back to Vancouver already? I'm tired of cheering for faggot ass casey
>>67669950
2013
1 Anthony Bennett
2 Victor Oladipo
3 Otto Porter
4 Cody Zeller
5 Alex Len
6 Nerlens Noel
7 Ben McLemore
8 Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
9 Trey Burke
10 C.J. McCollum
CJ is the only one that could possibly be an all-star
>>67669998
They won't draft him because the Lakers don't want to burn bridges with the Klutch Sports Group.
Unlike ages ago agents and player representatives have more pull than most people realize.
>>67670055
otto porter is a superstar
>>67670055
Giannis goes #1 in that now, Adams probably top 3.
>>67670055
Oladipo is gud too m8
>>67670056
>agents and player representatives
aka Lebron's high school friend
i just completely shut down some bumbling buffoon's argument on reddit, FeelsGoodMan.
>>67670055
Ola could make it, and obviously CJ but most is pretty shit though

sorry i forgot the slashes plz don't yell
>>67670068
It's a dog eat dog world.
League > Owners > Player union > Player agents/reps > GMs/FO grunts > players > coaching staff
>>67670055
It's got a lot of good roleplayers though. Giannis has a lot more potential than CJ though I won't deny CJ is probably the best among that class right now.
If I had to rank them right now It'd probably be CJ > Giannis > Adams > Dipo > Noel > Schroder > Pope > rest
Bazz, Roberson, Crabbe, Plumlee, Olynyk, and Porter will be in this league for a while, even if they aren't all star material.
>>67670056
teams will acquiesce within reason but ultimately owners still dictate the terms and they are not going to get bulldogged. They proved as much in the CBA negotations.
the Lakers are going to have to give up something, even if it's small, to get Simmons from Philly.
>>67668421
what fucking chinese buffets do they have in Cuckada, it's never above $10 where I'm at
>>67669849
Yeah, he apparently had a bad day. He realized he was stuck on a shitty franchise.
