Draft Thursday
7:30PM ET
>Jordan dunking on white boys in Brazil
1st for LeGod
TYBE
3rd for anime roolz, girls drool
damn I get the feeling Ainge is going to blow this draft and we're gonna end up with some shitty rookie when we could've had Okafor instead.
>>68851592
>wanting waiters on your team
Reminder that the only reason why Kevin Love is hated is because Tristan Thompson is getting more playing time and they do not have a true center.
>>68851642
Sorry Jordan is first
>>68851592
THANK YOU BASED DION
Nets trading one of their two decent players away
Time to get hype for da Celtics picking 1st overall next year
>>68851592
>The Brooklyn Nets have traded Thaddeus Young to the Pacers for the #20 pick tonight and a projected future 2nd round pick
Who #OmahaPacers2017 here?
>>68851692
Are the next batch of rookies good?
>>68851710
JJ Redick is entering the draft
>they'll blow up the team for an unproven rook
>>68851673
We'll give him to you plus WhitePrideWorldWide Kyle Singler and our #50-55 draft pick for your team's SG.
>>68851710
cookies*
>>68851710
no idea
people say next year's draft is much stronger but i know jack shit about any of the prospects
>>68851692
The rest of the league should collude and throw every game against the Nets so they get the 30th pick and fuck over the Celtics
>>68851731
Why? We already got rid of him for based Pipe and Shump
>all these shit teams giving their fans hope on draft day
Kek the only team I see improving is celtics and lelkers (not by much though). Rest will still stay shit as before.
>>68851758
Nice foul.
Were they the biggest surprise of 2016?
Genuinely thought they'd be a lotto team, not a WCSF team.
He's coming home
Jr smith still hasnt put on a shirt. Anyone think the league should let him play shirtless
Pacers have def upgraded but idk, doesn't seem like enough to beat the Cavs
Maybe if they luck into someone on the Cavs getting injured or something
...not to wish injury on anybody or anything
>>68851786
hard to believe they got as far as the spurs did
>>68851786
Well I think things would have been different if the Cloppers would have stayed healthy, that said I was rooting for Portland over Golden State
>>68851787
There is nothing more sad, pathetic, and delusional than this era of lelkers fans
>>68851791
lol breaking news report today that JR finally put a shirt on
Is anyone willing to trade us for Dion?
P-P-Please??? ;_;
>>68851659
Okafor is shit mate
Pacers are going to be a very fluid team next year. I do not trust Monta Ellis as their SG but they will win more games. They are going to be very fun. But they are getting older which might effect how they play.
>>68851786
The West kinda sucks outside of the teams that are constantly top seeds. Although I thought they'd barely make the playoffs through the 8th seed. Teams like the Jazz, Rockets, and Grizzlies all disappointed last year so it made it easier for them.
>>68851839
I still remember when the media was trying to compare him to being the next Dwayne Wade kek
WHO /CLOPPERS/ HERE?
Got my dunce cap in the mail this morning. Gonna wear it proudly!
>>68851792
>Pacers have def upgraded but idk
Nigga you blind.
>Swapping George Hill for a washed up memechucker in the lastr year of a max contract (Pacers pay him bigbux and he bails at end of season)
>Trading only 2 draft picks in the next 4 years for a literally who
The Nets sensed desperation in Indy and offered a shitty deal because someone in the front office is high as fuck.
Go spurs
>>68851871
>canadian banter
>>68851659
>wanting Okafor
>>68851839
Why? Dion Waiters is good and can improve.
>>68851872
Not saying Thad Young is some kind of star, but if he's a "literally who", then you haven't been watching basketball for very long.
Both these trades are good for Indy. They need to win now before PG wants out. Why the fuck would they want rookies?
>Brooklyn has traded forward Thad Young to the Indiana Pacers for the 20th pick and a future 2nd rounder, league sources tell @TheVertical.
OH SHIT THE BROOKLYN NETS ARE GOING FULL "TRUST THE PROCESS" MODE NOW!
Pacers are starting to look legit. I'm getting scared bros.
What the fuck is Larry Bird even trying to do here?
>yfw Richard Jefferson wins TWO rings
>>68851959
Win now before PG blows his knees again
>>68851937
He's not good and he won't improve. His jump shot is awful, he never passes the ball, and he's not even that big to be a good defender.
>>68851937
He'll be 6th man good. I can't see him a starter on any championship tier team.
I used to have high hopes for him in Cleveland, but until he can get his attitude in check and offer more than 6th man quality he'll never really be much.
>>68851959
win one for da land
>>68851536
Spurs should really give him a shot. He'd be a great fit to them in every sense, plus he has significant top-level experience (in EU). He'll be surely invited to the summer league again, we'll see how it turns out.
>Fun fact: there is Hungarian lad in draft this year, namely Rosco Allen. Born in here to local mother and American father, and thought they're living in the US for a while he still claims his home is here.
>>68851951
>commit to a method that is designed to get high draft picks
>do not own your draft picks for the foreseeable future
what did they mean by that?
Question for /nba/:
>[Your favorite team]
>Do you like LeBron?
Mavs fan here, and yes. Only time I didn't root for LeBron in the finals was in 2011 for obvious reasons. LeBron's a decent person who's achieved great things in spite of his upbringing, while Jordan is the biggest cunt ever, so it brings me a lot of potential joy knowing the agony Jordan would suffer if most people started recognizing LeBron as the better player.
>>68851974
He improved to an average shooter this year playing within himself. 36%. He's one of the best drivers in the league too. I've seen him body Draymond in the post, he's definitely strong enough. He showed character in the playoffs. He played within himself and brought value. And he can still improve.
>>68851975
He doesn't need to be a starter but he brings value off the bench.
>>68851939
>>68851959
PG already has one foot out the door, there's no way he stays when his contract runs out. The pacers are in full "implode bankers life" mode right now, and are gonna take the money and run to the western conference since the NBA won't be able to convince Toronto to do it.
>>68851969
Win 45 games? Cool I guess.
Monta Ellis for Danilo Gallinari straight up who says no
>>68852050
The Nuggets hang up the phone and block Bird from ever contacting them again. That's a fucking terrible trade for them. Monta has almost no trade value.
>>68852021
>He doesn't need to be a starter but he brings value off the bench.
Ehh, he won't bring much value until he gets his head straight, his ego checked, and learns to play offense off of the ball.
If LeBron couldn't get him to buy in, who will?
>>68851939
If they wanted to win now they should've kept George Hill, who can defend both guard positions, shoot spot up 3s, create off the dribble and on pick and rolls, and play decently off the ball when PG or Monta have it. Now they have a guy who's basically a rich man's Monta Ellis.
>warriors loss sparks their fire
>goes 82-0
>>68852050
nigga are u retarded
>>68852064
What about Faried?
>>68851951
Now they need to trade Monta for a 3 and D guy to put next to Teague then they'll be set. They could give Cleveland some issues in the playoffs if they stay healthy.
>>68852092
>8. Terrence Ross
>>68852092
Portland and Detroit really lucked out.
>>68852082
>implying the warriors have any chance of being better next year than they were this year
>Why? Dion Waiters is good and can improve.
>>68852096
Closer, but still no. And I'm a Nuggets fan, btw. Monta really isn't a good fit on the Nuggets at all.
>>68852092
>Warriors where one spot away from drafting a non-glass cannon center
>>68852112
I can't believe this nigga got extended for 3 years 33 million
Imagine a world where the Cavs drafted Victor Oladipo instead of Anthony Bennett.
you now remember Josh Childress
>>68852092
Is this the worst draft ever?
>>68852092
Kind of amazing how the Warriors get two decent players and an All Star in one draft.
>>68852139
kek hopefully his ass gets traded tonight
i don't think people understand how good kyrie played these Finals
He definitely is the best PG in the league right now
>>68852159
Are you literally retarded?
>>68852159
2013 draft is worse.
2012 draft had Lillard, AD, and Drummond.
>>68852124
He's undersized, 30 years old, plays no defense, and can't shoot 3s. He's not a good fit anywhere. At best he can be an 8th man off the bench for a contender.
>>68852135
Draymond is a much better center than him anyway
>>68852159
Easily, I didn't realize how fucking weak it is, it's up there with 2000.Literally a 5-player draft, the rest are bums
>>68851677
Love is hated because he's shit on defense, and was long overrated due inflated stats on a timberwolves team that never got close to sniffing the playoffs. If Love was actually as good as people made him out to be, the Wolves would have at least once finished ahead of a Mavs team that rolls out a roster of "Literally whos" every year and still manages to grab the 7-8th seed.
I will give him credit for game 7 though. He stepped up his defense and rebounding a lot in that game, and the Cavs wouldn't have won without him.
>>68852120
he always looks like what would happen if you let a retard loose in a department store and told him to pick out an outfit.
>>68852147
Why? Oladipo has been a disappointment, and Cleveland still would have traded him to Minny for Love anyway.
>>68852147
That entire draft class was just... weird and awful.
>Anthony fucking Bennett #1
>Alex Len and one of the Zellers (i can't tell them apart) in the top 5
>MCW won ROY
>somehow Schroeder, Gobert, and the Greek Freak were drafted later than any of these guys
>>68852212
>Schroder
kek
>>68852185
Exactly. So why the hell would anyone think they can get a proven starter for him?
https://youtu.be/JG50FwS7PzA
pls respond
>>68852159
>>68852191
are you retarded? It's not even the worst of this decade
>>68852021
>He doesn't need to be a starter but he brings value off the bench.
He absolutely does.
He's the closest thing OKC has to a third ball handler and third scorer. Roberson is only starting because of his defense and hurts on offense as being a none factor. So much than Draymond completely ignored him just to protect the paint and make OKC settle for jumpshots. Andre hurts the team in the long run as a SG if he can't shoot his threes.
Dion can be, and is expected to be, their third man, not 6th.
This USA team is looking mighty trash 2bh
>>68852170
this
>>68852191
That's what I'm saying. There is maybe 3 quality picks in the first round and everything else is value pick/complete fucking waste of space.
You could not field an even semi competitive team with this class.
>>68852219
he's clutch dude, watch this years highlights from cavs matchup
>>68852208
>CJ McCollum and Steven Adams turned out to be the best players in the entire draft class
JUST
>>68852208
>CJ
>MCW
>Giannis
JUST
>>68852219
>>68852250
i used to like him until he got rowdy in the playoffs. i thought he was a nice dude.
>>68852208
>>68852231
Yeah this draft was brutal. Crazy that the two best players were picked 15 and 27.
>>68852231
Christ it just gets worse the more you look at it
>>68852250
People overrate "clutch" play so much it's not even funny anymore.
>>68852240
There's a real chance that they could win silver instead of gold. Then everyone will freak out, there will be a ton of pressure on our players, and a star-studded team led by Old Man Lebron will curbstomp everyone in 2020.
>>68852231
I have a strong feeling that the Spurs got cucked HARD by the Jazz selecting Gobert 1 spot ahead of them.
>>68852267
12*
>>68852267
#10 averages 20ppg on a playoff team.
>>68852234
Roberson can finish at the rim and underneath on cuts to the basket. His jumper is weak but he averaged a double double his senior year in college. Hes not a weak player
>kawhi is having a kid this summer
you guys told me he was autistic how he havin a kid
Steve Bulpett @SteveBHoop
League sources say Portland trying hard to get into first round. Celtics (aka the http://amazon.com of draft picks) open for business.
>>68852267
CJ McCollum is good too. Schroder and Oladipo aren't terrible. But everyone else is journeyman status or garbage.
>Draft order locked. NBA says draft-related trades aren't official yet, meaning you will still see Utah at No. 12, Indiana at 20.
So Silver will keep announcing as the night goes on.
>>68852279
gobert was on top of the spurs board at that point
>>68852297
cause he's rich and famous
>>68852208
Jesus there's only like 5 worthwhile players there
>>68852208
goodness gracious!!! how did everyone go wrong! good lordy!
Is Allen Crabbe a free agent?
>>68852282
>>68852286
>>68852309
If 2013 is re-drafted I'd bet Giannis goes #1 and Gobert goes #2, followed by CJ, Adams, Schroeder, and Oladipo. It gets pretty damn ugly after that.
>>68852302
Aminu for #16 and #23
So who do you think will replace Barnes for us, lads?
>>68852278
I doubt it m8. Who's the biggest challenge? Usually it would be Spain but Pau is old and Marc probably won't play.
>>68852208
the 2013 NFL draft was actually even worse
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_NFL_Draft
>>68852322
Sabonis is going home
>>68852354
He's restricted so I doubt Portland lets him go. They'll probably let Henderson walk instead.
>>68852159
Not even fucking close you pleb. Literally google 2000 draft.
>>68852373
Dion Waiters
>>68852297
>>68852328
he married her before she was pregnant right, right?
>>68852328
someone shop this so she's just holding on to a very big bag of money
because that's all i see
>>68852297
He's not autistic, he's just professional and doesn't like talking to the media.
>>68852392
2013 might honestly be worse
>>68852291
Those are open cuts, literally every single play is expected to make those plays.
A real test is contested and he's regularly stripped of the ball or makes a turnover when he makes regular cuts during the season.
He's not a scrub, very promising future, but on a immediate championship contention team he's not going to cut it. He'll be ready in 3 years not now.
>>68852231
>On January 28, 2014, Bennett recorded 15 points and 8 rebounds in a 100–89 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans.[17] It was the first double-figure scoring game in his NBA career, coming after 33 games—three times as long as any previous No. 1 overall pick. Almost two-thirds of all previous top picks scored in double digits in their first game.[18] On February 11, 2014, Bennett recorded his first career double-double with 19 points and 10 rebounds in a 109–99 win over the Sacramento Kings.[19] In 2013–14, he played 52 games while averaging 4.2 points and 3.0 rebounds in 12.8 minutes per game.[20
>On September 28, 2015, Bennett signed a one-year deal with his hometown team, the Toronto Raptors.[27][28] He made his debut for the Raptors on October 30, recording three rebounds and one steal in a 113–103 win over the Boston Celtics.[29] On December 20, Bennett requested that the team send him to Raptors 905 of the NBA Development League.[30][31] He played for Raptors 905 in their game against the Delaware 87ers, recording 13 points and 4 rebounds in a 105–94 win, becoming the NBA's first No. 1 overall pick to play in the D-League.[32] He returned to Toronto later that night for their game against the Sacramento Kings.[33] He later received three more assignments to Raptors 905.[34] On March 1, 2016, he was waived by the Raptors.[35] Bennett's love for the game was questioned during his tenure in Toronto, and the organization grew increasingly frustrated with his inability to grasp the cut-throat world of the NBA despite their attempts to work with him.
>>68851763
Sixers are getting a 6'10 Jason Kidd with a 41.5" vertical. Even if the rest of their organization is shit once he enters his prime he should be enough to get them into the playoffs every year.
>>68852405
I don't think they're married.
2000 was definitely better than 2013, 2000 had a bunch of really solid roleplayers
2013 has a bunch of trash and a few solid roleplayers
>>68852006
>Celtics
>No
I respect his game and I believe he is Top 10 right now and has been unarguably the best player in the league since 09 or 10. However, his antics off the court are head scratching and at times is corny as fuck because he cares too much about his reputation. Also the way he handled The Decision and forcing Blatt out of Cleveland was disgraceful. He is a great ambassador for the league and is probably a really nice guy, but I don't like him. Seems like he'd fuck me over if I was his friend and we were in a situation.
>>68852454
Yeah but 2013 has Giannis.
>>68852322
This is so fucking stupid, why is the NBA still behind the times on this? Every year 50% of the draftees end up wearing the hat of team they'll never play for and everyone watching already knows it. Just cut the charade already.
Looking back at last year's draft, KAT is still unarguably #1.
But who do you think the Lakers take at #2, in hindsight? Honest opinions, no memes.
>>68852248
That's how most drafts are. Drafts like 96 and 03 are the exception.
>>68852484
Lakers should have taken Okafor
>>68852484
Myles Turner
I completely forgot that the #3 was originally the nets pick. If this PHI/BOS trade goes through and Philly gets Dunn, that might be the best thing Billy King has ever done for that team.
>>68852484
Okafor
>>68852484
Booker, honestly.
>>68852484
Probably stick with Russell or take Porzingis, desu. Last years draft was loaded though, so they couldn't go wrong. The only lottery pick without all-star potential is Kaminsky.

Kyrie is good no doubt, but playing next to LeBron is like the perfect situation for him. If he were forced in to the role of primary distributer, he wouldn't have nearly as many opportunities to score on offense.
Also, he's still mostly a one-way player. I'd rank Westbrook above him tbqh

>>68852555
That's a fucking terrible list, most of those guys flamed out of the league with injuries. Mike Miller is probably the best player there and his greatest accomplishment was winning 6MOY and coat tailing Lebron. Giannis alone probably makes 2013 better than 2000.

Good example dude I hope he gets picked in the 2nd atleast. Not sure anyone will with that statline though
>>68852665
He reminds me of JR Smith. Enough athleticism to be a little more than a spot up shooter but not skilled enough with his handle or passing (especially at 22) to be a primary (or even secondary) ball handler.

I think he might. He's 22 already though. Might be too old. Needs solid coaching too.
>>68852607
What's funnier is that the first two (Duncan and Robonson) also did it for the same team
say hello to your new meme player /nba/

But Klay Thompson and Draymond Green were the better two of the three.
>>68852803
>>68852800
>>68852786
Keep in mind that JR Smith with a good head on his shoulders could have been this year's JR six years ago. That's a good player. Not a star or anything but a solid starter.

Orlando is one of several teams pursuing Jimmy Butler. Also, Houston is trying to get into the 1st round and is offering Patrick Beverley
3:38 PM - 23 Jun 2016
>>68852686
wew lad Boston has officially reached Lelkers tier delusion
If you're Cleveland and Love is on the market would you rather have Crowder, a late first rounder, and some 23 year-old athletic benchwarmers or Serge Ibaka?
anyone literally care about basketball less now that skip left espn first take?
>Buddy Hield shot 85 out of 100 three pointers in his Boston Celtics workout
>>68852732
david robinson and tim duncan. olajuwon was the year before the lottery started
is he stuck?
he's a terrible leader and ball facilitator.
I think Houston should get a real PG and have him feed Harden or Dwight the ball.

Why the fuck would Chicago want Ibaka if they're starting over. Ibaka is just as old as Butler is, if not older.
>>68852912
Ibaka 100%
>>68852952
You still have KD who is cursed.
>>68852967
Dion Waiters is involved in the deal too, looks like he is the star of the future for the Bulls

Your mom's pussy is cursed loser.

Kevin pls
Just apologize.
>>68853005
fine, throw in Payne or Dion or something

He's the much better player but the only concern is that wing depth might be more important with RJ a year older, JR possibly leaving, and LeBron aging into a 4.

They already beat the best meme chucking team of all time.

That's not a meme chucking team

The Bulls.
Raptors are pursuing Paul Milsap.
Are we just building the team with expired Hawks contracts now or what? What the fuck is Masai doing?
>>68853038
this is low-key a pretty scary starting lineup. won't have much longevity, their window is only really for the next season or 2, but this could make some waves.
>>68853038
This is only a 3 seed even if Myles Turner hits his ceiling next season. No depth, no shooting.
Catalonia supports lakers.
>>68853069
Well Hawks did finish first in the east two years ago
Which center are we most likely to get in FA?
>>68853069

Good defender good scorer
>>68853027
JR isn't leaving, he's going to re-up with the Cavs he wants to be here, LeBron wants him here, Cleveland wants to be here, and the whole team wants him here.
I can't see him going away.
>Boston not realizing they can fix the whole mess theyre in by just giving back the #3 pick for brook
>>68853060
Whether they're good at it or not, they're going to jack up a lot of 3s next season.
The Portland Trailblazers, led by Dame "the realest nigga in the league" Dolla "DON'T MAKE ME SHIT ON A NIGGA" Lillard who out memed the memeiors and showed up Wardell "softest bitch in the league" Stephen "lightskinned bitch" Curry and their lair, the Moda Center which requires the finest of blood as a sacrifice
The Oklahoma City Thunder, led by Russell "Kobe" WESTGOD the most savage, athletic, and effay player in the history of ball. Kevin Durant, Steven Adams, Dion "the Argentinian slayer Waiters" and Turkish Freddie Mercury. Who ethered the Spurs and banished Spurdora posters to the shadow realm, exposed the Warriors small ball lineup, exsposed Steph Curry as a soft faggot regular season baby that's SHOOK by physical playoff basketball and off the ball defense, were the first to BTFO out of Warriors, and their masterful coach Billy Donovan, who plays only the most difficult of games, set the blueprint for all the teams to come after.
Then there's the Cleveland Cavaliers led by LeBron "the true MVP" "King" James, Kyrie "Uncle Drew" " The young God" Irving, JR "Pipe" Smith, Kevin "3:16" Love, and Tristan Thompson. The most physical, absolutely dominant, and divined team by the basketball gods to win the championship with the greatest story line the NBA has ever seen, with the greatest player since Michael Jordan leading it with his legacy on the line and his hometown in his heart.
This trifecta cannot be broken.
This trio is unperturbed by the media.
They don't care about regular season records.
They don't care about meme players and their overrated defense.
These teams gives zero fucks.
Now they will dominate the NBA for years to come and thwart any efforts made by the memeiors.

>>68852952
Bulls GM would probably die from laughter if he heard the Thunder unironically propose that trade.
Jimmy Butler is not only a better player than Ibaka, but also has a much better contract and the Thunder first rounders are expected to be practically worthless for the immediate future.

>>68853207
It might have something to do with the fact that Rose is hot garbage while Jimmy Butler is one of the best two-way players in the league
>>68853207
rose was traded bcause of supposed locker room problems w butler
and they got a player on a decent contract (lopez), a young guy that they can mold (grant but good luck) and an expiring, which gives them way more freedom to build around butler. why trade him after securing financial freedom to support him?
>>68853238
Go to any New York Knicks related comment section on the internet. Or just use the archive from last offseason to see the Knicks fans on here predicting playoffs. For a city that claims to be the basketball capital of the world they are full of casuals.

Could there be a sign and trade with GSW? If I'm OKC KD is absolutely off the table unless they get Green or Klay Thompson out of it

Reminder that Lebron was leading a terrible squad to the finals by his 4th year and has already been in more finals than MJ.

>>68853660
Davis
How do we fix the Bulls?
>>68853814
Assuming for Okafor. Nerlens was picked 6th in the worst draft ever and hasn't even panned out to be the 6th best player of that class (in no order: Giannis, Gobert, McCollum, Steven Adams, Schroder are all better).
>>68853840
For what? No gm in their right mind would give a pick that high for him. He is injury ridden, unproven, possibly older than he says like every other African born, and did not take rehab seriously which caused him to miss even more time.
thad can't shoot for shit and a ball hog at times
i wish nets got a little bit of a higher pick but not sad to see him go
>>68853888
Reminder that Lebron's only competition for his entire career in the East was a half crippled Bulls team
>>68853845
Ibaka + future picks would easily get the Thunder a top 7 pick.

I thought he could of at least gotten us around 15 but 20 isn't that bad. Nets have 50M in cap space, hopefully they use it on some good young talent
Sucks for Thad though, dudes been traded so many times over the past few years and him and his family seemed to enjoy being in Brooklyn.

Nah. Okafor gets traded and the Sixers hope and pray that Embiid actually sets foot on the floor
Ricky Rubio had a better TS% than Porzingis last year
>>68853984
"Was" being the key word. They had like 2 years of health before being crap
>>68853840
you mean okafor or noel
>>68854044
Watching Porzingis try to score in isolation in the post was painful
>>68854051
>They had like 2 years of health
They had exactly 1 season. 10/11 was the first season with Thibs and Rose died in the first play off game of 11/12
>>68854044
Rick Rubio isn't 20
>>68853903
I remember when Knicks fans thought Porzingis was better than Towns early in the year. That was funny as fuck.
>>68854044
Porzingis is literally Gallanari 2.0: a foreign flash in the pan playing in a large media market. The NY press proclaimed him Dirk Reincarnated during that time.
>>68854135
I need a John Wall one
>>68853999
When MJ finally overcame the Celtics they were aging and past their prime.
I will concede that the Pistons were a real threat, but people always forget when Lebron broke into the league and started leading the godawful cavs they were facing stiff competition from the Celtics as well.
>>68854044

You should probably do your research and look up the ages.

I'd rank westbrook over curry tbqh. Westbrook is really streaky, but he has shown he can pick up his team in the playoffs when they really need it, as opposed to Curry who has yet to show the ability to perform under pressure.
Also, Westbrook is better on defense.

I personally think it's a decent trade but I know/nba/ will disagree with me. I think butler is sort of overrated and his numbers inflated by his really high usage rate.
>>68854528
>Jordan-less Bulls team managed to reach the ECF.
They didn't. And don't compare the 90-93 team to Lebron's first Cavs, comparing them to Miami makes much more sense
>>68854528
The years Jordan got keked by Boston he didn't have Pippen. Those 80s bulls teams were also hot garbage, his team would barely make it into the playoffs. Jordan would average over 40ppg and he still couldn't make it past the first round.

The thing about lebron haters is they see the absolute for lebron, i.e. he can't win without other helping players, but excuse mj for his team being bad
I don't get why they have to make excuses but condemn lebron for stuff like that.

wow, totally forgot gervin was on the bulls
>>68854621
Their first few years into the league they both were on awful teams. Hot garbage. Jordan had much, much tougher competition compared to Lebron that is fact. Lebron's competition were:
Celtics team whose big 3 were all in their 30s
Choking Bulls team
Orlando meme 3 point shooting team
>>68854515
Yeah it would be great to see. Plus man if Thompson had a jumper it would be make him super effective.
TRADE THE FUCKING PICK ALREADY

>>68854684
I don't think the pick is getting traded until Ingram is off the board at #2 regardless of what offers they get for it.
>>68854459
Curry sucked in last year's finals too. The only reason why anybody knows who fucking Dellavedova is is because he shut down Curry last year.
People ragged on Dirk as a choker despite the fact that he ALWAYS had better numbers in the playoffs than the regular season, but people want to give Curry a pass despite him vastly underperforming his regular season numbers in the playoffs constantly.
Superstars typically overperform their normal stats in the playoffs, not underperform. Curry is a legitimate choker, you can't argue around this.
>>68854686
Nash is coaching.
Tristan Thompson is their star.
>>68854666
yeah well if you diminish everything like that of course it can look bad
"Orlando meme" makes it sound like Dwight wasn't a monster that no one on the Cavs could guard and that Celtics team was literally a championship-level team that whipped the Lakers and could have whipped them again if they didn't lose perkins

How does that contradict what I said? The Bulls lead by Pippen w/o Jordan were still a very good team, while the Cavs and even Heat teams without LeBron could never do shit.

Yeah. I don't get the 80s dick sucking. Did Jordan ever have to deal with Thibodeau's defense?
Please colangelo trade the #1 pick... its not too late

>>“One time Damon [Stoudamire] caught Ruben jerking it to a Victoria’s Secret catalogue. The guys wouldn’t let him live that down. He was Lubin’ Ruben after that. Rasheed [Wallace] and Zach Randolph were relentless. Those two made his life hell, calling him Lubin’ Ruben every chance they got. Ruben once told me he was contemplating “taking them out in front of everyone in the locker room”

The Heat were 1 game away from the ECF without Lebron and with Bosh dying while still taking up max cap space.

How can anyone stop this team?

whaddya think
>>68854849
>>“Darius Miles. Where do I even start with him? He got it pretty bad too. There were multiple times that Rasheed would run into the locker room completely nekkid, point to his genitals, say “Look, the second biggest bust in the room!,” and then look directly at Darius. Zach and Derek Anderson thought this was the funniest thing. He once even did it on the court when Coach Cheeks wasn’t looking.

A Bulls team with Michael and no Pippen couldn't even go .500 during the regular season

It really is. The Bad Boy Pistons are so well known only because of their meme antics and the fact that nobody expected a team constructed like that to ever win a championship. They essentially the equivalent of the 2011 Mavs who somehow magic'd their way to a Finals win despite nobody in their right mind actually predicting them as a legitimate contender before they won.

How about you talk about the year right after LeBron left the Heat when they had a 37-45 record despite replacing LeBron with an actually decent SF in Luol Deng, and completely missed the playoffs?
