celtics on suicide watch edition
*Jalen's son
Winner of the 1st round: Denver Nuggets
knicks
will there be a draymond green this year?
Im here, you can relax
>>68863403
76ers cucked Bill simmons
>Boston traded Deyonta Davis and their 35th pick for a future Memphis first rounder.
Kill me
>>68863419
I really laughed
RIP TWIGMAN AND HOPES OF CHINA
>Trading for a late 1st round pick next year
What the FUCK is Ainge doing?
>Ryan Bernardoni @dangercart 5m5 minutes ago
>Clips pick the Celtics are getting is 1-14 protected in 2019, 1-14 in 2020, converts to a 2022 2nd after that. Low upside and distant...
im tying the noose right now
Losers of the first round: Sacramento Kings
Who /bendsforbender/ here?
is there a restriction on the number of foreign players each team can have?
Is Mark Tatum a jew?
TYBH
is there anything more JUST than being the first guy in the second round???
>>68863461
I dont think so
>>68863465
He looks part asian
Is he the next elite pg?
>>68863465
He looks like a Pacific Islander
>>68863437
>Ainge finally makes a good pick
>immediately fucks it up
>>68863461
No. There was a joke that the Celtics would just draft all international players and tell them to stay overseas because there are only 15 roster spots and they have 8 picks in this one draft when you normally get 2.
JUST
>>68863454
>Losers of life: Sacramento Kings
fixed
60 wins next season? I think so
>>68863450
Cloppers are on the verge of collapse. One of their big 3 is going to be moved and CP3 is probably leaving soon. Once that happens, they'll stop being able to coast on the success of basketball reasons and go back to being a bottom feeder.
Great move for Memphis. That 2019 clips pick will be 16 at best. these early seconds are great value picks.
HOLY SHIT HES SO SAD LOL
>>68863500
Ballmer will probably move them to Seattle once they lose CP3
Davis wants to die lmao
What did he mean by this?
>>68863496
>1 pick away from guaranteed millions
That must suck.
>Draft player with highest potential in draft
>Draft next Paul Millsap
>Draft best C prospect
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA STAY MAD /NBA/
>MFW JOSH JACKSON IS DRAFTED TO A 55 WIN TEAM NEXT YEAR
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
WE CANT LOSE
Ainge is a fucking idiot.
>>68863496
If he dropped at 31 and got flipped over for another draft pick then he's almost a bust.
>>68863500
Lol, they have too many assets to collapse by 2019. Come on.
this dude sound depressed af
>Lakers
Kek
>>68863500
the pick is lottery protected
Dude look so mad
And since when were there so many damn croatians in the NBA?
its a good gamble for memphis
>>68863499
> a player that makes you worse makes you better
Knicks fans
>>68863530
They only have 3 assets: CP3, Griffin, and Jordan.
>Zubaz
god I love the asian man with a black voice
Cue the Gaymond tweet @ Deyonta Davis...
>>68863526
>The five stages, denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance are a part of the framework that makes up our learning to live with the one we lost. They are tools to help us frame and identify what we may be feeling.
sup nigs, as an outside fan, who should I be looking out for from this draft? I'm not a fan, but I enjoy a good apehoop game every now and then.
>Sources: New Orleans trading to get the No. 33 pick from the Clippers, sending Clippers No. 39 and 40.
DIAMOND STONE WHEN??
>>68863538
They obviously can't bottom out in a year, but they can get to 15ish if they lose CP3 or Blake
What's up fellers?
why are we watching this?
>deyonta davis
>>68863580
To see the next Isaiah Thomas
>Chinanu Onuaku S T I L L not drafted
this has gone beyond power nap levels of sleeping on him
Cheik em
>Spurs somehow win a draft with only 4 good players despite picking 32nd
THEY CAN'T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
>>68863580
To laugh at the Celtics.
Also its the last time we can talk to each other until the Olympics.
>>68863580
Nothing better to do and nothing else on
Also I wanna see how much more the Celtics can fuck up
Who will draft Isiah Cousins, bros?
I never pay attention to this part. Oklahoma City coming out of this OK?

>>68863591

That too.
When does that start again?
SUNS KILLING DRAFT
ISIAH THOMAS 2.0
>>68863614
Loooooolll
>>68863403
So, looks like Chicago got another injury-prone phenom. Sure, he almost puts up a triple-double every game in his senior year, but this dude has glass knees. Will he stay healthy, and will Butler-Valentine be the next dynamic duo of the East?
Why didn't Spurs pick Tyler Ulis
lmao chingchong chinaboy isn't gonna get picked
>>68863614
srs who cares its the second round
>>68863632

>drafting literally the exact guy you traded away over a year ago

>>68863643

>>68863614
Not an NBA fan. Just dropping in. Can someone tell me what the Celtics did that was so bad?
>>68863299
worst to best
1. kwame brown '01
2. anthony bennett '13
3. andrea bargnani '06

>>68863605
Nothing happens on free agency and if it does it takes days and weeks.
>>68863643
Murray is better and isn't a manlet
>>68863664
They had 8 picks and were planning on trading them for a star player. No other team wanted to trade so they kept the picks and just drafted a bunch of random unproven european players, some of whom might not even come to the NBA.
>>68863664
Nothing desu
They just ignored most draft boards out there
>>68863667
>KAT that low
>>68863685
Nice
is he an elite point guard?
>>68863667
Kwame Brown might be shit but he's still better than Bennett. Bennett should have been a late 1st rounder at best but Cavs decided to go full retard.
2nd round, time for the American's that actually played on contending NCAA teams to get drafted
who did the knicks get??
What did he mean by this?
>>68863667
are you fucking kidding?
bennett has been way worse than kawame. kawame actually has done shit.
lol KAT will MOVE UP TO 14
>>68863675
I think the rumors are worth something this year and when it happens it will really happen. I will enjoy listening to radio down here. they have good sources down here
>Houston will select Chinanu Onaku
wtf is with niggers naming their children man
>Draft a power forward
>Trade for a better power forward, who could just leave next year
>When your current power forward is you most exciting player already
I don't know what's going on. At least Oladipo AND Vucevic weren't moved, as they are the offense. But Vuc could be moved too later on.
>>68863618
durant
>>68863701
no picks
>>68863614
depressing
>>68863403
>celtics
>suicide watch
can someone explain to me wtf was the point with that lakers pick???
>>68863706
>>68863688
its been 1 year he will be lower for sure, but right now theres not much to rate him on besides conjecture
>>68863629
Wizard
>>68863629
hey I was right
>>68863667
Bennett was worse than Brown. Brown at least stayed in the NBA for more than 2 years
>>68863723
What do you mean? That was a great pick regardless of whether hes stash or not
They need a 7 footer who isnt sacre
>>68863707
>Chinanu Onaku
He sounds like he might actually be from Africa. That name is probably completely normal for his nation/tribe.
>>68863724
Just saying, KAT's rookie year was better than AD's.
>Ainge promises Stevens that he isn't going to have to develop a bunch of rookies next season
>signs extension
>drafts 2 "potential" talents, 1 draft and stash, and trades away a player of need
Anyone else feel bad for Based Brad?
>>68863664
They had 8 picks. Which is a lot. The grand plan was to use these picks in trades in order to add a bonafide star to their team. They apparently failed to complete trades for superstars this week, were forced to make their picks, and picked players that were not as coveted as players drafted later. Some of their picks may be good, but for where their team is right now, they need guys who can improve them immediately, not help 3 years away. That their GM is constantly being hailed as a genius by their fans, there is a lot of schadenfreude
>>68863707
With a name like that you have to be an athlete. That's why
>>68863708
This allows them to be buyers in next years free agent market
Orlando seems like a nice safe place to live
I'm a bit late, who did the Knicks pick?
>>68863754
>Jimmy Butler
>Nerlens Noel
>bonafide star
>>68863768
As long as you aren't Jason Collins I'm sure it is
>>68863754
>celtics are literally the youngest team in the nba
>oldest player next year will be Isaiah Thomas who is 27
>they're in win now mode
kys faggot
>>68863707
this nigger actually sounds like he's from Africa. Not Chinanu Jefferson or some shit then I'd agree with you, nigger anon.
> Ainge knows
>>68863768
no one wants to to orlando because their front office is shit
Tyler Ulis, and Devin Booker reunited. The suns absolutely killed this shit
>>68863747
just saying, pic related's rookie year was better than paul george
that means hes objectively better right?
>>68863795
Paul George went first?
>>68863774
That you don't think butler is sort of invalidates your opinion on basketball
bill simmons and the celtics can suck the biggest bag of dicks on planet earth
>m..m..m...m...muh leverage
>m..muh avery bradley is untouchable
>b..but jae crowder is really good y..you sure you don't want to g..give us a superstar for him straight up???
AHAHAHAHA FUCKING FAGGOTS ENJOY WATCHING YOUR MIDDLING LOSERS GET ELIMINATED IN THE FIRST ROUND AGAIN
>>68863664
They have been stockpiling picks and young players in hopes to have some good young guys and assets. However, no one wanted the picks. Last draft they tried to trade nine picks just to land Justise Winslow couldn't even do that so they drafted a bunch of guards
>>68863754
>for where their team is right now, they need guys who can improve them immediately
because their window is closing?
>>68863793
They'll find a way to fuck up. They always do
So many fucking international players taken this draft.
>>68863403
I like Bill, but he can be wrong sometimes
I'm a Mavs fan
Will they ever be good again? Or do I forever have to live with Cuban dicking this team
>>68863793
How much longer until Kings trade WCS to them?
Tonight the Celtics fucked up and prevented themselves from winning a championship in the next five years.

It was pretty nice. Hot as fuck in summer, went out barefoot, huge mistake. Pools were warm.
One was cold.
It was ok.

>naming your son diamond stone
I missed the entire draft so far. What all did I miss?
>play draft kings in real life
>still lose
HOW
>>68863805
>missing the point
all im saying is one year doesn't mean shit, esp when its your rookie year. I don't disagree that Towns will probably be great, but thats not a certainty at this point
>>68863822
Maybe when Dirk is done playing they can start the downswing, that might be the first step to an upswing?
>>68863825
out of all first names why pick one that not only is feminine but is a fucking stone
>>68863847
Celtics lost
Suns won
everyone else did what they were supposed to for the most part

>>68863806
He is a #2 or #3 guy at best, certainly not a bonafide star. Even if the Celtics pay a king's ransom to acquire him they would need fill the gaps through free agency and they're not a lucrative free agent town.
Kevin Durant won't come over just because Jimmy Butler is there.
>>68863910
ive heard he tracks his man masterfully

Couldn't get anybody to give them anything for them

>>68863897
Nets will be atrocious. That one retarded Russian fuck single handedly ensured ainge job security for fifteen years.
>>68863847
right now it looks like the celtics imploded
Rockets trying too hard to recreate
>>68863909
They reached hard, couldn't get a deal done for the 3rd overall pick. They won't have this high of a draft pick for a while, they fugged up
>>68863910

Giannis

Lebron now? No. Lebron once his age starts to show and/or he goes to LA? Yes.
ZHUCCI MANE
>>68863945
>They won't have this high of a draft pick for a while, they fugged up
The Nets will be in full tank mode for the next 5 years and the Celtics still have two more unprotected first round picks from them.

>>68863907
"Caught up with" or "can be stashed overseas and effectively increase your roster size"
Also, OF COURSE the rockets pick a marketing meme to solidify their Chinese fanbase. Pick probably makes them $10 million profit the minute they bring him over.
>>68863963

>>68864018
Houston has been pandering to China since they got Yao. they are the most popular team in the country with the most people.
>>68864017
You must be out of your fucking mind. LeBron will slow down just like Kobe did at age 32.
>>68864031
where is KD going anyway?
RIP YUROP
>people getting this assblasted over the 43rd pick because he's from china
Who cares? Even starters don't touch the ball on Harden's team. It doesn't matter who Houston picked.
What am I missing about the Suns draft? Bender and Labissiere are bust tier and Ulis is a manlet.

>>68864074
>not the NBL
>drafting euro austin river
>>68864041
the reason kobe slowed down as drastically as he did is because he stayed injured and then had a couple of freak injjuries. Lebron has god himself within his body
>>68864018
Agreed. Would make a lot more sense in those areas, not like houston has a giant asian population. It was ok when Yao was there but now that he's been gone for like 5 years, it's time for an update
>>68864027
lots of picks to try and fail to trade because ainge is delusional
>>68864064
We just need 4 more years of Lebron
Tfw 1 decade of playing in the NBA Finals
>>68864095
>yfw the curse destroys everyones knees
>>68864064
Yes at the end of this year. Lakers in 2011 got swept by the Mavericks when Kobe was 32. I just do not believe the Cavs will have motivation to repeat. They will be complacent.

>>68864310
Why did it take this long for Lebron to adopt his inner Kobe?
Kevin durant became a dick last year and WestGod was born with that Kobe attitude
>>68863754
>>68863789
He hasn't proven shit yet, the Spurs team is proven, but Danny Ainge so far just seems like a mad scientist with wacky ideas
>>68864310
LeBron ran over Steph every time he had the ball game 5. Curry spent the entire game on his back.
This nigga shirt is amazing
>>68864327
He was fighting for da land.
>>68863667
Rose and Howard are both cancer
>mfw i found out ben simmons and bill simmons are different people
Ben is pretty good, but hes not competitive or selfish or something
>>68864307
They changed how Rap sounds and added something that it never had which was popularity like it never had.
>>68864327
It's about motivation. Kobe was motivated by himself, Lebron was motivated by DA LAND.
He couldnt win last year because it was impossible without another offensive player.

Yeah Lebron is in his 30's and will age and slow down, but he still is a complete player unlike bricks4days shotchucker Kobe. Lebron could run an offense for a lot more years if he wants even if he won't be as much of a scorer or rebounder as he once was
>>68864244

Sad that you label Southern Hip Hop as that. You should listen to Early UGK, Three Six Mafia, Outkast, and etc.

>>68864347
rose won an MVP and without the exploded knee that year actually stood a chance against the heatles
howard literally carried the magic to the finals
>>68864085
Best fucking block ever
Why did the raptors draft a crnter
>>68864398
Yes but his game depends on driving and trust me he will slow down. He will become something like a Grant Hill in his old age.
Plus do not hate on Kobe. Give the guy some respect.
>>68864360
Was this right now? What the fuck do they expect to get at 51? They just drafted this year's Draymond Green
>>68864400
nigga thats 90s he was talking about 2000+
>>68864184
Asian girl pictures are never useless
>>68864375
It means they don't care that much about winning.
>>68864403
Woah there buddy. He had a great season that year, but the only reason he won MVP was because the NBA was tired of giving it to LeBron.
>>68864215
The all guards Celtics vs the all centers Sixers is going to be a game to watch.
>>68864430
There was Trick Daddy, David Banner, Field Mob, Ludacris, Crime Mob, and etc. just from the south.

>>68864420
Fuck Kobum, Lebron is and has been better than Kobe for a long long time. But yeah his game will slow down some, but he'll still be all star tier for many years, and not in the sympathy kobe type of way
So is Jason Kidd going to meme his way into creating Big Ball?
>>68864403
>Rose gets MVP due to "hate lebron bandwagon"
>They meet and Rose gets BTFO by the real MVP
All Rose ever was at his prime was a baby version of Lebron, why would you get a 6'3 Lebron when you could get a 6'8 Lebron?
>>68864484
He's truly ahead of his team
>>68864468
Big Krit was gonna bring the South back
Idk what happened tho
Why has no one drafted Gary Payton II or Wayne Seldon or Ron Baker?
Brooklyn got a local kid to run point.
They're going to finish last in the league.
Celtics will get the number 1 pick next year.
>>68864484
I would love to see a team with a starting 5 of players 6'11 and above. Even if they're slower and won 30-40 games it would be nice to see a big-ball team
HOLY FUCKING SHIT JUST GOT HOME WHAT THE FUCK DID ORLANDO DO
WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT, WAS THERE A GUN A BLOWTORCH AND SOME LSD INVOLVED IN THAT TRADE NEGOTIATION' WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK JUST GIVE THE THUNDER A CHIP RIGHT NOW
>>68864443

>>68864468
NY rap is overrated. They have become biters. They have no Rap nowadays. It is a shame.
>>68864478

>>68864504
He's not commercial enough. Everyone who knows hip hop respects Krit

>6'3 white guy who can't shoot or play PG
???
>>68864493
>All Rose ever was at his prime was a baby version of Lebron
You obviously don't watch basketball if you believe this. Rose had way better handles, more moves in the paint and could stop on a dime better than Lebeta ever has. They were pretty much equal at finishing around rim though, that's it.
Why is /nba/ so threatened by the fact that we're going to go to the nba finals this year?

Show some respect. Comparing LeBron and Kobe is not fair because they are completely different players. Kobe comes from the Jordan mold and LeBron comes from the Magic/Wilkins mold.
Kobe has 5 titles. It is going to take LeBron a lot more to win 2 more titles.
>>68864523

enjoy getting cucked like the sixers did with wiggins and russell.
>>68864505
Gary Payton is an undersized SG who can't shoot. He defends alright and that's it.
He's also turns 24 this year.
>>68864521
He's always going to be stronger than everyone else and quick enough to beat c/pf. The only real problem is his jumpshot vanished once he went back to cleveland.
Grizz took a chink
>>68864543
no he isn't
>>68864538
>Comparing LeBron and Kobe is not fair
I agree, so don't compare Lebron to Kobe saying he's going to slow down like Kobe. It's not fair to Kobe to compare him to such a physical specimen, and it's disrespectful to Lebron to be compared to that glorified shot chucker
>>68864561

You know remember Mychal Thompson called out of work for undisclosed reasons after LeBron won one for da land

is Cousins cousins with Cousins?
>isiah cousins
LMFAO
>>68864530
I'm confused why Rose and Melo are playing on the same team. I thought adidas and Nike don't mix. Maybe it's because nobody cares about Melo's shoes
>>68864585
But it's only Logic to understand LeBrons body has to slow down. He has played for so damn long he has to slow down. Do not be blind man. You are just dick riding LeBron and are blind to how great Kobe is.
Have respect for Kobe or keep your words to yourself.
Both are amazing players and both are completely different players.
>>68863614

I guess we are stuck with D'Angelo forever. I was really hoping to move Clarkson to PG and blow manlets the fuck out.
>>68864683
Traded for Oladipo, Ilyasova and someone else and something else. Great trade for OKC.
Ibaka will probably dealt somewhere again soon
>>68864656

you're gonna have some massive blue balls then
>>68864796
hes literally
LITERALLY
on another dimension in another universe of ability compared to dion waiters
>>68864762
Yeah. I guess management trust Kanter to start again.
Projected depth lineup because KD could leave
Westbrook/Foye/Payne
Oladipo/Waiters
Durant/Roberson
Kanter/Ilyasova
Adams/Sabonis
I guess this team can scrape a 2nd seed
>>68864820
https://twitter.com/WojVerticalNBA
>>68864797
They should. I am excited to see how LeBron and his team will respond next year. Will they be complacent?
>>68864843
Or maybe Sabonis gets the start and Kanter stays 6th man
>>68864825
>folding your own hands never again

>starting a rookie
>expecting KD to stay
pick only one m8
>>68864817
>>68864840
He is a better defender then Waiters. I just hope Oladipo can hit threes. If he can avg 18-22 points per game I feel bad for other teams. I am big fan of his.
>>68864879
they fell for the Poo Peeland meme
>>68864843
I think waiters is gone. Thunder do not want him back.
Why do some athletes have almost no sense of humor? You see interviews with some basketball players and it's like they can't take a joke sometimes. They even get angry and think they're getting put on or whatever. They're so sensitive or insecure or something.
>>68864908
you'd be annoyed by all the stupid questions they get asked too
>>68864908

>>68864916

>>68864916
Good to know Americans are seen as big dumb guys that are way too masculine and insecure to take a joke.
>>68864981
I asked why for a reason why they WON'T win it all
>>68864940
Or last 3 years.
>>68864851
They'll want to repeat, hopefully make a good move this summer too
>>68864843
I think Oladipo is better suited to 6th man and keep Roberson starting, especially if "D?"nes Kanter starts. He could have the Harden role where he comes off the bench but plays 30 minutes and closes out games.
unless Durant leaves then he's the new starting SG by default.
>>68865093
Well of course but I want to see if Lue will be able to motivate players, if Irving will want to repeat just as bad, and if LeBron will slow down.

>>68866105
People would be so mad. I would like for Durant to go play 1 year with Lebron though, I don't care what happens after that. Let him have 1 year of fun basketball and get his ring then he can do what he wants. At least he won't be retired on sports shows and swallowing his pride when talks of championships come up like Charles Barkley has too
>you are KD's agent

>>68866186
Madison square garden is a bad ass place, and New York is New York. But that also comes with huge pressure playing in New York. I'd like to see KD stay a small town guy, playing for OKC and Cleveland, no clubs, no hollywood bullshit, just some fucking rocky shit. Pure basketball, in the gym in the slums becoming a beast
>>68866508
knicsk so you can end the drought and not be a ring chaser
>>68865670
>NY would be perfect.
For missing the playoffs. You think a career shot jacker and a damaged point guard on borrowed time will be effective leaders?
>>68866822
Noah will be the leader. KD is already a leader.
Westbrook could replace Rose next summer if he gets hurt. Phil Jackson is a smart guy
>>68866842
Westbrook's half the reason Durant is even considering leaving Chokelahoma Pity.
I don't really understand this draft thing, can somebody just tell me if my Croatians are in good clubs or did they get cucked

>>68869685
not gonna lie im butthurt that Ainge apparently had offers on the table and did jack shit again
im holding out hope that he saw some star quality in jaylen brown that he just couldnt pass up and that brown will be way better than anybody expected but idk, it's not like ainge has a stellar draft record
feels like he just doesnt want to trade unless it's overwhelmingly in his favor
>>68869828
Jaylen Brown has the 'star potential' tag on him but he is an awful offensive player.
