This goes out to all the FAGGOTS who hated the Raptors
I really want the Lakers to not match the offer of Jordan Clarkson if the Nets give him the max.
I don't care about the Nets future, but I want them to get enough competent players as possible so they can be competitive enough to screw over the Celtics again in the draft.
CP3
JJ
KD
LITERALLY ANYONE
DJ
>>68885035
>forgetting meme god Blake
>>68885034
Max he can get is 4 years 56 mil so about 14 mil a year. He was a 2nd rounder so it was essentially an unexpected asset that fell into the Lakers hands. Lakers should keep him and get rid of nick young.
Lakers have $60 mil in cap space right now.
D.Rose already recruiting Jokim Noah. He said it in his press conference today. Knickstape we are Back!
>>68885024
Too bad they suck
>>68885067
Clarkson is a poor man's Demar Derozan. Lakers don't need him. I'd rather see them use that money on a 3 and D guy like Bazemore.
Clarkson also reeks of "good stats, bad team" talent.
>>68885035
DJ is a fraud tho
>>68885085
Thanks , we will take him!
>>68885068
Both Rose and Noah are busted up after Thibs grinded them into the ground for many years, so don't have high hopes for anything big.
>>68885085
He can be the 6th man in the future. I don't think he'll get max, it will be slightly less. I just think losing a 2nd rounder that good is a waste of an asset. Would rather him than lou or young.
>>68885035
Westbook > CP3
Adams > Jordan
Oladipo > Redick
The only advantage the Clippers have over the Thunder is Blake Griffin over their PF.
So why would Durant go to a shit organization with an aging superstar in CP3, a brick free throw layer in DeAndre, and a ballhog stat filler Blake Griffin?
Blake Griffin is essentially a PF version of Westbrook without the balls in the playoffs.
>>68884999
Checked!
>>68885067
Funny thing is the Wizards sold that pick to the Lakers.
>Westbook > CP3
>Adams > Jordan
>Oladipo > Redick
>every time somebody gets "dunked on" in a regular season game nobody cares about it's turned into a poster
>a great defensive play gets similarly recognized only because it was in the closing seconds of the NBA Finals by the best player of this generation
fuck everybody
>>68885105
>>68885105
Noah was DPOY only 2 years ago. Hes showing up when healthy.
And the closest thing to a Franchise Tag in the NBA is an expiring contract. D.Rose can still be an all star. He will be motivated because his money is on the line.
This sets the knicks up great for a playoff birth and next summer free agency
>>68885113
>Blake Griffin is essentially a PF version of Westbrook
Minus the assists, shooting/ft percentage, ability to spread the floor, or ridiculous scoring runs
>>68885109
There is no way they are getting rid of Young. Guy is the worst NBA player in the league currently. They will most likely buy out his contract and get him away from D'Angelo.
Lou also hates D'Angelo and should be traded for a late second round pick or some Euro stash trash. Anything to get him off the books and give the Lakers the ability to sign better, younger players like Bazemore
>>68885150
>I care more about a dunk then one of the greatest defensive plays of all-time
durant is a ballhog he can't play for GSW or SAS
>>68885171
Needs a pass 1st PG who doesn't do stupid shit
>>68885166
you have it backwards m7, I'm talking shit about the people who jizz over guys dunking over other guys but usually treat spectacular defense like it's nothing.
>>68885183
Like John Wall right?
>>68885189
Oh my bad
>>68885190
Would be cool to see.. I don't think he's leaving this year though desu
When is Canada getting another NBA team?
>>68885210
giving Vancouver another team again would troll Seattle pretty hard
it needs to happen
I hope the Lakers sign Bismack mostly because he would fit perfect alongside raptor arm Randle.
Lakers desperately need a center who can play defense. I'm just worried that Bismack might get a max level deal. He's not that good.
could 2011 Rose beat steph curry
>tfw that new BTC mag drops
>>68885210
Actually i have a quetion, when is London getting an NBA team? Its the perfect for the Americans to put one there because of Brexit
>the state of this video

durant wont leave this year. next year is when he goes, dont see him signing one year contract
>>68885254
Duh no shit. MVP Rose would deep fry Curry hes too fast
>>68885259
Players already bitch about the season being too long with too many back to backs. They're not gonna want to have to travel all the way to England.

>Oladipo > Redick
what is 3 point shooting
what is floor spacing
He's coming home
>>68885160
>shooting/ft percentage, ability to spread the floor
he's like 30 percent from 3
>>68885345
why would he join a rebuild?
If he really wanted to join the Lakers he would sign with the Thunder on a 1+1 deal, then see how the Lakers future looks next offseason, because right now it looks bleak.

Man I try to watch the WNBA to get my hoops fix but it just doesn't work senpai, what went so horribly wrong?
Durant is staying in OKC. We all know this.
>>68885374
Women can't jump
>>68885148
Westbrook is younger and stronger than CP3. He can play 48 minutes and still go hard. He is the best guard in the league.
Adams is about as good as Deandre defensively without being trash at the free throw line. I honestly have Adams in my top 5 center list along with Boogie and Drummond, KAT and Porzingod.
>>68885375
>We all know
thanks Hubie
>>68885366
>right now it looks bleak
>they have a coach who embraces the future of the NBA
>a coach with a 39-4 record
>they just drafted the perfect player for the modern nba
>they have tons and tons of cap space. The most in the league
>they have four good young assets in Randle, D'Lo, Clarkson and Nance
All the Lakers need to do is sign Bismack and Batum and that should be enough to get Durant thinking about them next season.
>>68885403
>a coach with a 39-4 record
>>68885403
But he's still in the West and know matter how good the team is they're not a gonna win it all in their first year together.
http://www.si.com/nhl/2016/06/22/nhl-expansion-las-vegas-vote-NBA-NFL
NBA team in las vegas might be coming sooner than we think. The stadium They built on the strip looks sick.
NHL is already putting a team in it
>>68885403
most of those positives are still huge variables
joining the Spurs or Warriors now makes sense, because OKC/SAS/GSW are the best three places for Durant to win right now.
but joining the Lakers right now makes almost no sense.
>>68885259
travel time for the London team would be horrible, especially to the west coast
>>68885348
Wasn't really talking about 3s. More so about his midrange game, where Blake griffin is absolutely embarrassing
Iggy seriously needs to leave the warriors and go to the spurs or literally any other team so I can like him again. He's literally the poor mans Lebron James and I really liked him before he joined those faggots out in GSW.
>>68885374
i watched an entire game the other day and both teams literally only had 30pts in the fourth qtr
>>68885368
they think they have a core
good morning /nba/ any more trades happen yet?

kd went to the Lakers
>>68885512
So you not gonna act like the Cavaliers haven't had the 1st pick literally forever this decade?
>>68885445
Joining any other team right now for Durant makes no sense, which is why he is going to wait until next year to see what Westbrook and Thunder pull off next season.
>>68885275
>>68885345
>>68885366
>durant wont leave this year. next year is when he goes, dont see him signing one year contract
want to know why durant is leaving? cause Ibaka got BTFO...who do they have now? only WB and thats it. They got dipo but he isn't up there with iblocka.
WOH, the thunder literally handed durant to us on a silver fucking platter....JULIUS RANDLE on a FASTBREAK with DURANT...im literally orgasming while i type this.
Can't wait for the lakers to start winning titles again.
>>68885455
This is why we need super sonic jets thats faster than the speed of sound!
yo espn on tv right now is saying KD has meetings set up with the memes, okc and spuds...wow..he's going to end up on a cancerous team...gg
>>68885530
The only way that happens is if they get Paul George
>>68885530
misa???
>>68885523
>So you not gonna act like the Cavaliers haven't had the 1st pick literally forever this decade?
they have, and were shitty at the time, and draft like shit for the most part. Champions today though.

>>68885546
world-wide expansion is inevitable, just need to be patient
fám Russell Westbrook is my favorite player and OKC has been my team for like 6 months.
Im from LA but literally never witnessed Kobe play I enjoy ur memes and ur passion something baseball clearly has no interest in as there are too many white players.
Lakers are gonna be good soon but I want to support OKC so long as Westbrook plays.
What do I do?
Westbrook coming home with Durant in 2018 right?
I dot want to be a bandwagon piece of shit
I actually want to see Durant go to the Warriors because I want to see a team actually have a shot at 98-0.
Durant, Draymond, Klay and Steph.
Fucking the Big four. All Four of them are in the top ten.
>>68885578
looks like a retarded Sasha Vujačić. and not in a good way

>>68885554
I think they're doing a very nice job of building a young core right now. But I do agree that they need a superstar. It's been 6 years now since their last tittle. Hopefully they can make a run for it I'm a couple of years.
yooo!!! matthew dellavedova like a tweet i tweeted him! nice, this is the 2nd nba player to do this...im moving up in the world.
>your team didn't draft jarrod

>>68885113
Because CP3 is a better floor general and makes the Clippers look better than they actually are
Adams over DJ is comical but I'll bite
DJ is a better rebounder and defender, Adams has the advantage in scoring but the Clippers have tons of scorers anyway
>So why would Durant go to a shit organization with an aging superstar in CP3, a brick free throw layer in DeAndre, and a ballhog stat filler Blake Griffin?
It's funny because what you said about Blake, CP3, and DJ individually can ALL be applied to Westbrick himself
The Clippers would easily be a much better choice, Durant would mesh with the system and would actually have a PG and PF who can create for others and create their own shots
Reddick is a seasoned vet and has more experience over Oladipo as well
Clippers bench is better too

why are the clippers still in LA? They will never ever have real fans
>>68885748
Jimmy Butler is NOT elite
Hilarious right?
>>68885762
I agree desu. They should move to another city. What are some other cities where they would have proper fans? Seattle?
>>68885744
You do realize the Thunder nearly/should have beaten a 73-9 team in 6 and you also realize the Clippers have never ever made to the WCF, right?
>>68885773
literally anywhere else that doesn't already have a team
>>68885744
why would u type all this?
>>68885790
i was wondering the same thing
>>68885788
Does every part of the USA care about basketball?
>>68885800
do u think he is 'white'?
>>68885773
Seattle makes the most sense, but I doubt they'd go there. If they leave LA (which they don't need to, they have tons of fans in the state and attract more agents in FA), they'll move somewhere else in California
>>68885744
CP3 is a floor general with no knees and he's over 30.
Hardly the bankable superstar that can help a cuck like Durant.
>>68885690
>AD and Drayboon better than Blake
Is that a meme I see?
>>68885775
It's sad how the clippers have never made it to the WCF. 5 years straight they've been in the playoffs. And everytime, someone gets an injury. Cursed I tell ya
>>68885750
Then that makes you a westbrook fan
>>68885810
>they have tons of fans in the state and attract more agents in FA
LOL
also not to seattle, a place where a teams never been before. like some random city in a random state. like hawaii or louisiana

LeGod has the eastern conference on lockdown tbqh.
99% chance of Cavs going to the finals next year.
Stern was short sighted, he believed that the only way to make money was to always have the big markets successful or winning titles. Well what stern or silver don't understand is that, if you have a wide open league, there is more chance to make money. Instead of just having a handful of a big market teams you have more teams in it. More chances to market more players and make potentially more money.
so when's the waifu draft? we're behind schedule. Are we syncing it with the NBA free agency?

LAL Get:

CHI Get:
> Jordan Clarkson
> Larry Nance Jr.
Thoughts? Clarkson is one of the best young players in the league with a great 3 point shot and has a ton of upside. he could easily fill Butlers vacancy in Chicago. Nance is a very intriguing prospect as well, he could definitely be a big part of the Bulls rebuild.
Lakers on the other hand really need a veteran mentor for Russell and Ingram, Butler would be a perfect fit in Los Angeles.
Really feel like this is a win for both teams
Who is the Anthony Bennett of this year's drafy class pham?
D'Antoni then and now:
Nash = Harden
Bell = Beverley
Marion = Batum
Diaw = Motiejunas
Stoudamire = Noel
Are you ready for 120 points a game with a semi finals exit to tap it off?
>>68886366
>Really feel like this is a win for both teams
>>68886379
pick one: bender, simmons, or murray
At some angles, I really start to believe Westbrook looks like Giannis.
Maybe it's just the haircut.
>Trading away Blake just to get KD
For literally what purpose? That would make us worse honestly, Durant is a pussy and doesn't play bully ball like Blake, also unlike Blake when he isn't scoring he doesn't do anything else
Who are we gonna start at PF? I don't even know who our backup PF is
We would still be 2nd round exits who just overpay DJ and KD
Smh
We shouldn't make that dumbass trade
>>68886271
Irving/Love/JR/TT probably makes it thru a few series even without Lebron. The East is BAD. Who is gonna challenge the Cavs?
>Raptors
Losing Biyombo, possibly DeRozan, weren't that good to begin with. Lowry is getting older.
>Pacers
One man team. Lost Hill for Teague, who played like ass against Cavs the past two years
>Heat
Legit could challenge Cavs if Bosh was healthy, but he isn't. Dragic, Deng and Wade are old and will decline. Whiteside might leave
>Celtics
A team made completely of B- and C+ tier players. Regular season tryhards that dont have an extra gear for the playoffs.
>Pistons
Too young, Reggie Jackson blows, no one on this team can score well enough.
>Bucks
Most players need to keep improving, but could possibly be scary if they do
>Bulls
LeGod literally killed their franchise in the 2015 playoffs. They are starting over from scratch
>Hawks
Were never that good, looks like the end of their era is here anyway with free agents.

Lots of free agents, will struggle to even repeat the mediocrity of last season
>Wizards
wasting John Wall's career, zero good players besides him. Beal is made of glass.

that's my point retard, every team in the East is shitty. Irving is like the 4th best player in the East, Love is fringe top ten. No other team has a combo like that. The only thing holding them back was being mentally soft but I feel like they fixed that in the Finals.

Cavs.
Example 1.
>>68886440

Love and JR would split most of the points. JR could easily be DeRozan if given the green light to chuck that much, and Love can score 25/game if he's a main option. Irving was injured last year, he has the potential to be as good as Curry, he just showed you that in the Finals. Lebron being out would make them worse, yes, but they won their first 10 games to start the playoffs, they have a lot of room to get worse before they would lose series. The only team I'd say would beat them for sure is the Heat, and it'd be a toss-up with the Raptors and Pacers
>>68886736

The Pistons dont have any major scorer because they spread the ball around a lot. They were the only team in the league last season where each starter averaged double digits.
Not saying they will contend against the Cavs but I think they will be dangerous a few years from now.
>>68886811

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQEAEK9gtRM
>>68886841
I still think he could've done that.
Maybe he's saving something for next year
>>68886820
JR has better percentages, hence how I said "if given the green light" he would probably have those slip a little but score a little more, aka be the same as Derozan

JR does stupid shit that will hurt the flow of his team. DeRozean isn't as egregious about that. And honestly on a team with Lebron, Love and Kyrie JR Shouldn't even be getting that many touches due to his maddening inconsistency. He's a faggot
>>68886871
i understand there's a draft lottery that rewards bad teams with earlier picks and that there's a western and eastern conference, the latter of which has been dominated by a single player for the last half decade

Really can't see it happening, 90% sure that he's staying.
He has every reason in the world to do it
Warriors are literally a bunch of shitty role players being glorified in a tight system. If they break up this team for Durant I guarantee it will come collapsing down. It will give Lebron the ability to repeat.

Is Iguodala going to age gracefully or is he set to fall off a cliff this year? Since a handful of rotation players are gone and Iggy turns 33 this season coming off of back to back Finals trips, I can't see Golden State being close to as dominant as they were at their peak unless they get Durant. If KD stays in OKC and Golden State doesn't end up with a nifty consolation prize like Nick Batum I think OKC is a clear favorite to come out of the West.

Boston's sales pitch to Durant could include:
• Up-and-coming team: With 39-year-old Brad Stevens and his new long-term deal at the controls, these Celtics won 48 games and competed for a top spot in the East last season. Isaiah Thomas elevated to All-Star status, and Boston thrived behind an affordable and intriguing young core that includes the likes of Avery Bradley, Jae Crowder, and Marcus Smart. Players like Thomas remain adamant that Boston is just one player away from being a legitimate contender.
• Cap space: The Celtics have a nine-man core signed to less than $34 million in guaranteed salary for next season. Thanks to draft-and-stash possibilities, Boston is unlikely to dent too much salary despite making six picks in Thursday's draft, and that leaves Boston with enough cap space to pursue two max-contract free agents this summer. The biggest part of Boston's pitch would be: Pick a friend to join you here. If Durant wants to play with fellow free agent Al Horford, the Celtics can sign both (and still have enough cash left to fill out their roster with the sort of capable role players that every title contender needs). If Durant prefers a star already on another roster, the Celtics have the assets to try to pry that player free.

• Sustainability: Some of the surefire title contenders might be able to create enough room to add Durant this summer, but their ability to continue adding talent -- or simply keep their stars -- further down the road would be compromised by their salary bloat. The Celtics have positioned themselves for long-term flexibility. And that's further aided by Boston's ridiculous draft-pick treasure chest. The Celtics can pitch Durant that, not only would Boston be an immediate title contender with him, but that they might also have the No. 1 pick in each of the next two drafts (if the Brooklyn Nets are slow to rebuild). There will be a steady influx of talent -- or at least tradable assets -- to ensure Boston remains competitive throughout the length of Durant's next contract.
• The tradition: Durant already gushed about the Celtics' tradition when the Thunder played here in March. Bringing banner No. 18 to Boston would cement his legacy as a player and make him a legend in these parts. If the Celtics were smart, they'd get other area sports stars like Tom Brady and David Ortiz to relay what it's like to have this city in the palm of your hand. If nothing else, he's got all those free crab legs promised by Legal Sea Foods.

kanye is definitely getting sued by tswift. which i'm pretty sure is what he wanted but he's gonna lose much more money that he realizes

Where when you when Shaq became a politician?

That was funny.
>>68900073
Lol.. Career suicide going to Boston.
>>68885739
with Sam Presti we will be a 50+ win team 2 years after they leave
>>68900073
Trailblazers have all that and more but aren't delusional enough to think that a guy that wants to win now is going to sign with a young up-and-coming core that still needs to grow.
Do yourself a favor and give up the KD dream. The best you can hope for is a few 2nd tier FA's this year and hope your core can get good enough to attract a 1st tier FA next off season.
Reminder that thibs is going to destroy the bodies of kat and wiggins just like he did with Rose Jimmie and Noah
>>68900342
I'm actually slightly worried about this
How do I fucking do 3 point contest from the menu in 2k16 does anyone know? I know I've seen youtube videos of people doing it with randoms
>>68900332
Blazers aren't even getting a visit from Durant. Boston is.
>>68899794
I don't get the DeRozan meme. He just seemed like a chucker in the Cleveland series. Just give it to Derozan and he'll dribble at the top till there's 5 seconds left then try to force something.
>>68900332
this is true. the current celtics team would maybe be a 7 or 8 seed in the west, Blazers are clearly better
Why do you guys hate /r/nba? It's pretty similar to here.

>If Durant prefers a star already on another roster, the Celtics have the assets to try to pry that player free.
Yeah, that strategy worked SOOOOOOOOO well last Thursday night.
>>68900457
this is part of the celtic delusion. Ask KD for a meeting and you can probably get it. He hasn't turned down an invite yet.
>>68900532
shitty jokes, even more casualised than here as at least sometimes you get israel or germany busting out deep shit here, prefer the ui here too and the quick topic-less style of discussion
>>68900568
It did. Ainge TURNED DOWN the offer. He preferred to keep Crowder. If he felt that he absolutely needed Butler, then the deal would've gotten done.
>>68900460
His value is that he's really damn good at creating his own shot
That's a useful skill to have on teams that have a bunch of good role players but no true stars
>>68900555
Can't u just help me senpai
>>68900601
Yeah right! I bet the blazers just don't even want Durant, am I right? You're the deluded one, Anon.
>>68900641
I did help you
>>68900641
Wait nah I'm actually fucking dumb, I thought you meant how do you contest a 3 point shot, not how do you participate in the 3 point contest
If >we don't get durant are we fucked for at least 5-10 years of mediocrity?
>>68900650
Of course the blazers want him, every team does. Look at the numbers KD gets if he stays in OKC though. If you think the celtics can lure him away to a much shittier team for a ton less money then the Celtic delusion is real.
>>68886931
did the man who fucked your mommy have a sweet stache, anon?
>>68900828
>much shittier team
OKC ain't shit without Durant. Durant and Horford on this Celtics team challenges Cleveland for a finals appearance. That's not even taking into consideration the potential deals they could make with the Nets picks.
>>68888233
booker is gonna be GOAT
>>68897463
>assets
That's not tangible. It's dependent on theoretical future maneuvering. Spurs have Aldridge and Kawaiiiiii and a 15 year track record of finding talent and playing good, unselfish basketball.
If Ainge got Butler without gutting the team, it's a different story.
>>68900793
Nah we've got a bright future regardless. Brown is going to be a stud, we're gonna have the #1 pick in the stacked 2017 draft, and probably another top 3 pick in 2018. Don't sleep on Smart, either, he could blow up.
Celtics about to overtake Lakers for most delusional fanbase
>>68900146
No one will sue.
>>68901013
All i want is banner 18
Why am I loyal to DC sports?
>>68901072
Unlike LA, our team is actually decent, and we're loaded with assets to make deals. LA delusion is on another level.
>>68901116
We should just give up and switch teams
>>68901072
Knicks are the most delusional. They got no knees Rose and suddenly think they are a playoff team. On top of that they won't shut up about how they are going to get Durant. I have a co-worker who is a Knicks fan and the day they got Rose he comes by my desk and tells me their starting five next year is going to be Rose/Durant/Noah/Melo/Porzingis
>>68900612
this desu
>>68901172
But what happens if they win after I give up?
>>68901210
>I have a co-worker who is a Knicks fan and the day they got Rose he comes by my desk and tells me their starting five next year is going to be Rose/Durant/Noah/Melo/Porzingis
your co-worker knows this general too? crazy
>>68900342
and also based deng
>>68901116
Because you are a good wayfoo. Stay loyal don't be a dirty dirty slut.
>>68901172
Switch teams you say?
>>68901251
>ted leonsis
>caring about the wizards
Your best bet is if the skins go on an improbably run in the next 3 years, or the Nats since they're gonna be stacked for years.
>>68901298
Hell yeah the t wolves are my bandwagon team next season. It was the bucks but they just drafted a 23 year old 7 footer with the 10th pick
>>68901378
Enjoy the ride new friend.
>>68900905
so he could make it to the conference finals in the east for 12-13 million dollars less a year?
Why would he do that?
Make the West finals at 41 per
Make the East finals at 27 per
this isn't a hard decision anon
>>68901325
I don't really have an issue with Leonsis other than him refusing to fire Grunfeld.
wew kobe
>>68901442
occured to me today while i was mopping the floor that KAT sounds like jared dudley
>>68901298
I hope the Twolves don't screw up their YOUTH.
The Bucks fell on their face last year and I'm not sure what the Magic will do at all.
>>68901480
The goal isn't the conference finals. It's obviously a championship. He would get that if he came here, but he ain't getting it with OKC.
>>68901584
>>68901442
>>68901298
>Thibs is their coach and GM
>having hope in a coach who deliberately and maliciously runs his players into the ground
Enjoy watching Wiggins get injured after Thibs plays him 40+ mins every game
>>68901491
Leonsis cares way more about the caps than the wiz and for years never shelled out enough shekels to make the team relevant.
Yeah Grunfeld is worse but leonsis is still the owner and has to make the right move. And never does
>>68901674
Is it any worse than Abe Pollin who cared tremendously but sucked at running a basketball team?
>>68901670
Because Da Bulls were injury free in their first season under Hoiberg.
The bottom line is that, given the team/cap space/assets Boston already has, Durant would 100% win a championship here within the first year or two.
>>68901839
Damage was already done.
>>68900793
FUCK OFF ALREADY YOU LAKER FAGGOT
>>68901839
They were already ruined by thibs
>>68901794
It's just as bad
DC sports were a mistake.
>>68901794
Did Abe really care when he trading away webber and Wallace
>>68901973
I think he loved basketball. He just had no clue how to build a winning team.
