Dicks
knicks gonna get into playoffs this year and championship next year
JUST FUCK MY WHOLE CAREER UP SENPAI
Why do people buy into the Biyombo meme? He had 2 (TWO) GOOD GAMES in the playoffs and is a literal who otherwise.
He steps up when he gets minutes, thats all front offices had to see
When he has 30+ minutes a game:
5 points 14 rebounds
7 points 26 rebounds
12 points 4 rebounds
17 points 16 rebounds
4 points 13 rebounds
10 points 6 rebounds
13 points 13 rebounds
12 points 12 rebounds
16 points 25 rebounds
9 points 20 rebounds
5 points 15 rebounds
8 points 18 rebounds
9 points 13 rebounds
4 points 9 rebounds
2 points 8 rebounds
0 points 16 rebounds
6 points 14 rebounds
= 8PPG 14 RPG and a very good defender
Congo towers in orlando with Vogel at the helm. How do you score on us?
>>69163774
He was good all year, just buried in the lineup until Vucivic died.
First for Horford, Durant, and Cousins to the Celtics.
>>69163774
He's the 2nd coming of Ben Wallace or something
Magic should have kept Oladipo
All they would have needed is an ultra dark point guard and small forward to complete the dark as the night sky starting lineup
BIYOMBO JUST GOT 80MIL FROM THE MAGIC

>implying Biyombo is good enough to replace Gordon.
>implying that the more skilled everything isn't going to be much more useful in the modern pace and space NBA
Biyombo will be a bust signing trying to pair him with Ibaka.

>>69164111
Trader Danny's got the assets to get it done. I guarantee it's part of his pitch to Durant.
>>69164141
Obviously Ibaka would be the 5, gordon would be the 4 dumbfuck
is 20m/year for 4 years good value for biyombo?
>>69163774
?
Remember when he shit on Miami in game 7? Or how he was the defensive anchor for the raptors throughout the entire season? Oh wait,you only watched the ECF...
Who else /comfyasfuck/ because their team didn't max a role-player?
At what point do the Mavs say fuck it and throw 30 mil at Dirk as a thankyou and tank
OH SHIT, TIM BRODY AT THE DURANT MEETING
>Biyombo and Ibaka at the same time
>>69164210
Biyombo is the 5 Ibaka is the 4 that can swing to the 5 when they go small, which I don't think is a good idea for their current roster.
>>69164239
lebrons fg% was over 60% that series and he got to the rim at will.
Why do people fall for the hurr durrr hes a defensive anchor meme. His rim protetion stats arent even in the top 10
>>69164259
Wolves fan here, very comfy.
>Jon Leuer is a $10M per year NBA player
this economy can't be sustainable, no way these contracts are good deals in any market

Dwight /Shaq
Who can stop them?
>>69164219
Does it matter? Only LeGod is winning the East for the next 4 years.
>>69164407
60% at the rim is average
Trade Jae Crowder, Brooklyns pick in a loaded draft and Smart for Cousins. Sign Durant and Horford.
Cousins
Horford
Durant
Bradley
Isaiah
Holy shit, this team would be phenomenal and destroy all of the east, including the Cavs.
>>69164259
>tfw we maxed a literal retard
>>69164407
You need to use stats of when Biyombo was guarding LeBron, because Carroll guarded LeBron for the majority of that series. Using general stats as an example is retarded.
>>69164527
Are you on drugs
>>69164303
>Smart and Olynyk in the back
Lmao
>>69164538
No lebron was 60% from the field and 80+ at the rim
>Marc Stein @ESPNSteinLine 6m6 minutes ago

>>69164407
Lebrons approach completely changed with bb in the paint
>>69164522
They aren't. After the lockout, things will be restructured so that the big 3 of a team will get 80% of the salary again.
>>69164634

>>69164956
Is he just gonna tell him that he can fuck Jizzelle whenever he wants?
>>69164895
It's funny because Durant was very clear about wanting this to be about basketball only and now they're making this a circus show involving football players.

>tfw shitting up the sports section of a chinese image board by tracking niggers get money
>>69164956
What does a honky like Brady even do? Why would durant care about him?
>>69165058
Being a star in Boston is always about more than just basketball, you rube.
Okay, Brady is nice, but is Russell there? Is McHale there? I know Bird couldn't be assed to be there.
>>69164735
Are you retarded?
Lebron was 62% from the field and 80%+ at the rim vs the craptors. pretty much his best splits of the playoffs
http://stats.nba.com/player/#!/2544/stats/shooting/?Season=2015-16&SeasonType=Playoffs&PORound=3
>>69165084
They still have Brookyln's picks.
That's their ace in the hole. And it's a huge asset because the Nets will be fielding a team of Lopez and backups.
>>69165058
Clippers made it a circus show as well if I'm correct. They made it all about star power and said fuck having a bench, depth, or any other basic basketball principles.
>>69165166
Russell is in a wheelchair nigga. He's old as fuck. Leave the man alone.
>>69165151
Brady is a living sports legend.
>>69165151
Because Brady has won championships for Boston. He can tell Durant firsthand how much the city appreciates its champions. That's one of the draws of Boston for a sports star, IMO; the weather is shit and the townies are awful but when you win them a trophy, you're a god to them for the rest of your life.

Well theyre obviously going to give him a sound plan for team structure, extra cap space, draft picks out the wazoo, trade options galore and the like

>>69165183
raptors had the right idea of playing lebron the straight up with minimal help instead of double-teaming him like the pisstons and cawks did which would always leave a man open. It's no wonder they got swept and the raptors took 2 and might've taken more if carroll wasn't injured and could keep up with lebron.

NBA offseason winners and losers so far
Winners
1. Spurs for locking up Kawhi and Aldridge before this retarded free agency period
2. Cavs: They lost nothing of value
3. Wolves: They have all the assets any team would die for
4. Warriors: They still have Curry under the most team friendly contract ever. They may lose a ton of depth though
5. Celtics: They have brooklyn's pick and are a playoff team that doesn't need to sign anybody in this stupid retarded free agency period.
Losers:
1. Nets: They are eternal losers with no hope for a future. They should be contracted.
2. Bulls: Wow, just trade Butler and end his suffering.
3. Lakers: Signed two old bodies to massive deals to fill out their 17 win roster. Also have a snitch and a toothpick as their future.
4. Knicks: At least you have Kristaps and a bunch of cool former elite players, but your team is trash and you are surrounding Kristaps with ballhogs.
5. Hornets: What are you doing? Well, at least you still have the Brow for the time being.
Why Brady? He has nothing to do with basketball

Keep backtracking hombre
Trade Both Brookyln picks, Smart and Crowder for Cousins. Throw everything at the Kings. Cousins contract is a real steal. Sign Durant and Horford
Cousins
Horford
Durant
Bradley
Isaiah
Easily the best team in the league.
Looks like Bill Simmons is at the Durant meeting too. wtf is happening
>>69168730
No depth though
>>69167856
>every fan of every team is the same
Not at all. I for one fucking hate Jackson's moves and think this shit pile of a team will barely break the same record they had last year because everyone is old and busted. I fully expect Porzingis development to stunt because of this.
>Bill Simmons @BillSimmons 34s35 seconds ago
Celts desperately need Horford. Makes them a top-3 defensive team and helps them recruit more stars down road. Such a big day for franchise.
what is he smoking
>>69168759
kevin durant is the cheerleader in high school with big tits and a pretty face and all the guys are trying to convince her to go to the prom with them so they can fuck her
>>69168822
Crowder, Smart, Rozier, Olynyk is depth. Crowder started for a 48 win team last year, and smart is an incredible defensive guard
>>69168902
The bill simmons special
>>69168730
Slow down. Let's see them make one acquisition first before we enter candyland-mode.
>>69168902
>Horford. Makes them a top-3 defensive team
>>69168902
What are you questioning? I'm pretty sure Boston was a top-5 defensive team with Sullinger and Johnson as the starting frontcourt. You don't think Horford instead of sullinger vaults them into the top-3?

I just don't see how they could willingly throw that money at Noah and dump Lopez for Rose. I didn't watch a ton of Knicks basketball but the few times they played the Cs Lopez seemed pretty damn serviceable. I get that swapping him for Rose meant that they'd free up around 20 million next offseason but it just seems like such a shaky move.
TYBD
>>69168958
In that guys trade idea both smart and crowder would be going to Sacramento.
>>69169062
more of the second part. this wont help at all with bringing in other free agents. come on you need a top 10 player to do that
>>69169136
Would the Kings really want Smart over Bradley, though? If I'm them I'm looking at getting a All-Defense caliber 2 guard for 8 mil a year if I'm giving up my franchise center.
is Patrick Ewing going to get a max?
Fuckkkkkk free agency Which other teams are feeling the sting?
>Rockets
>Bulce
Who are the Timberwolves going to get?

They don't need anything, they're a small market team full of rookies anyways, not a FA destination.

how does qualifying offer work?
from what i understand jordan clarkson received a qualifying offer of $3m and then signed a $50m contract. Isn't he a restricted free agent? cant other teams offer him a contract?
Thank you, based Thibs.

Phil is a retard. He's banking on whatifs and next year having more capspace. This entire upcoming season is a throw away year for the Knicks, they've literally already conceded that.
>>69170026
You mean they weren't even after they signed Linsanity?
Are we sleeping on Orlando here?
I mean, it's not HUGE but it's pretty damn significant. If they get some more offensive players next year the Magic could be a second seed in the East.
>>69170224
wow just what the rockets need, someone to not play defense beside harden
>>69170136
Implying that would require you to have a high school diploma

FUCK!!!!!!!

WHAT THE FLYING FUCK IS MASAI DOING????? OFFERING SHIT MONEY?
>>69170311
I'm not convinced until I see how they perform offensively without Oladipo. Barring any injuries, they will definitely be a pesky team to play in the playoffs.
>>69170391
>raptors landing free agents
>>69170224
Let me tell you how much the Cockshits fucking suck.
First off, their GM is a fat fucking autistic hack. And not even the flattering for of autistic like Rain Man. At least served a purpose and could count fucking toothpicks and win his brother money by counting cards. THIS GUY IS MAKING DECISONS AND ROCKETS FANS DEFEND HIS IGNORANCE AND STUPIDITY.
Second off, Houston has built a "core" for their team, aka James Harden and Dwight Howard. This "core" is probably the worst in the league, not even kidding. Yeah, Howard was good, what, five years ago? And Harden literally makes 100% of his points from the stripe. YEAH FAGGOT TILT YOUR HEAD BACK AND GET THE CALL YOU LITTLE BITCH.
Third, their supporting cast is fucking atrocious. It all started when (see second paragraph) decided to let their best player go, and replace said handsome man with fucking TREVOR ARIZA. Yeah, remember him? Neither do I.
Fourth, the head fucking coach. Kevin Mchale just might be medically retarded. He walks like a retard, so maybe his mental capacity shares the same trait.
And lastly, Houston itself. Houston is full of minorities and fucking smells. Nice "major city" you got there, while I'm breathing in fucking 100% carbon dioxide.
Fuck this team, fuck the fans, fuck the "fans" on this board, I hope all of you rot in hell.
OFFICIAL BOTTOM 5 TEAMS IN THE NBA

>>69170056
To become a restricted free agent, a player has to be offered a additional year essentially on the minimum, which is what the qualifying offer is.
>>69170391
raptors are done for. I'm only gonna watch basketball next season to make money off of dfs from casuals.
Anri Okita is a free agent now, who will offer max?
