>Ingram will have to fend off Luol Deng -- a 12-year veteran and fellow Duke Blue Devil whom the Lakers reportedly signed to a four-year, $72 million deal in free agency -- for the team's starting small forward spot and minutes in the rotation. Yet Ingram claims he isn't intimidated by the challenge. He plans to win that battle while learning and growing under Deng's guidance and wisdom.
>"I haven't talked to him yet, but I plan to pick his brain on different things," Ingram said. "He's been in this league for a very long time. I hear nothing but good things about him. In practice, I plan on competing against him each and every day. It's up to the coaches who starts."

Blake leaving would really require the Clippers to meltdown as well.
With how it's been disappointment after disappointment you can really see how strained the team is.
And with KD and Warriors set to dominate for the next 2 years at least, it really hangs on if the Clippers can pull of a miracle and knock off the Warriors.
>>69284169
That would be dope.

That's safe for you to say because you're from New Zealand and don't have a team. I bet you talk differently when it comes to rugby

>>69284335
jabari can't even shoot a 3, and his defence sucks. oh,and also he plays the same position with giannis.
milwaukee should trade him back to mid-range stone age. don't know who'll give up much for him.

Is that you Woj? I used to hate your cock sucking articles about kobe. I'm not listening to your podcast. I doubt there's any hope Westbrook stays in OKC, he's too materialistic and if he stays it's only because they can pay him the most. And Blake Griffin? I don't know.. Blake Griffin could prove me wrong but I don't think he's going to get much better, and I question his dedication to the game
never forget that people LEGITIMATELY THOUGHT that durant could have been a GOAT when his career was starting out
I mean those skills combined with that rubber band length and speed? How could anyone fuck it up? Durant did
>>69284511
If this was the 90's where zone defense was banned and they played man-to-man and he could dominate like Jordan they might have a point.
Westbrook is leaving too.

Kevin Durant did nothing wrong nor did he make a decision that makes him any less of a competitor nor did he make a more bitch move than Lebron James to Miami
Fact
WADE TO THE PACERS
WADE TO THE PACERS

>>69285076
Are you mad that KD might have just made Duncan retire?
>>69285173
Yo shutup
>>69285173
But it WAS just as much of a bitch move
>>69285208
I'd argue more of a bitch move but that might be bias.
>>69285208
until GSW has a "we got durant suck our dick rest of the league" hype party thing like the heat did until then Lebron to the Heat is way more of a bitch move
>>69285173 This is bait

>the cosmetics of LeBron's switch makes it worse
Fucking moronic. Durant is lazy and desperate. Writing all this bullshit about his "legacy" that he's proven already when he's 3-16 against LeBron in his career. Can't even win a ring with a top 3 PG on his team for the better half of a decade. Blows a 3-1 lead in the WCF and goes to the team that beat him, for less money, because he thinks it's an easy ring, all after blowing smoke for months saying "I'm not that type of guy," "I love OKC," all this BS. If you think this is worse than LeBron leaving a trash heap of a basketball team that he carried alone to the finals, you're delusional as fuck.
Can't wait till one of those gay area faggots gets injured and/or they get bounced by spurs, you can't buy championships fucking idiot KD.
>>69285248
Not bait at all. I legit think that KD signing with GS and the way he went about it isnt nearly as much of a bitch move as Lebron to the heat
look the Decision was almost 6 years ago and I understand you young millenial kids dont have a memory span that lasts longer than a day or too. But the way Lebron made such a spectical of his choice and the sheer arrogance of that state after he went there makes it WAY more of a bitch move than KD quietly signing a short contract to the Warriors
If you are legit sucking on Lebrons dick now that he got Cleveland a ring and now brush off what happened in 2010 and are now trying to Crucify KD you can just go ahead and stop watching basketball because this squeaky shoe sport isnt for you
>>69285307
>lebron in no way acted like a spoiled entitled child during that time and all the anus was on the fans and organization
I bet 90% of the people here spitting on what KD did werent even watching basketball back in 2010
fucking unbelievable
>>69285337
>muh decision
LeBron was more dramatic, yes. But the substance of the move was obviously and incomparably more of a bitch move by KD. LeBron went to heat who hadn't left the first round of the playoffs for 4 years. KD went to a team that's been in back to back finals with dick riders claiming "the best team ever." If they were the best team ever they wouldn't need KD and they wouldn't have blown a 3-1 lead.
You're idiotic
Twas the night before Durantsmas, when all through the pub
Not a warrior was stirring, not even a Dub.
The shitposts were posted on the front page with care,
In hopes that KD soon would be there.
The Dubs fans were nestled all snug in there beds,
While visions of splash bros danced in their heads.
With dreams of Durant, the soon to be
Brother of splashes, the new brothers three.
When out on the sub, there arose such a clatter,
I refreshed and refreshed to see what was the matter.
Away to the Twitters I flew like a flash,
To check my news-feed for the potential new splash.
The page was amok with a frenzy of tweets
My brain couldn't focus, what was there to see?
When what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But a tweet with the words to define our next year.
With a verified source and a feeling of glee,
I knew in a moment it must be KD,
His words spoke the truth, this was no dream,
"Durant to the Warriors," so I saw our new team:
Now Thompson! Now Curry!
Now Andre! Now Green!
On, Speights! On, Barbosa!
On, Ezeli and Shaun!
And at the top of the list, 6 foot 9 and 240,
Was Kevin Durant, our small forward in glory.
Daily reminder that pic related is the heat team that LeBron went to and people still say its worse than KD
>>69285193
5 rings bitch nothing to be mad at at all
>>69285429
>implying the annoying part wasn't "The Decision" as well as Bosh and Wade and Bron all planning it out for years in advance
You're ignoring the fact that the team changed dramatically to accept Lebron (and Bosh) onto the roster.
>>69284401
i'd rather have adams if i'm milwaukee tbqh
>>69285387
>KD left to go to an already powerful team that makes this worse
I hate when casuals post
Lebron left a team that already in multiple finals. He turned his back on that team in a conference that is already shit compared to the he West. And then on top of that he drew out his decision on purpose for media hype. I can almost even guarantee that whole shit show after Miami got him was primarily LeBrons choice because him being the showboating faggot he is wanted as much hyoe as possible.
Just because KD already went to a good tram does not make it worse than that.
>>69285467
You're ignoring the fact that they weren't already established and they took a risk, just like the Nets did. Except the Nets failed so no one cares.
Not to mention what an idiotic fact to get hung up on, as if it's any better to do it spur of the moment when a team just bounced you after choking a 3-1 lead in the WCF. It's a bitch move dude, debatably the pussiest move by an "elite" player in NBA history. LeBron to heat doesn't even come close
Reminder all the pussies crying about KD to GSW and saying its more of a bitch move than Lebron to the Heat weren't actually watching basketball before 2012
>>69285484
>LeBron left a team that already in multiple finals
>I hate when casuals post
Are you trolling? They went to 1 finals and got swept you fucking idiot. Do some homework before you talk shit like you know anything.
>muh western conference powerhouse!!
The East is so bad that they've won 6 of the last 13 you mongoloid.
You're grasping straws, and at the end of the day there's a reason LeBron is who he is, with 4 MVPs, 3 fMVP, 3 rings, and king of the game while Durant has to pull publicity stunts to sell jerseys and go to a team that just beat his ass and humiliated him on his enormous choke.
3-16 against LeBron in his career. 1-4 in the finals. Played with a better PG that LeBron has ever played with in his career for 7 years. Still hasn't done shit, so he jumps ship with the media's darling meme chuckers. He can fuck off, good luck ever having a legacy after that pussy shit.
Calling me a casual you don't know shit
>>69285497
The Nets are not comparable to the Heat
>Dwyane Wade, HOF player
>Lebron James, once in a generation talent
>Chris Bosh, (super)star support player to Wade + James
And who was on the Nets that you could compare to that? And a lot of people would say that the Heat failed as well; it's not like everything was peachy in South Beach after all.
>>69285307
Why do people hate on Curry for all the dick sucking he gets from fans and the media then?
Checkmate
>>69285553
Daily reminder trip fag knows next to nothing and resort to strawman because they're so delusional
>hurr durr different opinion
>you dont watch basketball!!
Fucking faggot dude, take a look in the mirror and see who you're trying to convince
Durant is a pussy and his lack of legacy will reflect this bitch move forever. Congrats on your "get rich quick" scheme, and enjoy what a real champion and legend looks like
>>69285560
Doesnt matter Lebron to the Heat is 2x more of a bitch move than KD to the Warriors and only casuals will argue that
>>69285484
>Lebron left a team that already in multiple finals
He went to a smaller amount of finals and conference finals combined as KD, LeBron only made the conference finals twice iirc with the cavs.
>>69285363
No one said that tripfag
>>69285616
>>69285560

I'm not saying they'd hold a match to the heat i'm just saying as far as "bringing together superstars for a ring" its somewhat comparable.
Half of me wants Westbrook to leave and find better pastures. The other half of me wants him to stay in OKC and go into fuck you mode.
So what would happen if Westbrook won a title in OKC before Durant ever won one in GS?
>>69285173
Miami had 41 wins before the move
Golden state had the reining mvp, 73 win team, and best okc in the playoffs
Golden state were being arrogant pricks all year and finally got what was coming to them and Durant went ahead and joined them
Durant was also part of the criticism of lebrons move and added in to the constant media barrage and hate lebron went through for 6 years
It's his move and honestly it makes sense from a win now perspective but what pisses me off if the inconsistency
The lebron haters will defend Durant and continue to vilify lebron. This is probably their favorite squad since its full of lebron cucks like Steph Kevin and west

Stay mad tripfag retard, Durant pulled biggest pussy move in basketball history, get over it
How many titles does KD have to win to not be a bitch nigga anymore.
If he went to Boston or Miami would anyone really be upset besides methheads?
>>69285691

>>69285728
Nah Lebron was worse
Not to mention Lebron is the most overrated player in NBA seeing as how he is a consistent choker in big games his entire career.
But he is the best athlete in the NBA ill give him that. And outside of his Anti-clutchness he is a pretty good Basketball player
But KD to GS isnt as much of a bitch move as LeBron to the Heat
>>69285733
Haven't seen a three peat in a long ass time so I don't he gets three.
Warriors lineup blows up next year with him and stephs contracts as well. Iggy and Livingston will be 34/33 then as well, with expired contracts
This year they are going to be good, little depth, but a better playoff team. Last year they were so Deep that they were actually a better season team
I'm hoping for a dreymon or Durant acl tear to be honest but I think the clips/Spurs/cavs have a chance at beating them
Reminder if you weren't posting on /sp/ during the decision you have no right to label what KD did as a bitch movr over Lebron
>>69285784
hahahahah are you posting from a time machine you fucking idiot?

>>69285815
>>69285836
>>69285842
>now resorting to changing the subject and dissing on the mavs
You guys have no backbone. Just like Lebron and just like KD and no matter how mad you get at the Mavs, KD still wasnt as much of a bitch move as LeBron. Deal with it when you watch the Cavs and Lebron miss the finals.
>>69285904
>lose in first round every year
>no one wants to play with your shit team
Hahha bro he dropped the first round to an 8 seed the year he won his mvp
Lol
Literally doesn't even count as an mvp
>>69285676
Two players that were old even when they were in Boston do not equate to Dwyane Wade and Lebron, and Deron Williams and Joe Johnson don't even come close. Not even comparable
Dirk is poised for another 8th seed run this year. Made some key free agent signing which include Seth curry and Michael Jordan's cousin they met in the arena bathroom

Yep. And he is still more clutch than Lebron
And more Loyal
And not a cry baby bitch
And doesnt need to go to superstar teams to win the Finals or Finals MVP
Also he doesnt choke in Finals games like Lebron
But you guys are changing the subject so lets get back on track:
While KD to GS is indeed a bitch move, Its not worse than LeBron going to the Heat.
- The Western Conference is still competitive
- OKC is still a good team and not a lottery pick
- GSW still might not win the championship due to the competiveness of the conference
- KD didnt need to cause Hype by drawing out a decision and wasting valuable FA time
I was here on /sp/ during the decision and considering all the buzz and anger and trolling that was going on then, KD to GS is tame as fuck compared to that.
Durant didn't move like from Cleveland Lebron to Miami LeBron, e is making it more like Cleveland Lebron to Miami Bosh.

>>69285387
Drama ≠ basketball substance
>>69286378
Why does anyone want him for anything but a third unit? Seems like he would be too huge of a weakness on defense and he's not always going to be wide open, seems like the type of guy you get solely just to have a veteran
>>69286403
I think he meant top 10/20 at their position

I'll give you love, but I honestly think if you believe kevin love is 7th overall in the league in 2014 you're out of your mind. He was stat padding on a 21 win team. I'd take like 35 people over him.
But to the point, to act like lebron is pulling some super star bullshit with kevin love is a stretch, as we saw in the finals

you're stating lebrons is worse because of the national tv event and the introductory "interview" event with wade and bosh? are those the only reasons?

>>69286815
kek
>>69286849
I think even though the Heat pre Lebron may not have been as good as the Warriors pre Durant but there are many factors that make Lebron > Heat worse than Durant > Warriors
Substance wise on the surface it may seem because of the outlook of the two teams Durant might seem worse. But considering how stacked the Western Conference is and how abysmal the Eastern conference was at that time (and yes coupled with the decision and the wade/bron/bosh party) put Lebron > Heat ahead of Durant > Warriors in the "Bitch Move" department
>mlw the memes and lebrons fighting in their last year of relevance
>>69286782
Lebron went to a team that didnt leave the first round for 4 years and didnt even make the playoffs one of those years
Durant was one game away from the finals and blew a 3-1 lead, left his title contender team, and went to the team that he choked to
>>69286976
are you drunk robot?
we all start getting honestly worried about you.
>>69286976
41 win team heat < 73 win warriors
Starting a new team from scratch < joining an established team
Working with low cap so bench peices are limited < having huge cap so you can afford 4 max contract players, a finals mvp, and a bunch of people taking veteran mins
Being the best player in the league < jointing the reigning two time mvp
Sorry buddy the facts just don't suit your argument. Not to mention, the amount of shit talked by the Warriors last year by far exceeds the fucking heat fans rally that shouldn't have even been televised
>>69286976
>>69287021
Lets look at how each conferencr faired a few years before each decision
>2008
76ers 6th 41-41
Bulls 7th 41-41
Pistons 8th 39-43
compared to
Mavs 6th 50-32
Hornets 7th 49-33
Jazz 8th 48-34
>2009
The eastern conference finally had all their playoff teams at a .500 recoed or better but The Boston Celtics were a 4th seed and the lowest seeded team to win 50 games. Meanwhile in the WC you had the 6 7 and 8 seed all with 50 wins
Now lets fast forward to a few yeaes before Durant > Warriors
>2015
The WestConf actually had the pelicans making the 8th seed being below .500 but the East had 2 with only 3 teams with 50 wins or more while the West had 7
>2016
the WestConf held 7 of the Top 10 teams in scoring.
Lebron James going to the Heat in 2010 created a super power team in a conference with very little parity. He essentially created a monopoly team in that conference. That team went to the finals for 4 straight years. The Warriors even with Durant wont have nearly as easy of a time doing that.
And that is why Lebron to the Heat is more of a bitch move than Durant to the Warriors

>>69287327
You're leaving out the hindsight aspect, its easy to call them a monopoly heat team years later after they hit the finals so hard but when he left he had only been to one finals and been swept, and the heat had declined massively since the mid 2000 ship.
They could have just as easily not won shit. This wasnt a team that was savage as fuck without lebron, and im not so sure that Wade and bosh without bron would have even done anything in the playoffs.
This warriors team doesnt need kd as theyve shown over and over. Thats the difference. Lebron created a team, durant jumped on one. The latter is much more impressive, all the while riskier and more credit worthy
>>69287554
You are reaching to the point of coming up with anything you can to convince yourself that lebron is worse because you don't like him
Your conclusions are based on feelings and not facts
Miami wasn't as good as a 73 win team man
Lebron was better than Wade, curry is reigning mvp
Lebron never lost to Miami in playoffs, Durant just lost to golden state
Miami had three all stars, golden state wil have 4, plus a finals mvp off the fucking bench
To say Miami was was just stacked or the same thing is factually incorrect
Read this
>>69287327
Wow you generation x kids really have short memories.
Everybody always blames Lebron but never blames the root of the superteam re-surge(Because super teams AREN'T new to the NBA) which was Bostons big 3 and the loaded lakers.
Basically only people who hate Lebron keep blaming him and holding onto "muh decision"

>>69287646
They will have 5. Klay Curry Draymond Durant Iggy. And coming off two finals appearances with the best record in nba history.
And the 2nd best player in the league decided to jump ship. And people unironically think lebron going to heat is worse than this. top kek
>>69287625
Lebron leaving Cleveland caused an already small parity conference to even less parity. Durant leaving OKC doesnt put a dent in the already big parity of the West.
Lebron to the heat guaranteed him a finals birth every year.
Durant to the Warriors doesnt.
>>69287575

The spurs shouldn't touch his ass after what happened last year when they had a bench primarily made up of old dudes
>>69287723
>doesnt put a dent in parity
Youre delusional. OKC is not even a competitor now. Its spurs warriors thats it, and spurs havent left the semis in 2 years. Top to bottom the west is worse with less parity than the east. Your argument is factually false
>>69287723
>broke up GS's only competitor
>parity
>>69287723
But it didn't though. Another funny thing I notice is that people talk shit about how easy the east is, but if thats the case why wouldnt all the western conference superstars go to the east where its so easy?
Its because lebron would turn them into carmelo, aka yeah youre good but fuck off you cant beat me and you never will. So stay in the west and point fingers about how easy lebron has it because youre too scared to go against him, resting on the "well we didnt win because the west is so much harder" while lebron continues to dominate the entire league
>west is so dominant
>lebron has 3 out of the last 5 championships on 2 different teams
getfucked
>>69287723
what?
Durant leaving kills the thunder in terms of contention. There are now only 2 teams capable of coming close to gs now; the spurs and clippers (lol).
>>69287646
How did you manage to read my post and completely miss the whole point of what I said and then start posting rebuttals that my post all ready argued against. Come up with something new to say please and stop bringing this dialogue a few steps back.
>>69287656
As much of a crybaby and choker Lebron is I dont hate him. i was wanting the cavs to win over the Warriors. That's why I am able to take bias out of this argument and say with confidence that Dirant to the Warriors is not worse than Lebron to the Heat, and I have posted my reasons for doing so
>>69287777
OKC is still good for a possible 8 seed, they certainly arent going to turn into a dumpster fire like Cabs did after Lebron left.
>>69287795
>OKC is/was Warriors only competition
>being this retarded
>a leaf

>>69287903
Thats because lebron didnt leave a team with a top 3 pg in the league
>>69287903
>>being this retarded
the Spurs are no competition for them. They've fucked the Spurs every time they play, even before they became elite. That series where they lost in 6 was the last time these teams were evenly matched
>>69287866
This
If you're not on lebrons team in the east you haven't gotten a finals shot since 2010
Bosh got hurt in 2012 and it didn't matter
Love got hurt in 2015 and it didn't matter
durant knew he wasn't besting lebron even if he knocked off gsw
>>69287866
If lebron is so good why doesnt he play for a team in the West and show how dominant he?
>>69287958
Well, that's just asinine. They lost the regular season series to the Spurs in 2014-15, and that road win against the Spurs in 2016 was the first time the Warriors had won in San Antonio since Valentine's Day in 1997. Until very recently, the Spurs had Golden State's number.
>>69287327
Interesting. But it doesn't change the fact that Durant made the ultimate bitch move.
Lebron's team in his first run in Cleveland were literal trash except for Ilgauskas (and that's a huge stretch)
The conference was dominated by Boston, who created their own super team at the time. All roads led to Boston in the EC.
Lebron said fuck it, I'm gonna move to a shit team in the Heat and create my own big three, just to combat the big boys of Boston.
Although he was a bitch for ditching Cleveland, he really wanted a ring and put all his eggs in a basket with a shit organization and made it great with Wade and Bosh.
Durant on the other hand, had an established team in the WC, played with an all-star and other good players, and almost beat the team he ended up joining.
Durant was also on record in saying that he hated the superteam fad, which makes him look more of a bitch.
They're both bitches, but Durant is more of a bitch for joining a team that he almost beat. Lebron just joined Wade in Miami and brought along Bosh and hoped to God the team would work out well.
>>69287974
>exposing the real reason durant didnt go to the celtics
Because he knew that he'd never sniff the finals for the rest of his career as long as lebron was active. So he went to the only group of people who could potentially beat lebron (without KD even on their team)
Hence, fucking bitch move, especially because he had this "goat team" down 3-1 and he fucking choked it away and left like a pussy
wtf i love lebron now?!
>>69288030
But they don't anymore which is the point I think he's trying to get across, pretty much no one in the West has much hope against these guys with Durant.
>>69288023
Because he's been in the east his entire career and hes not the one making excuses? haha its called burden shifting, lebron is the one who is sitting pretty while everyone else cries and complains how easy he has it, yet no one will step up to him. Pussy ass league getting cucked by the king
"if he had to play this team" "if he had to play that team," maybe the west wouldnt be so "stacked" with wishful thinking underachiever all stars if they didnt distance themselves from lebron so blatantly, and then the icing on the cake is using it as an excuse
>>69288070
I'm kind of glad he didn't go to the eastern conference, but going to the warriors is pussy
>>69287656
The Celtics started it. then the Lakers got Gasol and gave up nothing for it. The Celics went to 2 finals and the Lakers 3 straight
Bron and Wade responded to that.
>>69287903
Dirk is 66-76 in the playoffs with 8 first round losses
He's shit
>>69288173
To be fair, Gasol did not become a perennial all-star until he joined up with Kobr.
People knew he was good, but they didn't know he would be that good in helping Kobr win 2 rings.
So realistically what do the Cavs do here? Make the move for Korver they tried last year? Drop lots of talented role players for Wade? Trade Kevin Love for pennies on the dollar?
>>69288117
I think the opposite. I think players like kd want to stay in the west were winning means something. It's not a cupcake path to the finals. Kd is a competitor and wants to win where it means something to win. Winning a single series in the west is more of an accomplishment then making it to the finals in the east.
>>69288239
Trade Love for a serviceable big man.
They have enough ballhandlers in Lebron and Kyrie, adding a third one would just create discord.
>>69288239
They'd be silly to not look into a trade for Kevin Love, I like him and he did well in bursts for the Cavs but overall his skills are covered by other players on the Cavs. Personally I'd love to see him in Atlanta that rebounding and floor spacing are two things that they seem to love.
>>69288251
Have fun with 0 rings for the sake of "being competitive" when in reality running from bron
>>69288056
Thank you for being an Anon that actually moved the Dialogue along. You are a rare breed.
The heat werent a shit organization, far from it. Theyve been on of the established teams in the East for auite some time, Pat riley is one of the greateat coaches in basketball.
Cleveland was just as much of an established team before Lebron left it. Yeah sure it was mostly due to lebron (and other decent supporting cast players Shaq anyone?) but like with the whole parirt thing, OKC isnt going to turn into a lottery team unless its intentional (and its quite a possibility considering how shit the NBA is and how easy it is to do it)
The Celtics Big 3 was fading, Lebron and Co. as evident knew that and knew creating 1 superteam in that Conference would instantly give them King of the Hill status and easy path to the finals every year, especially with a player as dominant as Lebron.
There are still too many factors in my eyes that put Lebron being the more bitch move.
>>69288117
Nah, Lebron knew that if he had left cleveland for the first time and plaued in the West, he wouod never sniff a finals again. He plays in the East cause its easy mode and he can stat pad his legacy. If he had played in the West no one would even care who he is. He would just be "That one really good player in a sea of other good players"
>>69288321
They finally figured out how use love in game 7, he needs to get boards and play interior defense, Thompson can switch on the peremeter
Lebron is going to have to cover Durant so love can guard dreymon/iggy
Other than that love is great against the east teams
>>69288382

>>69288372
The cavs shouldn't have beat the warriors this year. Refs and silver helped them out to get there. Game dynamic totally changed after 3-1 cavs set 20plus moving screens a game. Refs admitted they make calls for the team that is down. The warriors match up the worst against the cavs. Spurs and thunder would have won in 5. Clippers would have beat cavs in 7. Lebron ain't that good anymore bud that's kyries team. He is the reason lebron has that ring on his finger.

Three top 5 picks on the same roster. Lebron is the only player in history that can say that. The warriors will still only have one next year. But lebron needs atleast 3 if he wants to have a chance and even then he usually can't get it done.
>>69288474
I'm not sure you're familiar with what a hypothetical is because I never said anything hypothetical for you to respond to. I stated facts, that westbabby's will forever use the excuse while lebron is 3 out of the last 5 finals against 3 different west teams. So who is the strong one?

After their chip season in 06, they had not left the first round in the playoffs, and Wade was made of glass during that period. They weren't shit, but they were not exactly an elite team. Lebron still took a risk in going there.
>Cleveland was just as much of an established team before Lebron left it.
Cleveland has never won a chip until now and they were irrelevant until Lebron came along in 03. Their best seasons were them getting cucked by Jordan prior to Lebron.
>Shaw
After Miami, he was never the same. He wasn't the difference maker like he was in LA.
>The Celtics Big 3 was fading
They made the chip the year before Lebron went to Miami. As far as Lebron was concerned, Celtics were still a threat.
You're also not looking at the fact that Durant was in one of the elite teams in the West, and just moved to another elite team. We wouldn't even be discussing this had Durant and Co. not choked against the memeoirs.
It's not hard to see Durant pulled a bigger bitch move; he moved from a great team to the team that beat him. That's the biggest bitch move the NBA has ever seen.

Okay so that's one team. Now I can name you six teams. Lebron is on all of them. So six teams six years compared to one when they had barely been in the league. Those three youngins made it to the finals in the west. Showing you how good having players of that caliber on your team can be. Lebron gets that every year in the far easier east.
>>69289021
Here comes the "last shot" kobe & jordan faggots.
K-kyrie irving m-made the last shot of t-the game. H-he should win the em-mvp
Nevermind everything else Lebron does throughout the whole season and playoffs that even makes it possible for the Cavs to be in the finals, and nevermind the block that highly likely kept golden state from getting an edge in the last moments of the game, 1 shot means you're a finals MVP
>>69289249
Hahaha hahaha bleacher report notifications. Typical lebron lover get the fuck out you don't know shit about sports.
>>69289021
Kerr should've won 97 finals mvp right
>>69288889
Durant was on one of the elite teams in the west in OKC
Lebron was on an elite team in the east in the heat
The only difference is OKC wont be a dumpster fire post Durant like Cavs were post Lebron
Celtics made the championship before lebron to the heat because that conference is poor. The Magic made it to the finals (and promptly got BTFO by the lakers)
Durant wasnt as mich of a bitch move unleas he ends up gloating about it and thats the only way

Good response. A lot of content.
Lebron get out of my way teammates I'm getting this easy rebound. Yes padding my stats. Late game free throws I'm taking them even tho kyrie is better at fts. I need to pad my stats. Drive on steph no ill pass it off I'm a bitch. Gotta get my assists and I've already missed five lay ups this game.
>>69289380
are you really saying he stat pads rebounds when he has TRISTAN THOMPSON and KEVIN LOVE on his team?
I won't even address the other bullshit

Lol
Lebron scored 9 of their last 12 points in that game 7
>but Kyrie made a shot!
Cool fucking beans, clay and Steph had just nailed back to back threes at home and took the lead with about 4 left
Lebron drained 3/3 free throws and a three in the next two possessions to put them at 89, which was all the Warriors would go on to score.
Not to mention the legod block
>>69289513
Wot?
>>69289417
I wouldn't necessarily say that means much though, Look at Durant, 8.8 boards per game but it's pretty established that Adams, Kanter, Ibaka and even Roberson were better rebounders than him.
>>69289545
Hahaha hahahaha no this board is shit and most are idiots. But you still use bleacher report and you're still posting gtfo.

That's a reach m8. Lebron and Bosh made that team elite again.
>Celtics made the championship before lebron to the heat because that conference is poor. The Magic made it to the finals (and promptly got BTFO by the lakers)
Lebron could not get past either of those teams so he said fuck it I'll bitch out to Miami. Doesn't mean Boston was shit, and the Magic went on a tear in 09. They were the real deal until LA came along.
I think you're focusing too much on what Lebron did back in the day as opposed to what Durant is doing now. I don't remember the last time an elite NBA player joined the runner-ups to potentially coast to another finals.
>>69289622

>>69289652
I didn't say I was disagreeing with you I was saying that having other players around that are better rebounders inevitably leads to more rebounds for most players.
>>69289652
Durant boxes people out sometimes. Lebron jumps over his teammates to get east defensive boards. His offensive boards are from his own missed layups.
why does regular season wins mean nothing unless it supports peoples arguments
>>69289513

Wade prolly won't, but I think he'd be much better off taking less money for stability and a chance to win. He can be very very good in short bursts, but he isn't the kinda guy that can carry a team for an entire season and post season anymore.
I think the ideal situation for him would be to transition to a role similar to what Manu Ginobli did. He could lengthen his career by 3-4 years and save his body from the wear and tear.
>>69289945
He is going to the Cavs i thought that was obvious

>>69289986
Not to mention beating a 73 win team while scoring the most points, getting the most assists and grabbing the most rebounds out of anyone on the team. You don't have to like lebron but I don't see how you can genuinely think he didn't have a top 3 or 5 all time finals performance and not be a shitty troll.
>>69290062
and steals
and blocks
and clutch
and down 3-1
>>69290006
Jesus Christ one free throw. What about the free throw he missed?
And yeah you've barely been watching basketball. His 2014 finals performance was so much better than this one. And not to mention jordans finals were probably all better than lebrons. Minus maybe 2014.
Typical lebron dick rider can't even ride it right. Like that dumb hot chick from a sorority.

they would make the playoffs for sure. If you're a cheap-ass owner like Reinsdorf and only care about extra revenue then I could see it.
They already showed that they don't wanna tank by signing Rondo and keeping Butler
>>69290113
Are you retarded? One FT is the difference maker, it extends the lead to 4 and makes it a 2 possession game? And the miss didn't matter because they only needed one. Why do you even post.

ok im done responding to you, take your meds, ignored

im going to interject here and agree with you that Lebron did have one od the moat dominant finals
But Lebron to the Heat is still more of a bitch move than Durant to GS
>>69290113

>>69290149
Hey bleacher report told you to leave.
>>69290179
I don't give a shit about lebron to the heat. I'm talking about his finals performance. You can't deny he had an all time great finals performance this year. Even after having an awful game 2 he bounced right back and played great. Literally just for that, coming down 3-1 to beat the greatest regular season record holding team of all time, catapults lebron into the top 5 imo or top 3.
>anti lebron arguments
>2016
pick one
>>69290170
Look at 2014. That's the last time he shot 50% the entire finals. People who think lebron is so good now make me think they never watched him before 08-14 he was far better than now. He could actually shoot a ball outside the paint. Didn't miss 5 lay ups a game. But wait what happened after 2014? Oh yeah hgh testing came into effect and lebron got a lot worse and some how managed to lose 40 pounds in two months....hmm that's okay I miss hgh lebron he was fun to watch. Not just a washed up old man who isos every time he touches the ball.

Okay its time to clear the air and pit this shit to rest
Yes Lebron had a dominant 2016 finals performance
Yes Lebron is the best player playing in the league right now (followed closely by Dirk)
Yes Lebron might end his career with 5 rings
Yes Lebron is scared to play on a Western Team
Yes Lebron Stat Pads
Yes Lebron is shows more post season anti-clutch than real clutch
Yes his fans are insufferable twats
Yes he will go down as a Top 3 Basketball player of all time
Yes his mom was a slut
Yes he is a pretty decent actor and should be in Space Jam 2
Yes he did try to steal Dirks shot
Mavs will get the 5th seed this season. Cap it.
I'm interested to see how LeBron fairs in the coming years. He has played more basketball since he came into the NBA than anyone. 3 Olympics, multiple deep playoff runs including 7 NBA Finals Appearances, and he has played a massive amount of minutes in those games as he buoyed a lot of those Cavalier teams. His body must be near dead mode. Can he transition from a less physical play style that leans on his natural athleticism or will he be like Kobe and fall off the face of the Earth due to nagging injuries and old age?

But everything else i posted is pretty true
>>69290518
He can, but he probably won't. He's not like Kobe or Jordan when they learned how to post up in their primes, and continued to use it.
Kobr was playing 40+ mins a game at age 35. That's ridiculous, even for a guy like him.
>>69290518
Depends what he wants to do, he can't keep playing like he does now past 35 probably, but he can still be great for a team. As far as having team success though we'll see how the new salary caps change things but if he can take a paycut to fit into a right situation then he can keep winning as part of the team. Maybe he'll surprise everyone and retire early but I expect him to play until 40 and try to hold a lot of records
>>69290618
>thinking anyone cares where a decrepit old man plays bball
>>69290518
If he ever gets his jumper back he might have more longevity
>>69290518
he needs to:
- restore his jumpshot
- improve his post game
His post game is still clunky. If he fixes those things he can play as long as he wants
>>69290567
Dang
So Wade is Satisfied with 3 titles so all he wants is money? He is a joke.
the entire NBA should be disbanded
>>69290924
>not being satisfied after reaching the pinnacle of the sport three times
He's sacrificed his already glass body for the rings, now he can do to rake in the dosh.
>>69290924
At this point why not try and maximize money? His legacy is relatively set in stone and good luck competing with either Cleveland in the East or Golden State in the West.
>>69290688
>Lebron can't post up
>Uses Kobe who was inefficient and a shot chucker plus holds record for most bricks as his example
>>69290979
He can be a great by signing for a minimum and winning titles. A great players wants titles at the cost of money. Also he is not worth 20-30 million dollars a year. He can barely play anymore. He will fall apart next year.
>>69291006
What does Kobe's chucking have to do with posting up
This is a great team name and logo, Wish they were still around. Sports need more unique names and less Rangers/Giants/Kings/Big Cat/Bird names.
>>69290955
This desu. Make a fanasty draft
>>69290983
So sign with those teams to have the best chance of winning. He already has made millions go after more titles.
69291006
must be nice getting a (You) just for shitposting.
Fuck off, casual.
>>69291047
He already has three. He gets to choose whether he wants to keep ring chasing or get paid.If he falls apart, that's free money.
>>69291086
It's easy from an outsider standpoint to tell Wade to go for the vet minimum and sign with Cleveland rather than sign with Nuggets, Bucks, or Heat for $20 million-ish. Maybe Wade wants to live a lavish lifestyle for him and his family well into his 60's rather than potentially up his ring total from 3 to 4-6. Wade getting more rings as a bench role player won't elevate him in the eyes of many legacy wise. Why be worth $100 million when you can be worth $150 million. Apparently Wade spends money out the ass.
>>69291086
It's his occupation. It's like this, every year your work holds a competition for sales. If you get the most sales you get recognition and a bonus. You've already won the competition a few times and you get offered to be a vp your last couple years and make more money. If you take the position you don't get to be in the sales competition. Now you have already won it and it has lost its luster. You can take more guaranteed money by taking the vp position.

>>69291182
I understand money is a big deal but with all the money he made he can go on to so many Business Ventures. I mean he has all the connections. Look at Jamal Mashburn nowadays.
Plus look at Manu Ginobili he is the greatest South American player in the history of the Game. A true classic player with a great euro step, drive, and defense. He is even better then Oscar Schmidt he is a hall of famer.
Old Money always trumps new money.

I'd also add Lakers as the name makes no sense with the city but the team is iconic due to it's massive past success so they get a pass.
>>69291195
Understandable but man these teams are complete dumbasses if they offer Wade that much money. Denver has a young team there is no need for Wade. He will be utterly useless for them. I cannot wait till all these big contracts bite some of these teams in the ass.
>>69291324
OR he doesn't do it because he cant. I watched that pussy drive to the hole against curry 15 times against curry and he dishes it off or misses a lay up. Guy cant take curry one on one...trash. weak. Shut up you don't know shit about basketball.

>>69291414
Understandable but you have the network at your disposal to be a great business man. You can hire someone to teach you. I mean you have a lot more opportunities then other people.

Wade puts Denver back on the map. He could help show our young guys what a winner looks and acts like. Everyone who follows the Nugs wants Wade to come, even for 2/60.
>>69291324
Didn't really change that much considering he rarely takes anyone on in the block.
If Lebron chooses to re-learn and refine his post game, I can guarantee you it would make it a lot easier for him and his teammates.

Maybe Wade doesn't want to to the hustlin' and grindin' required to make money off business. Maybe he is content to max his money making in the NBA, slap his face and name on some products, and live his life like that. If you don't put a lot of money and time into business ventures they can bite you in the ass hard. We have tons of example of players just signing checks away to guys who promise to double or triple it via business ventures and the money just disappears.

>>69291637
Agreeable but if I were wade I would call Magic or Jamal talk so business. I am sure they have talks about what players do after the NBA. Its a family and you are always connected to players once you retire. It would be hilarious if wade actually needed this big contract to start a business venture.

>>69291726
>He is 35 and broken down
Notice how not one benefit I mentioned depends on how he plays? His name brings star power, and his experience would be invaluable to the young players. Best case, Wade doesn't have injury problems and we get 7th or 8th seed and have some fun in the playoffs. Worst case, we mismanage his knees and all we get is the benefits that I've just said. Remember, the Nuggets have lots and lots of cap space.
This isn't a move to compete with the Warriors anyway. This is a move that accepts we won't be competing for two years barring a great trade.

Lebron left the lunch table of the kids who pick their noses and breath through their mouths to go join his friends
Durant left his friends at the lunch table to go sit with his bullies and offer them his lunch and drinks so they don't bully him anymore
>>69291858
I am a Pistons fan so trust me Nuggets are going to be very good very soon with all the talent they have. I mean he could be their vocal leader that guides the team to the playoffs. But Denver has a great veteran core group with a great young core group. You have a very deep and talented team.

Never thought the end of his career would look like that
>You now realize that the Cavs only won a championship due to winning the draft lottery 4 times. This was all in spite of horrible management decisions year after year. Ping pong balls are the sole reason the Cavs won. In Northeast Ohio, nothing is earned. Everything is given.

Thunder is a nice name considering Oklahoma gets ravaged by storms and tornadoes every odd week, it's literally the only thing notable about that place.
The problem is the fucking logo. This shit right here is the single worst logo in professional sports, "Thunder" is the last thing I would think of upon seeing that shit, it wouldn't even be acceptable for a burger chain.
>>69291941
Hey he could buy himself some great suits. He can help Murray become Wade 2.0
>>69291955
meh
>>69291971
I always liked their logo despite the hate for it
>>69291971
That's what I meant by name/re-imagining. In the arena after a big shot they could play some Thunder sound effect over the speakers or something. Thunder can work, it currently doesn't.
>>69291971
At this point I can't think of anything that'd be a good change.
Although now that Durant has up and left, no better time for a redesign.
>>69292009
What is there to like? It looks like a logo for some buffet chain where 13 year old skater kids get a slushie.

Heat and Thunder are actually pretty good names, better than the standard shit where teams are just named after some goofy animal.
memes aside, do you guys watch the wnba?
>>69292204
Yeah I agree I'm just saying the way those 2 went together haha. Plus it's not your typical team that ends with an "s' either.

No, last time I watched it was on Brittney Griners debut, that was the only time I watched it too. I'm not a big fan of supporting a bunch of dykes

No. Why would I?

>>69291818
I guess that trade would involve a lot of draft picks and Isaiah Thomas and Jae Crowder. There's no way they're not going to give up and arm and leg for Westbrook.
Westbrook is going to go to the Spurs, isn't he.

I don't think anyone actually likes the WNBA, there isn't a single real fan, all of them are just pretending to like it either because "muh empowered wymen" or because there's no other basketball going on.
>White people freaking out because Iron Man is a 15 yr old black girl now

I was a huge fan of the Detroit Shock stopped watching the WNBA when they moved away and fuck that League. Boring as hell.
>>69292416
you are nothing hat
your name will be forgotten even before you die, no one loves you, no one has ever loved you, they're all lies.
your entire country is a joke with zero(0) good basketball players, let alone a great basketball player, let alone an instalock hall of famer.
go back to your shitty furpuck threads or go jack off with maple syrup you bitch.

Cavaliers and Indians is pretty shit tbqh, should be the Foresters and the Spiders
>>69292631
>Spiders
>Cavaliers is a bad name, we should have MORE ANIMOLS
>>69292685
>Foresters
>Animal
Spiders was the name before Indians so it's historically significant, Foresters is significant to the area unlike Cavaliers is
>>69285393
HAPPY DURANTMAS
>>69292724
I specifically greentexted Spiders you dumb fuck to make it easier for you to understand I didn't meant Foresters when I said animals.
And Cavaliers is a reference to the Civil War.

Is it the one where you include rebounds into defense and lump his blocks with 3s so that it looks relevant? Is so, no.
>>69292784
10,000 rebounds, 1,000 blocks, 1,000 steals
yeah he's no tim duncan, but to say "no defense" is a lie
>>69292843
I like Dirk but you're a huge faggot.

The civil war thing is a huge stretch, outside of Custer the state of Ohio as a whole wasn't very prevalent during the war. Foresters is at least is a reference to the citie's nickname and they could have coordinated the colors with the Browns and gone brown and orange to get a Pittsburgh type vibe going
>>69292892
>outside of Custer the state of Ohio as a whole wasn't very prevalent during the war
Ohio provided the 2nd most Union troops after Pennsylvania. Grant, Sherman and Sheridan were all from Ohio, the fuck are you on about with Custer.
>>69292856
>a key defensive stat doesnt count for Dirk
reminder that even Lebron didnt eclipse 100 blocks in a season and can barely get more defensive rebounds than Dirk in any given season
guess we cant put him in the Top 10 since his defense is comparable to Dirks
>>69292877
Less than a block per game at 7' tall. Less than 8 rebounds per game at 7' tall.

Including rebounds is reaching, and he's subpar at even that for being 7 feet tall. >and can barely get more defensive rebounds than Dirk
Lebron is also 4 inches shorter than Dirk
