Hypothetically lets say injuries are disabled in the NBA.
How do you stop this team?
>>69307649
They would be the Knicks. That itself would stop them from achieving anything relevant.
>>69307649
Well if we're talking about MVP rose and Nugg Melo then nobody
Fuck you daddyfatsax. You are a piece of shit.
thunder fans, enjoy your only trophy ever

I got a cat instead its pretty chill, those hahahahahahahahahahhahahah posts you see every once in a while is when i let him shitpost on my laptop
I named him Hinkie btw not even a sixers fan but the guy who sold him to me had a sixers cap on
>>69307649
disable injuries are they still shit
they already are damaged by injuries, they dont need to get injured again to be ruined
8th seed, maybe steal 1 playoff game and that's their ceiling.

So why do people think the Warriors are going to win shit this year?
It is a shame that Brandon rush left us.
We will have a stacked starting 5 but a bench full of washed up veterans
>>69307978
I would pay good money to see that.
>>69307838
That second unit is worse than last year
I mean unless Wade is just chasing money at this point in his career, I have no idea why he'd even consider Denver.
I find it a little weird that he doesn't have better teams interested in him.

So do I. He's still arguably a top 5 shooting guard in the league right now, behind Harden, Klay, Butler and DeFrozan.
Fuck, I really hope he comes to Denver. Nugs fans hardly ever get to have fun during free agency.
>>69308226

>>69308199
>I find it a little weird that he doesn't have better teams interested in him.
there's a real possibility that his wheels come off at some point during the first year of his three-year contract. you don't want to pay him 60m for half a year. that's not a gamble, that's reckless.

>>69308199
>Better teams interested in him
They're all capped out senpai, the only real teams that had real money to spend are ones who didn't need a 2.
It doesn't surprise me why he'd consider Denver, he took less money for years from the heat and when it's time to pay him they prioritize others and offer him a 10m a year contract?
That's disrespectful for all the times he'd taken less money to help the team. Look at how the mavericks treat Dirk, with the GM saying that Dirk gets what Dirk wants in his twilight. Look how the lakers treated kobe. Dwade is just as important to the heat as those guys were to their organizations.

The 98 WS winning Yankees sign Clemens the following year. The dynasty Niners buy Dion Sanders after losing to the Cowboys the previous year. And we have the right to say the Warriors championship will be hallow? Pu-lease.
Who else Knicks and Wolves fans here?
We finally get a season that will maybe be worth talking about.

I'd shit my pants on cam
>>69309945

in that draft I thought Parsons and Bertans were sleepers
>>69310158
Lebron felt pity and let Dirk win a ring.
He's literally the 14th best player in NBA history.
>>69310284
Wow what a loser only 14th best what a shitcunt.
>>69310195
Impossible.
LeBron would have to sign the minimum, or a bunch of guys rotation guys like Shump and Love would need to be dumped somewhere.
JR would have to resign for a small amount.
Reports are already out that Wade to the Cavs is definitely not happening and Wade is just after getting the max, not to win a ship.
>>69310284
So Dwane actually did meet with the Bucks today, in New York where the owners are. Just heard it on Milwaukee fag news channel TMJ4.
>>69310195
HOW DO YOU DARE, STOP THE CONNECTION BETWEEN 3 AND 6?
Dirk ain't even top 3 in pfs
Duncan
Chuck
Kg
Malone
Dirk
>>69310325
I already know it will not happen, but thank you for stating the obvious
>>69310325
>LeBron takes minimum
>Cavs sign Wade
>Cavs win le title of Superwarriors
>other 28 owners say fuck this shit we're having a lockout
>>69310345
Wade just taking these big offers like the one he got from nuggets back to heat to get them to price match because he thinks the NBA is walmart or some shit.
This is why you don't take discounts to stay with a team, this is why Harden going to Houston is justified. You can't trust these cunts, not ever owner is going to respect your legacy like they did with Dirk and Kobe. Some owners will, even when the team clearly can't compete for a ring and needs a rebuild, offer you 10m a season when you've been taking paycuts for the benefit of the team and winning all your career.
Fuck'em.
I hope some team offers wade a 4 year max and forces the heat to either match it or let him walk.
Sure it wouldn't matter so much to their winning aspirations, but the fans would be upset with the organization that let Dwade leave like that.
So after this finals we're all in agreement that LeBron is the greatest player to ever grace the planet, right?
>>69310358
>KG and Chuck over Malone
>Dirk above Kevin McHale, Rodman, or Pau Gasol
>>69310430
He is, only contrarians say otherwise.
>>69310430
>casuals
>>69310430
Yes. He is imo the greatest ever. He did something in that Finals series that I believe no other basketball player would ever be able to do.
Lebron is definitely the best ALL ROUND player the NBA has ever seen. His game is the most complete out of any player ever I would say.
>>69310430
He's at least even with MJ now desu

>LeBron le drive to the basket and dunk James is the same to le pull up for a mid range jumper and shit on a nigga Jordan
More of MJ's scoring was with shooting, LeBron using muscle to get to the basket.
>>69311001
I still don't understand how this is going against my point, are you the one saying Lebron can't shoot for shit compared to Jordan or are you just arguing FG% and saying that Jordan is better?
I know Jordan is a better shooter than Lebron. Lebron is still a good enough shooter than Jordan doesn't blow him out of the water.
Curry, Allen, Bird blow Lebron out of the water as a shooter, not Jordan, though Jordan was still good.
Ranking players you never got to see play much at their primes is a stupid and disingenuous exercise. So here's my rankings of players I've seen most of their careers as to who I would most like to have when starting a team (assuming they stay with me for their whole career)
1. LeBron
2. Duncan
3. Shaq
4. Kobe
5. Dirk
6. DWade
7. KG
8. Steve Nash
9. Jason Kidd
10. Allen Iverson
>>69311001
>>69311056
Don't know why people are even comparing the two when their style of play and position is different.
If you want to compare Kobe and MJ go ahead, Kobe studied and copied most of MJ's game and they had some rivalry going.
But LeBron is someone more unique and older players didn't have his style of play due to the differences in rules and eras.
>no more Galloway

My original post was saying that I think all-around lebron is the best basketball player ever.
He can do literally everything at a high level, there aren't many NBA players who have ever had EVERYTHING in their arsenal quite the way lebron has.

Because he's a great franchise player and shooting guard who took pay cuts to help his team compete and now it's biting him in the ass because his team won't give him the contract he deserves to end the swansong in the years Miami definitely can't compete.

It's still a roster of high-character guys, and a good number of them have played with at least a couple of their teammates before. I think they'll figure it out, especially in a system like Hornacek's.
>>69312813
Why is Dwight's move so surprising? He's from Atlanta and there were rumors about him wanting to form a superteam in Atlanta with CP3 literally since his Orlando days.

Atlanta's definitely a nice place these days. It's more that they have literally no fans. The city doesn't care about NBA basketball and Hawks games don't even air in certain parts of the state. The lack of support even in their best seasons is a big part of why Horford left. Even guys who don't want to be in the spotlight want their home games to feel like home games.
>Rondo/Wade backcourt
Has this tipped the scales of power back towards Raptors Bulls Lakers?

It was the exact same case in Ohio/Cleveland before Lebron, for Ohioans the most importants sports were football, football, football, baseball and more football. Most people would rather watch the shitty Browns than waste 1 second thinking about basketball. Not saying Dwight is quite Lebron level but a superstar can turn a tide quite quickly.

Pat Riley disrespected the hell out of him. He's been borderline-mocking him with lowball offers for years now because he knew how much Wade loved Miami and how hard it would be for him to leave. Wade's making $14M more per year under this deal than Miami's initial offer to him this offseason.

Good evening beautiful people!
I decided to get into basketball because I have never been a big sports fan growing up, but played basketball as a kid.
I already studied a little bit by myself and most of how the championship works is already clear to me.
The only thing I need to know from you beautiful bastards is what are the best apps (and sites, bt preferebly apps) to keep me updated on news and games.

What even is this meme? These teams are improved slightly at best.
>>69313666
They both made ridiculous improvements m8. I wouldn't be surprised if Indiana made the Finals with what they've managed to build this offseason, and they might still be adding some legitimate impact players to the mix.
>>69313425
No, it's actually west that is crumbling. They have one legitimate team, the Warriors. Now let's look at some of the contenders from recent past:
>Thunder
3 of the 4 stars they had in the 2012 finals are gone, it's just Westbrook and a bunch of literal whos now.
>Spurs
Regiment of geriatric fucks and Kawhi who is a good defender but has none of the creativity of other stars.
>Rockets
Pretty shit even before Dwight left, now they're just about done.
>Mavs
Were never really even good after 2010-11 and le first round exit man isn't getting any younger.
>Lakers

The Players are unloyal
The some of the GM's are hard assed tightwads (Fuck you Riley you salty fuck PAY THE MAN)
The Players Union is fucking up the game by refusing to taper the cap raise.
The NBA FO is filled with a bunch of pussies that don't look after the smaller market teams and do everything possible to keep parity like Stern tried.
Adam Silver is a fucking Jew that's shoving gays and ads on jerseys down our throats.
And Jesus fucking Christ has this shit just not hit the fan as hard as possible.
>>69313704
>I wouldn't be surprised if Indiana made the Finals
You and I both know that unless Lebron gets hurt, this isn't happening. He probably could beat Indiana even without Kyrie.
As for the Knicks, I won't even bother dignifying that shit with a proper reply.
So are Thunder gonna trade Westbrook? I'd trade him since its inevitable that he'll leave next year. Might as start fresh.

Spotted the casual. Enes is top 10 in PER, 6th man of the year candidate, and Adams is a rising star. Victor Oladipo is a rising star as well, is guaranteed to do better in OKC than he did with the Magdick and their horrible organization.
>Regiment of geriatric fucks and Kawhi who is a good defender but has none of the creativity of other stars.
Those old fucks won many championships and Kawhi + Aldridge is literally the best chance at beating GS now by slowing down their tempo and hitting them hard in orchestrated half court mastery.

>>69313798
You're completely right. Lance Thomas is the most underrated player in the NBA. Great defense/shooting and a very high basketball IQ. Jennings is what really brings the spark though, because he can distribute and score to keep the offense alive while the starters rest. The Knicks got two starting point guards and put one at back up basically.
>>69313862
>legit discussion to now make the WCF
why do the Spurdoras who are spamming this think the Cloppers dont exist? you're right, the Thunder are pretty much done, but the Cloppers are still better than the Spurs. the safest bet is a Warriors vs Cloppers WCF with the Warriors winning all 4 games by 30 points
Is Giannis good yet? Seems like every year people say "He'll be an all star in 2-3 years", "All he's gotta do is develop ______, work on ______, and perfect ______". Has it been 2-3 years yet? Ben simmons already looks like a better version of him

He can shoot 3s well, he plays okay defense. He will fit in well with the Cavs' "Sit on the 3 point line and wait for LeBron to get you open" offense.
>>69313898
You're an idiot. There is literally not a single team in the NBA that's willing to trade big for a top 5 superstar only for him to leave next year as a URFA, you're an uninformed idiot that hasn't been reading news reports or even knows how the NBA works in these sorts of situations. The Thunder are better off keeping Westbrook and risking him leaving than trading him for pennies. Just as it's not worth trading important draft picks and players for someone that's going to leave as soon as the year is up.

>>69313998
Teague, Thad Young, and Al Jefferson all have something in common. None of them play defense. Having watched the Hornets and Knicks every season for the past six years I know Big Al's game, he really won't provide much. Young benefited from playing on a bad team, padding his stats, and it would take an all star Jeff Teague to drag hte pacers to the 5th seed. IF Teague and George are both all stars their ceiling is the 4th/5th seed. As for the Hornets, they got worse at center and did nothing to improve. They lost their two best bench/glue guys in Lin and Lee and probably won't make it higher than 7th.

You're damage controlling again with more goalpost moving, that was never in your original comment and now you're back tracking and making up new narratives.
0/10, people know who Kanter and Adams are they were highly publicized as they were both crucial to beating the Spurs a la twin towers.

Derozan still can't shoot or defend and Lowry is too inconsistent. The only reason they were the 2nd seed last season is because the rest of the east (especially their division) was weak as fuck and couldn't compete. Teams like the Pacers, Knicks, Pistons, and Celtics will definitely blow the Raptors out of the water.
>>69313218
Correction:
Miami is a dead franchise.
OKC is currently on life support. Kanter, Oladipo, Adams can do some damage if Westbrook isn't traded. Still a pretty decent team, can make first round of playoffs.

And espn/youtube. Thank you.
this dude was such an elite role player/glue guy
if lebron could have had him his whole career he would have more rings, fact
>>69313998
Its gonna take at least half a season to integrate all the new players, especially with a new coach coming in. Raptors, celtics and the pistons all have much more roster continuity and will play better right from the start
>>69314144
Because it wasn't my comment you utter retard and it's pretty clear the guy just meant they have no legitimate stars now.
>yfw Kobr comes out of retirement to play for the Bulls because everyone in Chicago is confused and trying to win the 2009 NBA Championship
im honestly surprised nobody gave a shit that biyombo got paid
good luck in orlando when you can't even dribble the ball, let alone utilize a single post move
he owes lowry half his pay cheque, he was basically out of the league before masai gave him a pity million dollar contract to avoid him becoming a war lord in congo

That's where you're wrong, it's high risk high reward move that's 0 or 100% return.

>there's no way
You know him? Because no one else knows him, not even professionals. Because that's how private Westbrook and how reserved he is in opinion, unlike Durant that lashes out at the media all the time over every mean little comment by SAS and Skip.
How stupid are the Bulls? They could have traded for the Timberwolves package of Dunn and LaVine, developed a young core while the Warriors took over the league and tanked for awhile. Next year's draft class is to die for too. Instead they sign Rondo and Wade, putting their franchise in limbo at literally the worst time. What fucking idiots.
>>69314169
Shame he fell off a cliff in 2014
>>69314186
Knicks and Bulls are competing for the 2009 ECF
Rondo was lowkey one of the more underrated PGs in the NBA last year
He was on a really really bad team so effort is really hard to fault night in and night out, but he was productive as fuck. One of the better DFS PGs if that means anything. Tons of assists.
I think he is a really good fit in Chicago, but Wade doesn't make any sense to me. At least not with Rondo already there.
did more teams get better or did more teams get worse?
>>69313932
That's what the faggot gets for not choosing the lakers
>>69314226
Reddit started out in 2005 so pretty sure it doesn't. The white mamba shit started in 2010 when he played for the Bulce.
>>69314188
how many more busts will it take for NBA GMs to stop massively overpaying people based on a handful of games in the playoffs?
it's like they dont even scout other teams during the regular season so when they watch the playoffs they assume these guys were playing like that all year. its fucking retarded

JG went from 10 to 2 with her new hair
Wade in a Bulls jersey is going to be really fucking weird, family. I thought Durant to GSW was the craziest move, and it was as far as impact on the NBA, but in terms of feeling really fucking wrong it's not even close to as fucked up as Wade leaving Miami.
Any other Bulls fans here disgusted rn?

Keep trying. You're trying to say that some random guy cares more about damage controlling a comment than the original poster, if you're not the OP you're a cuck trying to do the job of someone else.

>>69314317
Seriously fuck that guy. Rondo is one of the most pathetic stat padders in nba history at this point. He doesn't even care about playing good defense.
>>69314265
Reddit was completely fucking irrelevant before 2010, it's like saying Modest Mouse has been around since 1992 when nobody knew who they were or gave a shit about them until 2000.
>>69314037
Gibson will be at the 4.
That is actually a damn good defensive team. Can't shoot for shit, but defense will be top 10 easy.
PG: Dragic, ???
SG/SF: Justice Winslow/Gerald Green, ????
PF: Josh McBob, Udonis Haslem (bosh ded)
C: Hassan Whiteside, ????
how is this team even going to win 30 games

>>69314317
No they weren't. I'm a NBA DFS degenerate and I watched tons of Kings games.
Him and Boogie were the entire offense cuz the team was so poorly coached. Rondo would create a shot or Boogie would create a shot. The Kings also wore Rondo down by playing him 40+ mins regularly for whatever reason. It was a weird season for him, but he was pretty fucking good.
He is a massive upgrade over Rose. But if you are gonna roll with Rondo you gotta have a shooting 2. And they got Wade.

Goodbye parity, we hardy knew thee.
Never have I felt this way, it feels like my heart has been ripped by a chick. Damn Wade why. I didnt care when lbj left. It didnt suck as much when I found out Zo had the health issue. This one stings hard, but I understand. Gotta do what I gotta do. Lets see what scrubs riley overpays

So even if he sucks the Bulls will still get good young players and have money for free agency
Wade can also help butler recruit

Joakim Noah is trash even when healthy so there's that.

I'm not backpedaling, I'm saying that Reddit was some whogivesashit site for its first five years of existence. Success after that point doesn't retroactively grant them success before that point, so for all intents and purposes they barely existed.

Really how did that meme even start? GSW bandwagoners looking at his steal count and assuming high number of steals = good defense?

what went wrong?

Are Knicks and Bulls confused? Do they realize its 2016 not 2011
Guys this just means the Bulls wont tank as hard. Sure it's dumb but not the end of the world. The Bulls can alwaya drop Rondo nezt year and sign an elite free agent.
They're already getting a lottery pick from the Kings next year
Just saw the Wade news.
Is Butler gonna play the 3 or what?
>>69314186
top kek
>>69314299
Thats a fair estimate, I just can't figure out who to plug in the 7th spot. Maybe I got a little trigger happy putting the Knicks at 5, really they'll be tied with the Pacers and Hornets at the end of the season. Ultimately the only team that could replace the Hawks would be the Bulls or maybe even the Magic.
>>69314330
They signed Whiteside for 4 years, he's 27, these are his PRIME years and their team is too shit to do anything about it.
>>69314337
>Pacers
>Knicks
>Magic
They might not be that much greater but these teams still made improvements to put them in a better spot than they were in last year.
Kings also throw in portland's 2018 draft pick and their own 2017 pick and become 4th seed
>>69313954
He's replacement level maybe a bit above, but his back problems have been an issue
>>69314789
the kings don't even own their pick next year. If its out of the top ten then it goes to the bulls. If its in the top ten philly has the right to swap with them
>>69314019
wait what the fuck why? We don't need another point guard we have enough guards as it is
