Whiteside on suicide watch
Wade to Bulls
People still bitching at KD
>>69320015
It's been like this in the NBA forever.
Fuck Kevin Durant
FUCK THE HEAT
Is there even any point of getting excited about my timberwolves now? When Wiggins and Towns are around 27-28 years old and probably in their last years with us the Warriors will still have their main core of Draymond, Klay, Curry and Durant at around age 34 going for their 8th straight title.
Bulls still ain't doing shit.

Reminder that KD to the Warriors probably means a lock out is all but imminent
THERE ARE NO FUCKIN GGOOD TEAM IN THE NBA EXCEPT FOR THE WARRIORS WTF
FUCK THIS LEAGUE
>>69320093
I made my arena rainbow colored and used a unicorn as my logo.
unfortunately I never unlocked a pink game ball.

When will they ever learn?

>>69320056
If Paxson was dumb he would have dealt Butler to the Celtics/Wolves on draft night.
>There are no more weak links anymore
Not all GMs care about winning the "deal" or "getting better". Obviously a guy like Bob Myers won't just dole out Draymond Green for almost nothing but he did give away Bogut to another Western team and potential rival for a bag of peanuts.
A bottom barrel team or a small market team with zero leverage will almost always have to cough up more.
>>69320093
Genius
Leave KD to me.
1995 NBA draft: all of the first thirty draft picks were American except for Czech center George Zidek (#22).
2016 NBA draft: only six Americans selected among the top 15 picks.
Who is the most likeable team in the NBA right now
>>69320158
2016 draft was considered a weak one and the 15 was probably one of the best in a long time
>>69320175
Imo Timberwolves
Nice young core with alot of potential
>>69320075
Lil B knew what kind of person KD was.
>>69320158
Nice cherrypicking stat
>>69320199
but what do you guys think about Lil B sucking KD's dick now? surprised he hasnt gotten any shit on here for that

>healthy bosh
I know I'm a little late to the Dunleavy discussion but man was I glad when Giannis trucked that fuck during the playoffs.
Now that he's the token white guy for the cavs, I'm still going to root for the cabs to overcome the warriors. Fuck old grudges.
>>69320214
curses are for idiots and the only reason he "reversed" it is because he is hedging his bet.
Will kd get booed at every away game?
Is he going to save the NBA?
Daigneault won't play him

God damn, it's going to look like a Dragonball-Z fight if he ever plays against Steph Curry
What's the bulls roster looking like nowadays?
>>69320358
yeah, like Tien against Cell maybe
You're walking through a park and you suddenly spot Kawhi looking downtrodden while sitting on a bench. What do you do?
>>69320086
Wiggins is pretty overrated, Towns is a beast and will probably have a similar career to KG.

>Like the shit I just took in the water lol
Who would you guys rather hang out with, Deandre Jordan or KAT?
>>69320368
Their backcourt is shittier at shooting 3s than almost every teams frontcourt.
>>69320427
I'd like to play CS:GO with KAT desu
Gonna need an edit of this with Jerry West being Palpatine.
Fuck that salty ass bitch for ruining KD's legacy with his evil ass deception.

>Pat Riley texted ESPN's Dan Le Batard for a story in the Miami Herald.
>"SADDDDDDD!!!! SO saddddddd!" Riley's text to Le Batard said. "I will never forget the sixth game in Dallas in 2006. DW rebounded the ball, and threw it to the heavens and the Heat universe was perfect for that moment. Our first world championship. Our universe is not perfect today. It will be fraught with anger, judgment, blame instead of THANK YOU!!! Ten years ago. Ten years older. Ten years wiser. Ten years changed. All of us.
>"Dwyane had a choice, and he made it. He went home," Riley's text continued. "Bad, bad summer for us. But there will be another 10 years, and it will be someone or something else in 2026. Move on with no blood or tears. Just thanks. I truly loved Dwyane, but families grow, change and get on with another life. He will always be a part of us. ALWAYS! And no more bruises and enough fighting. Let's just fly above it if we can and never forget. I feel his pain and pride for what pushed him over the ledge. Been there. Forever, for always, your coach I will be. FOREVER!"

Any PC NBA 2Kers here? Is online stable? I'm thinking about buying 2k17 purely for online mode
>>69320086
Draymond is the weak link in the system, Thompson and Durant will always be tall shooters, Steph Curry will always be a shooter, Draymond has shown he can shoot 3's at times too, but his game revolves around being young and trying to bully people. So he won't have as much speed or any of that when he's older. And I bet somebody does get an injury
>>69320440
WTF
>>69320099
I bet the NBA changes the rules to make the meme ball less relevant, going to bring back handchecking or something
>>69320440
Riley thought he was some genius for getting the big 3 together when it was mostly Wade. Now he is stuck with the least of them on a max contract and no one knows if he can even play.
>>69320214
We know that's you Lil B. We don't care about you bum ass rappers

>have all-star 2-guard about to enter his prime
>add aging ball-hog diva at the same position
???
>>69320418
I meant by having the same career as KG is that he will never win shit with the twolves and get traded to a real team in his early 30s. Also check out Kodomo no Jikan.
>>69320540
Miami had a great run for while it lasted; it would end at some point, even if Wade stayed a couple of years more.
>>69320469
If Kobe resigns, goes full black mamba like OG Kobe after Shaq, he'll be a legend. The phoenix that rose from the ashes of the traitorous dragon.
>>69320554
Welcome to the Bulls the ride never ends
>>69320554
Butler is a SG-SF. He can easily move between each position with different lineup changes, without any problem.
>>69320628
rondo-wade-butler is such an incredibly bad fit, holy fuck
>>69320440
lmao wth riley
>>69320636
i know butler can play the three, i listened to the bill simmons podcast with him just yesterday too. but there's just something about having three players at positions 1-3 that need the ball in their hands. they're all wasted as spot-up shooters and can't really do that anyway either.
>>69320613
Please God let this happen, I want to see him win MVP as the primary scorer and average at least a double double almost a triple double.
>>69320554
rondo's prime has been past bud
>>69320097
Why is virtually every video source of pre 2006 or so NBA fucking garbage?
>>69320330
I love how people say Bron Bron came into the league looking like a freight train we all know and love/hate, and yet actually looked like a regular tall kid who did the occasional pushup instead of none.
>>69320613
If I was Westbrook I would get that mole removed during the offseason, like 8 years ago
>>69320613
It must happen.
>>69320682
He came into the league with strength of 26 year old. When he was actually 26 he had best player in the world strength

WE JUST CANT STOP WINNING
at least the bulls drafted paul zipser AKA the black mike dunleavy.
>>69320540
He has to be insecure about this or something, Riley repeatedly didn't give a single fuck about Wade season after season, and he just let one of the biggest Miami sports legends walk away
How are they supposed to continue on? Good luck getting free agents when you can't even pay the best player in the history of your franchise
Let us take a look at next season's Los Angeles Lakers.
Russell/Calderon/Huertas
Clarkson/Williams
Deng/Ingram/Brown
Randle/Nance/Black
Mozgov/Zubac
This team is finally going to develop AS A GROUP, which is not what a lot of teams can say, probably only the bucks and wolves. Most teams get to develop players, but we're going to develop a contender. And quickly too. Did you see the lakers practice videos? BEAST. watch out for us. We're one year away from being ELITE. Oh and guess what? we havent even hit the trade deadline yet, you just know mitch is going to make a move.
reminder that the heat's first offer to D-Wade was 1yr/10 mil
if I were him I would've left as soon as I heard that bullshit offer
Wade is a fucking NIGGER.
FUCK PLAYERS WITH NO LOYALTY.
>yfw LeBron convinced Wade to leave when on vacation together as his last revenge to riley
wat is going on? players that used to be loved are now hated!!! and now lebron is loved!! what is going on? and now everyone is scared of the lakers, bulls and knicks, but ppl are saying GSW will suck now...crazzy
>>69321061
Stop drinking Pat it's your fault hes gone
NNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i can't believe wade actually did it. I know you don't give players the Kobe contracts but it still hurts
>>69320291
i just watched the ESPN interview with him, i think actually his teammate Kay Felder is even more interesting:
>Despite using only three of his four years of college eligibility, Felder broke the Horizon League career assists mark of 699, which was originally set by Ralph Lee of Xavier in 1986.[13] Felder also set the Oakland school record for consecutive free throws made, making 46 in a row with his last miss on January 29.[14]
>During the 2016 NBA Draft Combine, the 5-foot-9-inch (1.75 m) Felder tied Pat Connaughton for the second-highest maximum vertical leap recorded in draft combine history at 44 inches (110 cm).[20] Despite his high marks in the draft combine, Felder was still projected to be a late second round draft pick, with the risk that he would perhaps not get drafted altogether. Despite these concerns, Felder was drafted 54th overall by the Atlanta Hawks in the second round. He was traded for over $2 million of cash considerations to the Cleveland Cavaliers.[21]
>n his junior year, the Detroit native was the only player in the nation to rank in the Top 5 in both scoring (24.4 ppg, 4th) and assists (9.3, 1st) and became just the fifth D-I player in the last 20 years to average over 23 points and six assists in a single season.
>" dropping 37 points and nine assists against Michigan State in an overtime loss at The Palace "
>from detroit and does that to his hometown team
this manlet might be a future GOAT, he's 2 inches taller than spud webb is but with that vertical and those stats im fucking hype
JUST LOOK AT THESE FUCKING JAMS IN THE VIDEO HOLY SHIT
http://ballislife.com/why-is-anyone-surprised-58-kay-felder-had-the-2nd-highest-vertical-leap-in-nba-combine-history/
>>69321088
I mean wasn't really revenge beyond emotions? Miami wasn't going to do any with a huge ass contract for an over the hill star? If you take heart out Of it Then it was a good bball decision
>NBA - #Suns and Leandro Barbosa reportedly agree to 2-year, $8M deal.
so is this old news? the warriors are literally getting their bench blown up...that was part of their gimmick, a good deep bench. no way in hell they're going to the finals again.
no barnes
no bogut
no barbosa
no varejao - he doesnt do shit anyways
they're done, i can see the bulls beating them
>>69321186
ginny was really cute in the later movies
>>69321041

Whenever I read the word Riley, I think of Riley Curry.
With that being said, waifu draft when?
>>69321209
But everyone is getting their blown up with this New cap. The warriors is still good to be deeper Than anyone else relatively speaking
>>69321263
never, enjoy you're warning from the mods. He who will not be named is snitching on everyone.
>>69321205
It wasn't because it has really showed, with all these players that have retired, how certain teams treat their stars.
Miami might have scared away massive free agents for quite a while with their treatment of Wade.
>>69321292
Of course you have to account for less interest in the team since you just lost your most prolific player
>>69321282
the fuck
>>69321324
lurk more
>>69320128
Manute couldn't help being over 2.3m tall, man.
>>69321209
They'll fill up their bench with has beens and the post-trade deadline waivers.
There's still Boban Marjanovic, Meyers Leonard, Mareese Speights, Ty Lawson, Lance Stephenson, Brandon Bass, Jared Sullinger, Jordan Hill, Luis Scola, Kris Humphries, Carlos Boozer, David Lee, Raymond Felton among others.
>>69321279
i dlnt think so. think about this....
they have gone 2 seasons going all the way to the finals against thought teams. especially this past season they went to 2 games sevens against the thundoras and the cabs. not easy. not only that, they're hurting their chemistry, losing bench players, and some assistant coaches. With the addition of durbeta, they're going to have to get used to each other. While the cavs are going to enter year 3 playing together....its over for the memes. oh and you forget that the thunder, spurs and everyone else will be head hunting them all next season..the meme is dead.
i miss grantland, now the whole crew is split up on like 20 different spots :(

>>69321396
only PF is goat. rest are past their prime. SF is overrated whore
>>69321396
i was gonna get mad but then i realized it was an all jew lineup
also gadot is a fucking twig so she is clearly the SF or SG, vayntrubs ass is gigantic so clearly the Barkley-esque PF/C
So Whiteside to Portland? Pull a DeAndre?
Renounce Evan Turner and sign him
>>69321435
Gal Gadot is looking better and stronger than ever before though
>>69321461
nah
he'll be the king of miami now
>>69321461
dont think he cares about championships
he just wants to stay in one place and make his money, nothing wrong with that desu
>>69321461
I fucking pray
Either way we get him or Ezeli so its not all bad
I'm really glad Danny Ainge is literally getting >us nothing this off season. Fucking thrilled.
The fact that the media defends him endlessly saying "N-Next year," Is a fucking crime.
>>69320682
He was amazing even as a rookie.

muh lakeys are going full hinkie mode, we got 2 2nd round picks, get rekt faggot
PG: Erich Von Manstein
SG: Heinz Guderian
SF: Gerd Von Rundstedt
PF: Erwin Rommel
C: Martin Bormann
Who the fuck can stop us?
Will LeBron do it again bros?
After beating the memes and repeatedly pounding the pussy that is KD. They join forces in hopes of defeating THE ONLY REAL SUPERSTAR IN THIS LEAGUE.
PLEASE PLEASE STOP THIS SHIT. TWOLVES ALSO CAN'T DEVELOP FAST ENOUGH.
>>69321550
Josh Jackson or Harry Giles for next year.
Trust in the process :^)
>>69321594
>Rommel at PF
5'6'' strategists need be PGs.
>>69321636
I dont know why the warriors thought signing KD would help them beat lebron in the finals.
KD's two main weaknesses are that hes crumbles mentally when the pressure is on late in the playoffs and that hes lebrons bitch
>>69321550

>>69321734
I do bro, been watching Lebron for almost a decade. Got to see him play in his prime with pretty good seats, no ragrets.
I can tell my invisible grandchildren all about the GOAT
IT'S TIME
The Warriors were smarter than the rest of the league. They built the team with draft picks not in the top 5, traded for a center, beat and convinced iguodala to join, Curry's ankle issues were a blessing in disguise financially,winning a ring, and having the foresight to have enough cap room to get Durant. Too bad the rest of the league sucks at evaluating talent and budgeting. Jerry West and Bob Myers are the real MVPs
I swear to fucking God, if My Career is shit in 2k17 like last year, I'm never buying EA's NBA game.

>>69322089
>Curry's ankle issues were a blessing in disguise financially,winning a ring, and having the foresight to have enough cap room to get Durant
Because a 73 win team needed another superstar. A huge part of the Celtics and Heat's big three success was the fantastic defense they brought. The GSW have one good defender and one decent defender in their starting lineup. Flush yourself.

>>69322181
It would be wonderful if the Warriors end up losing because they get exposed for having the leagues best offense and worst defense creating a +/- gap that ends up making them a 50 win team

>>69322340
Love is already pretty much spent, give Wiggins a 2 years with Lebron and he'll be beast.
But the NBA didn't want one of their future stars being a champion that early and losing future value. Cavs lost the 1st year anyway so they should have kept him and he would be up to speed by year 2

it's always kinda tricky when your two guard is also your lead guard, see also wade or harden. you need just the right complementary point guard playing off guard. desu i don't like that type of SG, i prefer them playing off the ball.

I'm glad there is one sane Boston fan out there, acquiring Horford isn't some magic missing piece for them, it would need to be Horford AND ?????? to get over the elite teams
Why, I'm beginning to think no one's actually watched Hawks games for the past 9 years! I have, and while Horford is an excellent player he isn't going to be able to single-handedly get you over the hump. Factor in how many East teams have clearly improved by their moves and it's barely a Cost of Living Adjustment

Miami fan here.
Still can't believe Wade traded a legacy for no more playoffs ever + an extra 7 mil
and then he comes out with that fake bitch ass letter like if he really dreamed of playing with the Bulls nigga you know dawn well the only reason you left is for money
Also mad a Riley for being a complete dick to Wade. But in the end #InRileyWeTrust
Wade took multiple paycuts for the Heat and was responsible for bringing them 3 championships. He was the greatest Heat ever and would've been a Heat lifer.
But even after all that, the Heat still refused to pay him what the market said he was worth
This is why team loyalty is complete and utter shit. The team will ditch you as soon as they think they can do better. Every player should just do what's best for themselves, because their teams sure as hell don't care about them
Is a crappy goatee a requirement for being a starter for the Warriors?

>tfw no athletic Australian seven foot enforcer
>tfw downgraded to athletic African seven foot enforcer
>>69325019
I still don't get it, why couldn't he get a 3 year max deal? I mean he prob would've retired at the and of that and then the Heat still could start "the process" . He would've mentored Winslow and J-Rich for 3 more years, and the franchise looks good taking care of who they said is their guy.
>>69325197
I can guard 1 to 5, a bit like Lebron James, but like him, I can only do it for a small amount of time. Granted, LBJ can do it longer than me, but I'm not asking for the max.
I'm extremely clutch. Pressure doesn't get to me. I'll hustle all the time, even during garbage minutes so that the other team doesn't have a chance of getting back in. I'm young, and so have a lot of upside. I'm also a great locker room guy.
All these reasons should give the Warriors food for thought for signing me up. I see a spot in the rotation behind Livingston that would be perfect for me desu.
>>69324976
The heat aren't going to be relevant for a long time now. You guys couldn't even get past the craptors.
>>69325283
They didn't have the fucking money. Wade probably would've taken the 40M/2 year deal had that was offered first instead of the 20M/2 year one.
>>69325328
Whiteside would've taken a paycut for Durant, I'm sure if Riley godfather'd that shit, he would've for Wade too

As a Pistons fan I am super happy about the Wade situation. Miami is a fake plastic town with no heart or soul. Wade was everything and you can see how pathetic that franchise is. Their fans are all of bunch of bandwagoning fucks.
I cannot wait till the Pistons beat the ever living hell out of them next year while there is like 40 fans in the arena.
Also congrats to the Bulls. Excited to see the rivalry rekindled. Super glad the Central Division is the one of the Best ones in the League.
>>69325419
>no heart or soul
>Detroit
Should the Lakers try to sign a big free agent, or will it be another year of tanking?
>>69325283
people mocked the lakers for overpaying the fuck out of kobe but at least they did right by him, and in return he helped them tank into the #2 overall pick while protecting them from getting blasted for overt tanking like the sixers did

Lol more like the raptors barely got passed us and we didn't even have bosh.

>>69325393
I've actually been really working on that part of my game recently, and I've got a few moves that I'd like to save for the NBA. I really think there's a career for me at the bottom of the bench, and next FA could be big for me.
>>69325449
I find it funny how people hate on Detroit and yes 5 years ago it was bad but the city is being rebuilt like crazy. There is so many investors rebuilding the city.
Plus Detroit is Heart and the Soul of the US. No town like Motown.
somebody pay me to be an NBA benchwarmer
i'll just sit my ass on the pine and get hype whenever an actual player does something

They should sign Yao Ming just for the bantz, he's only 35.
>>69325470
Lakers already got nearly an entire starting lineup from tanking. It is time to develop them now. I think they have to get the #1 pick or lose it this season anyways.
>>69325472
they were trash they weren't a contender while heat are trying ti be one is different.
>>69325760
Wade would have made more money off the contract in Miami too. Illinois has 9% income tax rate VS Miami being 0% income tax. I guess it was half basketball and half money decision. I'm glad Jimmy Butler will have some help that bro doesn't deserve to have a shit team lol. I don't buy Wade's "coming home" story though, the Bulls are just a cool team to wear a jersey for and are better than the Heat
http://forums.realgm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=1462650#start_here
Some cool insight from a bunch of Knicks' higher-ups (maybe some players). Highlights:
>Porzingis is basically barred by the team from international and summer league play, already has to be told to leave the gym
>"[Grant] was Phil's pick. Dude loves big PGs and reached. And we realized by the end of Summer League last year."
>Expect to see Rose and Jennings play together some. He's really excited to draw up sets that feature multiple dribble drives and Porzinigis diving to the rim.
>the Eric Gordon rumors were "bullshit. We already took a shot on one injured guy and Melo isn't always healthy either. Why would we add a walking injury to the mix?"
>Ron Baker will likely make the Knicks roster, "he just plays the right way all the time. All the time. It doesn't translate here (Summer League) because this is bullsh*t basketball. But this guy can play. He'll be in the league."
>>69325851
lmfao i dont buy wades coming home like i didnt by lebrons coming home.
>>69322375
Dallas built around his and dirks offensive games so he had a lot of good looks in the spots he likes there. The Pacers on the other hand ran the clogged toilet offense. Also he might have lost a step.
>>69325958
J A P A N
>>69325945
Lebron was drafted to the Cavs though and was expected since day 1 to bring a championship to his home town/area/state and would have really been a let down if he didn't do it.
In Wade's case he wasn't drafted to the Bulls, Bulls already had multiple championships anyway, so there's not really any big deal or hype about Wade "going home" I bet he hardly even goes to Chicago in his offsasons. But playing in those fresh Bulls jerseys is pretty cool. If I had to pick a team between those 2 I would pick Bulls for the swag

It's alright about 06 Pistons will beat the shit out of them this year. It will be fun to watch. Hahaha the Bad Boys and 2004 Pistons team will beat the ever living hell out of that team. No one and I mean no on the HEAT would be even able to move with the Cutthroat defense.
>>69326043
2004 pistons aint doing shit to 13 heat lmfao
>>69325786
They should sign 5 HoFs for their last 5 spots and run them out there when they are up by 30.
>>69325639
Also I respect the Bulls because they are just like Detroit hardwork and respect. I strongly dislike them but I respect them. I have no Respect for the Heat.

How High are you bro? Ben Wallace would rape Bosh so hard the Japanese raping of Chinese women would like an intimate affair. Only one I would have to worry about is LeBron and Wade.

that doesn't make any sense, they have drummond and baynes
if it's true then the spurs have no way of matching that

I kind of miss that Pistons era where they made like 5 eastern conference finals in a row after that. They were a gangsta ass team.
Mid 2000s
>Allen Iverson was still pretty good
>Detroit Gangsta Pistons
>All Texas teams were good
>Yao Ming turns Houston into Chinatown and turns China into a basketball nation
>Spurs winning championships every odd numbered year
>Lakers sucked, Kobe was good but also was getting cucked
>Lebron was still young enough to not have high expectations of winning a championship and could be neutrally enjoyed
>West had at least 8-10 teams you thought had a chance to win a championship
>Eastern conference had literally only the Pistons
>Heat win championship in 06
It was a pretty comfy time for basketball
>>69326301
$7m/yr isn't that much for a good role player ($110m cap next year remember) and they can go over the cap to sign him.
I'm a little surprised it's that low and the Nets haven't thrown a bunch of "well, why the fuck not?" money his way
>>69326213
Trust me, repeat.
Nobody can be the 2011 cuck lakers
>>69326322
New shot clock looks cool, ads kind of suck. It will be interesting to see ads everywhere but, for me it's just extra stuff, only benefits the players and league affiliates pockets and since I'm not getting any of the money ads can suck nuts
>>69326366
If Boban DOES go to DET, they'll have a very good defensive player added to that team

It was a great time. I am die hard Pistons fan. It makes me respect the team even more. It was a great era for Basketball. All these old school hating on the ERA just do not understand. Plus it was the best era for Hip Hop in my opinion. Everyone loves the 90s but for me 80s and 2000s were super versatile and you had every kind of hip hop that you wanted.

I promise I am not hating but LeBron is going to be 32. His minutes need to be limited. It is great they got Dunleavy and Jefferson.
I do not trust Lue for them to make sure they are motivated and are not hungover from the title. Irving has to carry this team through the season. Rotation players need to step up also. They can just try to coast through next year.
>>69326475
You live or die by the three but you sure as hell do not win titles with threes so the HEAT will have to try to get to the Paint.

>This guy thinks team USA only has 2 superstars
>>69326560
Yeah I mean that had to happen though. Just like I love A Tribe Called Quest I also love Lil Wayne. Lil Wayne is the Elvis Presley of Hip Hop. He was the first guy that was on everybody's song and he dominated the charts. Is he the best or greatest rapper absolutely not but he sure as hell had a great formula to be popular. He is the first Pop Rapper.
I still think Rap is great nowadays. There is so much versatility.
>>69326155
>>69326043
Lmao you actually think the 04 Pistons would beat the 13 heat ??? You're a big fan of the Pistons, I can tell by your delusion.
Back to back championships, a 27 game unbeaten streak and 4 Finals in a row disagree with you but sure, you keep living your fantasy.
I am like the Majranovic signing it is just weird because they do have Baynes unless there is going to be a trade that happens.
>>69326706

New shot clocks in every arena next year. New one on left, old on right
>>69326718
Do not get me wrong the HEAT would give the Pistons trouble on the Run. But you are forgetting how tough that defense was. They would not let up anything. They would squeeze you till the end.
Plus the EAST had no competition from 2011-2014. You had what the Pacers? Bulls? Boston? Those teams were not comparable to the Pistons team of 2004. I am not saying it would be a blow out but you have to understand how special the 2004 Pistons team was. Just like the 2011 Mavs, 2008 Celtics, 2005 Spurs.
Can't wait!
>>69326667
I'm not allowed over my friends house anymore because his 11 year old son was saying all kinds of ridiculous shit about Curry being GOAT and saying he could hit half court shots whenever he wanted in games. Said nobody has ever been as good.
I said "don't forget about Jordan" and brought up that curry had choked in the finals whereas Jordan was incredible in finals and this little motherfucker actually said ".....You mean the shoes brand? Did he even play I think he just makes shoes". I told him to shut the fuck up and learn some history before bandwagoning the current flavor of the month in the league. He ran and told his mom and she kicked/banned me from their house.

I was mostly shitposting and I'm still hurt about wade , I know Detroit would give them a hard fight that 04 team was really good and would probably beat the 13 Heat unless LeBron went God mode, the ECF against Boston and the last 2 Finals convinced me LeBron can beat anybody if he puts his mind into it, that plus Wade, Bosh and Allen is imo too much to handle for the Pistons over a 7 game series.

>>69327007
It's Pat Riley's fault. I mean it is crazy for me to think a guy like Wade gave everything to the HEAT. Every inch and every atom in his body went for the franchise. I know winning is important for Riley but come on man it's Wade.
It is crazy to read Pat never called him. But it will good for the HEAT to restart. They need to go after Westbrook. I just want the Pistons to get their vengeance haha.
The reason I am some critical over LeBron is because he can be the greatest player in the world and of all time if he puts his mind to it. He can do it. MJ knew that if he had to beat you he would have to score 40 to 60 points. He willed himself. LeBron is very emotional and I think he transcended these finals.

But he doesn't have thugs producers. There's more to hip hop than just wordplay, I will say kodak has good lyrics and better and deeper lyrics than thugger but thugs delivery voice and flow are more interesting to me. I just don't think kodak has the amount of hits that thugger already has. Young thug is in his prime currently and kodak black obviously hasn't hit his stride yet.
>>69327509
>>69327554
>>69327602
Yeah look at Rodman. He got so much pussy. He boned Madonna and Carmen Electra. He wore make up and dresses. It is shock value because society is so butthurt if a someone born with a penis wears a dress, make up, or has long colored nails. Like who gives a shit. Focus on your own life.
Plus you have to acknowledge some people do not want to identify with their assigned gender at birth. Sure there sex is male or female but gender is a choice.
Also look at men from the medieval times who wore stockings, wigs, heels, and makeup.
>>69327213
Yeah I think if Riley really wanted to he would have kept Wade, but I guess he thought it was better for the Heat to just restart already but still Wade shouldn't have left the Heat through the back door..
I really want to see LeBron's attitude towards the game now that he completed his legacy, will he have that same drive that he had these last 2 finals/playoffs?
Can he do 7 finals in a row and go 4 for 7 in that stretch? ESPN would put him in the discussion with Jordan on a weekly basis.
>>69327786
Yeah heat should go after Westbrook and I think they are locking in for next years free agency.
Yeah I think next year we will see what LeBron is made off? Will age effect him? Will Lue motivate his players? It is going to be interesting.

Wow, I respect Riley. Dude gives no fucks about anything other than rings, think about it like this, you Miami fags are probably going to get Westbrook next year because it's fucking Miami anyway.

Now that the dust has settled, anyone else think this team actually won't be that good?
>4 ball dominant players, with only 1 ball
>all meme shooters, no paint presence at all

>once again NO big men that can be relied on
>gutted their bench
I mean, it doesn't matter how many good players you have on the court, a jump shot is still just a jump shot whether it's klay thompson or kevin durant. There's only one ball.
>>69328266
Yep he's very obviously involved with the strange hollywood gay underground
>>69328381
>people unironically think he's the greatest of all time
>>69328223
Yeah they should have gone the Lakers way, overpay Wade until they tank. Then after he leaves they'll definitely attract the best FAs just like the Lakers have done.
>>69328422
I hope so but the more their lineup looks similar to last years + KD, the worse it looks. If Iguodala stays unhealthy it looks bad, they have David West too now though. They might legit be a video game team, but there could be some type of flaw in the system that makes it less efficient than we think.
LeGOAT for the repeat please basketball Gods
>>69328422
>Draymond and Klay are "ball-dominant"
>Draymond has no paint presence
These things are wrong, but I still agree with you generally. If Draymond goes down, so does this team.
>>69328422
Yeah I think they'll make it to the WCF and then choke. After that the whole team will fall apart because of free agency, Durant will decline the player option and choose a new team with Westbrook
>>69328381
Haha I loved this, I remember on comment boards how butthurt his haters were over this. Even though this applies to his fans even too I know that shit ruined their day when they watched the press conference with a smug look and got thrown a curveball

all you to do is watch >>69328381 video related, he doesn't have the head to be a winner. He said it himself, he looked up to players like Allen Iverson and Penny Hardaway, he has all the tools but he rather go down as a loved player who changed the game, but he's just a bitch no one outside of /sp/ and middle schools all over the world even likes.
It's widely known that most former NBA players don't have much respect for LeBrons head for the game, his skill and athleticism was wasted.
>>69328716

This is Tim Duncan we're talking about, nigga is probably gonna send a fax to David Stern to announce his retirement.
>>69328790
Not that anon but honestly judging a players ability by an interview is retarded as fuck, not to mention what he said was beast as fuck too. This was his first year at heat and he went to the finals, then won back to back after this year, so your argument is kinda moot
>>69328790
Tons of former NBA super stars have already come out and considered him top 5 of all time what are you even talking about, just because you think something doesn't mean that people who actually know shit think the same as you
>>69328790
Pretty sure Magic Johnson called him one of the best 5 ever to play.
>>69328824
he probably was born to be the best, too bad Dirk and Tim changed that fate

I'm glad Dirk got a ring but Lebron looked like Sonny Liston when he threw the match against Ali.
>>69328857
I'm judging him by his actions on the court when things don't go his way, his interactions with coaches and teammates, and his reactions to losing.
>lost to SA in 2014
>"2 rings definitely make this easier"
>>69328880
I only listen to Charles Barkley, and he doesn't like Brun Brun
>>69328886
Magic Johnson says shit like Kobe was the greatest Laker of all time. He probably wants to put LeBron on a pedestal because his game reminds him of his own. So if people think LeBron is great, then people will think Magic is great. Or he's just being nice, and doesn't give a fuck, because why would Magic take all time great lists seriously.
>>69328996
>interactions with coaches and teammates
Tell me more about the 2007 Lebron James's and the Cleveland YMCA, led by Mike Brown.

Your judgment is way skewed by your perception. There are tons of ways to judge lebron on and off the court and it seems like you don't really care about the positives, only the negatives.

WESTBROOK TO MIAMI WHEN?
>>69329129
I think in 2013 he got a real killer instinct, and showed signs of greatness between now and then. But, he's shown too many of signs saying the opposite before and during that. He is probably the most gifted player of all time on the same level as Shaq, but I just wouldn't take him over atleast 16 others players in the history of the NBA to start a team.
>>69329134
>almost went 2-6 if it wasn't for Memeiors and Kyrie
he choked in the last 6 minutes of the 4th quarter of game 7, besides the block.
>>69329081
Duncan was literally 38, if LeBron is so great, you'd think he could beat Kawhi and the San Antonio Senior Citizens. Especially after beating them the season before.
>>69329250
You would really pick 16 other players over lebron if you were starting a team? 16???

who cares if he gets more arbitrary stats? Only one that kind of matters is points, the rest are just things some board statician decided to keep track of a long time ago.
Like, assists? Is that even a thing? Who cares who was the last person to touch the ball before someone else scored. It takes a whole team to set up a play not just one guy. Might as well just count how many times you touch the backboard or how many seconds you hold the ball for all that matters.
>>69330520

Bogut, Barnes, Barbosa, Ezeli...They didn't really contribute much in the playoffs, but they were a big reason why GS got the 73 wins in the regular season. Those guys had good chemistry from playing with each other for so long. No way they'll make 70+ wins again this season, not with a random assortment of ring chasing vets

Wow, typical Kobe/Curry/Jordan fans. Fucking idiots
>>69331123
the edge
Iggy declining
Livingston declining
Bogut Gone, replaced with declined less good Zaza
Barbosa gone
Speiths gone
Ezili gone
They get to fill out the rest of their lineup with league minimum guys
They won't be this powerhouse team like they were this year
>>69331523
Depends on Iggy's health.
ZaZa is pretty good, I don't think he's as good as Bogut but he's a fair replacement. David West is a good addition.
Durant obviously is a good addition, between Thompson and Durant on each side of the wing that's a lot of fucking height to have to guard, Durant probably adds some speed too. The good news is that Durant is no Lebron when it comes to passing
I hope they don't work out though, at least for this season
>>69331523
it's not like any of them showed or even could show up to play.
most painful loss will be Livingston, Iggy was getting old anyhow
>>69331700
This is their best shot
The bench implodes next year as Steph and Durant have new contracts, not to mention iggy would be 34 and new contract as well as Livingston at 33
Superteam windows are short as the contracts start to get bad and the bench peices come undone
Miami is a good example of this
>>69331700
Zaza is going to give the Warriors half a season of good play then bottom out in the 2nd half
Lebron > Durant
Kyrie > Steph
JR < klay
Love > Dreymon
Tristin > some old fuck named Zaza
Honestly the reason GSW was winning the series was that bench
They are getting old and are much more thin now
>>69331981
That's probably true
>>69331917
This is true too. Plus Iggy is on his third year of long games with teams playing their best against them. Just like in Miami, after a few years of long seasons and teams all giving their best trying to beat them they were simply tired.
Lebron > Durant
Kyrie > Steph
JR < klay
Love > Dreymon
