Pretty excited about the Lakers core. Ingram, Dlo, Randle, Nance, Clarkson, and Zubac is a pretty good young core.
A lot of improving that must be done.
The team will likely hover around 30 wins next season.

The judge presiding over Draymond Green's assault case is name Richard Ball.
Confirmed going to jail.

>>69521431
How would he go to jail if the "victim" is seeking to drop any charges. Said victim is an MSU football athlete. Draymond has MSU by the balls because he is very involved with his alma mater. If anything the victim has it worse than Draymond. All it takes is one call from Tom Izzo to the football team.
Enes Kanter is officially the most SAVAGE NBA player on twitter.
If he had a Instagram he'd be more savage than no.chill.gil
>>69521631
Had Horford came to OKC and Durant stayed, his ass would've been traded to free up space.
>>69521623
I just looked it up and there are no legit sources of this.
>>69521655
If if if'd if then if would if if.
Horford was never coming because KD refused to make a decision before him and commit to OKC because he's been planning this with Draymond all year including during the WCF.
>>69521685
The football player's name is Jermaine Edmondson.
Just google his name an d you'll find articles about the incident and how likely he'll be dropping charges.The bail was $200 and the no one was hurt, the police aren't gonna do shit about it.

no.chill.gilWith so much evil and chaos going on in this world,ask yourself (if I died today DID I DIE HAPPY) I'm known to many as a immature person #PettyKing..God blessed me with a mindset to channel pain with laughter....if your not pursuing happiness WHAT ARE U ACTUALLY DOING with your life? When your happy you put yourself in better positions to be successful in all aspects of life....living life with #hate and #bitterness is like being a horse in a horse race with blinders on (YOU CANT SEE ANYTHING around u but the little narrow space u forced yourself to see) happiness is a journey but remember 1 happy day turns into a happy week,that will turn into a happy month.....surround yourself with happy people, study happiness and watch how successful you will start becoming...with all this hate being aired on TV some how find something funny and get a few giggles out of it, stay on the path of success BECAUSE the only TRUE divider in the country is #HAPPINESS VS #HATERED it's not color (that's fools gold) #blacklivesmatter #whitelivesmatter #alllivesmatter IT should be #HappinessMatter happiness doesn't see color, a urge to take a life THIS is the only true fight #Love VS #hate....all you protesters out there...... If they have #GUNS then show up with #FLOWERS and just give a officer something from the heart.....even if he rejects it,his fellow officers seen the love you had to offer....Officers if you see a angry protester with rage and hurt in his or her heart,lower the gun and just walk over and give him or her a hug..remember you can't change them all but a few a day makes for a better world.......#PettyKingOUT
I can't believe Gilbert Arenas is the only person I've seen put this the best way. Everyone is just posting Nation of Islam and BLM rhetoric but he's actually being real.
>>69521841
Do you even know who Tony Garcia is? He's been covering MSU football and basketball for years. He is a very reliable source. Of course until the police release a statement or either party says anything, it is all hearsay.
>>69521969

#shotsfired
Harden mad that KD didn't go to the Rockets? Or that he bailed from OKC like a bitch?
A lot of Japanese people like Tim Duncan apparently so here's some fan art for his retirment.

>>69522227

Looking back on this image it's now pretty damn ominous.

>LeBron is now the Hero and KD the villain after it was the opposite in 2012
>Only King James can save us from the four horsemen and bring us to the promised da land
>>69521631
RIP Timmy you just got slayed.
>>69522317
Honestly I've never liked KD and have always been critical of his game, the guy is a pure scorer and doesn't facilitate the ball, how can he be the leader of the team when he doesn't lead them on and off the court? Westbrook has always been the natural leader of the team and is the most dedicated to winning, even when he tore his ACL and dented his face he still wanted to play.
>>69522540
I think everyone pretty much wanted him to be something like Tim Duncan or Dirk but KD never had the mentality to be like them.
His ego and insecurity was too much. You can't be attacking the media over petty stuff, checking twitter after each game to see what people are saying about you, and being buddy buddy with your enemies like Draymond during the WCF and your teammates are getting kicked in the nuts by him.
I can understand why the relationship was straining behind the scenes but KD is completely in the wrong here. He doesn't have the winning mentality of Kobe, LeBron, MJ. He's mentally weak and is best as a role player and will never be a good leader like Timmy or even Bird.
>>69522573
You know what, that actually makes sense. KD is a glorified role player. OKC was set up to fail from the beginning building the team around him and not Westbrook.
>>69522602
He's not a LeBron type of guy, looking to help his teammates and move the ball. I think it's hilarious he wanted a high tempo offense with high amounts of ball movement yet he's one of the worst players in assists and ball movement.
The majority of his game is catch and shoot and isoball. And he choked away the last three games with isoball on 1 out of 7 shooting in the 4th quarter.
>>69522648
KD is pretty delusional desu, his press conference with the Warriors was filled with contradictions and wishful thinking not based on actual reality.
>>69522672
He's extremely naive, impulsive, selfish, oblivious, yet concerned what people think about him at the same time.
He'll probably come to regret this like Shaq did leaving Penny.
>>69519987
I love you Hinkie
>>69522672
>>69522648
I've always hated OKC pretty much because I think when things get close, they stop passing and run iso plays.
I know I'm wrong but I've never thought KD was as good as all the hype around him by everyone for all the reasons everyone has here listed.
when I saw the interview with Michael how he was saying "While we argue who is better between lebron and kobe durant is sneaking in the back door" I thought it was a stupid comparison to make because I see Durant the same as I've always seen my favourite player, Melo. A great scorer that sucks when there's too much defense on them. Both would benefit greatly from not trying to be an alpha dog and instead accept being a second option.
I think that was the problem with OKC, Russel should have been first option and KD second, because most possessions I watched for the thunder, when WB had the ball it was always a good thing for Durant, but when Durant had the ball usually he'd turn it over.
Not saying WB doesn't make stupid decisions with random shots half the time, just saying it always seemed to end up better for Durant having WB set him up than setting himself up.
Just thoughts though, feel free to disagree.
Windhorst the fat faggot dropped a bomb some days ago on the truehoops podcast and no one talked about it.
Here's a transcript of him talking about the Harden trade situation and why it's not OKC's fault they got rid of him, it was the NBA fucking them over.
I can't believe no one talks about this.
>Ethan Strauss asks the guys if the Harden trade “lit the fuse” for Kevin Durant’s decision to join Golden State and ultimately ruin OKC's roster. Windhorst says he thinks the Thunder losing a 3-1 lead in the WCF was the key factor. Someone else (Tom Haberstroh?) tries to clarify Ethan’s point by asking would the Thunder have lost that lead with Harden on the team? This sparks Windhorst to get something off his chest…
>Brian Windhorst:
>“So here’s the thing guys, I have to step in here, you cannot look at that trade and say either/or. The Thunder were the product of their own misjudgments but they were the product of some terrible misfortune along the way. And one of the misfortunes was in 2011 a new CBA came in with extremely penal luxury tax penalties and as part of that CBA, without Durant even asking for it, [the league] grandfathered his contract in to giving him the ‘Rose provision’. When the CBA opened (the next year) it was like “by the way, you now have a luxury tax that’s twice or three times as penal as it was before, when you were planning your team. Oh and by the way, we decided we’re giving Kevin Durant three more million dollars over every year of his contract” and the Thunder we’re like “umm…WHAT?!” And it was such a bad deal for the Thunder that the league later refunded them the money but it was too late because they had to make the decision on Harden. Now if you wanna retort and say…
Someone else on the panel interrupts with a big “wait, whaaat?” because, like me, they can’t believe this shit either
>>69522824
>“…So as you know, there’s this thing called the ‘Rose provision’. It was called the ‘Rose provision’ but it might as well have been called the ‘Durant provision’ because he was the first person to actually get it. (It allows a player) to get extra money if you made two all NBA teams or were voted into two all-star games. Durant had signed his extension before the CBA and it was kicking in as soon as the new CBA came in. He didn’t have the opportunity to get the ‘Rose provision’ (in this contract because it didn’t exist when he was negotiating his contract). And somewhere in the lawyering…
>Amin Elhassan jumps in to mention that the Rose Provision is negotiable between the player and the team from 25%-30% of the cap. However, in Durant’s case the league gave him the full 30% retrospectively without negotiation.
>BW (cont.)
>“They just gave it to him and it was a crazy decision and pardon my podcast French but they absolutely screwed the Thunder on it. Now, you’re gonna say “what are you complaining about? So what you have to give KD more money” but it screwed the Thunder’s planning. All of a sudden it meant that they had to account for three million dollars more per year for the next five years when they had to try and decide on Harden. And you may say to them “well you’re still an idiot because you should still pay Harden and pay the luxury tax. What’s your freaking problem, Thunder?” and the answer is they were horribly afraid of the repeater tax which they’d be in right now if they had signed Harden. So yes, if you want to frame the decision that they screwed up with Harden – yeah - but they got a terrible piece of misfortune there.”
And in case anyone wants to ask “well, why not still blame the Thunder’s cheap owners for not paying the repeater tax?”...
>>69522839
>BW (from a little later in the pod):
>“All I’m saying is, the thunder’s point of view of it is, that we’re now in year 6 of the CBA and the Thunder would have been a tax payer for 5 of those 6 years had they done the Harden deal and therefore they would not be in a position to do anything. As you know, the repeater tax even scared away Prokhorov. He fled on the repeater tax. The Miami heat fled on the repeater tax. [The league] has been trying to figure out ways to create a hard cap – well you’ve finally found it. >Everybody’s afraid of that repeater tax, even guys like Micky Arison who are worth like 8/10 billion and Prokhorov, one of the richest people in the world, are afraid of the repeater tax. And that’s what OKC was afraid of and that’s what was put on their plate (by the league). They knew that because they had Durant and Westbrook and if they added Harden they’d be deep in the repeater tax by now and they still couldn’t afford them.”
tl;dr
The NBA fucked over the Thunder with horrible management and execution of the new CBA of 2011, forcing the Thunder to trade Harden when they were supposed to be able to keep him. As they originally planned.
If the CBA was effectively executed and the "rose provision" was negotiated to less than 30% of the salary cap, OKC would've been able to keep Harden AND Ibaka along with KD and Westbrook.
>>69522783
Well it makes sense. There's a reason Westbrook is the PG and not KD.
KD running up the ball and playing as the PG is always guaranteed to either be him trying to score or pass the ball back to Russ to reset the play. Almost never to actually run a play by the coach or get the ball moving.
>>69522824
>>69522839
>>69522889
How is this not major news???
This should've been the headline on ESPN in the 2012 off season.
This is the NBA directly fucking over a team and ruining their future.
The league would've vetoed the trade and fix this problem if there was media exposure.

>>69523081
Retard, you didn't even read it. Literally just read the last part of it, it's as close to a death sentence as possible, even billionaires can't afford the repeat tax because it was designed to keep people from going over the luxury line for multiple years. If OKC wanted harden they would've needed to pay the luxury tax for 5 years and that's with it constantly increasing as a penalty PLUS the salary cap spike from the TV deal killing them. No one is rich enough to pay it you retard.
>>69523093
Literally every celebrity has been all BLM and ANY use of ALM has been nothing but criticism and media persecution. A social death sentence.

Hey guys.
Remember when the Clipper's pitch to Kevin Durant was to take a massive paycut so he could play on a team of perennial chokers and get screwed by even more injuries just after he came off a bad injury run with OKC? Remember when the other option was to literally gut their roster of everyone but their top 4 players just after OKC had problems with a shallow bench and no rotation pre Ibaka trade?
Remember when their bitch of a owner literally cried over it?
Hahahaha, what a bunch of idiots.

>Tuesday, we brought you a 2007 confidentiality agreement between then-rookie J.J. Redick and model ex-girlfriend Vanessa Lopez, a bizarre contract that stipulated Redick would have to fake his relationship with Lopez in exchange for her getting an abortion. Today we've obtained more emails and documents showing the behind-the-scenes negotiations—abortion contracts don't just happen, after all.
http://deadspin.com/how-j-j-redicks-abortion-contract-was-conceived-912727291
>>69524065
>Redick and Lopez dated briefly in 2007, and Lopez became pregnant sometime in May. By September, they were discussing a deal. The contract, as it was eventually signed, held both Redick and Lopez to strict confidentiality about the paternity, and even about the fact that there had been a pregnancy in the first place.
>(Redick's partial denial yesterday only claimed that Lopez "has never been pregnant with a child fathered by me" and "has never terminated a pregnancy of a child fathered by me.")
>In exchange for proof that she had gotten an abortion, Redick would have to "maintain a social and/or dating relationship" for one year. Otherwise, Redick would pay Lopez $25,000.
>>69524065

I know why KD left.
Westbrook was taking his shine and becoming the leader of the team while he was becoming the second fiddle.
Remember that Westbrook made the all NBA first team this year while KD was second team all NBA. KD is confirmed for having a small man complex and can't stand being second best.
>>69524579
If only he'd stay because if he embraced that second option to WB I think the thunder would have won desu.
>>69524579
>can't stand being second
>decide to be fourth
KD impulsive as fuck
>>69524579
Oh shit, I forgot about that. KD must have been pissed when he was universally shattered on by critics as the third best forward in the NBA. I still can't believe how many people overrated Kawhi and he was second in MVP voting.
>>69522200

>p-put paul george on the spurs what happens
KD will never get a finals MVP either
>>69524597
They were, that offense there were running after Westbrook admitted he took to many shots was crazy. Westbrook assisted the shit out of the playoffs and almost doubled the bench player's stats. Adams was putting up near double doubles and Kanter was destroying niggas in the Spurs series. That death lineup killer they ran against Golden State in those first two games in OKC were astronomical. Draymond Green was getting absolutely destroyed, -71 plus minus. Everything was going perfectly.
If they ran that during the regular season they would be 60+ wins guaranteed.
>>69524721
could westbrook do that for a full season? genuine question, not trying to antagonize
>>69524721
everything really was going perfectly until Durant and Westbrook decided they were going to close it out themselves
>>69524721
Won the title I mean.
They resorted to Durant Hero ball as they sometimes do and I feel like it cost them a finals.
To be fair WB deserves blame too cause he tried heroballing also, but Durant is not innocent, he was the worst of the pair for it.
>>69524757
durant seemed like he was heroballing the way he felt other people wanted him to heroball. real half-hearted stuff, dumb dumb plays just to say "look I'm trying!"
>>69524757
Neither played particularly great the last 3 games but westbrook turning the ball over 5 times in 3 minutes and missing all his shots while they were ahead by 10 points will always be worse than Durant missing shots
>>69524791
Is that what it looked like to you? Cause it looked to me like he'd constantly dribble up the floor, or dribble at the 3pt line and try to do cool shit, miss, then look at his teammates as if it was their fault for not giving him more openings.
Or making bad passes when he gets doubled that lead to turnovers and saying "maybe I need to shoot over them next time" when asked about sloppy play.
An offensive superstar like Durant shouldn't be bitching about this sort of thing, he's meant to be a superstar, it's the label h e was given and it's the thing he uses to market himself.
"I'm not an $88 player".
He complains about the problems superstars have but he can't find elements to combat it like every other superstar in existence has had to do.
>>69524957
yeah, I didn't articulate what I saw well enough. I'm 100% with you, all of that goes with what I was saying
>I'm not an 88 dollar player
fucking twat, the KD IV (90 dollars) was a lot better than the KD VII (120 or 150, don't remember it was horrible)
>Gms believe westbrook could be traded to the Celtics before the next season
That would be really crazy

OH SHIT
IT'S FUCKING HAPPENING
if Westbrook finally improves his 3 PT efficiency could the Thunder be a darkhorse contender?
I mean, they nearly knocked off the Warriors with Durant playing like shit in the entire playoffs. It's easier to get one guy to stop heroballing than it is to get two guys to stop heroballing, and the Thunder have plenty of talent.

I've been waiting since he came into the league for westbrook to be a better 3 point shooter. If Westbrook could shoot he'd be the best player in the league, easily. But I don't think he'll get much better at it.

I'm still not in favor of a hard cap, just make the luxury tax more insanely punitive the higher you go. When you start making teams pay $12 for every $1 in salary, they will decide it isn't feasible.

All Time NBA defense team:
PG: Payton
SG: Jordan
SF: Pippen
PF: Duncan
C: Russell
6: Bobby Jones
Possibly switch Jones and Pippen
7th man would be Ben Wallace
>>69526103
>Rival GMs
>>69526298
>SG: Jordan
'no'
>PF: Duncan
he is really good but purely for defense you have to go with Rodman. Duncan was the better player but Rodman was the better defender.
>C: Russell
he was very good but he played in a time where defense was much easier. You have to put Olajuwon here.
If celtics actually land westgod and griffin are they the favorites to win?
>>69526371
No, fuck off faggot.

>>69526396
Klay Thompson is a better defender right now than Jordan ever was.
shit trade desu
>>69526407
LeBron James, that's why. The cavs are stacked, plus Griffin doesn't space the floor enough and Westbrook needs the floor to be open to be a maximum threat on offense. Also it's just a pipe dream that will never happen, there's a better chance of Westbrook staying and Blake going home to OKC than both going to the Celtics.

>Knicks sign Maurice Ndour, reportedly to two-year guaranteed deal
For those who don't remember, he beasted in last year's Summer League and had a fair number of teams fighting over him, then got injured in preseason. Quick, high energy tweener with surprisingly good fakes and footwork.

KD wanted to have all the attention and praise as a leader without having to deal with the criticism that comes with it. I mean all of OKC's shortcomings where usually aimed at Westbrook alone for the longest time. Looking back, it's kind of a dick move by Durant to let that happen. He cares way too fucking much about what people think about him. Lebron probably gets twice as much hate on his instagram/facebook/twitter, the only difference is that he doesn't let it affect him

Hilarious.
2nd best selling jersey on his team

Then teaming up with the team led by the 3 faggots who beat him only to lose in equally historical fashion in the finals.
The Warriors aren't mentally tough. They aren't the team to beat next year. Cap this.

Literally one paper and the dude apologized afterwords after the article came out. Although he's definitely weak to let something that little affect him.
What is he planning?
>>69527052
Let me tell you how much the Cockshits fucking suck.
First off, their GM is a fat fucking autistic hack. And not even the flattering for of autistic like Rain Man. At least served a purpose and could count fucking toothpicks and win his brother money by counting cards. THIS GUY IS MAKING DECISONS AND ROCKETS FANS DEFEND HIS IGNORANCE AND STUPIDITY.
Second off, Houston has built a "core" for their team, aka James Harden and Dwight Howard. This "core" is probably the worst in the league, not even kidding. Yeah, Howard was good, what, five years ago? And Harden literally makes 100% of his points from the stripe. YEAH FAGGOT TILT YOUR HEAD BACK AND GET THE CALL YOU LITTLE BITCH.
Third, their supporting cast is fucking atrocious. It all started when (see second paragraph) decided to let their best player go, and replace said handsome man with fucking TREVOR ARIZA. Yeah, remember him? Neither do I.
Fourth, the head fucking coach. Kevin Mchale just might be medically retarded. He walks like a retard, so maybe his mental capacity shares the same trait.
And lastly, Houston itself. Houston is full of minorities and fucking smells. Nice "major city" you got there, while I'm breathing in fucking 100% carbon dioxide.
Fuck this team, fuck the fans, fuck the "fans" on this board, I hope all of you rot in hell.

if you're a good enough ball handler to take the thought of the press out of the opponent's toolbag, then odds are you are a PG.
they are almost always the most important position on the floor unless your team has a playmaker at another position i.e. LeBron, Draymond, Griffin
>>69527439
Obviously, I mean, who takes Dion Waiters seriously? I mean really?
>>69527375
looks like he got a skin graft
So we're all in agreement this is the greatest duo ever to not win a ring together right?
Stockton and Malone weren't as offensively gifted as these two.
>>69527672
as soon as they lost Harden I knew from that moment on they would never reach the Finals ever again
>>69527672
Kwame Brown and Kobe hold that title.
>>69527715
But Harden is a overrated no D chucker.
>>69527715
OKC already had problems with defense, Harden wouldn't help.

>>69527838
Guys, OKC leaked that story to give Presti some leverage in trade negotiations. If it's a given W'brook's leaving, Ainge and others will offer nothing but jew deals. I'm sure most GM's see through this charade though. The only reason this Boston/OKC shit is dragging on is because Presti's probably asking for IT, Crowder, and 2 Nets firsts. Ainge is probably countering with IT, Smart, and a Celtics second. Deal's not getting done without one of the Nets firsts, and if I'm Presti i'm insisting it's the 2017.
>...on inbounds situations, any defensive foul that occurs before the inbounder releases the ball will be whistled in "the same fashion as an away-from-the-play foul committed during the last two minutes of any period (i.e., one free throw and possession of the ball)."
>Flagrant foul rules will also be used to protect players from any "dangerous or excessively hard deliberate fouls," including if a player tries to deliberately foul an opponent by leaping on an opponent's back. Before these types of fouls were subject to flagrant fouls but not automatic.

>>69528681
Real talk I just don't understand why he would leave.
I said this about durant the other day but I'll say it again. OKC even without durant is still a great team, and really only one player away from competiting as it is. If I was WB why would I ever leave that situation?
With Durcan't leaving especially, he'll be the hero of OKC if he stays. People will love him like a legend, and perhaps more important than anything, He will be able to sign that extra year on his contract which will undoubtedly be for the max.
If he cares about winning, unless he forms a superteam where else is he going to go? No other team that already has a superstar would let russ play the way he does, and that's what makes Russ so good playing in his insane way.
He's got a new promising backcourt partner in oladipo, they've still got a great young tandem of big men. Their backups are solid.
I dunno, I don't understand why he'd want to leave and go to Lakers other than "muh historic lakers"
Is he really going to leave OKC to play for a shitty team like the Lakers? A contender that won't let him dominate the ball the way he does like the Spurs/Clops? Or is he more likely to stay in a place with the max money 5 years with an already contender status.
I dunno why the fuck anyone would leave but maybe he does just hate Oklahoma who fuckin knows.
It's not like loyalty to the thunder will burn him cash wise, he's getting the max even if he tears his ACL this season.
