Memes aside that would actually make the Spurs contenders

The next chapter

Celtics are getting Paul George announced by midnight, screencap this

It means Paul George to the Celtics.

Lakers are getting Kawhi Leonard tonight

Cousins changed his jersey number to #0

Lebron will have melo playing at a high level.


People don't understand that Melo has had jack shit of a supporting cast all these years.

He's also an underrated passer and rebounder.

He's coming home

FUck you and peopl who believe the damn Carmelo hype bullshit. HE is a good player but that is all he will ever be. Cant wait till that nigga retires so people can finally shut the fuck up about him and we dont need to be hearing more of this delusional nonsense from causel retards.

the last time NY won a championship was in 73, just remember that. You and the rest of the NY faggots can stop trying to talk basketball now cause you aint SHIT

I think we all saw it coming t b h

oops

upvoted for visibility

Magic will be worse for the Lakers than Phil Jackson is for the Knicks

What a fucking retarded move.

It's happening

He's coming home

he's already embraced the tank lol, he's doing exactly what we need him to

>tfw magic and bird will both be presidents of dumpster fire teams

>Leaveland nigger think he's hot shit because the calfs won a championship for a city that has won literally nothing in over 100 years

but bird did it intentionally to give the Celtics PG

>embracing the tank
>trying to get Paul George

>tfw Danny Ainge was the basketball master after all

perturbed.

Not a chance of keeping crowder in those deals. If they somehow manage to keep crowder at all it'll be the most impressive feat of GMing Ainge has ever done.

Oh also drummond/horford is a shit ass front line and will be exposed by good small ball.

>Coach Mike D'Antoni called Lou Williams the seventh man in the rotation.

>He also said Williams should be helping Eric Gordon, which suggests Lou will be passing more than he did in Los Angeles. Williams was carrying the Lakers' second unit with a 30.0 usage rate and also in the top 25 for unassisted baskets among the 170 players with at least 30 games and 24 minutes per outing. Williams is also a good catch-and-shoot guy at 39.6 percent on treys, so basically he can get his own shot and create his own. Plus, he's just behind fifth-ranked DeMarcus Cousins for fifth in free throws per 36 minutes to also be a great fit there. Williams' fantasy value will be taking a hit here, but he could still have some late-round appeal.

someone give me the bogpill

All indicators out of LA are that they - meaning magic - took the rockets deal because they liked Corey Brewer. The Wizards shipping out Nicholson and a first rounder for a worse player seems to confirm that.

Jesus christ, the Lakers might actually be fucked. Only reason not to take the better pick (washington's in this case) is because you like the stuff that comes with it (Corey Brewer).

>Coach Mike Malone said Jameer Nelson will be the starting point guard going forward.

JUST

>Jrue Holiday said he's going to give the ball to DeMarcus Cousins and just "let him go to work."

>"Pairing him with AD should be really fun to watch," Holiday said. "It’s endless opportunity and possibility. I’m just excited to see what goes on tomorrow." While Holiday should get easier shots, he's almost certainly going to see both his scoring and assists drop. Cousins was flourishing as a passer this month with 7.6 assists per game with the Kings, and he's also unassisted 48.9 percent of the time this season. Holiday was red hot before the break, but his owners should expect him to be more of a mid-round guy now.

Who do you think of when you hear of "basketball intelligence"?

Paul George WILL be traded

>Rockets refuse to trade Patrick Beverley for Iman Shumpert

>Talks "have stalled out" between the Cavs and Jazz on a deal involving Shelvin Mack and Jordan McRae, according to Chris Haynes of ESPN.com.

low intelligence but can play ball well

James Harden

>There is "very little interest" on Tyson Chandler at the deadline, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical.

making photoshop tutorials

Brandon Ingram, Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, etc

>The Magic tried to be cool and go bigger while the rest of the NBA went smaller, but it clearly didn't work and they had to sell Serge Ibaka at a discount. Now, they have to hit the reset button and may look to sell off some players. Besides guys like Jeff Green and D.J. Augustin, we haven't seen too many rumored names on the block. Still, this team could make some surprising moves.

>One example of so-called “foul play” is rather humorous and well-known among league circles. Years ago, an executive believed that he had the necessary pieces to acquire Amar’e Stoudemire from the Phoenix Suns. He wanted to trade for Stoudemire and then flip him to another team because he felt he could get more in return for Stoudemire than Phoenix could. He started calling teams to ask what they’d be willing to trade him if he could get Stoudemire. Well, he accidentally called the Suns and asked what they’d be willing to give up if he could acquire Stoudemire… from the Suns. He offered Phoenix their own player. Needless to say, that executive did not acquire Stoudemire.

god please no

we have enough trouble with Randle defending people and at least he can rebound with his dinosaur arms, Jah can't even do that

He's still good, but his contract is way too long. Any year now, and his age will catch up.

Tyson Chandler is literally a dinosaur

>hit the reset button when you are already a super young team
>the shanty town of Orlando

>Darren Collison said general manager Vlade Divac told him he doesn't plan to trade him at the deadline

>The Raptors are still in the market for a big small forward or a shooter, according to Josh Lewenberg of TSN.

>This has been pretty clear since the Serge Ibaka deal with the Raptors going for it. Sure, Norman Powell is capable of absorbing a good chunk of former Raptor Terrence Ross' minutes, but adding depth behind the oft-injured DeMarre Carroll makes sense. The Raptors have some serious depth at the point and also could use Sullinger's expiring deal to help get something done. Delon Wright looked great in his last week of action.

>mfw the hotline is blinging right now

have y'all copped a pair of Hardens yet?

>The Pistons have been "open" to possibly trading Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, according to Adrian Wojnarowski of The Vertical.

>Woj did add he doesn't think this will happen. He also said the Pistons "love" him and do want to try to sign him as a restricted free agent this summer, but the team likely doesn't want to pay him close to max money. With teams like the Nets having a lot of cap space, Caldwell-Pope could get a monster deal a la Allen Crabbe. For now, it would be a surprise to see KCP be traded.

Fuck off shill

>>The Raptors are still in the market for a big small forward or a shooter
So is the rest of the league lmao

>76ers head coach said he'd like to see Ben Simmons take the court this season.

>Simmons was limited to individual work during Wednesday's practice, and he's scheduled to have another CT scan on Thursday. While Brown would like to see what he's got in the No. 1 overall pick, the 76ers are running out of time, and considering he's yet to go through any 5-on-5 work we can go ahead and assume he'll miss both games this weekend. The talent is there, but at this point, Simmons just isn't a great standard league stash.

The process may come earlier that expected...

Shumpert's overpaid and way less versatile.

RIP

>Teams around the league have reportedly been re-engaging with the 76ers on a Nerlens Noel trade.

>Adrian Wojnarowski reports that if the 76ers are unable to find a trade partner for Jahlil Okafor they will shift their focus to sending away Noel, but the biggest stumbling block here for a Noel deal is that he's about to be a restricted free agent. Teams reportedly want to know what it will cost to retain Noel as a free agent, and with Woj reporting that Noel is seeking a "big number," that may be enough to scare some teams away who don't have the cap room to re-sign him this offseason.

Shump guards Point to SF, you're fucking retarded.

ive got his shoes that he made with nike right before he bounced. some of the most comfortable basketball shoes ive ever owned.

Kill yourself

>Shump guards Point to SF
At an average level, while being able to do nothing else but occasionally get hot from three. Stop living in 2012 lol

>shill

I voted for Trump, not Hillary

If you watch that interview with Jeanie on Spectrum with Magic. he is going to move Deng/Mozgov, it's just a question of when. He talked about seeing if Zubac can handle 30+ minutes at center, meaning Black would probably take the other 18. Maybe Black starts and Zubac finishes.

So Mozgov is done in LA. Maybe they buy him out? I'm looking at this NBA Salary Cap FAQ, looks like since it's past January 10th, his salary is guaranteed for this year but I don't know if anyone picks him off waivers.

Versatility is the keyword you damage controlling retard.

>being this autistic

Fucking end yourself.

>Cameron Payne broke his foot and waltzed back in the lineup two months into the season.
>He even went so far as to play on that broken foot throughout summer league.

>Meanwhile, one of the most overhyped rookies can't even get back three games after the all-star break.

Bitch-made right there. Cameron Payne ain't even good but he's on the floor.

Will NBA ever forgive themselves after Paul George and Andre Drummond win a championship in Boston

...

porgie slick af

Who is NBA?

It was autocorrect, of course I mean you cucks

I don't speak retard. What does this mean?

Lol there's a lot more to basketball than playing league average defense at three positions, and only against certain matchups. He's an unmitigated disaster on offense if he does anything with a basketball other than immediately shoot it, and unless he's on a hot streak that's a bad outcome too. Beverley is significantly more versatile by virtue of actually being a plus defender, alongside his ability to shoot, finish at the rim, and distribute.

>literally resorting to playground insults to disguise the fact that you don't know enough to discuss basketball

So who is the pressure on?

Any time facing brandon Ingram

>Kings reportedly wanted Ingram, Randle, Clarkson & 1st round (top 3 overall pick) this year for year and a half rental of Boogie Cousins

Apologize to Mitch, he laughed at that offer and hanged up the phone like he should have.

Porgiezingis basically 'mirin on some chick, she's 'mirin back

Go to bed, user.

I wish my team (the Warriors) had brandon ingrsm

He's on the Lelkers, so I don't think any team has much to worry about facing him.

Brandon Ingram's IQ can allow the Lakers to beat anyone bruh
