I'm still not entirely sure what Phil intended to accomplish with the talk about Porzingis getting traded. If he never intended to do it, why talk about it at all?

To hype him up you fool, lmao plebs in this thread...

Lakers playoffs 2018 yezzur

WHERE MUH LAKERS BROS AT!

>not sure
me either any of these seem plausible
phil is senile
phil hates dolan
phil is out for petty revenge on KP for skipping exit interview

Zaza is going to fracture Lonzo's skull at the Staples Center just for fun.
That hit on Westbrook will seem like nothing in comparison.

>get offered all sorts of players from other teams
>now you know their weaknesses

4D chess

It's not really a bad idea for shitty teams to gauge how valuable their players are to the rest of the league

what went wrong

tim duncan got carried his whole career and never got exposed.

80% of the time a player carried the spuds, it was timmy

>i-i-im going to *sniff* g-get him back *sniff* *sniff*, s-straight up

Did you guys read my four post essay? Thoughts on my lakeys?

he scored like 30 pts in the first half against the heat in the le ray allen game. moron

to remind Porzingis of his place. to show him that the knicks are the shittiest team and that no one would want to trade for him so he had better get his act together.

Multiple injuries, playing through those injuries, team was old, and Howard got caught in the cancerous pit of the LA media in the worst ways possible.

Should've just went somewhere else.

low quality bait

go to sleep spudoras, you're not getting cp3 and your title window is officially closed, might as well start your process now.
See you in 7 years

Theres still hope Celties bros, our offseason may not be a complete disaster after all

I'm looking at the averages for the 2008 Finals and Boston won with only 4 players making 3s. Was the memechuck era a mistake?

We're getting PG13 and Hayward bruh, Danny is a master at finessing the cap.

Timmy is so subtlety smug but when he is, it's the best.

our title window is always open

the 2003 & 2009 drafts were a msitake

the 2008 Celtics are a magical team, they're a mix of old school ball with new school ball, they could play with anybody.

they would get blown out by this year's meme state just like any other team in history

Say hello to the new sixers

Shut the fuck up you reddit faggot.

We drafted the player we wanted most in the draft and got 2 1st round picks for doing that.

Just shut the fuck up.

Shut up. You child.

No.

KG getting into all their heads would end the series early, if you weren't a gangster ass hood nigga then you couldn't stand a chance against the Celtics.

It'd be a more interesting finals for sure. Rondo guarding Curry. KG cucking Draymond. I would love to watch the 08 Celtics vs the Warriors.

Popovich is in your head silly boy

Darymond v KG would be this chimpest matchup in all of sports

So what happens with the Spurs and Aldridge? Can he really still play with a team that he basically blamed for not using him right and holding him back, or will he eventually get traded?

>magic
>rockets
>hawks
I don't think so

If they get an offer he's gone. If they don't, Pop will make him play out the last year of his deal and scheme him differently just to prove a point.

>not

>everyone else

>rockets ever being our guys

on what fucking planet?

The Celtics shouldn't throw everything at Indiana for George.

YOUNG CORE POWER RANKINGS
post draft version

1. Fultz/Luwawu/Simmons/Saric/Embiid

2. Brogdon/Giannis/Parker/Thong

3. Harris/Murray/Lyles/Gomez/Jokic

4. Fox/Hield/Skal/WCS

5. Ball/Ingram/Nance/Randle/Zubac

6. Rozier/Smart/Brown/Tatum

Why do all trades have to be right now? Why not near the deadline? Just ask DeMarcus Cousins.

>the best core in the nba is a guy who couldn't get double digit wins in college, a literally who Frenchie, a guy who has yet to play in an NBA game, a white boy, and a guy made of glass

What's Golden States record again?

who still up? can't sleep bros. I just got back from the bars and did some coke. might take a xanny to mellow me out

sup, while you snortin, lakers are winning

16RB

Nigga I'm from Huntington Beach, I know

Luwawu had regular 20+ point games late in the season, and he was their 4th best under-24 guy.
Fultz and Simmons are both better than him.

Who's better than them?

The Bucks because they actually won games

Actually its boston by that logic. Basketball is a team sport though

Jabari didn't win anything because he's dead, Giannis is the only star on that team. Brogdon and thon are roleplayers

They contributed to their team winning, that's much better than watching Embiid play 10 games a season and playing hypotheticals that the 6ers will be the Warriors in 5 years.

Above the Kings below the Nugs:

Ulis/Booker/Jackson/Chriss/Bender

oh.

By that logic it's the Zach LaVine wolves because their young players play 40 mins every game.
Face it, the sixers were one of the best defensive teams with Embiid on the floor, Saric and Luwawu were top rookies, and I added top 5 prospects for other teams so why wouldn't I add Fultz and Simmons?

>Face it, the sixers were one of the best defensive teams with Embiid on the floor

Speaking of Wolves, I'd take their core over the 6ers too. KAT shits all over Embiid

2 players isn't a core. They folded on their future.

>Face it, the sixers were one of the best defensive teams with Embiid on the floor

lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

bruh I know you're a 6ers fan, but how fucking big of a homer can you be? Your so called dynasty hasn't even played a game together, stop acting like they're going to take the nba by storm. Worry about them being healthy enough to play a game.

>2 players isn't a core. They folded on their future.

This, Thibz hates millenials, traded them the first chance he got.

>>Face it, the sixers were one of the best defensive teams with Embiid on the floor

not an argument

How is that not an argument? They haven't played a game together and their the best young core in the league? Sit your ass down little boy.

>2 players isn't a core
Yeah you're right. You really only need one. But, really, Jokic is so much more than just a core. He's the mantle and crust too.

>Face it, the sixers were one of the best defensive teams with Embiid on the floor

They had the best young core LAST year with tougher competition, and without Fultz and Simmons. Luwawu, Holmes, Saric, Embiid PLAYED arguably better than any other youth movement during Embiid's 30 games. The sixers fucking 2nd team young core could probably son the Lakers.

>best young core last year
>bottom of the barrel lottery team

?????????????????????????????????????????????

right, actually the Warriors have the best young core

>The sixers fucking 2nd team young core could probably son the Lakers.

This is some fucking high level shitposting. Only a master baiter could craft bait this great.

>The sixers fucking 2nd team young core could probably son the Lakers.

why not lol
even okafor shows up to play them

Am I get baited or are 76ers fans this delusional?

It's all part of the process, my friend

You now remember Tyus Jones

#Trusttheprocess

Is he a member of the Ball family

>6ers could have had a core of Embiid, Porzingis, Murray, Ball

THEN they could be the best young core in the league

Teams I will keep track of for the entire season because of delusional fans:

76ers
Celtics
Wolves

you forgot Giannis

Can't be. He doesn't have a twohead

>instead of Giannis they literally got cash (traded Noel for a 2nd round pick that they later flipped for cash considerations)

Is Hinkie a meme?

Not gonna lie, former BBB supporter here. Its been fun watching Zo crash and burn, but the lakers tanked the last 3 seasons and they're about to tank another.

Ball
Murray
Giannis
Porzinigis
Embiid/Noel

These guys would be a top 4 seed in the East, prove me wrong

>Murray
bust

actually they got Fultz (mcw lakers pick) instead of Giannis

the warriors bench is what won them the chip, alot of these guys are probably gone now.

david west got his astering and he's gone, shaun and iggy can get more money elsewhere and they already got two, some retarded team will offer mcgee and zaza big money, even clark is probably gone.

nevermind the kd opting out and having to pay curry.

whats gonna happen with them? they need vet minimum ring chasers, and other than v carter who didnt reject the possibility of going there, i cant see anyone else doing it.

draymond is a hell of a bargain by the way.

Porzingis is actually a 5 and overrated

Put Aaron Gordon instead if you seriously don't think Ben Simmons will be better than him.

...

>the warriors bench is what won them the chip
So it wasn't the 4 superstars?

No wonder he wore sleeves in college he looks like a little boy! HAHAHAHA

#NotMyBigBaller

Only a faggot wouldn't take Zinger over Simmons

saying "they won the chip" might be an exaggeration but they raped the cavs bench.

the starting 5 were more equal than what people like to put out there imo.

This dude looks like he'd bounce backwards trying to dunk on any standard PF/Center

don't even @ me in your mind, larry

Above Kings, but not Nugs

t.small baller 76er cucks

I don't give (You)s to people who say retarded things repeatedly.
