>Hayward literally trolling danny ainge by telling him he will sign there than take it back

My fucking sides.

patterson works a lot better than gay/any of the celtics weak shits

shoots better from 3 and also is small ball 4 like the raptors used him i think?

>at the end of the season, have nba players rank each other 1-50
>players that end up ranked 1-20 qualify for the "superstar" contract, giving you the ability to sign a contract for 30% of the nba's cap per year
>players that end up ranked 21-50 qualify for the "core player" contract, giving you the ability to sign for 20% of the cap
>players 51 - ?? qualify for the "roleplayer" contract, giving you the ability to sign for 5% of the cap
>a team may only have two superstar contracts on it's roster at once
>unused BRI is split evenly among players
>all contracts are 3 years with a team option for 4
>rookies all start off on the "roleplayer" contract
>you may not negotiate your contract for any price other than the terms above

i fixed the nba

A supermax won't stop people leaving free agency in small markets. Sometimes you literally can't pay someone enough to stay in their bumfuck town.

>Free agent forward Patrick Patterson has agreed to a three-year, $16.4M deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder, league sources tell ESPN.

reminder:

this semen slurping sport needs some fixin and this is how you do it:
>30 teams
>get rid of conferences and divisions--no one cares
>each team plays every team 2 times in a season
>3 points for a win
>1 for a draw
>0 for a loss
>no overtime for regular season games
>6 team playoff
>5 game first round
>7 game champions hip series
>top 2 teams in the league table ranking get a first round bye
>playoff seeding determined by points(league table ranking) at end of 58 game regular season
>in case of a tie(league table ranking) , POINT DIFFERENTIAL[(total points scored during regular season) - (total points allowed during regular season)] for the entire season breaks the tie

Point differential would make every possession--every play--throughout the entire season count.
With a 6 team playoff you can expect to have 12-13 teams realistically vying for a playoff spot so around half the league will always be incentivized to play hard and win.
Since relegation isn't possible and there are no other competitions(Champions League for example) to qualify for, the other half of the league could be incentivized to win with a combination of determining a teams percentage of revenue shares + determining draft picks


you're welcome, I just saved your dying sport

just make it so teams can't go over the salary cap. problem solved

Hayward did nothing wrong

HOLY SHIT you're retarded. He already signed with the celtics, it's been confirmed ages ago.

> this gay ass socialist redistribution system
I'm sorry no players want to play in your small market town but this would make NBA even worse

>Backcourt
Roberson, Afflalo, Brandon Jennings, Rose, Waiters, Ian Clark, Jonathan Simmons, KCP, Barbosa, Rondo, Hardaway Jr., Vince Carter, Tony Allen

>Froncourt
Pau Gasol, Gallinari, Jeff Green, Rudy Gay, Illyasova, Mirotic, Nick Young, Otto Porter, LaVoy Allen, James Johnson, Sefalosha, Bojan Bogdanovic, Mbah a Moute, Shabazz Muhammad, David Lee, Beasley, Mike Muscala, Jamychal Green, Derrick Williams, Thomas Robinson, Joffrey Lauvergne

>Center
Tyler Zeller, Ezeli, Hibbert, Alex Len, Nerlens Noel, Dedmon, Pachulia, Olynyk, Mason Plumlee, Speights, Javale McGee


Patterson now off the market. Wiz have until Saturday to match Brooklyn's offer.

"Ssss ssss sssss"

Betrayward 2017

I hope my Celties sign Rudy Gay

i don't want to post here, it's a Betrayward Thread.

/nba/'s top hater player list:
BetrayD
Curry
Entire warriors roster
Gordon Betrayward
BetrayP3
Meme-biid
Deandre Jordan
Blake griffin
IT4foot faggot
who else? Lebron can not be posted here.

Trade Enes Kanter in a sign and trade for Rudy Gay

PG: Westbrook
SG: George
SF: Gay
PF: Patterson
C: Adams

ive got it a lot simpler

make max contracts slightly lower
players always go to teams that pay the highest automatically, they get 0 say in it
if its a tie player gets to choose but only if its a tie
restricted free agents work the same

Melo

>The state of the Raptors

Kings are making the playoffs

Vince Carter, Gay to Spurs pls we need someone..

"RRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
-Salty Bitch Shitty Udumb Jizz Fans, 2017

what if you make is so ONLY small market teams can go over the salary cap?

>players always go to teams that pay the highest automatically, they get 0 say in it
Nice slave/owner mentality. Typical utah white hick. Get fucked.

been telling okc fans for the longest, no one wants to live in a state that averages a small earthquake every damn day. Also who wants to hang out with fat religious rednecks who believe in magic underwear

can OKC get Utah to eat Singler's contract if they give them a 2nd round pick?

might allow them the space to pick up Thabo

they should trade kanter but not for gay lol

they need another shooter, someone at SG ideally

Fuck off homosexual

Jazz have to sign a max player to meet the cap requirements. Now that they lost Hayward who do they sign? They are literally going to have to sign a bench player to a max contract.

lololl


you hear that /nba/?

"sssssssssss sssssssssssssssssssssss sssss"

it's gordon betrayward

LeBitch

soon

Finish the sentence:

Lonzo Ball is the

is lebron the only guy who will do his old team right by returning to win?

they aren't sniffing the playoffs for another 5,6 years. It will be 2 decades before they are an 8th seed

Betrayers worst nightmare

Probs a combination of multiple players like Shabazz Muhammad and Bojan Bogdanovic

Next person to betray

this makes sense.

annual draft pick the Lakers use to say "we're on our way back!"

The whole reason he left is so they could draft someone like Kyrie. Then he returned a few years later so he could actually play in Cleveland with another good player. Pretty genius move on his part. He knew no one good was going to sign in Cleveland. He did the only thing he could to get someone else good there.

they should take on some bad one/two year contracts from contenders in order to pick up some assets, the tank has to start now.

next D'angelo Russell

bust

agreed

great insight, OP

In that case they need to trade Gobert before the season starts or they are going to end up being a team that just barely misses the playoffs which won't let them rebuild through the draft.

If only he could be an actual GM

>Rubio got on a 11 hour flight from spain to be fed some bullshit from Hayward just to be left high and dry in the end


Man i'd be pissed lol

Cavs getting Kyrie was the biggest rigging of all time

>1% chance
LMFAO

Anti-Snake

a Mongoose.

What is the punishment even for falling under the cap min?
Because going over the max is meaningless at this point

Great suggestion dude, wish I could upvote more than once

Sup Forums is an anime board

anyone notice haywards player tribune article kept talking about subway for some reason? what the fuck are the jews trying to pull because now i want some subway

Thunder need to let Roberson walk

Us as fans need to stop memeing him as some good player. We need to kill that meme.

>great insight, OP
You samefagging cuck.

And just imagine if they hadn't failed so hard on all the other picks they got while he was gone
Is Bennett even still alive?

they probably should get a read on how Gobert feels about their future, if they feel confident he is going to stay long term even if they're in the cellar they will be fine. Gobert is not going to be enough to drag this team above 30 wins but he is still a player worth keeping.

he's too young to let walk.

Last I heard he won a championship in europe, playing 2 minutes and scoring 1 point off the bench.

At least he won a ring somewhere.

Plays in Turkey now

You take the deficit and spread it evenly amongst the roster, as determined by NBAPA.

Sam Presti out here hustlin like a mother fucker playing 80D chess.

You either sink or swim and he out here like Michael Phelps.

>Among the 236 NBA players who used over 450 possessions this season, Otto Porter ranked 1st in scoring efficiency by a comfortable margin.

>25
>too young to let walk

they need to let him walk and bring back Thabo.

big mistake thinking Roberson would be a capable replacement.

iirc I think the team has to pay the difference to each player on the team, it happened to the sixers in the last decade pre Hinkie

How about this. There's no soft cap. there's a hard cap, and being over it for a single game, whether it be summer league, preseason, or regulear season, you forfeit a first. So if you are over for all 82 games, you forfeit 82 first round picks

Can't wait till /nba/ hates us for being good, making up silly things to try and bring us down. For now? We Sit and be Humble.

We'll give them Jahlil Okafor to get closer

>yfw you realize P-Pat is the first major free agent signing the Thunder have had in their entire history

...

>At the end of his first season in European basketball, Anthony Bennett lifted the Turkish Airlines EuroLeague trophy.

>Bennett signed only to play the EuroLeague and scored 9 points in a home loss against Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz late in the regular season. But once the Fenerbahce roster recovered from a rash of injuries, Bennett’s playing time dropped.

>He appeared in only one playoff game and in the championship game. Despite averaging 1.2 points and 0.9 rebounds in 10 games and leaving the club days after winning the EuroLeague title, Bennett considered his experience to be a satisfying one. "It has definitely been a crazy experience," Bennett said after the final. "Me being out there for the first time, in the EuroLeague, I definitely accomplished more than what people can say."

How JUST is the former #1 pick

if durant and wb didnt choke okc would be another spurs like organization in a small market.

KEK

but Thabo ain't the same when he was with the thunder during the Harden years. It may backfire

I don't understand. This dude looks like a white dude with a tan, but has cornball hair. What kind of crazy race mixing is going on here?

Not very funny.

how about we just ban niggers from playing bball

there has never been reason for it, good drafting and mostly shrewd trades have prevented the need.

this is the first time the Thunder have gone into free agency without KD, so things are different.

Why do you think so many hispanics identify as white? A lot of them are basically tanner white people

>Tells them to resign a role player.(Joe Ingles) Jazz have to massively overpay him to resign him.
>Says he wants to play with Ricky Rubio.
>Jazz trade for him.
>Waits until all possible replacements are signed.
>Announces he is leaving.
>No possibility of tanking because they still have Gobert.
>No possibility of playoffs without Hayward.

Has anyone ever purposely fucked over a team so hard before he left?

You're so fucking retarded it's not even funny. Thabo is washed up and injured to hell.

lmfao OKC could have had

WB-KD-Ibaka-PG

KD is truly the biggest bitch of all time.

and let betrayward dominate? lel no. we should ban white people.

>Patterson is Sam Presti's biggest open market free agent signing. Previous was Nenad Krstic at $15.8 million for 3 years.

No they couldn't. Paul George trade was a desperation move to try to convince Westbrook to stay next summer. Wouldn't have happened if Durant was still there.

WB
PG
PP
SA
RG

thunder are going to the finals

Ibaka was traded for Oladipo/Sabonis
Oladipo and Sabonis were traded for PG

You're really calling someone an anime fag on a Vietnanese basket weaving board?

no that was signing oladipo on a garbage contract

I think banning all these soft ass white people might help

Also ban KD

OKC has nothing to trade for PG while keeping Ibaka you idiot

(You)
(You)

No such thing as a soft white person, whites are the gladiators of planet earth

hayward is overrated, not sure why there was this much buzz about his free agency. he chokes constantly and lebron matches well vs him.

Woooooow what are you losers doing on an anime imageboard on the 4th of july? Why aren't you watching fireworks and eating hot dogs while getting drunk?

>assblasted weeb say this in a sport board, in the non contaiment weeb shit section

Lmao

How to destroy a team by Gordon Snakeward:

Leave as late as possible so every potential replacement is gone. Also ask them to sign some old meme players for big money so they can't rebuild.

ummm, KD is the number one baller on the planet sweetie.
