Get over yourself Bronsexual. You gonna make a snake image for LeBron when he leaves next year? Because Kyrie's just leaving before LeBron does.
Jacob Foster
Why is gordon hayward on that snake and not paul george
James Reed
If Cleveland was smart they would trade Lebron to Boston
Parker Rogers
Gordan snakeword left his team for nothing and jazz got no compensation.
Paul George warned his team first and allowed them to potentially get Kevin Love or something. (not his fault the GM made the worst fucking trade he could have in his position)
Cooper Richardson
Paul George gave that team everything and his incompetent GMs never got a trade for another star around him to stay in contention after the rest of the league started building superteams and the Pacers lost Lance, West, Hibbert, Hill. So he was left alone with a shitty team that couldn't play defense and wasn't good enough offensively. Even with George going god mode the last part of the season to carry them out of the lottery to a 7th seed spot, they lost against the Cavs despite the games being close to the last minute. Yeah you can say George wasn't clutch enough to seal the deal on any of those games but that's the thing. George isn't good enough to actually carry a team by himself and he realizes this. So he wanted to be traded and end it while the team was young and could get talent back instead of him leaving next year and lying to them like he wanted to stay. That would've been worse for him to pretend to want to resign to a 7th seed team in the East which is 10 times worse than a 7th seed team in the West.
I respect what George did and he handled it the best way I've seen a star player probably ever handle leaving a franchise. He's even been frank with the Thunder that he wants them to make the WCF or beat the Warriors instead of lying and saying sweet words.
Anthony Wilson
This guy is fucking crazy built for his size. He's not a twig like KD but he's not 7'2 like AD.
>left his team for nothing and jazz got no compensation. His contract was up it's called free agency. Nobody says anything about Utah making Hayward get an offer from Charlotte in '14
Brayden Wright
too bad he trained with steph curry so his game is forever one dimensional
Jaxson Morales

snakes don't leave the team that drafted them during free agency especially if that team bends over backwards to accommodate them
Adam Hughes
/nba/ = butthurt general
this isn't about basketball anymore, it's about your team losing and you reacting like a teenage girl about it.
CRY MORE BITCH NIGGAS
can't imagine if lebron had a winning record in the finals. you guys are like a cult. i cannot what til you all an hero
Ayden Brown
there's one less lakeys fan in this world now
Thomas Davis
Should the Celtics try to get Kyrie?
Andrew Morgan
Oh foolish user, don't you know? If you don't to be on the same team as lelBron or worse, a team that will oppose him in the playoffs/finals, you're a snake
Owen Clark
they would have to get rid of IT
Sebastian Jones

Joshua Young
Went on a plane today, when do I get to this this curvature that people speak of
Alexander Robinson
Seems like an upgrade IMO. Would be worth it, really. Snakey, probably, but worth it, especially with IT ready to break the bank.
Chase Jones
>LeBron is literally 100% going to leave Cleveland >Kyrie sees this, wants to leave, preferably join the Spurs
>Kyrie's the snake for being smart and moving before LeBron leaves his ass there with all the pressure on him to sign an extension for a shitty Cavs team with a shitty owner and older guys on bloated contracts >probaly wants to go to the Spurs before LeBron gets there so that's why LeBron is so mad at Kyrie for blowing up his plans of going to the Spurs
>Kyrie's the snake and not LeBron
Lmao, these LeBron dickriders are so fucking dumb it hurts.
Tyler Richardson
Worth it. Kyrie is basically a better IT that also isn't short, and as of now doesn't have a fucked up hip.
Landon Wright
DeRozan's mom has Lupus.
If you look at DeRozan's crater face cheeks it all makes sense, he may have Lupus later into his life. There's got to be more to it than acne.
Eli Mitchell
when the fuck are all these major moves supposed to happen‽‽‽‽‽‽
Jonathan Bennett
Neither Paul George nor Gordon Hayward owed their teams anything. You don't owe a team anything for having the random luck to draft you, what kind of shit is that?
Carter Thomas
Also, Lebron is the only reason the trade request became public in the first place
Juan Kelly
It's not lupus
Matthew Ross
So Larry, how long have you been a Dodgers fan?
Zachary Ross
he was a real human bean
Aiden Clark
> You don't owe a team anything for having the random luck to draft you,
if that team didn't draft them then there was a chance (however small) that they don't get drafted at all. Being drafted means that team wanted YOU over everyone else they could possibly have.
You can't control your parents either, but if your parents choose you (like you were adopted) and raised you and give you everything you could want, and suddenly you leave them for some other parents, guess what? You're a fucking snake.
Brayden Thompson
Unless it's some truly weird-ass situation, where they fixed your shot and developed you as a prospect, or where they gave you a chance when they didn't have to, they're fucking NBA players, not babies. Paul George and Gordon Hayward were lottery picks. They signed contracts and they played them out (or requested a trade in PG's case).
I get being bummed about a player you like leaving but don't turn it into some kind of moral failure.

Cameron Thomas
My shot often (say 30-50% of the time) leans to the right and from the corner I often overshoot the rim completely. Any jump shot chair doctors here that can tell me what I should focus on to fix this? I played pickup and got destroyed by a 6 year old and his 10 year old brother (not memeing).
Michael Walker

Charles Stewart

Another thing, stamina related...how tired do you guys feel playing pickup? I played a 5v5 that went to 21 (about 35 minutes) and felt like I was dying about 15 minutes in
I'm kinda spooky at 6'4" 180 so is it just a matter of putting on muscle or is it a cardiovascular thing?
Cooper Collins

I don't see anyone calling the heat a bunch of snakes for Letting wade leave instead of paying him, but whenever a player puts himself first he's a snake baka.

>kyrie is a snake for realizing that LeBron has no loyalty and will leave anyway
If LeBron committed to something and stopped being a cryptic shithead, he would probably stay. No point in staying with someone who could leave on a whim and then blame it on management, even though, management has done everything other than bend over and take his dick.
Hunter Sanchez
underrated post
Oliver Taylor
No hook by Romeo
Shit is fire
Ryder Anderson
He's not getting traded. Lebron successfully fucked him over and stuck a goddamn knife in his back and somehow still came out smelling like roses.
Better than Stockton?
I love Curry but Stockton was one of the best pick and roll players ever, a sneaky good defender, and played PG at an elite level for literally 15 damn years. Which is, by the way, completely crazy. One of the best players ever after the age of 37, along with Duncan, Kareem, and Arvydas Sabonis (which is an incredible statistic in its own way what with Sabonis not having any knees by the time he came to the league).
TRUTH
Plus, again, Lebron (or Lebron's camp) was probably the one that leaked the trade request in the first place.
Gavin Morales
Reggie Jackson is the only NBA player who can single-handedly take a playoff team and turn them into a lottery team.

i hope they buyout wade, wade has no business in chicago.

LeBron fans are mentally ill.
Ayden Nguyen
Cavs and Warriors bandwagon dickriders are all mentally ill and casual cancer. LeBron, Curry, KD dickriders are psychopathic and need to be killed on sight they're so mentally ill they're a threat to humanity.
Chase Diaz
The TWolves' roster construction is so weird. They have three centers who merit playing time with KAT, Dient, and Cole Aldrich (who I think is an underrated defensive big), none of whom can really share the court with each other. Their PFs are Taj Gibson (who I'm pretty sure is totally washed) and Nemanja Bjelica. And their wing rotation has such weird spacing and defensive issues - Wiggins and Crawford both have such weird spacing issues.
It still makes no sense to me why they dealt Rubio instead of keeping him and using their resources to improve at forward. Or why they signed Taj Gibson, and never made a run at Mirotic. I think you win a lot of games just by having KAT and Butler on the same roster but I really hope they end up dealing Wiggins + Aldrich or something for some more complementary players. On the other hand, I guess the problem with trading Wiggins is that what they most need on their roster is actually just a version of Andrew Wiggins who is actually good at basketball and can hit 3s and play defense so it might be hard to make a deal work. Weird situation really.
On an unrelated note I still really hope someone finds a way to con Detroit out of Tobias Harris, he really deserves to be a contributing player on a contender.
Grayson Ward
if they get get irving without losing their starters + gibson and crawford, then they will be favorites to win the West
John Robinson
You guys seeing this shit on /r/nba? People spamming political threads and revolting against the mods, fucking hilarious.

unless its the first pick this makes no sense
they wanted you more than everyone drafted BELOW you not above you
