Explain to me why someone would want to play for the Cloppers when the Lakers have 16 championships and Magic Johnson running the ship?

waiting for the playoffs edition

His wife literally said he likes getting his ass eaten during a radio interview.
It was the top trending thing on twitter for an entire day and was a big deal.

She then implied he eats her ass too.

>he doesn't eat ass or suck toes

Thunder should pick up Tony Allen tbqh

Some people don't want that big ass spotlight in LA. Everything you do is on screen. Playing for the Clippers might be a more humble (lol) choice

>CHI:Nikola Mirotic traded to NO
yes, tank god
we gonna tank so fucking hard, first round pick please
>if you allow your enemies to beat you, you win

Clippers have better players, cap, and assets.

The Lakers have Deng and a bunch of busts.

Clippers have role players and depth

THe Laksers have Deng? Sincw when?

Cause if you win them a title it's like Cleveland in that it means more than to get another title for an already established franchise that has had many great teams and players

Nuggies!

>The Lakers have Deng
not for long

I can't believe NOLA managed to get rid of that Asik contract. Guess 1.5 years is okay, especially since it might have worth as an expiring for future trades.

Asik literally can't play anymore, why doesn't he retire?

And that Asik trade (1st round pick!) then re-signing is was a historically bad move. He was never especially good and went downhill from there.

Half his contract will stay on the books for twice the original years.

Congrats on never being able to build a contender for LeBron

Kristaps is good but is he really a #1 player on a playoff contender?

In a couple of years I can see it.

Not a good enough playmaker at this point. Has to significantly improve on that end, otherwise he is a Carmelo type player

I can't see the Lakers using the stretch provision on Deng unless they desperately need cap space to get 2-3 top-tier free agents. They already have a shitton of cap space. They will likely just sit on that contract and let it run.

Only 2.5 more seasons anyway, and the expiring might be useful for trades in the final season.

>LeBron
>Steph
>KD
>Draymond
>Klay
How many championships do they win?

What kind of reality is this where the Lakers and Warriors basically switched places (Warriors now preeminent franchise and Lakers a shitshow)

Too bad San Francisco isn't an international city like LA

Is Lebron's championship run done?
Think about it. If he goes anywhere, people will shit on him. If he stays, he's never winning again.

>They will likely just sit on that contract and let it run
lelno

Celties

None because Lebron slows down the offense and he can't be coached.
Also, it would never happen without them losing key parts of the team like Klay and Dray. This would significantly drop their defensive rating, considering Klay and Dray are defensive gods and LBJ drops Cavs rating when he's on the court.

Why not? Stretching will fuck their cap space in the future - better to wait it out now then have a $7.2m/yr for 5 seasons. The chances of the Lakers getting 2-3 high-paid free agents causing Deng's contract to be a major problem is incredibly slim. The Lakers have a fuckton of cap space right now.

lewd

Does Blakey make the Pisstons watchable?

Is Lauri /ourguy/?

are those really his shoes

Yes

>dbz
normie as fuck

Not as funny as your face

year of the raptors

OOOOOOOOOOOH

...

Why did this make me laugh? Lmao

why are rookies such fucking nerds? literal millionaires watching cartoons and jacking off to pillows. baka, we need jordan back

RAPTORS!

sup OP

You remember where you typed "/nba/ general?" there's more space in that box. just a hyphen and then your subject would really save you some space in the post.

Just FYI

Last two digits confirm number of games Lakers win next year

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Accurate

...

lol who gives a shit

you need a life

wow

bad bait desu, i'm not sure if even 1 of those 3 are true

>Lakers
Right state, wrong team.
Embrace it Sup Forums

SHUT THE HECK UP
RAPTORS ARE PLAYING RIGHT NOW

This would be the greatest thing ever.

He's literally here 24/7 bro, we tried getting him help but he doesn't want it

tick tock tick tock

Is Oakland part of Greater LA?

Oakland is part of the San Jose Bay Area.

Griffin is about it light it up tonight

I would legit stop watching the NBA

The sasa streams comment section looks exactly the same as the shitposts I see on /nba/

Are you guys spamming there or is that just reddit?

Los Angeles Bay Area*

You know the flight corridor between LA-SF is the busiest in the country and many Bay residents commute to LA everyday by plane or car

This but unironically.

I wouldn't watch a single game, would stop following the news, would completely cut it out of my life in every way.

The Pistons are a great franchise you mother fuckers

blame the LD fags

he plays tonight?

Idiot the last two digits of THIS post confirm number of games Lakers win next year

Kuzma/Ingram/Ball going to have one more year of experience and be better

It depends on how it happens. If they somehow manage to keep Klay, Durant, Curry, Draymond and then add LeBron, I'd definitely stop watching

If they lose Klay, I'd argue they might actually get worse with LeBron.

>The Pistons are a great franchise you mother fuckers

>commute to LA
Yeah the poor ones maybe. California's best and brightest work at Google and Apple in the Bay Area.
Norcal>shit>Socal

>posts a webm that streamer user made
really makes you think

That’s why LA is a lot richer right?

No one associates Upstate Cali with money

obvious non-cali fag spotted
that's not how it works over here, people actively avoid the bay area, LA is where everyone wants to work

...

"No."
The bay area is one of the worst places to work because of the cost of living, makes more sense to work in LA and commute from 15 miles out where the houses are super fucking cheap and the weather is great

yo /nba/

youwannasprite?

only if he had asuka shoes

>hurrr I would stop watching the NBA if LeBron went to Golden State

How the fuck is this different from Kevin fucking Durant joining a 73 win team? The NBA is a farce already

That’s funny because Silicon Valley is more associated with LA than Norcal

>getting your wife and yourself killed by speeding

not now im on my protools grind

live fast die young bitch

activate the nuke

>working in the bay area
fuck no, I moved out of there because the people are so cancerous, everything is politicized there, it's like you can't even go to the store without someone complaining about something or championing some cause its almost like its in the air and suffocating, i hated that feeling

>That’s funny because Silicon Valley is more associated with LA than Norcal

>implying
even James Hetfield, who loves San Fran, couldn't stand it anymore

lllllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll

some kid did this on fan cam, forgot which team lolol

Point Blake really isn't a meme.

He's legit throwing lobs to Drummond already and doing behind the back cross overs on the fastbreak.

He just hit a 3 now.

Blake will become a better basketball player now that he can't get caught up in the distractions of LA.

He only has basketball now that trap houses surround him.

>Gortat just got denied by Lowry

my fucking sides

>Gortat getting rejected by a fat booty pitbull

webm when?

What happened to Powell?

Nothing?

he made a couple threes, showing signs of life

...

Canada banned nuclear energy and he was never the same.

simmons has no place in todays game lmao. nigga cant shoot the 3 smdh

All those players averaged better stats so this is seriously misleading and makes Ben look better than he really is.

He's closer to MCW right now than Magic or Oscar.

He’s balling out

>rookie
wink wink

what about lebum?
