Daily reminder that Papa Silver owes us Cameron Boozer for gifting the T-Wolves and the Face of the League ™ our hometown hero who plays great defense and is the 5th best 3pt shooter in the league. Also, we even took their draft bust that they were trying to get rid of. Then, we’ll draft best center available with the Portland pick and best bigs/SGs available with our two second rounders. Then, we let everyone we recently acquired except Leonard Miller walk (Dillingham, Ivey, Sexton, Simmons, Yabusele, Richards), sort by age in free agency and sign all the 72+-rated free agents who are 18-22 years old with untapped potential.
>PG: Josh Giddey
>SG: Isaac Okoro
>SF: Matas Buzelis
>PF: Cameron Boozer
>C: Center drafted with Portland pick
>Sixth Man: Tre Jones
>Bench: Jalen Smith, Leonard Miller, Patrick Williams, Noa Essengue, second rounder, second rounder, previously-mentioned 18-22 year old free agent, previously-mentioned 18-22 year old free agent, previously-mentioned 18-22 year old free agent
Name a more fun, young team, which is positioned better for the future than my 2026-2027 Bullies.

They wanted him to be the next Jordan so bad it was disgusting. He's a great player right now, and he's still very young so of course he can be better/go on to do more, but they were ready to crown him the next face of the league already. They're desperate for a dark black American basketball player to be atop the league since LeBrons on his way out and the top players are damn near all foreigners.

Not only that, it's like having a "Fuck your sister night" and when someone says it's dumb, sperging out and saying it's "White culture". I guess that's one of the main differences, we don't flaunt the worst parts of ourselves as integral to our culture.

This reminds me when my friend wanted me to go to a strip club with him, free of charge and we would have gotten VIP+ since he knew the owner. I told him no and that clubbing is a waste of him. Ever since then I think he suspects I’m gay ajd talks to me less as a result. Mind you. I never speak to women.
>>
>>153722260
Although the "muh poor women" reasoning is gay, yes celebrating a strip club as an integral piece of your culture and identity is retarded. Doubling down to extend that not only to being integral to the culture of your entire city, but of African American Identity makes it even more embarrassing.

>>153722291

The fact that you can say this with a straight face is embarrassing, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're just trolling and fuckin around based on how you're typing.

>>153722361
Every single athlete fucks around with an ungodly amount of loose women, and hits up every major club in town when they roll through. To know it is one thing, to acknowledge it is another, to publicly advertise it and claim this is integral to your culture and identity is absolutely braindead retarded.
This shit doesn't happen in Vegas, a city known for gambling, sex, drugs, and every other form of degeneracy.
>It is bball and city culture
Again, it's absolutely embarrassing to try to legitimize this. I'm not saying that these guys can't go fuck strippers and get lap dances, they're young rich mother fuckers of course they're gonna do that. If you can't see how ridiculous it is to run a game night around it, then I don't know what to say. It's not "Pearl Clutching", it's just embarrassing.

The Warriors really traded away a potentially great young talent in a blatant salary dump to....do nothing. What are they going to do with that salary they're gonna clear up? Sign some more Buddy Hields? Draymond and Curry aren't going anywhere, and Butler's fucking useless. Even all three of them at full strength would be a 2nd round ceiling, and that's wildly generous.
The Warriors at this point exist to be a retirement home for Curry and Green. They got theirs, and they don't give a fuck anymore. They'll play out the next couple/few years, be anywhere from the 6-10 seed, and lose in the first round of the playoffs if they manage to get past the Play In.
If the organization had any balls they'd offload everyone, get whatever the hell they can for them, and try to rebuild. But instead they'll spin their wheels with what they got, and then when Curry, Green, and Kerr all damn near simultaneously retire they'll be back to being the dregs of the league.

Children now see so much shit on the internet you really think a promotion that features 0 actual strippers is going to be over the line? The team's dance team is probably the most promiscuous thing theyll see all night. That's if theyre not sitting next to some barely closed slut in the stands to begin with but of course that's apparently different. Even when I was a kid we had shit like family guy we all watched when we shouldnt have been. The promotion is literally wings and a concert.

lmao at Cooper Kwabb for losing the ROTY trophy to a guy he went to Duke with and who was a lower draft pick. If you're #1 pick and you don't ROTY then you're a bust flat out, theres no excuses that can excuse that. #1 pick is supposed to be the best.
Duke would've gone to the finals last year if Knipple had been given the last shot instead of Cooper Kwabb

We (ball knowers) been knew that. Early in the season I did a scout of basically every on the rise guard. And quickly learned that Maxey is not it. Before, I coped that Maxey default to such isolation heavy forced shots basketball because the team is just dumb and suck at movement and screens. But I'm thinking more and more that its just him. I should have known with how reactive and conditional his playmaking is, but I didnt value playmaking enough at that time yet

Its just funny that Harden can get away with being inefficient and having less assists, because his assists are more "valuable" by no real merit of his own, but by the sheer fact that hes almost always playing with 3 other 40% 3 point shooters, and decent roll decision makers in craig porter jr and evan mobley
and people are going to act like harden just changed this franchise. Ill admit, their defense has been surprisingly good as of late.

They would call travels well up into the Jordan era on players who were cutting or on fast breaks when they would take a step before dribbling. Now Wembanana or Geeanus can go from one end of the court to the other on one dribble by catching the ball on the run, taking one dribble, take 2 steps during a giant overexaggerated "gather", and then taking 2 more steps towards the rim. They used to call offensive fouls on dunk attempts and drives all the time. It's much easier to score when you're allowed to shove defenders and pick up the ball and willy-nilly run around the court before setting your feet and shooting.

reaves became expendable the moment they got luka, luka does the same exact shit as reaves except better
why the lakers didn't aggressively shop reaves i don't understand, now they're gonna get stuck holding the bag paying the guy $40M+ when he ain't worth that

lakers are one of the few half decent commentators in the league, they actually call them out and praise other teams on the regular
try watching the thunder or god forbid the warriors commentators and the difference is like night and day

reaves is good but he unironically needs to be a sixth man/gnobili type guy and come off the bench
he works best as a second wind for the offense and late games in the clutch when he has his shot going, starting him and luka doesn't work because they're both ball dominant playmakers

doing some ball watching of the 2024 easter conference first round playoffs game 6, and this game is a perfect microcosm of my developing basketball philosophy, might do a whole write up on it here.
its perfect, because it shows how a player can score 50 points and still lose their team the game and/or lead to a stagnant offense.

do you think they would've had that same energy if Luka rightfully got his 2nd T and was ejected from the game, resulting in a Lakers loss?

Is there some sort of drama happening in the wnba? I've never watched any basketball related content on youtube, but out of nowhere the algorithm is force feeding me drama clips of a white girl and black girl beefing with each other.

He doesn't stay healthy and he's a chucking faggot. It's hilarious that you mouthbreathing faggots think that regular seasonbabbies having a decent run (mostly against shit teams) are gonna do anything in the playoffs. Philly was a much better team and we watched those shitters fall apart in the playoffs every year. Same with Toronto. Same with Cleveland. Same with Phoenix. Same with both of those shitty ass LA teams. Regular season means fuck all but please screencap this so I can laugh at you faggots when they get BTFO.

Daryl Morey was reportedly looking to add Kawhi Leonard to the Sixers at the deadline, per @KevinOConnor
“Executives have said that the Sixers were actively making calls pre-deadline, though nothing seemed remotely close. Some sources suggest that Morey was star hunting with Kawhi Leonard being a name that was connected to Philly. But nothing happened. So Embiid, Maxey and the team saw McCain get dealt, the tax get ducked, and no pieces brought in to help.”

Morey doesn’t think this team are competitors so they are ducking the luxury tax. He was also a bit redundant with staggered minutes for Maxey/Edgecombe. Still a bummer and it felt like they sold low.

Wait are you unaware of the role of team cumdump? He actually added more value to the Sixers this way. I'm perplexed they didn't move Maxey in the summer or especially by the deadline with Edgecombe popping off. Maxey will never be worth the money - i'd attach assets to get rid of paying him. Adam silvers nba requires you to give a player a $170m contract to any decent player you develop

only person in this thread that knows ball, only reason mccain works on OKC is because of the type of personel OKC imploys, its virtually an entire team consisting of 3 and D wing level defenders, even though theyre mostly small ball. It allows McCains weaknesses to be covered for, and his strengths to fit in seamlessly.
He was shit in Philly. I remember so many philly fans telling me he should get the ball more or play PG and I'd watch him, waiting every time to see that PG instinct or spark, but no, he just spotted up and shot the ball or drive and faded away, or drove and botched a layup because hes small and young and doesnt know how to slip those by yet.
I'm not even against McCain. Watching Philly and watching that stagnant Iso ball offense soured me on Maxey, and I coped for a long time that the team instilled bad habits in him and he wasnt at fault. But he is. Maxey is a limited playmaker too, a bad defender off ball, but racks up a lot of steals because hes athletic and gambles. But he scores a lot, and this team has nothing else to believe in so he gets an understandable pass for his problems.
But people are going too far giving McCain more credit than he deserves for simply getting to a team that covers for him perfectly and lets him do what hes fine at. I guarantee you he does not touch the playoffs unless he somehow takes a leap from now to april

When the Lakers got Luka everyone agreed that Luka was just hanging around waiting for LeBitch to retire so they could put together a good team and win rangz and now its a year later, LeBitch is still on the team and ppl somehow expect the Lakers to be good. Why did everyone forget the initial assessment so quickly? Trust the plan, this is LeBitch's last season as a Laker and Luka will have a minimum of two rangz by the end of the decade.
>>
>>153727393
Yeah I think I said at the time of the trade that OKC is the best context for him. He's a good backup for Joe and is on a cheap contract, so it made sense for OKC, but yeah I don't imagine he'll play much in the playoffs
>>153727400
No it doesn't. He still can't score 2s, pass, or defend

>>153727334
It would take at least 10 people to stop me from tearing that faggot to shreds if I was him. I like Duren too but putting his teeth on the floor would've been worth the 10-20-30 or even 40 game suspension.

>>153727351
>Maxey will never be worth the money
The fuck are you on about? He's averaging damn near 30 a game...they need that scoring and playmaking especially since they know that Embiitch will inevitably end up sharing a hospital room with AlwaysDisabled. And you clearly can't fucking depend on PCP since he's played like pure dog shit the last 2-3 seasons. If there was a contract that they needed to move off from it was PGs but they can't since he's smoking crack now.

Getting bitch slapped and some dude mushing the fuck outta your face is one in the same. It's disrespectful as fuck. I mean touching a man's face in general is fucking weird if you're not his kid, his mother, or his girlfriend/wife. It's gonna sound crazy but punching someone in the face is less direspectful than mushing them. Mushing/slapping them basically means you don't even respect them as a man/threat to even need to use full force like punching them. Mushing someone like that is something you do when a girl is wildly flailing at you and you don't want to rock a female, so you mush her or grab her hands to stop her from hitting you. And I don't think it's inherently a black thing...I think if you went to a random bar and mushed a white dude like that in the face he'd tear off into your ass as well. It's a respect thing. The only thing worse than that would just be outright spitting in someone's face.
