Let’s gooooooo

That suns 2031 pick boutta hit like crack

>>146826663
the jazz traded for a 3rd grader.

I like that the suns are just going all in this timeline instead of being a pussy like the lakers and warriors.

>>146826668
Utah and grooming children, a timeless duo

they used to put people like wembenyama and flagg in the freak show and now they get paid millions to play a sport. society has advanced tremendously

>>146826685
when my jazz 2030s dynasty starts cause we get a top 5 pick in 2031 ill come back to this post

>>146826721
Stockton is based.

>>146826684
all of these teams are 2nd round exits at best

We DONE with the earlyfagging.

someone needs to help lebron
this is urgent
get him some help
get him caruso
get him kcp
get him lonzo ball
get him zubac
get him malik monk
get him josh hart
get him ingram
get him fuckin... dennis schroder
one of them wagner germans
anyone, please, one of our stars is taking up 8-9% of the cap
it's a human rights issue

>>146826684
based and real. i unironically prefer boom-or-bust slop "superteams" because it makes for better television (2021 iso gang Brooklyn, 2017-2019 Warriors). also teams can sometimes reset their assets like Brooklyn did. it's rare, yet it always seems to happen

>>146826761
why do people blossom once they leave the Lakers?

>>146826761
LeBron has earned help

>>146826761
DLo + Rui was supposed to be the Jerami Grant package. idk if the Lakers have a Jerami Grant package now. knowing the Wizards, I am sure they will facilitate some bullshit to help the Lakers. i wont be surprised if the fucking Wizards are that fourth "facilitator" team in the PHX-MIL-MIA deal. the Lakers are NOT trading future assets, so they would have to shuffle their win-now core and trade whatever young players are on the books. trading a rookie-scale guy is like trading a first round pick.

>>146826761
reminder that the lakers choose THT over Caruso.

>>146826684
Its usually the ones willing to risk it all who will be remembered. The future is already bad might as well go all out. Having the 29th or 30th worst future, does it matter?

Austin reaves for sengun, banchero and isaiah joe who says no??????

>>146826777
actually lebron has earned 49 million dollars this year. I hope he enjoys it

>>146826770
you see how westMARDUK cuts next to Jokic at the wings, elbows, and in the post? that could've been him and Bron, yet "basketball genius" LeCoach had brodie standing in the fucking corner. even when Russ was in position, the Lakers would run high-low for Bron

Why does LeBozo need more help? He already has Bronny.

>mavs lose Derrick lively for 2-3 months with fractured foot

Has to be concerning that lively misses huge chunks of the season, twice now. Mavs aren't doing shit this year unless Luka is slim and gives a damn on defense.

>>146826804
>marduk
like from bakugan?

how can Jokic elevate Westbrick but Lebron cant?

Actually no, reddit told me Reaves was "him" and an all star level player. Forget it

It’s okay LeBron is getting his help.

>>146826860
Jokic is better than any version of lebron except 2013

>>146826873
the lakers are a fucking problem now

>>146826873
This guy was good for like 20 games and

>>146826878
current jokic is better than 2013 lebron. No shame in that

>>146826878
Why are you lying.

Jokic hasn’t beaten a 50 win team in the playoffs so he’s a fraud I fear

The Heat would actually be pretty good if Jimmy didn't give up and Bam was PF the whole season. Herro and Ware are really good.

Also if Terry Rozier didn't exist but that's going too far.

Jokic isnt athletic so he cant possibly ever be top 10 all time

my Nuggies got 'em seething

>>146826913
You want Ware and Bam at the same time?

>>146826908
2020 lakers didn't beat one either

>>146826939
Yeah. The thing the Heat needed the most was size. Most of their trades during the Jimmy era have been for 6 foot PGs. Now they drafted a talented 7 footer who could be ROTY.

>>146826942
Season was cut short you are being ignorant.

Heat fans deserve what they are getting.

>Lively ded

Mavericks are officially done for the season. Wouldn't be surprised if they just keep Luka out the entire season and go full tank mode.

reddit on, dudes

>>146826873
We are so fucking back.

>>146826860
Jokic is the better player. Modern players are so much more talented than 2000s era boomers.

>>146827019
You know nothing about Texas.

>>146826997
oh so it did count when the 2020 nuggets beat the 49-23 clips (56 wins in a normal season) and the 44-28 jazz (50 wins in a normal season)?

>>146827054
obviously not, look at the flag. also i checked his wiki and apparently hes from arkansas and not texas. what do they have going on down there?

>>146827061
The season was cut short so you cannot use the 50 win argument. Mind you bron belted Jokic anyways in the WCF

Jokic didn’t beat any 50 win teams during his * run btw.

oh boy I wonder why /nba/ is seething about the vorpgod today

>>146826528
>>146826811
The Mavs really should tank this season. Sure they probably can get the play-in spot if Luka is back by February but this injury luck this season is God telling them to tank for Flagg and build another white superstars duo.

>>146827081
ok so the lakers couldn't beat a single 50-win team in their * run
why can't you just be consistent

What if...beal refuses the trade to miami?

>>146827146
he can't refuse something that's not on the table. The whole holdup to the trade is miami doesn't want him and they're looking for a team who does and who he'll waive his ntc for

>>146827146
>>146827167
I thought beal was going to the bucks

>>146827146
miami doesnt want beal. word on the street is bucks will take him and Beal will waive his NTC for milwaukee.

personally as a bucks fan id rather keep Middleton unless we can get a 1st rounder and off load Pat. We have the cards here so we can make demands

>>146827176
suns will have to give up one of their acquired 1sts and suns or heat will have to find a team to take pat connaughton. thats the only way we make this trade work

reminder that the Jazz franchise GOATs are a pedo and an anti vaxxer trumpie

Bucks are insane

>>146827237

>>146827237
only fags care about the 2nd one. They care about it so much that they made a video about how he cant dribble with his left hand

>>146827507
PHX is the only team that will move good assets for him and the Heat cant let Jimmy walk for nothing.

>>146827666
Why not let him walk for nothing?

>>146827766
because that's fucking stupid. If you can get something then you get something. Only bad teams let dudes walk for nothing when they know in advance

>>146827826
Suns don't have an asset worth trading for. I'd rather have nothing than Beal.

>>146826878
LeBron beat GSW
Jobitch cant beat any 50win team

>>146827851
they just got a bunch of firsts and Beal isn't going there. Some expirings and draft picks work fine

>>146827474
ag 6th man has been shockingly good doing that, solving the "everyone but jokic looks shit off the bench" thing and westbrook peaks with jokic and is mid without him
I think once playoffs come he'll be playing a ton anyway, god willing he'll be adding time as backup center instead of deandre jordan's corpse

>>146828114
Big Game Wemb knows tomorrow's game isn't nationally televised so he can get away with phoning it in and bricking 10 3s like usual.

>>146827474
Yes. AG keep playing the back up center. This will work for the regular season but will once again collapse in the first or second round like it did last year.

>>146828559
murray off the bench is ass

>>146828369
Deandre can be their backup center until the summer. All they need for him is defense so they won't get cooked when Jokic is out and maybe a dunk or two.
He is 36, it's not that crazy for him to do this. He just needs to keep playing games until the playoffs and not sit at the bench for a month or something like that

Saric though looks like he is done, Malone doesn't want to play him at all for whatever reason.

The 3 zoomers are developing at a crazy pace. They could be as good as they were in 2023 by the end of the season but not until they fill the "old ass unc locking niggas down" role that Jeff Green played

The nugs aren't winning shit if Murray isn't hoopin and I don't know why you people are pretending otherwise. That's why he will never get benched. Westbrook or Braun will be 6 man when AG gets fully healthy

>>146826761
How about we GET HIM A BODYBAG YEAAAAH

>>146826787
100% this. LeBron chose collusion with his agency butt buddies over re-signing an actually good player to what would have been an *extremely* reasonable deal. And like always, after strongarming the team into a stupid decision he's now complaining that they haven't found a way out of the hole he dug for them.

Is James Harden the worst player in NBA History?
Arguably, yes.
Aside from picrel, Harden is also 5th in career turnovers despite not even being in the top 50 for career minutes played.
In 2015-16 Harden set the all time single season turnovers record with 374 and the next year he shattered his own record by 90 with a total of 464 in a single season, a record likely never to be broken as long as the season is only 82 games long.

>jokic and 1 (one) good player can win a ring.
No. Jokic and 1 player that had a prime KD-tier playoff performance + 3 great roleplayers and another great 6 man were needed to win that ring. Stop downplaying how good Murray was that run.

murray was good in 2023 and the bubble but I don't know how you can see jokic turn worse players into gold 500x, see how bad murray is with the bench, see murray's top 20 contract in the league, and still pretend he's something to be eternally grateful for instead of an impediment to an era

Hit enter too quickly
>why does mpj have the same contract as sga
Because SGA's contract is an absolute steal and MPJ is an elite roleplayer who's a 1/1. Remember this guy was originally projected to go number 1 overall pick before his back injuries.
>most importantly, how was murray in 2021, 2022, 2024
Injured. Yet still playing better than everyone on the team save for the franchise player himself.
> but I don't know how you can see jokic turn worse players into gold 500x
Jimmy Butler in 2023 was turning worse players into gold. Jokic was getting carried by Murray playing like an all-nba guard.
>see how bad murray is with the bench
Put anyone with a bunch of a washed vets and rookies and they'd look bad. Anyone but SGA really, though no one seems to give him credit for that
>see murray's top 20 contract in the league
Didn't exist before this year, irrelevant to Jokic's lack off playoff success outside of 2023.

>and still pretend he's something to be eternally grateful for instead of an impediment to an era
An era he says LOL. What you retards still don't understand is that there are maybe 30 max players in this league that are playoff risers, Murray being one of the absolute best of them. How many Hardens, Westbrooks, Derozans, Bookers, and Tatums do you need to see collapse in the playoffs to not know Murray's value?

I wonder if Lively will have injury problems in the future. After all he is pretty damn tall and jumps around a lot

did you watch those games when jokic was out on paternity leave where they lost to the pelicans and grizzlies benches
also I can think of someone that makes washed vets and rookies look good, but you're not a fan of his I think
>Didn't exist before this year
murray's contract as a percentage of the cap from 2021 onwards is as follows: 26.21% (dnp), 25.6% (dnp), 24.87% (chip year), 25.62% (ice pack year), 30%, 29.45%, 28.76%, 27.95%

>cmon. also isn't "most championship teams have an all-star second option, not a gamble on getting one" my line that pissed you off in the first place?
Yes, because you don't actually understand that being an all-star is irrelevant, and that Murray played better during that championship run that the majority of all-stars in the league. The other thing nobody talks about is that Jokic gets all the credit for the Nuggets success (and none of the blame when they're losing) so none of his other teammates like Murray would ever get voted as an all-star in the first place, even when they're playing well
>did you watch those games when jokic was out on paternity leave where they lost to the pelicans and grizzlies benches
Did you watch the game against the Celtics and Clippers were they played better than with Jokic around? I think you should.
>also I can think of someone that makes washed vets and rookies look good, but you're not a fan of his I think
I sure hope you're not talking about the guy that loses to the 6 - 36 Washington Wizards that were missing Kuzma and Sarr. Certainly not that guy.
>murray's contract as a percentage of the cap from 2021 onwards is as follows: 26.21% (dnp), 25.6% (dnp), 24.87% (chip year), 25.62% (ice pack year), 30%, 29.45%, 28.76%, 27.95%
>wow, he only took up 26% of the cap, not 28%
And? Is 2% that much of a dealbreaker for you? Maybe they should trade Murray for an All-star like Paul George, surely that'll be the help Jokic needs to build a dynasty, right?

>murray missed 2 playoffs and played like complete shit in the latest playoffs
And Jokic accomplished jackshit without him. Who cares if Aaron Gordon, MPJ, and KCP also play poorly right? Or if Jokic single handedly bricks a 20 point lead away in an elimination game. Nope, blame the non-all star guard for the """"Greatest offensive player ever""""" getting shut down by KAT and Naz Reid.

>I thought the olympics would've been enough to break through
Murray missed half of those games because of his contract talks with the Nuggets, and then came off the bench for the few he did play, clearly still hurt from whatever he was suffering from in the playoffs. What was Jokic's excuse for giving up another double-digit lead to the USA?

Isn't it funny how the Nuggets with Murray playing well still lost to the Cavs, while SGA with no center blew them out with a 42 point lead? Isn't it even more funny how the Nuggets only started winning again after AG came back into the line up? Really starting to think that Jokic isn't even the most valuable player on his team, let alone the league, at this point.

THIS IS PURELY HYPOTHETICAL AND NOT A REPORT, but if Marc's report on Bucks interest in Beal materializes, something that makes sense is Connaughton to Pistons to get Bucks under 2nd apron; Butler to Suns; Middleton, Portis & 2 of Suns' newly acquired first rounders to Heat; Beal and Suns' other new 1st to Bucks

PLS GOD

>/nba/ is only about forced Jimmy Butthurt drama and a dude seething about Jokic nonstop

where did we go wrong

I mean....

the bubble killed this general for good

>>146831885
>As a person with functioning eyes, it's my duty to call out the false narrative surrounding Jokic
you said that jokic was keeping jamal murray, who's a 20 ppg guard in the west and has not played more than 65 games in 7 seasons, from being named an all-star
also if you watched those games and have disdain for steph and lebron I honestly don't know what to say, and I hate the lakers and the warriors

here we go again

>Jokic on Westbrook: “I think people and teams (from his past) misunderstand him and didn’t give him the opportunity to be who he is.”
Umm... bronsissies????

>>146831982
>you said that jokic was keeping jamal murray, who's a 20 ppg guard in the west and has not played more than 65 games in 7 seasons, from being named an all-star
Yes. People aren't going to vote for another Nuggets player an All-star when fake narratives like Jokic being god's gift to basketball and the sole reason for the Nuggets success exist. No other All-stars can exist when fat serb needs to statpad MVP awards.

>also if you watched those games and have disdain for steph and lebron I honestly don't know what to say
? Again, as a person with working eyes, I can see the clearly have both taken a step back and are looking much older on there, with their teams struggling as a result.

>>146832026
Nuggets will find out exactly who Westbrick is during the playoffs.

>>146832049
Get Murray and SGAs dick out your mouth playa

>>146832049
>People aren't going to vote for another Nuggets player an All-star
if you think regular season jamal murray is a top ~5 guard in the west you're just gone, I'm sorry. similarly, if you think jokic is actively trying to farm mvps, you need to look within
>I can see the clearly have both taken a step back and are looking much older on there, with their teams struggling as a result.
I could not agree more. following this logic, I cannot even lend any respect to jamal murray, who is unable to sustain his success from the 2020 or 2023 playoffs into the next season, or even the following post-season. thank you for clearing my eyes

it's the Timberpuppies vs Kyrie and his G-Leaguers tonight

go wuffs

We are more than halfway through 2020s basketball and no player in the league has scored more points than Jason Tatum.

JT just passed MJ for most points under age 27.

Two time gold medalist and reigning champion is going for a repeat. He continues to have the fifth highest offensive output despite sharing with an entire team of great scoring options.

Despite the focus on offensive, JT remains one of the top ranked defenders as well.

He has, of course, plenty of playoff experience for a young guy, winning his first ring before MJ or Bron and having gone to the finals or conference finals almost every year he has played.

Jason Greatam is, BTW, the highest paid player in the league, a sign of the markets confidence in his greatness.

I look forward to watching Greatam repeat with you this year.

>>146832026
Jokic is just built different. Feels good to be a witness to the GOAT.

>>146832161

>>146832161
are you mocking the leaf or something
mj did 3 years in college not 1, and he lost another season because of his foot

>>146832198
feels bad man. No other team can match the Nuggie's narrative energy right now.

>>146832026
Harden really should try moving to Nuggets if he wants a ring

>Odds for Jimmy Butler’s next trade destination on @DKSportsbook have been pulled off the board in anticipation of a trade.
The call has been made.

>>146832247
KD needs more help.

>>146832128
>if you think regular season jamal murray is a top ~5 guard in the west you're just gone
Never said he was this year. He'd never have a chance even if he was playing at that level because of fake jokic narratives.

>if you think jokic is actively trying to farm mvps, you need to look within
He clearly is, no matter how much he tries to lie and pretend he doesn't care about it. Funny how he was willing to play GM to get Westbrook but do nothing about the gaping hole in their roster that is the back up center....Almost like his advanced stats directly benefit from Nuggets bench being dysfunctional.....
>I cannot even lend any respect to jamal murray, who is unable to sustain his success from the 2020 or 2023 playoffs into the next season, or even the following post-season.
Why single out Murray when none of the Nuggets did the same? Murray still showed up when it mattered, which should be all the Nuggets need if Jokic supposedly only needs "1 good second option" to win multiple championships and create a dynasty like his fanboys think he can. The fact of the matter is that Jokic doesn't need a good second option to succeed, he REQUIRES one, since he's simply unable to take over games when it counts and will his team to victory. He needs other players like Murray to do that because he has no dawg in him and has zero killer instinct.

>>146832259
He should request a trade then

victimize hawks please

>our guy easymoneyGOD already called VORPLORD top 10 all time
>retards here still think anything they say to the contrary matters

KWAB.

What happens to a persons mind to make them post paragraphs upon paragraphs of absolute shit about a player they hate? Does my king jokic really make this nigga seethe THAT much??

What the FUCK is this gay shit in my Pistons game?

>>146832327
Who is KD, a borderline top 20 player, to decide who a top 10 player is?

Jokic is just the beneficiary of one of the weakest eras of basketball since the 70s, with MVP criterias changed and lowered so statpadders like Westbrook and Jokic could win them

>>146832328
I'm just tired of the glazing your DEI MVP constantly gets when he's never beat a 50 win team in the playoffs and his only ring came from beating an injured Jimmy Butler and having the greatest playoff riser in NBA history as a sidekick.

>>146832339
He knows who's above him

>>146832392
Bitch ass nigga thinks he's better than Lebron because he beat Lebron after he joined GSW. Everything KD does is to hype up his own legacy; he can diminish his own losses if he pretends Jokic is somehow a top 10 player.

>>146832328
Some people just make hatin their entire personality so they physically cannot appreciate greatness even if it ACKS them it the back and gives them season ending whiplash.

Jokic is not better than;

MJ
Lebron
Kareem
Duncan
Kobe
Magic
Bird
Hakeem
Shaq
Hakeem
Steph
KD
Wade
Kawhi

At minimum

Oh cool we got a new schitzo and it’s a leaf. Great

jokic is good
i don't care where he ranks at all-time
he's now helping Westbrook (and Saric) to get his ring and that's the only thing that matters

GODic saved the entire sport

>>146832413
>greatness
Greatness is things like getting a quadruple double, DPotY, scoring titles, steals titles, rebound titles, three-peating, etc.
Not statpadding during the regular season and getting DEI MVPs.

>>146832441
>MJ won 62 games without Pippen for half the year, won the chip and completed a second three-peat
>Jokic loses to the Washington Wizards
Volumes

>>146832299
>Never said he was this year.
not this year, EVER. he has NEVER been a top 5 guard in the west and never will be one. no persecution complex needed, he is not good enough and cannot play enough games
>he was willing to play GM to get Westbrook but do nothing about the gaping hole in their roster that is the back up center
nuggets used the mle on saric and drafted daron holmes who could be competent in the ag mold, both fell through. if you blame jokic for their lack of a center instead of like booth (those moves, hartenstein) or malone (huff and anyone else) you're insane
>Why single out Murray when none of the Nuggets did the same
are you actually retarded
you keep going on about how murray peaking for like 2 months in 6 years means I have to rate him, but then pretend you didn't watch team usa's playoff games at the olympics to try and win an argument
>he's simply unable to take over games when it counts and will his team to victory. He needs other players like Murray to do that because he has no dawg in him and has zero killer instinct
ok yes you are just retarded
enjoy the dbz fancams or whatever, because murray's never earning a single individual accolade, and he's gonna end up a footnote in history at best

Have YOU given thanks to GODic yet today, anon?

Good job, Pistons bench

Rockets will lose today, and my nuggets will be 2 wins away from 2nd seed

jokic gonna win his 2nd ring but that wont matter because they lost to Wizards in regular season

>>146832247
He wants a ring before he's out. He's going to the Celtics bench to be the 8th option, filling in when Pritchard needs rest.

>>146832468
>you keep going on about how murray peaking for like 2 months in 6 years means I have to rate him
Those 2 months are the most important in basketball. I'm sorry Jokic's regular season statpadding has made you think otherwise.

>but then pretend you didn't watch team usa's playoff games at the olympics to try and win an argument
I did in fact see Jokic give up another double digit lead and get BTFO without Murray there to close the game for him.

>enjoy the dbz fancams or whatever, because murray's never earning a single individual accolade, and he's gonna end up a footnote in history at best
He will be another great "What if" then. I hope they trade him within the next 2 seasons so Nuggets can get an actual All-star and still lose all the same. Maybe then y'all will wake up and release that Jokic isn't actually as great of a player as stat nerds and non-players pretend he is.

>>146832493
>jokic gonna win his 2nd ring
LOL

Isn't it crazy how Jokic is "supposedly" the best player in the league and the "greatest offensive player ever" and yet none of the other teams even see him as a threat or build around beating the Nuggets? Or the Wolves of last year did that and they nearly got swept in the WCF.

>>146832500
Seriously though, would Himmy even start on the Celtics? He sure as hell couldn't get signed anywhere for "Jaylen Brown money," which is ironic.

There is no need to be so upset, GODic will rid you of all your seethe.

>>146832509
Yeah, it's going to be OKC vs Boston, Boston in 6, unfortunately.

The Raptors will be back on top eventually though. At least they aren't on the bottom.

the wolves scored 17 points in the first quarter, they are down 5 to the mavs who are still without lively and doncic and thompson

Oh lawdy it’s Rockets basketball time
This time we host the Cavs in Houston. After the winter storm lets see if the boys can get hot again.

>>146832544
>he doesn't play like a circus
That's literally all he does. Makes le flashy passes and scores le tripple doubies and then loses to the Wizards.

>>146832501
>Those 2 months are the most important in basketball
we are ALMOST there. you have ALMOST achieved self-awareness and logical consistency
now
what would it mean if someone claimed this, then ignored players' form in a month of competition that only comes around once every four years and has a great deal of personal and patriotic significance, and instead brought up their form in the following nba regular season?
would you think they have an argument that they're trying to force, regardless of the facts?
>Maybe then y'all will wake up
why don't we try another hypothetical, a great "what-if"
what would you think if jokic actually did play without murray for two years (but still had his contract on the books taking up over a quarter of the cap), he made the playoffs anyway, only lost to the eventual winner or finalist, and in those losses he had a 25% higher average gamescore than murray did in the 2023 playoffs?
this is only a hypothetical of course, what would you think about such a situation

>>146832570
Losing to the Wizards is nothing to be ashamed of. They have lost so many games that now it is statistically very unlikely that they could lose more.

>>146832544
Jokic has both flash and substance.

T3333333333KKKKKKK

>>146832575
>then ignored players' form in a month of competition that only comes around once every four years and has a great deal of personal and patriotic significance
I already told you; he was injured missed half the games because of his contract disputes. He also wasn't part of the team from the year earlier, so there was always going to be chemistry issues.
>what would you think if jokic actually did play without murray for two years (but still had his contract on the books taking up over a quarter of the cap), he made the playoffs anyway, only lost to the eventual winner or finalist, and in those losses he had a 25% higher average gamescore than murray did in the 2023 playoffs?
He'd lose in the first and second round because statpadding doesn't lead to wins and he isn't making his teammates better. Nobody gave Kobe or Lebron credit for carrying bad teams, but when Jokic does it worse, he gets an MVP? Very sus.

>I already told you
nope but nice try, the part where you pretended bron and steph and team usa weren't good at the olympics
>statpadding doesn't lead to wins and he isn't making his teammates better
or perhaps even the most competent and teammate-elevating player can't compensate for a $30-50m dead weight, and if that hole was filled with, say donovan mitchell or jaylen brown or someone similar making less money than jamal that year, the nuggets could've won
your thought process goes like this in abstract: the guy doing 30% of the work once every 3 years is better than the guy doing 70% every night, because the guy doing 70% only wins when the guy doing 30% shows up. also the guy doing 30% has the same gay flag as me, so he's top 5 in the west

>>146833046
Jimmy is washed, his career is over so now he is trying to bluff his way to more money because he can no longer play his way to it. In order to bluff he is pretending that he is just refusing to play good instead of openly admitting that he is no longer capable of playing well (he never was btw). Nobody is going to trade anything for him because nobody wants to pay out the rest of his contract and get zero in return.

It doesn't mean anything if they can scrape out a victory over the Jazz or if they lose, the truth about SGA has been laid bare either way. OKC with HH would be winning by 40
