Congratulations to the 2016 NBA Champions, the San Antonio Spurs.

 

[Starphoenix]

Apparently even with Duncan, Ginobli and Parker returning, and offering Leonard a max contract, they are still going after Aldridge. Wonder if that means they are going to let a lot of the free agents walk?

 

[UnObtainium17]

Yay!



Although I'm not as sold on Ginobli returning...

Jesus Timmy will probably play till his legs get detached from his body.

As for Manu... Just be a family man bro.

 

[uncredited male]

Rose's contract expires in 2 seasons so next offseason he will be quite lucrative to a lot of teams with that expiring max. A team could also go after him now and consider next season a trial run for his durability.

Either way, Chicago has major questions they will be trying to answer.

Josh Smith said #Rockets are ready for a physical series. Team can 'lace 'em up' if needed. No time to be passive in WCF. #Rockets #Warriors

Lmfao that headband of brothers shit.

Yay!

Good news. I like the Spurs core + Kahwi despite being a Rockets fan. It'll be interesting to see what they can do next year. Manu is basically a corpse but w/e.

Guys (Ninja Scooter) don't forget that the ping pong show is on tonight.

I'm going to laugh my ass off if Sixers get first pick.

If Philly gets our pick we're tanking again.

 

[alr1ght]

Philly is going to get 3 lottery picks. Hinkie the genius.

That joke of a human being has made it further than you have in life. You just sit behind a monitor everyday and repeat the same hate over and over.

You need help man.

I can't recall, but have you wished death on him yet? You most likely have and I missed it.

lol Matrix

 

[friskykillface]

#1 Lakers
#2 Knicks






76ers gets last pick and exposed for tanking by Silver himself

 

[Fjordson]

Whoever goes #1 better take Karl Towns. Thank me later.

 

[Andrew Korenchkin]

LOTTERY!!!!!

GO LAKERS!!!!

 

[Lambtron]

Whoever goes #1 better take Karl Towns. Thank me later.

I have pretty intense fear that IF the Wolves get #1 they'll draft Okafor. Barf.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

The 2015 anti-tanking lottery, for honor and justice

#1 Charlotte
#2 Indiana
#3 Phoenix

I have no idea if Indiana or Phoenix still own the rights to their picks. Charlotte does.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

You say that as if Okafor is a scrub. Dude is an offensive beast. Needs work on defense, sure, but many players do.

 

[Tom Penny]

As long as the Lakers get the 6th pick it's a success..

Lol. Poor old mamba.

He is, but the NBA is about adjustments, working continuously on your craft to improve. That's the most important trait besides the usual things and in that area KAT seems the better choice.

 

[HabeeNo]

Alright boys. It's all or nothing tonight. The whole season of disappointment and bloopers need to pay off.

Please Basketball Gods, give the Knicks #1 or #2

Come on guys...keep the filthy tank talk out of this thread...

It's the process, not the results. Picking Okafor (his agent is Flip's good buddy) over KAT is poor process. That's my concern. I'm sure Okafor will be decent but the Wolves two best young players (Wiggins & Shabazz [another where despite the decent results was drafted due to poor process]) are both post scorers and they have no defense. I don't think Okafor is going to help there. KAT can help stretch the floor, which they need. I want Towns or Russell, but I'm expecting Okafor or fucking Porzingas.

You should get a mod to add the year to that thread title at least.

I just put in a request..

 

[Trey]

They'll be second in the east and probably best Chicago in a seven game series. We all know how this goes.

Then go bet money on it.

Yeah, I should've. I wonder what the odds on this kind of bet was.

 

[shwimpy]

Who's the loser that gets to represent the Lakers in the lottery?

edit - It's Byron Scott.

Paul Pierce: One time, he asked [Joakim] Noah if he could rub through his hair, like a female or something. … And I know that kind of made [Noah] hot. And this was when Noah was a rookie, too. I remember Noah looked up to KG. He was like, "Man, KG, I had your poster on my wall, I looked up to you, man." And then [Garnett] just said something like that, and was like "F--- you, Noah." I was like, "Whoa." This kid fresh out of college, looks up to KG, just said he had his poster on the wall, and he tells him that! It crushed him. It crushed Noah.

 

[neptunes]

San Antonio needs another Parker, with similar floaters

The Big Ticket too real.

 

[Fjordson]

Crazy that Okafor is a teenager. Bruh sounds like he's pitch shifting his voice down.

 

[shwimpy]

wtf is going on? just announce the winners (losers) already.

 

[alr1ght]

#1 won't be announced til a few minutes before the game. As a lottery veteran, there's a lot of BS.

 

[Fjordson]

Knicks stay losing.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

FUCK
DA
KNICKS

 

[Line_HTX]

Hello again, NBA-GAF. This West Finals is going to be interesting. I'm cautiously optimistic, but I'm preparing myself for an ugly beatdown. I feel the Rockets are going to be overmatched and outplayed >_>

Put J.J. Watt at the 4 position and we'll have a one-two big starters

 

[Surge]

Poor Knicks...

 

[Xplatformer]

Good luck Lakerage

 

[Fjordson]

Wow. Lakers getting their big man.

 

[Tom Penny]

I'm so shocked to see the Lakers hit...

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I'm a little disappointed though cause this almost certainly means we're not going with Winslow unless he blows people away in workouts.

Please Minny, take Okafor.

 

[Forceatowulf]

Lakers future looking bright@ the 1, 4, and 5. But who's gonna replace Old Snake doe...

 

[Xplatformer]

Good job. Unless Boogie is coming to LA...or Gasol...the Lakers drafting big.

 

[Line_HTX]

This damn lottery RNGod...

I'm praying that Harden doesn't turn the ball over like pudding and actually defends.

Spoiler

Maybe tone down on the flailing lol. Reminds me of Ginobili.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I'm glad we didn't lose the pick but to be honest I kinda wish we were drafting 4th instead of 2nd so Okafor would be off the board. I am not a fan of his and an Okafor/Randle frontcourt would get killed defensively. Draft Winslow and go after DeANdre in free agency or something.

 

[UnObtainium17]

Knicks stay losing.

Poor Knicks...

Lakers gonna be respectable next year! How about that!

 

[Xplatformer]

GAMETIME!!! GO DUBS!

 

[Redd]

Congrats to Lakers and Wolves fans grabbing the top two picks.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Knicks Lost is the motto. Always has been always will be.

 

[Line_HTX]

May I ask, what is this "Dubs" thing?

 

[shwimpy]

Nah, one more year of tanking.
