2016-2017 NBA THREAD V11: Ainge is a terrible GM

[iwhoopedbatman]

The point is that it's illegal and the league is turning a blind eye if not directly facilitating. Not hard to be a Dunny-tier fleecer when you've been given the keys to the league castle

He has those keys because of who he is and what he means to the league. A-level fleecer, imo.

 

[iwhoopedbatman]

But in all seriousness, fuck Bern and the Cavs.

Failed Experiment has been playing nicely since the break.

Random stat: When playing more than 31 minutes (12 games), he averages
20.3 PPG 5.3 RPG 6.2 APG 1.8 SPG

Who is failed experiment again?

I just question all these teams being so willing to cooperate with LeBum

Bogus, Dercan, Korver all added during the season for literally nothing

Like what the hell do these teams gain by buying out a player after the ASB? Could Dallas not have received like a late 1st or 2nd from Toronto or something for Dercan? Could Philly not have received a late 1st round pick from Houston or some other yoff team for Bogus?

Stfu

lmao, if lebron was still on the heat you wouldn't be saying that it's illegal.

must be a conspiracy

I want to see how the league gets Milwaukee to give up the Greek Freak. 5 years at 3 million per for him is wasted on that shit canchise. If they do manage to keep him for his whole contract, I wonder how they manage to fuck it up.

League has been rigging things for lebeta in canland since he left. They landed 3 #1 picks and 1 #4 pick in the draft in the 4 years he was in miami. That translated into kryrie, then wiggums/bendit which they traded for lerv, and pisstain; since he returned to canland, teams keep relinquishing players to go play there with little to no compensation.

If adump silva isn't pulling some strings and giving them something in return for their apparent incompetence or collusion, then nothing in the league makes sense. What motivation would any of those teams have for making the idiotic moves they made, either via trade or just releasing players and getting nothing in return?

Lol at Zaza...

Doing everything

 

[clutchCAT420]

when you come back into town and check news. Kd out for the gswussies. Im against injuries to superStars. But nothing like seeing gswussies fans rustled. LmFAO!

 

[Money509]

This derrick williams mofo has been balling out for legoat and the cavs ever since they signed him. Add bogus and derron williams and its a sweep. Scrubs might not even win a game this finals.

Not really. He was unable to win for 7 years until Riley built an unprecedented superteam for him. Then that ran its course largely due to Wad's injuries and league owners revolting to make it near impossible for Miami to add pieces and the whole thing ended with pussycramps and LeBum leading the most brutal Finals defeat in NBA history. So LeBum needed a new superteam and Cleveland capitalized on unprecedented lottery rigging to build him a new superteam. Now we're seeing unprecedented midseason signings lol

tl/dr: LeBum is just another superstar who can't win jack or shit unless he's being extremely coddled on every level

 

[faustian]

lmao, if lebron was still on the heat you wouldn't be saying that it's illegal.

When LeBum was on the Heat the entire league was throwing rustlemania and rewriting the CBA to make future life hell for Miami's superteam

"Superteams are bad for the league" -- Dan Gilbert

But apparently superteams built on lottery rigging are cool

 

[HomerThompson]

Jefferson with some youthfulness on that dunk.

Well they're probably gonna max a fat guy who's blown his knee out twice so that's a start
