basketball transfer world is so strange to me
in soccer you just pay more money than anyone else, it's gross but it makes sense, do not at me

basketballs way is better, soccer has like 7 good teams across its two best leagues and they never change unless a new billionaire buys a team

wow guess you hate job creators
― k3vin k., Sunday, 24 June 2018 01:29 (five years ago) link
dont get me wrong its billionaires all the way down but basketball just has better competitive parity / the game itself makes u think abt billionaires less
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 24 June 2018 01:34 (five years ago) link
also while were hear it wld be better if all the best soccer players played in the same league (champions league a tourney not a league) shd have a euro wide premiere league
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 24 June 2018 01:35 (five years ago) link
also ballers much more likely to become billionaires themselves, its good

Markelle Fultz’s new trainer describes him as having the “yips” https://t.co/Ebo8fl7K5P— Kurt Helin (@basketballtalk) June 24, 2018

not sure how i'll feel if kawhi goes to the sixers for a package with fultz in it
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 24 June 2018 14:20 (five years ago) link
I would feel bad
― EZ Snappin, Sunday, 24 June 2018 14:36 (five years ago) link
yeah much rather have ingram
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 24 June 2018 14:40 (five years ago) link
yeah but if the sixers package two first rounders (incl that 2021 unprotected miami pick hmmmmm) and saric
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 24 June 2018 14:59 (five years ago) link
idek i think im mostly hesitant about LAL trades bc fuck the lakers and bc i have no idea what ingram's ceiling is

sixers with kawhi would be awfully good tho.
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 24 June 2018 15:17 (five years ago) link
allow me to break it down
1. the celtics destroyed the sixers in the playoffs a month ago2. the celtics are adding kyrie and hayward3. the sixers are adding kawhi and losing prob redick and saric
how does this not shift the competitive balance even further in the celtics favor
4 ben simmons was utterly exposed
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 24 June 2018 15:20 (five years ago) link
kyrie-jaylen-tatum-hayward-horford
vs
simmons-redick-kawhi-holmes?-embiid
would be fun
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 24 June 2018 15:20 (five years ago) link
the sixers are rootless bizarrely overrated team and no one knows what kawhi will look like not on the spurs after missing a year weirdly deep in his feelings
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 24 June 2018 15:21 (five years ago) link
simmons is not playable at point guard vs a prepared good playoff team, did anyone watch the celtics series, simmons is also useless without the ball in his hands, in conclusion simmons has major problems everyone shd put away their future mvp predictions at this point
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 24 June 2018 15:23 (five years ago) link
he was a rookie, calm down
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 24 June 2018 15:25 (five years ago) link
like dont get me wrong he's got PROBLEMS but they're workable

whats yr big plan to make a guy who needs the ball in his hands but cant shoot or really get to the hole in the half court into a superstar
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 24 June 2018 15:29 (five years ago) link
shooting coaches exist
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 24 June 2018 15:30 (five years ago) link
he literally has the most broken jump shot ive ever seen, it looks exactly like hes setting up to shoot with his offhand
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 24 June 2018 15:31 (five years ago) link
shawn marion exists tho

pfft sometimes
― 21st savagery fox (m bison), Sunday, 24 June 2018 15:33 (five years ago) link
there are some guys who can talent their way through bad form, kevin martin comes to mind, but mostly it just doesnt work to shoot from the wrong side of yr head
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 24 June 2018 15:34 (five years ago) link
imo the best plan is rob to turn him into a point center but at this point he has zero post moves and can only finish with one hand which is tough
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 24 June 2018 15:35 (five years ago) link
kawhi is a very methodical player wonder what hell look like when he leaves the most methodical team in the league, my guess hell take a step down from his mvp candidate play to more of a paul george esque very good two way allstar level
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 24 June 2018 15:41 (five years ago) link
also like who knows where his head is at, feel like theres pretty big downside risk in making a big trade for him, especially if the team that does it is dysfunctional
― sprout god (lag∞n), Sunday, 24 June 2018 15:43 (five years ago) link
25 teams are dysfunctional

because it's totally possible that the sixers have the 3 best players in that series?
― k3vin k., Sunday, 24 June 2018 18:05 (five years ago) link
for real. kawhi, assuming healthy, is better than any one player on the celtics. celtics definitely deeper in this hypothetical though, but that matters less in the playoffs.

arguing about the future usually requires someone to invoke hovercraft and personal jet packs, or their nba equivalent
― A is for (Aimless), Sunday, 24 June 2018 18:08 (five years ago) link
not sure why having the 3 best players is a metric that matters if having the 2 best players didn't
― ciderpress, Sunday, 24 June 2018 18:09 (five years ago) link
fwiw i dont think simmons will be better than tatum or that embiid played better than horford, but with a little time i think embiid will be better than horford and simmons makes some leaps. shit's all speculative at this point obv.
