Ben Simmons and russell westbrook
Hope you happy if ur win today
damn, curry over Tim Duncan, Hakeem Olajuwon, Kareem, bill Russell (11 rings), magic Johnson, Oscar Robertson
but an opinion is an opinion I guess
No offense but I hope you lose
We have been bad this first half but have luckily stuck in the game
Ah ok, I sadly canāt watch but I hope the lakers win š¤
Yeah we down 12 at half
can't wait for the Nets to widen the gap even more
That didnāt happen pal

Yo, the Portland Raps game had so many highlights, there was an elederly man behind me (a Portland fan), cussing at the refs all game
š
@late plover We Light The Beam Tonight!
Had to cut back on energy usage on Saturday.
Hey
Fans!
Luka has 53 points tonight, what a horrible performance
š
Exactly what a pitiful display
How was it pitiful
What a spiteful question to ask
Thatās the Pistons what do u expect from them
The Pistons are tanking for Wembanyama
Doncic just had one of the worst performances he couldāve had against one of the lowest tier teams in the league
He should be ashamed of the game he just had
53 points is down right terrible
True
?? so who won? š
#justiceforLA
Honestly not even worthy of being televised. I rather watch 10 teams over them.
There's always the clippers
yo Knicks fans: https://twitter.com/sneakerhuddle/status/1620434550919946241

Mids š
mid > low
No reason to buy anything but highs if youāre buying 1ās these days
I know the younger ppl donāt really care anymore though which is nice
I love high
My favorite thing about Jordanās is that most of them are not comfortable, most of them are terrible to play in, and Iāve spent thousands of dollars on them in my lifetime
But the are good shoes to collect
Anything but low, but that's just me personally. I think mids and highs look so much better on the 1s
I hate on mids mainly bc theyāre designed as a ripoff, theyāre more comfortable but the quality on them is TERRIBLE
Resellers pretty much ruined the market on highs though
Like I got my yin-yangs for 140 and theyāre now 2 thousand bucks on stockx??
whatchu mean
About what exactly
Hi
this
Mids are made with lower quality materials than highs
oh I'm surprised. But that also explains why it doesn't look as good anymore after I ran it through the washer
Yea i would recommend hand washing jordan 1ās especially if theyāre leather
I never see people wearing 5ās anymore
you put yours in the washer?
was gonna get some
Obviously spend your money how you want to, but a good pair of Jordan 1 highs can last you for an extremely long time.
yeah, was gonna get some unpopular bright jordans
but idk
Always buy what you like yknow

fan, I complain about the
refs.
Ask, and you shall receive: I reviewed every L2M report for every team, and here is the data (in which LAL is 2nd only to LAC in percentage of late-game missed calls/no-calls in their favor): @YahooSportsNBA: https://t.co/IQaUnIarmC
116
Can relate to this
No you canāt. Your team, the
have the second most incorrect calls made in their favor
Being cheated out of the 3 games isnāt really in our favor
Russ arguing with Garyvee is comedy
Most things Russ do in game is comedy lol
Still a legend
heat won but jimmy choke so bad on that throw
Lakers just finally won an OT game
LBJ triple double like to see it
Took forever
ofc it's no
W Shaq
38% of voters dont know basketball
eww no
hell no
Travel issues on the Pistons' flight out of Dallas and back to Michigan have made it likely that the Washington-Detroit game tonight will be postponed, sources tell ESPN. Official word expected soon.
Pistons-Wizards game tonight has been postponed, sources tell me and @JLEdwardsIII.
Rip
If Kareem wasnāt the GOAT why would LeBron at #1 on the list be the GOAT
Exactly
Another example, if LeBron retired before passing Malone there would be zero chance people say Malone was better š
Because LeBron has already secured himself as top 3, for me top 2
And Karl Malone not even top 20 even if you donāt have Bron in your top 3 š
It's ok to have opinions
It's a fact
There are no defined and final lists
Mine
MJ,Bron,Kareem,Bird,Magic is my opinion on top 5, no order besides Bron and MJ
Kobe is the closest thing to MJ
This is true but he wasnāt MJ at the end of the day
Neither is anyone else
Great player for sure, heās top 10 for me
But top 5, thereās a lot to give up for him to be top 5
With concern that the Pistons may not be able to fly out of Dallas until Thursday because of icing issues, thereās obvious uncertainty about the Pelicansā ability to fly into Dallas today for Thursday's game vs. the Mavericks. Pelicans are in Denver now.
Ok Adrian way to ruin a conversation about the garbage Pistons
Fr
I donāt mind Kobe being in anyoneās top 5, thereās definitely an argument for it but thereās too much greatness to pass up for me
this is a bad argument lol
you should define what it is to be great in basketball
2nd best SG of all time though canāt go wrong with that
Lebron isn't great though
Itās a bad argument? :l
he is, in his own right
Nope
youre wrong but ok
Ditched his team for a superteam just to get owned by Dirk
For now
ChefCurry be the type of guy to say "curry, so inspirational" unironically fr
He is
Jordan has been known as #1 for 30-40 years and heās not the #1 scorer in total points
Top 10 in order now
So its more a bad argument to say LeBron being #1 in points all time makes him the best of all time
imo, top 5 is just not that good as a metric.
maybe if you do it by position, or a facet of the game like top 5 defenders. too much talent to pick 5 players, its apples to oranges, too
sheesh
LeBron is 40% in the finals, thatās really what holds him back
After all, the goal is to win a championship. Anything but a trophy is a failed season
lebron is unlike anyone we've ever seen play, he's great for sure. but he needed a superteam to win. so many players, like MJ, who instead of jumping ship decided to make the ship better
The real question is what defines greatness and how do we apply it to players from different positions
Thatās something no one will ever agree on š
Everyone will have a different answer
Different era, position, etc.
1.MJ
2.Kobe
3.Bird
4.Magic
5.Kareem
6.Tim Duncan
7.Curry
8.Hakeem
9.Bill Russell
10.Wilt Chamberlain
I can see by the way curry over here is missing his shots lol
In the end, itās tough to do but still fun to talk about
Highlights*
have you gone back and watched what games are available from back then?
Wilt is like the LeBron of the 60s
Wilt is 10000000% better than Lemickey
Obviously
Wilt definitely influenced and defined most of the nba rules
Wilt got destroyed by Bill a lot of years, and then rekt by Willis Reed after Bill was retired
But I think Bill Hakeem and Kareem are better centers
Can you read?
i just read it. can you elaborate?
elaborate means to explain your reasoning
I know
can you elaborate?
Sure
I wish I still had Wilt and Kareemās autobiography, very interesting reads and they had beef for awhile
ooh, i bet!
They got very interesting stories
I think they each have like 2-3 they mention each other in
Pretty much the beef was, Kareem was seen as better than Wilt. Wilt felt he never got his flowers
Plus some activist stuff
Kareem was a #BLM and Wilt was #ALM
wilt definitely got his flowers, but, so much of his career is just lost to time. not a lot of 60s footage of him.
people that have gone back to watch what's available definitely know about wilt. people that havent just know him as the 100 point guy
Bill Russell won 11 championships in the late 50's and 60's going 11-1 in the finals.The NCAA wanted to stop Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He spent his first season with the UCLA varsity team dunking on anyone and everyone. In the short term, it was successful. Then known as Lew Alcindor, the two-time National Player of the Year didnāt dunk during his final two varsity seasons. But what the NCAAās ban on dunking did was force Abdul-Jabbar to develop one of the most unstoppable moves in basketball history. Hakeem had one of the most nastiest moves ever (The dream Shake) and was cooking the best centers of his decade like Shaq,David Robinson and Patrick Ewing
They failed
Miserably
Wilt is my second favorite center of all time and the 2nd greatest player for my favorite franchise
An Open Letter to Wilt Chumperlame
Itās been several years now, Wilt, that you have been criticizing my career with your friends in the press. Since this pattern does not seem to have any end in sight, I feel that I might as well have my say about the situation.
It would seem that someone who achieved as much as you did would be satisfied with his career. After all, some of the things you did in your time were quite admirable and have given us an enduring set of records for the books. So why all the jealousy and envy?
In trying to figure this out, I started to look for what you would be jealous of, and thatās when the picture started to become clear. Many remember how frustrated you were when your team couldnāt win the NCAA tournament. Your talent and abilities were so great that everyone assumed the NCAA was all yours. But after a terrific triple-overtime game, Kansas lost. You complained about the officiating, your teammates and other things, and then quit, leaving college early to tour with the Globetrotters. That seemed to set a pattern for you. After any tough test in which you didnāt do well, you blamed those around you and quit.
In professional basketball, Bill Russell and the Boston Celtics gave you a yearly lesson in real competitive competence and teamwork. All you could say was that your teammates stunk and that you had done all you could, and besides, the refs never gave you a break. Poor Wilt.
In 1967, your team finally broke through. That 76er team established records that are still standing today. But the following year, the Sixers lost and, predictable as ever, you quit. You came out to L.A. and got with a dream team. The only lack that team had was leadership at the center position. Bill and the Celts took one from you in ā69, and the Knicks followed suit in ā70. People are still trying to figure out where you disappeared to in that series. True to form, after the Knicks beat the Lakers in the world championship in 1973, you quit and havenāt been seen on the court since.
Of course, you came out every so often to take a cheap shot at me. During the sixth game of the world championship series in 1988, you stated, āKareem should have retired five years ago.ā I can now see why you said that. If I had quit at the time you suggested, it would have been right after a disappointing loss to the 76ers. And it would have been typical of one of your retreats.
But after that loss, I decided that I had more to give. I believed in myself and in the Lakers and stuck with it. We went on to win three out of four world championships between ā85 and ā88. The two teams you played on that won world championships, in ā67 and ā72, never repeated. They never showed the consistency that the Lakers of the ā80s have shown. And you didnāt want me to be part of that.
Given your jealousy, I can understand that. So , now that I have left, one thing will be part of my legacy: People will remember that I worked with my teammates and helped us win. You will be remembered as a whining crybaby and a quitter, stats and all
The Pistons and Wizards have been officially told by the league that tonight's game is postponed, source tells ESPN. No makeup date yet. https://t.co/tzXA28v5wq
With concern that the Pistons may not be able to fly out of Dallas until Thursday because of icing issues, thereās obvious uncertainty about the Pelicansā ability to fly into Dallas today for Thursday's game vs. the Mavericks. Pelicans are in Denver now.
Kareemās letter to Wilt
Never say ChumberLame again he would dominate in this weak era
Yep I just read that
So, Bill is better because he has rings in a hof team, alright. Kareem is better because he developed a move and hakeem is, ok well hakeem is number 1 in blocks and number 7 or so in steals.
Weird but ok
That's not why
I don't have a lot of time because I am in class
Bro probably thinks Wilt is better than Kareem because he blocked his skyhook
Give me your reasoning
smh
Kareem had the skyhook
Was kareem dominant? Undoubtedly
Shaq was more dominate then anyone
But its a weird reason that a skyhook puts him over others
Did i say he was the most dominant?
I don't thinkn a skyhook puts him over others
That's the only thing you mentioned when you put him over wilt
Good luck on the test
Hope you achieve the point amount you wanted
I honestly don't know how many I need to get right
But you're rigjt
Wilt at 10 is a little stupid
Curry at 7 is biased
It's not my real list my friend did most of it
I have Wilt at 8th
Behind Hakeem and Russell
Curry is 10th
Behind Duncan
1 more chip though and Curry>Magic
Fair enough
ESPN story on the Detroit-Washington postponement tonight -- and concern over Pelicans' ability to fly to Dallas for Thursday's game vs. Mavericks: https://t.co/z5RQ5XaUcj
Skill wise curry already better than magic
Career though not yet
I agree
Curry should have 3 FMVP's though
Maybe even just 2
Definitely 2015 though
This might seem silly but I think heās lowkey underrated
I donāt hear much about him anymore compared to 7 years ago
I talk about him a lot lol
I can tell š I donāt come to this server often (donāt use discord much)
But in my Facebook groups
Itās mostly Giannis jokic luka LeBron and Jordan being talked about
Mostly luka and Giannis though jokic not getting much love from the groups this year
reminds me of Kobe and MJ talking about who'd win, and they both agree MJ would because of his big hands
Just finished my test and I think I did pretty good
yea, his hands were crazy
he could palm the ball so easily with no effort
Per team source: The Pelicans are staying in Denver tonight because they are unable to make it to Dallas for tomorrowās game.
Plan is for the team to fly into Dallas tomorrow, play the game and then head back home to New Orleans.
I'm jealous. The way he could do a fake pass or shoot
That's what I'm saying
I ended up with a 95/100
The Phoenix Suns are signing guard Saben Lee to a two-way NBA deal and waiving Duane Washington Jr., sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Lee earns deal with Suns after strong stint on 10-days. Washington has scoring ability, averaging 8 points in 13 minutes per game this season.
Who?
about who
Watching that Knicks game last night reminded me how badly Steph curry has ruined the game of basketball
Watched them take 5 3ās and miss each one just to constantly rebound out to outside of the arc
And dunks
basketball has always been changing, and every time there have been people who whined about the changes
When Iām playing in a mens league or local game and every fat idiot is chucking 3ās cause they think theyāre #30 i will cry myself to sleep
learn to block them
swat the ball back in their smelly face
unfortunately I'm a paint presence
whoa there Laimbeer wannabe
That's what my friends call me unironically
(I get techs and rebounds)
I foul hard but intentionally hurting a 35 year old man who just got off his shift and came to ball is psychopathic behavior
ESPN Sources: Suns star Devin Booker ā out for five weeks with a groin strain ā could return as soon as Tuesday vs. Brooklyn: https://t.co/Zv71eRjHsu
Noice, the Suns will prob get the 4th seed
best shooter of all time, but, absolutely!
steph totally changed the game, its really quite impressive
Even as a celtics fan Iāve always had massive respect for steph, total legend
yeah, a lot like kobe... i hate the guy, especially when he's beating us. but you have to respect him
that shot he made from halfcourt vs boston off of that steal has to be one of the greatest shots ive ever seen
Denver Nuggets head coach Michael Malone and his staff will coach Team LeBron in the 2023 NBA All-Star Game. https://t.co/FFhLXAoxjZ

Hey
Fans!
why was Pistons vs. Wizards postponed?
Is king's even a team ?
One of the worst teams in the league
Not even in the conversation
Bad weather
smh weak
Always got to make that beam team post when all these teams are in rebuild mode š¤©š¤©š¤©
Waited 16 yearsā¦Iām enjoying every minute of it
The warriors have lost 7 of their last 8 games @ Minnesota
bro my acc just got suspended
This is a joke
He played with MJ and Scotttie Pippen
He also played against people like Gary Payton and Hakeem Olajuwon
Most people vote by recent news more than by primes
Because they don't take their time giving the vote but just press the guy they don't like
o0o
I donāt mind Ayton on the Mavs but him and Luka would be a terrible duo low key
really? how come?
Wood works pretty well with Luka
Ayton should have been on the pacers but the suns made the great decision of matching when heās fed up and him and the coach donāt get along
Should have been the pacers center this whole season thus far
it's saying my player session expired and it's making me do everything over again, did I lose all my progress
wrong channel
LeBron James is just 89 points away from becoming the @NBA's all-time leading scorer š
When will he break the record? https://t.co/GhkMnMWO0x
Low key I think heāll break it in NOLA. He gon have a big game tonight like 54 points and then drop 41 the next game.
All-Star reserves announced in 36 minutes
I wonder who we see
I think he'll break it against the Bucks
what better way to pass the all-time scorer than by beating his original team playing for the team that he became legend with?
he broke the record with the lakers but yes
2022-23 NBA East All-Star reserves: Joel Embiid, Jaylen Brown, Bam Adebayo, Julius Randle, DeMar DeRozan, Jrue Holiday, Tyrese Haliburton.

Wow
how was AD robbed?
Mj your the best
Technically, a lot of frontcourt players were robbed if JJJ was an all-star before them
for sure he should be starting
does anyone know if damian lillard made it or not?
but not injured players
Lakers loing to the Pacers lulz
NBA TNT crew or NBA ESPN crew?
Randle Holiday and Adebayo are all as compared to Siakiam
snub
biggest one
hiring barkley as a tv personality was the smartest decision tnt ever made

It wasnāt pretty but they got it done LFG

is ingram playing or no?
Yes
yes
š§¢ š§¢ š§¢ š§¢ š§¢
Too many caps
True
luka gon have like 43 tonight
wrong channel
Giannis with another 50 point game, absolutely terrible
What a disastrous game by him
you, my friend, have realized the problem with modern gaming!
may you be free of microtransactions moving forward
just pixels on a screen, often times ones youve already paid for š
i hope you dont!
What a win for the Lakers
they shut the servers down because their business model is to make a new game every year
and its setup to get you to spend more and more every year
not financially viable to continue to run server for games that are years old when you have modern replacements for it
good luck with your refund š
you agree to the terms that the stuff you buy is virtual, and they can take it away at any time for any reason
your money you spent is gone. the money you havent is not. make better decisions
listen man i dont work at 2k lol
23 is my first game since like 13
just dont be a part of the machine, also, dont hate on myleague. its the best mode
im amazed they havent found a way to ruin that too
Bulls won , in my opinion Zach LaVine needs to part ways with the bulls
I do not wanna dis Zach , but he has not accomplished anything significant for the bulls so far
There are other teams who are lacking players like Zach
and in my opinion the best landing spot would be for Toronto
and yes i am a bulls fan
That ain't happening
The record will get broken soon and my instinct tells me that it will happen when the lake show face the bucks
what about Bronny
?
ain't he making it
yea that is sad for bronny
Yep those 60 points needed to pass him can say goodbye
Lebron is finished and never scoring those 60 to pass kareem definitively
it will be the game vs the bucks
Nope wrong
Bron would break the record during that game
Lebron wonāt be able to score 60 points for the whole rest of the season definitely
Jock Landale coming for that scoring record
Mj better
Giannis in the mvp conversation yes sirr
Does it work the same way in MyNBA?
Actually, let me ask that in the right channel...
what do you mean?
Whoās tryna play nba 2k23 arcade iPhone
No one bro

Breaking: Brooklyn Nets All-Star Kyrie Irving has requested a trade, league sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. The franchise has been informed that Irving prefers to move on ahead of the Feb. 9 trade deadline ā or will leave in free agency in July.
Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has told the franchise that he wants to be traded ahead of Thursday's deadline, source tells ESPN.
rip nets fans lol
Bruh they had this same rodeo literal months ago ššš
But why though?! Itās low key dumb he wants to be traded when the man has Kd and a real roster around him
Like they are legit contenders
its either gonna go the same way or go in kyries favor
I mean this in a non delusional laker fan way but imagine the lakers try to trade for him š
The same rumor from the summer
its gonna be impossible sadly
Yeah
Imagine we got rid of Westbrook and replaced him with Kyrie would be such an upgrade
OOOF
kyrie and bron with ad š
that is indeed sad
Sounds like a match made in heaven
As long as Kyrie wants to actually play basketball
thats the hard part about trading for kyrie
they gotta be kings lvl stupid to take westbrook for kyrie
Hey ya never know
true
Maybe Rob can flirt a lil and trick the gm
the nets get fleeced again but this time its the lakers
not the celtics
Durant really left golden state for kyrie
What an excellent decision
6 more days till either kyrie is gonna be gone or durant pleads with kyrie to stay
This is just sad
I feel bad for kd he has to deal with this Kyrie
Kyrie is such a good player he just likes to create drama
the only place were he didn't create drama was the cavs
He had Lebron to do it instead š
lol
these next few days are gonna be crazy
two days ago it looked like the trade deadline was gonna be boring
There were some talks on a new deal for Irving, but no deal was reached and a trade request was delivered to the organization today, sources tell ESPN. Irving can leave the franchise this summer as a free agent. https://t.co/vnNWbUW56S
Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving has told the franchise that he wants to be traded ahead of Thursday's deadline, source tells ESPN.
now we wait for durants trade request
Yeah itās about to heat up big time
in a day the trade deadline went from being boring to being crazy
Who knows maybe they make a trade that still keeps them contenders
Yeah Kyrie alone makes this deadline more entertaining
The Nets recently offered Kyrie Irving an extension with guarantee stipulations, sources tell @ShamsCharania.
Sources said the offer, which was declined, was not well received.
Kyrie makes me want to die
If we get Westbrook for Kyrie I am trading in my nets fan card after many years of service
ESPN Sources: Brooklynās Kyrie Irving has not shared a list of preferred teams, but he has maintained an interest in the Lakers. LA is expected to be among the teams thatāll explore a possible trade with the Nets.
YES YES
Itās all planned
This is staged affair
@cyan sonnet @shut socket you see this?
Lmao
legm is about to cook
Lebron gonna make rob get this deal done
And if Kyrie starts drama legm will make rob trade him again lol
lebron's gonna pack Russ's bag
Iām confident Russ wonāt be a laker by the end of trade deadline at this point
I was actually happy for him earlier this season he was playing the way we needed him to for a small stretch and I thought he finally found his niche
But heās way too inconsistent
Yes
47 mill just to be on the bench
Exactly itās a waste of money
idc if he is a good bench player
If u making 47 mil u should be playing like it
everyone was saying that westbrook was no longer the problem but in reality it was kinda the opposite
the worst thing is that the contract in near unmovable
Reporting with @espn_macmahon: The Mavericks have had previous interest on Kyrie Irving and are expected to explore idea with Nets ahead of Thursday's trade deadline. Like most teams, the Mavericks have had had a reluctance to make significant offers of assets for Irving.
The Los Angeles Lakers, Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks have emerged as potential suitors for Brooklyn Nets All-Star starter Kyrie Irving, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
welp
kyrie should be a laker soon
the lakers went from trying to get fvv to trying to get kyrie
skip still gonna say that this team is trash
Iām gonna be honest I never liked the idea of fvv in the first place
If anything heās been less efficient this entire season than Westbrook
Up until the last few weeks
Also why does Dallas want Kyrie
Spencer is that second guard to Luka
just so the lakers don't get him lol
And when Luka isnāt playing he usually shows up
SMH
Now the suns I understand
Cuz cp3 has been stinky
And a new pg in Kyrie would help them
Yeah pretty much
Among rival teams, there's far more interest in inquiring on Kevin Durant's reaction to Kyrie Irving's trade request and how that may impact KD's future with the Nets.
ha, kyrie is trash
Full ESPN story on Kyrie Irving asking out of Brooklyn after failing to negotiate a new contract extension: https://t.co/djZKjZPKCJ
Yup dude is pulling strings
AD and Ar15 are safe I think
Ar15 is our only restricted player im pretty sure
And max idk
Yall probably dont remember this but, yall remember when kyrie left cleveland(before joining boston) how there was those rumors about him going to the suns?
Westbrook Lonnie two firsts for Kyrie and either seth or Joe
I doubt the nets will accept that
I mean maybe
Theyāre trying to get rid of joes contract probably
But idk
Reporting on Kyrie Irvingās trade request with the Nets and two of the reasons why: https://t.co/dRZcm03YP2
Kyrie with LeBron. yikes
Grizzliesā Dillon Brooks has been suspended one game for striking Cavaliersā Donovan Mitchell in the groin.
CP3 is almost as bad as Kyrie lulz
not as bad or worse onl ybecause he's not going to refuse to play for stupid reasons
suns up 8-7 to the Celtics, Celtics gon be up by 35 at halftime.
Im a suns fan btw
So far, the Lakers, Mavericks and Suns have interest in trading for Kyrie Irving. Still, reluctance remains with making a commitment to a new contract upon his arrival. More here: https://t.co/kS3dTLiwzc

My bad bro
I didn't even cuss him out
He was giving his views and I was giving mine
Ik u were just over doing it a lil
I understand
wolves receive: Irving, some draft picks, nets receive: ANT, 21 bags of hot fries, some soda cans, and play-in pat bev
Refs were horrible tonight
Nooo wolves wouldnāt do that
dont worry bout it. Kings got a bright future ahead of them. As long as Tim Donaghy doesnt come back, kings could be on they win to their 2nd championship šŖ
lol commentator really just called him "brikal midges"
Lol
I wouldnāt be to remorseful he trolls every fan base for losing one game
Yeah and then he blames the refs every time they lose
Alex da kings fan has a special place in our all hearts lol
Klay got robbed of an all star spot
Because we literally have the most wrong calls made against us in the league. Itās literally been provenā¦
#širl-hoops-talk message @cyan sonnet
how
I think in the span of 3 days we might enter a trade frenzy
Probably
good luck to whoever gets Kyrie. I hope it's not us
Same
Legm deciding who to trade for Kyrie šš
Literally
I hope the Lakers get KYrie lolol
rip lakers
Impossible
possibl
Bro how are all you doing today
Nets arenāt doing that
Good
good
Bro who going to watch the pelicans play. bro I think Zion going get this w
eh, dunno what's better tbh because Kyrie is a horrible teammate
Not for Kd
Hahah bro the nets are going to lose and why do they have Kylie in the first place he is just going to sell
Kyrie Kd are the best duo why would nets trade kyrie for Westbrook lol
I mean, Kyrie didn't play for a while because he refused to get vaccinated, no?
That was like 25 years ago forget that
When it comes to playing basketball
hell naw
They are the best
even with the Celtics Kyrie was terrible
this is exactly why I feel like he's super detrimental
Nets can actually contend but he wants to be dumb and ruin it
Probably is
def is
Who do you guys like to see play each other in your guys opinions
Guys Mr king god has arrived
Mr king god Iām a big fan bro
I give you everything in your gracious king god sir
Thanks
Mr king god give me ur autograph
The ultimate king of gods
shaq and yao
but that was a while ago
present day would be curry and lebron
Yes
Kd and mj
Bucks
bucks i think
Mikan vs. any center of the late 80s/90s
Bucks clear celtics
Canāt wait to burn my 10 kyrie jerseys
Kyrie been hated for a while I remember on St Patrickās day last year there was an āF*** Kyrieā chant in the nightclub lmfao
yes, buy more and burn them all to show Kyrie!
Jokes on you I buy them from China for 15 bucks
they make their own?
What
Hurrah lakers have moved up
how is buying from China better if Kyrie still makes money?
Kyrie does not make money off of those jerseys If thatās the answer youāre looking for lol. Idk was just tryna make a joke
oh good.
Same here because I find it dumb to burn jerseys unless you didn't spend money
Ya I pretty much exclusively buy fake jerseys Bc theyāre a ripoff in the US, unless Iām buying old early 2000ās real jerseys on eBay
Itās lame
Enjoy the screen printed 100 dollar jersey while I have a perfect 1:1 copy of a stitched player jersey for 15-20 bucks
Back in HS we used to order crates of them and sell them locally
Made so much money it was insane
holy moly, where
Dm me
Cool jersey
nice
How much was it
Daang nice
Biggie
it's super lame and makes no sense because they still got your money
nice. I think I have 24?
Are those fake?
Yup lol
DMed
The Warriors are going to win against the mavs tonight
prob
With Dinwiddie making special guest appearances
Dorian finny-smith only daym defender on roster, ong
probably not against not-Bucks
do all star points count towards career points?
cause if it does, he should just break the record at all star game
Probably not
does anyone here actually watch the pro bowl?
is Aaron Gordon playing tonight?
ESPN Sources: The Los Angeles Clippers have emerged in pursuit of a Kyrie Irving trade -- joining the Lakers, Mavericks, Suns and others: https://t.co/eVYY9wYqOE
wow the Lakers really are trash
thanks
bro, they were ahead, and now they're tied
youre welcome
yes they do that
the lakers better win this one
we need to climp up to play in status
if it was against a good team, it'd make sense, but they have AD back
what does that mean
Lakers with AD should be doing well, and against Pelicans, they should be dominating
oh
well
No shot we let the pels break there 10 game losing streak
embarrassing
We need that Jazz trade if anything
Kyrie's gonna refuse to play just because he doesn't like crypto
wth they gave up too easily
yeah
Roberto Pelinko need to make a move NOW
this laker team is just not it
davin sits westbrook down when he has a decent game but keeps him in when he has a bad game
this coaching just stinks
rob needs to go grab kyrie
whatever it takes
Darvin has had way to many āhe shouldāveā itās getting out of hand
he got me missing vogal at this point
Literally
His rotations suck
3 guard lineups not playing players who should be played
if the lakers get kyrie darvin is just gonna bench him in fourth or make him come off the bench for pat bev
pat ben gotta be paying darvin to start him
This is a love affair going on between Patrick and Darvin he plays bev at all costs
Literally
hey lakers, who yall want from us? yall want ayton?
the suns are a mess
says the casual
Orlandoās Mo Bamba has been suspended four games and Minnesotaās Austin Rivers has been suspended three games for their altercation Friday.
no
just no
you can keep ayton
thx

Get your money up not your funny up
So cool!!
Each game it looks less and less likely that the lakers make it at least to the play in
Kyrie is the only hope laker fans have
If we get the right trades then play in is a guarantee with a possible play off slot
Kyrie not coming to the lakers lol
Just found out he wants a 4 year deal and the lakers want to give him a 2 year, if they donāt come to a compromise of like a 3 year deal with a player option then this trade simply isnāt happening
Like kg said anything is possible
like Kyrie not wanting to play with LeBron again
yall all suck at basketball ill whoop all yall 1v1 irl
š¹š¹š¹
you sure?
u prob 5"6
Letās get a IRL run in Michigan going
Iāll cook 99% of this discordā¦6ā5 230 bully hall of fame
more like 5'5 320 I bet lmfao
Nah bro Iām not a 2K league player ā ļøā ļøā ļø
Nah this is hilarious š
Random jersey in my collection of the day, today itās gonna be a MJ wizards jersey I got for 20 bucks
Golden Stateās Stephen Curry is expected to miss multiple weeks with a left leg injury, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
This is expected to knock him out for All-Star weekend. The Warriors are still trying to determine severity and exact amount of weeks Curry will miss. https://t.co/oBj6p78Byd
BREAKING: The Brooklyn Nets are trading Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a first-round and multiple second-round picks, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
The Nets are trading Kyrie Irving to the Mavericks, source tells ESPN.
noooooo the lakers š
The Mavericks are sending Dorian Finney-Smith, Spencer Dinwiddie, a 2027 first-round pick and second round picks to the Nets, sources tell ESPN. https://t.co/PUMhhYeDnQ
The Nets are trading Kyrie Irving to the Mavericks, source tells ESPN.
Iām in shambles
Itās better this way
We can get more players for less now most likely
The Mavericks are sending a 2029 unprotected first-round pick, a 2027 second-round pick and a 2029 second round-pick to the Nets, sources @TheAthletic @Stadium. Brooklyn also is sending Markieff Morris to Dallas. https://t.co/EtqlQqQuGq
BREAKING: The Brooklyn Nets are trading Kyrie Irving to the Dallas Mavericks for Spencer Dinwiddie, Dorian Finney-Smith, a first-round and multiple second-round picks, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
The Nets-Mavericks talks accelerated on a trade today, sources said. The Lakers and Nets had several conversations on a potential deal, but Nets preferred Mavs' package -- getting back a point guard and wing to plug in now plus the future picks.
š¦
Mavericks GM Nico Harrison has a long history with Irving going back to their Nike days together - and Jason Kidd wanted this trade. Dallas needed a second star for Luka Doncic and gets him with Irving. Mavs can see how it goes and decide on new deal in offseason.
Yes
Like by 5 pm today we see a trade by then
If they donāt I will die and cry
An unexpected trade that helps us win now
They saw the game, they need to make changes
WTF???
šÆ
Watch we gonna sign a bum free agent instead
Aka Dwight Howard š
Thursday
Isnāt 10 days away
Lol
5 days
Frick are you serious
Yeah
Yeah it ends feb 9
Seriously, the need to make a trade
They will
If they donāt and wait till the off-season I will hurt them
That jazz trade looking tasty
Beasley Conley
And vanderbuilt
Thatās not bad
Which addresses every single position we need
Who would they be trading away again?
Not fake
No way š
Trustworthy source
But yeah i wouldnāt be surprised if kd requests a trade again before Thursday
That would be sad
And spencer will the main pg so he probably gonna step it up
Nets new big 3 is Claxton dinwiddie and kd
Heās returning to Brooklyn
He averaged 20 and 7 the year kd and kyrie were injured
Him and levert were good that season
Yeah him coming back home shouldnāt much of an adjustment
Or something around there
But the jazz trade is better than just Kyrie cuz it addresses literally all our weaknesses
We get a new pg whoās better shooter , Beasley 3 and d wing, Jared defensive center
That was a bad trade from the start
We should run vanderbilt at the 4 heās too undersized for the 5
Only the delusional fans thought that trade was good
@static kelp use bold it still gets the word across
Yeah I was one of those
So we signing miles Leonard
irving got traded to dallas???
š¤£
Lol
Imo it wasnāt, Westbrook actually played good in Washington
Thatās not funny.
Why
Well it donāt matter mike cuz he sucked since he joined lol
Iām just kidding
š¤·šæāāļø
It looked like a decent trade at the time cus lakers added more star power and everyone overlooked the fact that we lost all our shooting
You not even a lakers fan š
š
The roster we had then was more competent for championship then what we ended up with
We wouldāve made a deep playoff run in 2020-2021 if it wasnāt for injuries
We were 21-7
2004 lakers all over again with 2022 roster
Before Ad went out
Whereās luc abah amourte when u need him
Definitely
This hurts for the short term, however long-term it would be better to pick up Kyrie in FA
Depending if he signs with the mavs yeah
Well either way lakers need to make a good trade before the entire fan base loses hope
I donāt think Kyrie wants to be in Dallas. I highly doubt he signs a deal with them
Stephen Curry has suffered partial tears to his superior tibiofibular ligaments and interosseous membrane as well as a contusion in lower left leg, Warriors say. https://t.co/iMaCMUcPp4
Golden Stateās Stephen Curry is expected to miss multiple weeks with a left leg injury, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium.
Which is starting to happen
Bojan trade is for sure back on the table for LA
I sooo thought the rui hachimura trade was gonna help
š
Also tbh Rui is less athletic and quick than I thought he was Ngl
Yeah š
We have got no other choice then to address our weaknesses directly
No more Kyrie whispers
We need to make a sure move now thereās no point dwelling
Lakers need to go into a rebuilding mentality rather than a win now mentality
Thatās whatās ruining them
šš
You gotta dismiss the chat after that remark
Fr
Why you skull
š
š
The Phoenix Suns are prepared to pursue Brooklyn Nets star Kevin Durant should he become available, league sources tell @NBAonTNT, @BleacherReport.
Oh shoot
Ur a lakers fan right
Yes
Apple
No way
KD on the Suns is scary as hell
I seriously am
They are already struggling with a win now mentality as it is
So switching to a rebuild mode would probably make it worse
Oh
Then why do you think we should go into rebuild mode with a 38 year old Lebron and an aging AD
š
Thatās fair idk I wasnāt really thinking about it
We canāt waste these years of Lebron and Ad
This is the time to try win a chip
Sorry
Ur good
Your right
Anyways suns kd
Ayton and Paul would those contracts match for kd
Brooklyn wouldnāt take em
If they took that for kyrie
Then theyād probably accept those two and picks
If contracts match
Idk tho
It seemed like kd was happy in Brooklyn but idk if he still is
It would be weird to see him in a suns jersey
Brooklyn lowkey got off Dinwiddie can create shots and heās an elite ball handler, much better than anything LA could have offered unfortunately
Yeah literally
I know some lakers fans think we fumbled the bag but we didnāt have a perfect re fit of a player to offer like spencer
ESPN story on the Dallas Mavericks landing a trade for Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving: https://t.co/PdkQALS2oq
Brooklyn got a hell of a package for a mf who was leaving and said heād sit out if he wasnt traded
Yeah itās a win win
Yeah we really didnāt have the pieces, I firmly believe Pelinka offered the house but the house wasnāt good enough
Thatās fair
Yeah
Kyrie has left his nuts for a team with a horse mascot. š
nets*
Shouldāve been the suns
Lol
No
Ew
Thatās not gonna help us in any way š
Yeah
Yeah the lakers probably donāt care at all lmao
At this point the trades we should target is Toronto and jazz possibly a spurs trade
Like I said not getting Kyrie doesnāt have to be so dramatic we need more than just a star pg
Yeah
I feel like Thomas is getting traded
He probably only played 3 mins yesterday cus heās maybe getting traded and they donāt want him to get injured
Well if we get a better center in terms of size and defense possibly
Or ham is just an idiot
Idk why we hired him
I never thought it was vogels fault last year the roster just wasnāt good
Yeah
Like a coach can only do so much
He was mainly a defensive minded coach and the team had no defense
Not to mention it seemed like they werenāt even listening to his plays
Exactly
The team was built horribly and he got most of the blame
Yeah
I was never on the fire Vogel bandwagon
If anything he would have been better this year
Because our defense got better
Yeah
In 2019-2020 we were a top 3 defensive team in terms of defensive rating and it made Vogel even better and made things easier for him because his main coaching focus was defense
If you have a defensive coach build a good defensive team and thatās what we failed to do last year
Couldnāt have said it any better
Robby Pelinker wasnāt feeling it lol
Yeah if he donāt make a great trade in the next few days then yes
Yeah he did
Trades
All we have to do is trade for fvv Gary or the jazz trade or even spurts
They are literally all good trades for us
Itās just a matter of rob being a coward
He better step up and make a trade šæ
