The rebuild is ahead of schedule? And paul George was washed which is why we traded him and got back pne of the greatest draft hauls in history, thats a unanimous fact, not an opinion. So you're actually complementing preti on his ability to trade players for more than they're worth. Good observation. Also, spelt isn't a word. It's spelled* fun to watch you correct my grammar with made up words. Most teams attempt rebuilds with no success. We won a ring and are set up to win many more with cap space to sign and keep players. Stay mad. Tell me about your hometown team

I need your guys opinion, so Im going into my senior year for highschool and im moving schools, i previously won a district championship and went on to lose in the finals for states, at the school im moving to their basketball team averages 4 wins max and doesnt make districts or states. Do I still play basketball for them or no?

I averaged 13 points per game for varsity

I was the 6th man off the bench

Yea but I don’t really want to go from a team that wins a district championship every season to a team that only gets 4-5 wins a season

You got a plan b?

It’s either go play for the bad team or drive 30 minutes to keep playing for the school im leaving

[swift timber]

What are these trades

Tingus pingus

Desmond

Kd

Jrue

None of them seemed fair

Oh AND poole

[charred storm]

poole's career end here

[stuck solar]

I think if either get moved, it'd be for a haul. White is on a very team friendly deal all things considered, and is the perfect glue guy/role player. And Brown is a former finals MVP with an insane amount of talent, the perfect #2 on a championship team

[steady wyvern]

Yeah 100%

Boston is in a good place, besides for JTS injury

I do wonder who they’ll bring in for tingus pingus tho

They don’t really have a starting c do they

Maybe luke kor but he’s getting a bit older now

[stuck solar]

But Brad Stevens wouldn't accept the trade unless it was for something insane. Like the only reason the KP trade was so lackluster is because they pretty much needed to get off his deal to get under the salary cap, and they did at least get a 2nd round pick and an expiring contract, even if I don't like Niang a ton.

So Kornet and Horford are both free agents

the only true Center that's currently on our roster right now is Queta

[steady wyvern]

Oh true I didn’t think about the cap

Boston will pick up someone decent they always do

[stuck solar]

yeah they were above the 2nd apron and if they didn't get under it, they would've had to pay many millions of dollars just in luxury tax for a team that may not be able to make the finals, without having Tatum.

[stuck solar]

which leads me to believe that Hauser may get traded for a Center, and/or we'll try to resign Al for a small deal (because he's older), though Al may wanna try to go to a contender to win them a ring

[steady wyvern]

I think they’ll make ecf with their current roster, but without Tatum even that’s a stretch

They’re definitely a deep playoff team, but without their star it’s gonna be rough

[steady wyvern]

I can see this

[wispy oxide]

I think it'd be tough to compete with Orlando, NY and Cleveland without Tatum, KP and Jrue

[steady wyvern]

oh yeah I didn’t think about the jrue move

Was that for salary as well I’m guessing

[wispy oxide]

Yeah

[steady wyvern]

yeah that’s rough

[wispy oxide]

They got Simons which is fine

[steady wyvern]

Great young player just not much defensive presence

[wispy oxide]

But I think the defense and depth that made them special really isn't there without those 3

[steady wyvern]

exactly my thoughts

but who knows they might do good they might not

We don’t know yet

[wispy oxide]

If they have their own pick I wouldn't be surprised if they just tried to tank for a season

Get a high pick and come back with Tatum healthy and another young guy added to the mix

[vague orchid]

[bitter finch]

Anyone know of a good jump shot visual cue timing all day for a catch a shoot 97 3 ball

[unique mango]

Try Base Lamelo or Base Curry with Release 1 Kobe, Release 2 Oscar Robertson. 60/40 blend. Visual cue: release it right as the ball gets above your head, super clean for catch-and-shoot. Green window’s big too.

[bitter finch]

Lamelo or curry @unique mango

Plus I used the button do that matter @unique mango

[unique mango]

Lamelo if you want a quicker release — smoother for catch & shoot. Curry has a little more arc and is better if you green with timing. I’d go Lamelo if you’re spotting up a lot.

[unique mango]

That don’t matter just try to time it right

[bitter finch]

Ok I'll try in the morning morning

Thanks

[unique mango]

👍

[bitter finch]

@unique mango forgot to say I'm also 6'1

[unique mango]

Nice, that height works well with those releases since they’re quick and smooth. should help you get those greens on catch and shoots consistently. Let me know how it feels after you try it

[bitter finch]

@unique mango I will

@unique mango I got deadeye limit range mini marksman or set shot. On legend which one works best for me

@unique mango only can equip one 1 lol stupid 2k

[unique mango]

Set Shot all day if you’re catch & shoot — easiest to trigger and super consistent. Limitless is cool if you’re pulling from way out, but Set Shot’s gonna pop more. Deadeye’s mid unless you’re trying to be Trae Young 😭

[bitter finch]

@unique mango bet thanks I will definitely try this when I get home

[unique mango]

Aight

[drifting moth]

nikola jokic 2.0, mark sears, we stacked

[obsidian sandal]

how to shoot 3s

[unique mango]

😂

[bitter finch]

@unique mango shot timing profile real low normal or high risk just curious

[unique mango]

Go real if you’re consistent with timing. it gives perfect releases most of the time and works best with Lamelo or Curry base. Normal is the safest for most players and low kills your green window, so I’d skip that unless you’re js trolling

[bitter finch]

So I can't get Kobe for release 1

[unique mango]

yeah, Kobe’s locked to certain heights or builds. If you can’t get him, try Release 1: Ray Allen or TMac, both are smooth and have clean visual cues. Still pairs nice with Oscar for Release 2. Keep the 60/40 blend.

[bitter finch]

Nope can't even get ray or tmac

6' 1 ht 190wt 6'3 ws @unique mango

[unique mango]

Dang 2K rlly hatin on the short guards this year 😭

Try Release 1: CJ McCollum or Darius Garland — both are solid for smaller guards and have that smooth flick. Still keep Oscar as Release 2 and run a 60/40 or 70/30 blend depending on feel.

[glossy dagger]

Any1 tryna run 2s?

[bitter finch]

@unique mango let me try

[unique mango]

What you play on

Release speed all day way and 60 Oscar
