“Only” haha

Let’s see who we got at #12: Nick Collison, Steven Adams, Jalen Williams, Cason Wallace (traded 12 to get at 10), Nikola Topic. We might not need that top 4 pick.

Okc is well built for the current CBA. 

Edit: 2019 Steph-KD Warriors

With this draft the Clippers era handouts finally come to an end lmao

AND the thunders big 3 account for 90% of next years cap. So this years their best shot at winning one more title. They are in no way shape or form retaining Caruso, hartenstein.

2019 also had the pandemic which uniquely screwed the Raptors beyond the well reported stuff ie Siakam not touching a basketball for months due to the lockdown and not being able to cross the border

If Pascal wasn’t so bad in that Celtics series, the Raptors probably go back to the Conference Finals. Beyond that? Who knows.

why does no one remember the short off season between 20 and 21 because of the bubble? every team that went deep in thr playoffs in the bubble had like 0 rest and ended up getting injured the next year, lakers included

The “bubble squad” were just behind the Jazz in the West when injuries started to hit them. They were 28-13 when Hill injured LeBron, and that was with AD already being out for a month.

They finished 14-17 after that LeBron injury, but beforehand, they were still considered the strongest contender in the league and arguably better than the previous year’s squad.

This makes me feel weird about my team potentially reaching the WCF 3x in a row. Deepest conference and consistently finishing it in second place

2021 lakers were really good, but like every other deep bubble team they got wrecked by injuries from the short offseason

2021 Lakers absolutely could’ve repeated if AD didn’t get injured in the first round.

2021 Lakers were a great reload and cruising to the 1 seed before the injuries to LeBron and AD.

2024: the Knicks

I understand OP. I was just pointing out that getoffmydickerson cannot call that Warriors team as his own. 2018 Warriors would have worked too.

He was not. Go back and watch those playoffs. KD has better numbers because every team chose to play him straight up and double Steph.

If KD was the bigger threat, the opposing coaches wouldn’t have done that. Players were leaving the lane wide open for KD dunks to double team Steph.

Yeah sure there’s no chance his teammates weren’t trying to soothe his ego because they knew Steph didn’t give a shit

lol. He should join pacers.

Kawhi said i need a second star or i wouldnt come. They tried to sign KD, he had plans with Kyrie in Brooklyn. They tried to bring jimmy, he wanted his own team so he joined heat. They tried with Beal and Harden, both teams refused to trade them. Paul George was the last choice.

Eh, all those images look like fake AI slop

Now the Supersonics, that’s a KD photoshop you could set your watch to!

No way are we retiring his jersey

We don’t want him back

He would get booed every night if he came back

No thanks, dude ruins every team he joins at this point.

A game?

They barely lost 3 of the 4 games
