    @Fitzy going crazy in NBA2k again, congrats bro. Hang those e-banners. :emoji_thumbsup:

    Did you force trade Bron to the celtics roster or just put the game on easy mode?

    We'll never face Bron in a meaningful game again, bruh... And we'll be in the NBA Finals this year. Do the math.

    :lmaooo:

    Apparently you didn't hear the KD to LA talk is already getting started? Yeah yeah it's just talk...for now. But you telling me Bron+KD+that young core(some of which would be entering their prime by then) couldn't beat the warriors(without KD obviously at that point..)? If not KD, then Klay, Kawhi or someone is obviously coming next year.

    Lakers gonna be in the mix sooner than later, maybe even this year..who knows. Could always be a deadline deal, injuries to other teams, plus hard to count out playoff Bron.

    KD isn't going to LA, stop lmao. Why would he leave a younger, more talented team that OWNS Bron, to join LeBron and ruin his legacy more by joining a better player than him?

    Enjoy Celtics vs Warriors in the Finals the next few years bruh lmao

    People are really kidding themselves thinking Bron isn't gonna hit a cliff very soon, you can give all the generic excuses like "he's a physical freak" "he's 33 now and still at the top of his game" but go ahead and look up how many of the best players of all time did after age 33 and lmk

    So twolves got Wiggins and Kat locked up long term, bet they wish they kept LaVine now since Butler's probably gonna be traded..Wiggins+Kat+couple decent young pieces back from the Jimmy trade could still be a nice team though.

    Yeah I don't think Bron makes it longer than that. Part of Kobe's downfall was the huge minutes he played before that injury

    In those seven games, Bryant averaged 28.9 points, 8.4 assists, 7.3 rebounds, 2.1 steals and a block in 45.6 minutes per game. In his first 71 games of the season, Bryant had played 80 percent of all possible minutes. In the final seven games: 95 percent, resting for just 16 minutes, 45 seconds.

    "I had never worked so hard in my life," he says.

    Bryant's 319 minutes in those seven contests mark a staggering figure that only Ray McCallum (320 minutes from March 28 to April 8, 2014) has matched since.


    This season alone, he's played at least 40 minutes 30 times—more than the past two seasons combined (28). Following the victory over Golden State, the Mamba had played in 40 or minutes in seven consecutive games, and that wasn't even his longest streak of the season. Earlier in the year, he received 40-plus minutes of burn in 10 straight contests.

    Even Jordan, who played 40-plus minutes 39 times during the regular season when he was 34, never managed to string together more than three consecutive contests while eclipsing such a mark.

    I liked LeBron and defended him for years. But now he's a Laker so he's dead to me lol f--- him. I hope Kawhi and Butler go to the Clippers, Kyrie goes to the Knicks, and KD either resigns with GS or even makes things right and goes back to OKC (if they can even afford him? Idk) that would be awesome. Hope no one goes to the Lakers

    KD ain't going to LA. He wants to keep beating LeBron, not play with him. He wants to win more rings than him and go down as the better SF than him. Can't do that if they're on the same team lol. And if he did go there... any rings they win is meaningless lol 2 of the 3 best players on 1 team.... would be so lame

    @Big Mitch have to imagine Richardson is involved, maybe even sending out TJ and picks to another team w/ cap space?

    Richardson and Dragic to Minnesota, suns get Tyler Johnson and Jeff Teague, and Miami gets Butler and Troy Daniels or somehow takes on Dieng if Phoenix didn’t. That trade may not even work but it’s likely something like that. Sounds like the Kings wanna get involved too. I think Butler is in Miami by the end of the week regardless, maybe by the end of today.
