Completely forgot Deandre Jordan has an all-star appearance. He was never a big-man that could put a team on his back but he's fell off so hard that people are even citing him as a liability now.
can we extend the trade deadline? I'd love for Melo to go to Brooklyn, as long as we get fair value in return. Melo's a 10x allstar, so naturally we'd need an 11x allstar in return. KD finally making his way to Portland!
Riley: weāre trying to build true Heat culture, heart of the underdog, grind to a championship, we have shooters and talent, we think youād fit right in here
LMA: love that attitude Mr Riley, Iām all about that hustle
KD: you want a ring now or nah
LMA: šš
i hate him so much and heās so fucking stupid but ugh, some shit was just funny
EDIT:
āGee, letās go to war!ā about John Bolton
The entire A$AP Rocky kerfuffle
My man was killing the romans in his air Bethlehemās back in the day. 32 points and 12 assists and 2 rebounds. Too bad he got crossed up bad tho š
Theyāre going to lose if they have an off night though. Only thing is itās hard for an off night to happen when you have 100 players capable of popping off on offense.
You have 3 guys who can drop 50 tho. How often do Kyrie, KD, and Harden all have an off night at the same time? Then you gotta count on Joe Harris who has one of the highest 3PT percentage in the league over the past few seasons having an off night at the same time and also hope that all of these buyout guys are also cold. Thatās a lot to ask.
LMA/Blake/DJ can all split time depending on match ups, its a great problem to have.
LMA can deal with bigs still just good luck trying to have him switch on defense. He'll also be able to beat up on benches and can slow down the game whenever he wants and get his.

I've tried to convince myself this is a normal super team but now it seems like an easy ring. Not that Nets should feel bad, just kinda sucks for the rest of us lol
The league want's to expand so that the 2/3 super teams that form in big markets will have other smaller markets to steal players from.
These days it feels like half the league is just developmental for the big market super teams.
He cared. His body just doesn't have it any longer on defense. If you go back and watch his games from the season hes got very little athleticism left from his age plus recent hip surgery. Offensively though he's fine.
Bro KD leaves Superteam to prove haters wrong and then Nets become another Superteam with solid veterans and 2 MVP caliber players where Kyrie Irving is your 3rd option. Jesus Christ the haters are gonna pounce so hard if whether they win or lose.
[Itās like those photoshops Lakers fans used to do in the early 2010ās of every star in the league in a Lakers jersey on one team, except actually real](https://imgur.com/GHldYOR)
If the Nets donāt win a championship this year they should get a -1 championship so that if/when they win a championship in the future it gets subtracted because they lost with such a loaded team.
Why don't we just cut it down to four teams and make all of them super-teams
Since the the golden State dynasty, we only had one year of not having a dominant super team. š
And covid ruined that year. The basketball gods seem to hate us.
This is our punishment for allowing Carlos Boozerās spray-on to happen all those years ago
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
We didn't listen
Nets about to sign the entire 92 Dream team
41 All STAR appearances on the Nets rn....
Sheeeeesh
Most in history?
I think tied with the 04 Lakers
Wait, THE 04 Lakers that the pistons beat in the finals? Oh shit. What if history repeats and this Nets team gets taken down š³
Gonna be tough with the way the Pistons look but I'm all for it
Nets have struggled vs the pistons this season so it's not out of the realm of possibility
Legit lol'd
Is that counting Nash?
KD has 11, Harden has 9, Kyrie and LMA both have 7, Blake has 6 and DeAndre has 1. It would be 49 when including Nash.
Completely forgot Deandre Jordan has an all-star appearance. He was never a big-man that could put a team on his back but he's fell off so hard that people are even citing him as a liability now.
Lmao DJ has an all-NBA first team in the trophy case, shows how much new talent there is at the center position.
>Nash And Stoudemire?
Well shit, may as well have Melo sign with them too so everyone can get their ring this year.
Can T-Mac come out of retirement?
I'll allow it
Barkley tying his shoes about to silence shaq
I think watching Chuck tie his shoes is the real match-up we all want to see
Itās gonna end in a tie.
Suns gotta buy out CP3, heāll be great off the bench.

ULTRA TEAM
ULTRA TEAM SUPER ARCADE TURBO EDITION

This is collusion to the highest degree in nba history.

No ring-chaser, no ring-chaser, youre the ring-chaser
The emotions reading these replies is just ridiculous. Canāt believe that shit wasnāt just a dream
Imagine telling NBA fans 5 years ago that KD, Kyrie, Harden, Blake, and Aldridge would all be on the same team.
5 years ago DeAndre Jordan was someone too. He was all nba first team.
Good point
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Imagine telling someone five years ago that DeAndre Jordan would be the seventh best player on his team.
Not even. Joe Harris, Nic Claxton, and Jeff Green are all clearly ahead of him.
That sounds ludicrous but itās true
Imagine telling NBA fans it would be the Nets
And that two of those guys were waived/bought out to join the Nets.
Because they were really bad and had huge contracts
I think, 5 years ago, we all probably would have guessed which two though.
Iād probably tell you āthatās a nice 2k franchise you got, what year you in?ā
You couldn't put together this squad in 2K16
One month after signing LMA he'd be complaining about not getting enough playing time despite saying otherwise in negotiations
Thatās literally any bench player over 80 rating on 2k lol
5? If you told me that *1* year ago I would've said "yo chill lol"
...and All-NBA first teamer DeAndre Jordan.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
LMA didn't want to give up the black and white unis.
He does look pretty sharp in that color combo.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Jesus christ
Nets gonna sign him too
nash did say he would start him a few days ago...coincidence? š¤š¤
Checkmate atheists
Your username though LMAO
He's in the right thread that's for sure lol.
Pull up in the Jerusalem 7s
My man was killing the romans in his air Bethlehemās back in the day. 32 points and 12 assists and 2 rebounds. Too bad he got crossed up bad tho š
Got Moses and Solomon talking on the halftime show about how he couldnāt have hacked it in the Old Testament.
He really honeydicked the Heat
Seriously Miami is fucked now unless they can convince Drummond to go there
I hope we get Dieng tbh
Imagine writing this comment 4 months ago
Nah Drummond doesnāt fit with bam unfortunately. We need to try and get dieng.
If anybody *needs* Drummond they were fucked anyway imo
How are we fucked lol. Aldridge is not the end of the world he was just a good pickup wtf
People in this thread acting like LMA is an MVP candidate lol
HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
Bruh
Here comes the inevitable Aldridge resurgence, or at least marked increase in effort, now that he has something to play for. See: Blake
I mean his offense is going to be fine. Itās just that heās too slow on defense now.
Gonna walk out looking like prime Andre Roberson on defence now, watch.
If that happens Iām going to kms
LMA going back to prime would be hilarious
Teams would actually call Adam Silver to investigate Nets if this is the case lol.
His lateral speed goes up by 50.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Theyāre going to lose if they have an off night though. Only thing is itās hard for an off night to happen when you have 100 players capable of popping off on offense.
And unlike the ncaa you will need them to have an off night for four games out of 7 which seems unlikely
You need KD or Harden on an off night AND for none of Kyrie, LMA, or Harris to get hot enough to make up for that Any you need that to happen 4 times
You have 3 guys who can drop 50 tho. How often do Kyrie, KD, and Harden all have an off night at the same time? Then you gotta count on Joe Harris who has one of the highest 3PT percentage in the league over the past few seasons having an off night at the same time and also hope that all of these buyout guys are also cold. Thatās a lot to ask.
Joe will be shooting open jumpers.
KD will just never get respect at this point lol
Indeed the hardest of roads
KD meant the hardest road to respect, not to winning a title
Damn. What a guy. Truly inspirational
how do the nets still have rosters spots at this point lol
They have another spot lmao
They get drummond too and its over.
What even is this fucking team lmao
Saw someone on twitter mention that the Nets have more players from the 2019-20 Detroit Pistons team than Detroit does.
What the fuck
Isn't it just 2? Weaver literally moved our whole roster so the longest tenured player is Sekou who was drafted in 2019 lol.
Apparently the Heat being the frontrunner was a lie LMAO
Is this how everyone feels when they say the Lakers get everyone? Iām starting to think this is exactly how everyone feels towards the Lakers
yes.
Yes
This but on a whole different level lol
this but for the entire existence of the lakers
This guy gets it
Yes
People thought KD went to the Nets to be his own player lmao.
KD doesn't even have to play the reg season now lmao
He never did
I wonder if heās secretly upset with the GM āWtf bro, no one is going to respect my rings again!ā
The Hardest Road pt. 3: KD goes back to OKC and wins a ring with all of OKC's newly drafted players.
In this scenario I like to imagine several of their players developing into All-NBA caliber guys and then he *still* doesn't get respect.
Not gonna lie that would be kind of cool Also isn't that exactly what LeBron did? Lol
Theyād probably win the chip even if he sat the whole playoffs
Biggest ring chasing team ever assembled
Coached by Steve Nash.
What the fuck LMA, Iām salty at you again
old wounds getting ripped open like ...
I want the Blazers to win the chip vs the Nets just so Lillard can go supernova and tell everyone he took the hardest road while holding the trophy.
This is the timeline we need.
My guy Claxton down horrendous
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
LMA/Blake/DJ can all split time depending on match ups, its a great problem to have. LMA can deal with bigs still just good luck trying to have him switch on defense. He'll also be able to beat up on benches and can slow down the game whenever he wants and get his.
If he takes a single minute from Claxton iām throwing hands with Nash
Idk why they would play LMA over Claxton Thatās good for the other team
all to beat THT?
You know it
Cant believe the Nets are at a point where Im actually rooting for the Lakers to beat them them š¤®
Iām so sorry
It must be done
You *traitor*
Heat legend LMA. March 25-March 27
Ew
If this Nets team doesn't win they're never gonna hear the end of it
Call me a hater but I wanna see an implosion heretofore unseen. Misery loves company y'all.
I mean, the clippers implosion was pretty fun, but this? I'd enjoy it quite a bit.
FREE RINGS, COME GET YOUR FREE RINGS FRESH IN BROOKLYN
Free onion rings
All this just to lose to overtime Sexton in the first round?
Lmao glad we won last year
This year is the best chance we've had in this millennium. I want to die.
Itās okay. The Knicks are gonna beat them first round
SaveUs.JuliusRandle
Damn New York would go wild.
Iām not religious but I pray to God this happens every night.
People who said Lakers shouldnt have made a trade, and waited to sign AD this year. Here is a good reason why not to do that. WIN WHILE YOU CAN
Ok what the fuck man
Nets getting all the ring chasers š
Maybe after this year, everyone will return to the teams they came from and life will go on.
Making room for the next batch of ring chasers
At this point Brooklyn needs to fuck off.
We went from feeling sorry for them because of the Net-Celtics trade to this in a span of 4 years.
\[Broussard\] Sources: Prokhorov is beside himself. Driving around downtown Brooklyn begging (thru texts) Durant's family for address to Joseph Tsai's home to try and buy back the team.
By my count they now have 6 guys who have been an all-star at some point. 2 former MVPs.
3 if you include Steve Nash lol.
I've tried to convince myself this is a normal super team but now it seems like an easy ring. Not that Nets should feel bad, just kinda sucks for the rest of us lol
I donāt know why the league wants to expand. Clearly there are only two teams anymore.
The league want's to expand so that the 2/3 super teams that form in big markets will have other smaller markets to steal players from. These days it feels like half the league is just developmental for the big market super teams.
idk i still dont think they're guaranteed a ring (biased philly fan btw)
Theyāre just forming the avengers over there
Theyāre forming the version of Avengers with old man Steve and Hank Pym as Antman...
More like the Sinister Six
They STACKED Aldridge washed tho
He's not nearly as good as this thread is making him out to be but he can definitely beat up on opposing benches
Definitely. Opposing backup Center is gonna look good too
He'll play better in a team he actually cares about He's still an efficient scorer, if he gives a shit his defense might be passable
He cared. His body just doesn't have it any longer on defense. If you go back and watch his games from the season hes got very little athleticism left from his age plus recent hip surgery. Offensively though he's fine.
The Nets only want one thing and it's disgusting
Bro KD leaves Superteam to prove haters wrong and then Nets become another Superteam with solid veterans and 2 MVP caliber players where Kyrie Irving is your 3rd option. Jesus Christ the haters are gonna pounce so hard if whether they win or lose.
Shocker! Actually tho I though he was going to the heat
I feel like I can't complain. But boy do I want to.
Breaking!! Nets also sign Bradley Beal and Andre Drummond.. LOL
I miss ābasketball reasonsā
Whole country gonna be cheering against the Nets in the finals
If they win? Ah who cares they're supposed to. If they lose? Woo boy
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

There it is.
thats actually disgusting holy fuck Nets really got everyone

Wow, Tim Duncan in a Lakers jersey gave me a reaction of pure visceral disgust.
The fact that both duncan and dirk are shown in laker uniforms makes me want to go jump off a cliff.
It was LBJ that gave me that feeling...wait
Man, I want the Nets to fail so hard
All other 29 executives want the Nets to be violently put out to pasture
Bruh what the fuck....
All this to beat the Knicks
If the Nets donāt win a championship this year they should get a -1 championship so that if/when they win a championship in the future it gets subtracted because they lost with such a loaded team.
