The Official Dwayne Wade <<<<<< you thread

Vanderbilt is legit. Fuck I love him. Those arms are everywhere. Wouldn’t hate for Beasley to hit any of his open 3s. But Lakers curse is real

It's not a curse bro, Bamba is the best 3 point shooter on the roster, what can we expect.

Everyone we’ve ever signed to shoot 3s drop like 5% when they become Lakers.

Beasley showed up last night though

i actually liked Clippers' deadline day pickups... but now they went and added Westbrook, lord only knows why

We opened up two slots to pick up buyouts and we've done fuckall with it. Unless Meyers Leonard on a 10 day counts as one of them -.-

Couldn't get Reggie Jackson or P-Bev. Was hoping for one of them, especially Jackson

What a comeback.

Freeza was right, Vanderbilt is a boss.

He’s incredible. I love him soooo much

Imagine getting a player like that as a throwaway man

Art was right, Poole rinsed the Warriors, son has somehow gotten worse this season. Hopefully we can get some good role players for him in a trade.

Durant out again 4-6 weeks that's bs

what's everyone's honest thoughts on the Warriors this season?

anyway, awesome to see Klay back to his best at least offensively

Jokic or Embiid for MVP? I thought the Joker had it in the bag, but Embiid's gone beast mode.

Dallas might not even make the play-in. Not a great look for Luka and Kyrie.

Embiid. They should have given it to him last season anyway, and now with all the racism talk surrounding Jokic's name in the race, they'll def go with Embiid.

Last year i voted Embiid who maintained his level of excellence to this day, i think he did not win in 21-22 because too many games missed

Jokic is 1st in the west with insane efficiency and influence, a masterclass every match. No matter what that jealous bozo Perkins said about racism, another bad take to his lengthy record if anything.

Giannis is taken for granted. Literally the best player of the best team, if he is not there Bucks are not the best team anymore.... definition of a MVP

Those 3 deserve to win, my vote goes to Embiid to make up for last year, but all 3 have met the requirements and would not be scandalous winners.

Mind you the race talk around Jokic started with some randos on Twitter. There's this one African American Warriors fan on twitter who was at the forefront of it, think of the worst attention-seeking loud-mouth female you know... that's her x10. Unbelievably annoying bitch that says the weirdest dumb shit for clout in general.

And i yet i still follow her to spam her nasty ass.

Talking of the Warriors, what's the deal with Wiggins? I know he's out for personal reasons, but damn it's taking long...

Also, I really really really hope the Pelicans make the play-in and Zion is back by then. These guys were leading the West before he got injured again.

no one knows what's going on with Wiggins, Warriors have remained tightlipped about it... however there have been some random rumours that his girlfriend cheated on him with his best friend, and that the kids they have been raising are not his but the friends...

if true, i can understand how this can be gut-wrenching experience to go through, but jesus surely it can't take that long to grief over it... write that bitch off and move on. Take the rage out by dunking on people's ass.

I saw that rumour, but as far as I could tell there was zero credibility behind it, just some random twitter post. Surely he'll be back for the playoffs, right...?

i'm skeptical at this point...

Supporting Lakers is masochism.

call me crazy, but in the situation of parity and mediocrity that we currently find ourselves in with the West this season, i'd still put most of my trust in Steph Curry and LeBron James

In the category of most random picture i submit...

Lakers up to sixth One of Lakers, Clippers and GSW will end up in the play in, and at this moment it doesn't look like the Lakers.

Trades were really effective at the deadline.

Every time I said something like this it always went to shit for Lakers.

wdym? Lakers are literally still 7th, Clippers currently have the tiebreaker over them. They play each other next so that's going to be the deciding factor you feel. Both of them still play the Suns too. Looking decent for the Warriors, especially if they beat the Kings.

Wiggins is back btw! apparently his dad was very ill

Ah, GSW - OKC wasn't over when I checked the standings so Warriors were 7th.

Still very close

Your votes for individual awards ??

I have

MVP: Embiid
ROY: Banchero
6MOY: Portis
DPOY: Mobley
MIP: Brunson
COY: Mike Brown
GMOY: Sean Marks

I think the coach of the year is obvious, in other awards many players have a case except maybe ROY where Keegan Murray is the only other candidate. I read many people give Brook Lopez the DPOY, which i disagree because there is a better and more versatile defender in his team in Giannis.

As for MVP the race is so close that not giving it to Jokic or Giannis because they already had it becomes a valid argument. Embiid is a monster this season, he deserved it also last season for carrying a scandalous 76ers team. His time has come... before the inevitable 2nd round exit thanks to Doc Rivers poor coaching

MVP: Jokic
ROY: Banchero
6MOY: Brogdon
DPOY: JJJ
MIP: SGA or Markkanen, can't really decide
COY: Mazzulla
GMOY: Pelinka

Jokic is my boy, lets get that 3-peat. Banchero has no competition really, for 6th man everyone is saying Quickley but I haven't seen a single Knicks game tbh so I go with Brogdon because I like the Celtics and he's never came off the bench before I think. Lopez has been a beast defensively but JJJ had a rough injury plagued career so far so seeing him and the Grizzlies do so well won me over. As for MIP, I think SGA is the man because his numbers are outrageus, what a jump. I have given up on Markkanen so seeing him up there makes me happy.
