2017 NBA OFFSEASON

trade wldve been a lot cooler w/o the top 1 protections tho

ainge would look like a brilliant hero if they got the 1 & 2 picks

a genius with a four leaf clover shoved up his ass

(he is kinda a genius but w/e)

draft question will be: how far will ball fall and will ball bounce up at the last moment?

iggy talking himself into leaving

i think lonzo would be a good fit on the celtics

they could use the shooting at least and if he's 6' 6" he could play alongside 2 guards and they'd prob be ok

also think he'd be a good fit w/ stevens. both two guys who see the floor preternaturally.

this video is interesting tho. lonzo is clearly a good leaper especially when combined w/ his size but he really is like weirdly stiff.

yeah it wld be hard to pass him up but he worries me hes got a lot of talent but is so unsound

there are moments in that video where he looks like this guy

i dont think i can really say he provides shooting with that form its too easy to defend taking weird stepbacks to avoid getting yr shot blocked is p much a non starter

the thing w/ his shooting for is def an issue. i read or heard that he has tons of trouble pulling up off the dribble going in one direction bcuz his form is so wack. UCLA apparently tried to change it on a preseason overseas trip and lonzo shot poorly and lavar called the coach and was like "we're done messing with his form"

otoh the celtics are a secure/strong enough organization that i think they could basically tell lavar to fuck off. the lakers, kings etc could not

he wld have to completely rebuild his shot, pretty insane project at his age

wiggle is the new nba draft buzzword

lonzo seems really far outside of the danny ainge zone

truth

it's true

if they want a player whose main selling point is scoring i think they'll just take tatum

if the player can shoot, that's a red flag -danny ainge

hahaha

there's one thing we won't tolerate from our guards: the ability to consistently make a jump shot

its be unfair to the other teams and the coaching staff wldnt have enough to do

man remember when the wizards got slaughtered by kelly olynyk in a game 7

that feels like so long ago now

gotta think based on the trade they made that they arent really interested in ball

look how appalled danny is here at the red flags exhibited by this opposing player

yeah they would have just taken fultz if they actually wanted a guard

kelly o dominating a game 7 was sick hope he realizes it dawns on him he can do that sort of thing more often and has the chance to wherever he ends up

I was impressed by mccaw in the offs, dude played like he belonged

Seemed like he could easily slot into a patty mills type role- strong bench guy for a contender who can mix in with starters any time

Boston Celtics‏
@celtics
Danny Ainge says that he believes the player he will select at No. 3 is quite possibly the player he would have selected at No. 1.

Meet Danny Ainge, contrarian.

The Cavaliers, per league sources, have been working today on assembling multi-team trade scenarios to try to acquire Chicago's Jimmy Butler

seems like cleve doesnt have the pieces to get this done

yea not seeing it

would be rad to have butler obv but it ain't happeninf

BREAKING: the cavaliers, per league source, have traded LeBron James to the Bulls for Jimmy Butler,

ah ok that makes sense actually

unless they cld movie kyrie for butler and a point guard... like isaiah thomas

hmm that person is a point guard

celtics get kyrie and love bulls get all the celtics draft picks cavs get isaiah and butler

wld be cool to get the cavs a functioning 2 guard too

cavs also get wade lol im sure this is all super impossible re the cap and so forth but its good imo

also somewhere in this process lebron accidentally gets traded to the denver nuggets

kevin durant is playing baseball in japan??

he always was

wow

he got his ring on the 1year contract, now he can move on to his next pursuit

The Cavs and general manager David Griffin will part ways according to sources
