2017 NBA OFFSEASON

NBA BACK BABY

i've been a staunch danny defender in this whole process but out of paul george, jimmy butler and kyrie i think i like kyrie the least

i think the read between the lines here is that the celtics think the nets are gonna be better than one of the three worst teams in the league

they just might be

so what does the celtics depth chart look like now?

lol celtics fans who had killed danny for hoarding are now losing their minds.

lots of "the 2018 nets might be better than you think" articles now getting swept under the rug.

we'll never know what happened with butler and george but i don't think it's fair to say danny was 100% of the lever on those guys coming/not coming to boston

yeah by all indications both the pacers and bulls just "preferred" the terrible trades they took for whatever reason

those boston youngsters better be ready to contribute

thing abt kyrie is hes younger than george and butler and doesnt have a boner for los angeles, only thing of great value they sent over was that bk pick really, guess well see if kyrie is ready to do stuff besides score

that's the big question, i find kyrie to be an uncomfortable weirdo who doesn't do as many basketball things as he should.

hes def capable of doing more weve seen him do more its just a mindtype scenario from here out friends

trading that bk pick cld def blow up in their faces but its prob the right move on the percentages

a percentage of this from the boston end has to be hoping that kyrie is motivated to murder lebron in a series

making a big trade for a guy and telling him hes the man when thats what he wants should be motivating

guess well see if kyrie is ready to do stuff besides score

jordan, dont do this

i will really miss rooting for IT

absolutely cannot mentally picture IT and lebron as teammates idk why

yeah IT rules

can't wait for the nba finals where every single play is just a series of picks until either steph or IT is defending a bigger player

oh god lol

wont happen tho since bron is gonna trade himself

lmfao wow

Kyrie: "Excuse me?"

lmaoooooooo

aaaa wtf

I know all metrics type stuff says trade Thomas for kyrie ten times out of ten but I still don't wanna do it

which metrics are these? the biggest thing kyrie has going for him is old-school small sample size playoff voodoo

Also height

age

metrics have IT as a slightly better player but kyrie is younger and less of a scary guy to max

slightly better player in 2017 i mean

i will miss kyrie's dazzling and magical finishes but cad otm he is an uncomfortable weirdo and I'm really really psyched to have IT and crowder!! overall I feel really good about this we just added some very good and really likeable players

feel like I gotta stream some Boston sports radio tomorrow

there are like 2.5 guys on boston sports radio who even have a cursory understanding of the nba just fyi

felger and mazz don't even sound like human names

lol.

within the parameters of what they do i actually like felger and mazz a fair amount but neither of them knows a single thing about the nba

makes sense if they're prioritizing #1 seed

listening to the ainge press conference "weve offered picks of this caliber for a handful of players that just didnt work out for whatever reason"

also he keeps calling kyrie "one of the best offensive players in the league" lol

hey danny's a straigh shooter

wow considering the pick and how hard it is when teams know a player wants out, I love this trade for the Cavs

this season is going to be really interesting viewing. we'll finally settle the debates by seeing prime kyrie run his own team

by settle the debates i mean continue to debate but in a different context

what's the story on Ante Z?

lot of ppl on the twitter seem to think the celtics way overpaid but kyrie having two years left on his deal makes it pretty different than past disgruntled stars wanting out situations, also his age
