yeah its just they have all these other big contracts even if they unload lowry theyre kinda still in the same boat just not as good

sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:20 (six years ago) link

tho getting whatever they can for their guys going full rebuild and waiting out the contracts they cant move is prob the best plan, def a bitter pill to swallow when u finish first in yr conference, idk maybe masai can work some magic and rebuild the team on the fly w/o bottoming out, tough task in this case

sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:22 (six years ago) link

The perspective of a Raptors fan like me is that it's never been as good as the past 4-5 years and finally there is some basketball at the forefront in Canada, to blow it up might send us back to the dark ages.

Van Horn Street, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:24 (six years ago) link

could just shuffle the deck you know, lateral trades with other players stuck in similar situations?

Also Masai is very good and really in the end I blindly trust him.

Van Horn Street, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:26 (six years ago) link

it's not his fault his top 3 players wet the bed when it matters most.

they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:27 (six years ago) link

At night I go to sleep and I'm smiling because I know that what I'll be dreaming of is Boogie signing to Toronto as a FA don't wake me up you monsters.

Van Horn Street, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:27 (six years ago) link

man i would want NO part of boogie post achilles tear

they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:28 (six years ago) link

yeah thats a might risky path, tho if you could get him on a two year deal with a team option for a third it might be a worthy hail mary for the raps, prob have to do a sign n trade with the pelicans for valanciunas + filler

sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:32 (six years ago) link

cld def see boogie taking a big short deal since prob no one will want to commit long term, tho the political situation if brow is demanding he be brought back cld force nolas hand

sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:33 (six years ago) link

we're gonna learn what kind of GM skills brow has. is he draymond or is he lebron...

they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:35 (six years ago) link

he seems really loyal to boogie but he cld just be talking that way for appearances sake who knows

sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:36 (six years ago) link

i mean looking at how they played after boogie went down and then learning anything about recovery from a ruptured achilles shd send anyone running in the opposite directions but maybe brow just doesnt think like that

sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:37 (six years ago) link

really the best thing wld be for him to force a trade to the celtics

sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:37 (six years ago) link

theire ceiling is higher w boogie but yeah, they should just invest in putting the right pieces around brow.

they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:40 (six years ago) link

the right pieces around brow are gordon hayward jaylen brown kyrie irving et al

sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:41 (six years ago) link

actually its steph, klay, kd and dray

they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:42 (six years ago) link

hmm no that seems bad

sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:42 (six years ago) link

FA Boogie is as much about Boogie than it is to convince, at least to ourselves, that Toronto can be attractive place for FA. I think the window has very obviously shut for this generation, but that it can use the talent to build goodwill around the franchise.

I say this and I am not aware about how bad an achille tear is :’(

Van Horn Street, Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:44 (six years ago) link

basically the worst injury a basketball player can get

sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:45 (six years ago) link

if the dubs added brow i think they cld go undefeated

sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:47 (six years ago) link

most athletes do it in their mid 30s so there is some hope there. the only positive ones i can remember are dominique wilkins and i guess uh michael crabtree?

only way this happens is if KD wants out at some point

they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:49 (six years ago) link

yeah theres no way from a salary pov but imagine if he was just magically on the team next year, or even better if he was on last years team

sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 19:50 (six years ago) link

the number of turnovers embiid makes from doing pointless shit is out of control, badly needs to hone his game down to stuff hes actually good at / get good at more stuff

― sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, May 10, 2018 2:32 PM (one hour ago) Bookmark

embiid shooting 3s and euro stepping and stuff is cute but he really needs to learn like how to pass out of a double team and also how to... pass out of a single team

J0rdan S., Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:02 (six years ago) link

ha yes

they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:02 (six years ago) link

Philly gonna have some FA juice now at least.
Nobody's mentioned Brett Brown. My buddy loathes him. Unfair to place the blame on him but do think he's a middling coach at best.

xp Embiid is so young and relatively inexperienced. He seems smart tho and hopefully he's coachable.

gotta ride w brown at least for one more season i would think. 76ers should be going full bore at paul george imo.

they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:05 (six years ago) link

yeah not real impressed with brown as a coach, love his olde timey maine accent tho

sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:05 (six years ago) link

oh yeah george wld be perfect for them

sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 20:05 (six years ago) link

hey no hoop for three days, what should we do?? how about run another feature about lebron vs mj!!!!!

if dray hits his 3s its game over, if not its game on

sprout god (lag∞n), Thursday, 10 May 2018 23:49 (six years ago) link

/or iggy

they call me melo gelo (Spottie), Thursday, 10 May 2018 23:51 (six years ago) link

thats kinda how it always is vs that team though - dray isn't actually a good 3pt shooter in the aggregate so you need to live with his because theres no other release valves
