2018 NBA OFFSEASON

100%

maybe they should make KAT promise to try harder if they trade jimmy

lol

hahah perfect

the concept of the celtics starting 5 6-8 guys who all shoot the 3 has admittedly captured my imagination im sure the wolves wld be psyched to get kyrie straight up (not sure the celtics wld even do that deal/what their feeling is about the prospects of kyrie resigning) (not sure id want them to do it since i love kyrie but it wld be interesting)

I hope they wouldn't do that. Jimmy's a great talent but I bet he's no fun to play with. He's the Thibs of players.

jimmy is just a little too close to his decline years for me to be interested in acquiring him...lost in some of the drama in minn is that extending him isn't a slam dunk decision for that reason.

the 6-8 celtics wld be so good defensively tho itd be insane

what if they traded gordo for him straight up

naw theyve got got hayward on a longer contract hes a lil younger not a team cancer and its a bad look to trade big name free agents that signed with you

+ it wldnt accomplish the 6-8 super team

coming off a big ass surgery tho

its a bad look to trade big name free agents that signed with you

worked for the clips :)

is Butler a cancer tho if you don't have another star on the team who's coasting

yeah i mean who knows maybe hed be happier on the celtics, tho lol that detail in the clip spottie posted upthread about the celtics worrying hed be mean to hayward

Teams he's on regularly suffer the malignancy of having to play extra games in April and May.

its a lot to ask frankly i support kat using all his vacation days

Lol

fwiw the butler trade went down before the celtics signed hayward so the story might be bs or maybe the celtics already knew they were gonna get him idk

iirc the explanation at the time for the celtics not getting butler is the bulls were asking too much and i think there was something about them wanting to wait til after free agency to trade, also didnt they try to trade for him at the deadline or maybe im confusing him with paul george

yeah, i think their primary concern was signing gordon and they wanted to hold off on all other business until that was done.

i was down with the celtics getting butler way back when they didn't have a complete roster but now i am against it

trade butler to the dubs for ai imo

i just keep thinking about how seeking mismatches in the playoffs has become such a thing eg getting a durant on kyrie matchup and like what if the celtics had no little guys to pick on

yup, i have been thinking about how kyrie coming back is good but complicates the 5 switchable guys thing that worked so well for them last year in the playoffs

what if everyone was the same guy just thinking out loud

TEAM OF LEBRONS v TEAM OF GARNETTS

team of butlers would be interesting

he is for sure the type of guy who gets salty about misreporting the day of the meeting.

btw this lee jenkins clippers thing is wild, i mean i've heard worse ideas but just very strange on everyone's part

it does seem odd.......

ESPN story on SI's Lee Jenkins joining the Clippers front office. Jenkins tells ESPN: "This team is interested not just in what players do but who they are -- how they're wired, how they're motivated -- and that's an area I love to explore." https://t.co/RVawHbc0Yp

all their press releases are gonna be like 5000 words now

lol

seems like the clippers are thinking "wouldn't it be cool if a journalist were embedded within a team" but given that why would anyone be motivated to tell him anything?

it sounds like hes part of some mindfucking scheme

lol poly otm

yeah it could just be some halfassed myers-briggs stuff

Kevin Durant was joking around about joining the Rams ... I like that even in a football scenario he'd prefer to go to the most talented team

are the rams the best team now? thats rude to move to LA then suddenly be good

they're a chic pick to win this year. if they add durant then forget about it!

imagine him getting tackled lol my god

he'd look hilarious in a uniform

prob wouldnt look too far off from a young randy moss

Philadelphia has hired Elton Brand as general manager, league sources tell ESPN. Brand will be elevated from VP of Basketball Operations. He made strong impression on ownership and Brett Brown in process, beating out several inside and outside candidates.
