so zion gets scanned again in 2-3 weeks to see if he's cleared to start practicing. seems like this is going badly.

yeah you know when youre dealing with time until next scan its not ideal

The Celtics picked up the fourth-year option on guard Romeo Langford for the 2022-2023 season, source tells ESPN. He was the 14th overall pick in the 2019 Draft.— Adrian Wojnarowski (@wojespn) November 1, 2021

the drop off that happened right at the langford spot in that draft is pretty crazy
10. Cam Reddish11. Cameron Johnson12. P.J. Washington13. Tyler Herro14. Romeo Langford15. Sekou Doumbouya16. Chuma Okeke17. Nickeil Alexander-Walker18. Goga Bitadze 19. Luka Šamanić 20. Matisse Thybulle
i guess you'd prob rather have alexander walker or thybulle over langford at this point but it's not like you can necessarily blast ainge for how this played out. you really have to go all the way down to 28-29-30 with Jordan Poole, Keldon Johnson and Kevin Porter Jr. to get to like an actually exciting prospect

the jalen smith stuff is nuts that they're giving up on him this early. not sure "james jones executive of the year" is going to hold up to scrutiny...

didn’t korkmaz get an option declined and then just ended up signing back with the sixers for cheap? wonder if it could be something like that. still a pretty bad pick.

supposed to be auto ejection if you throw the ball like that
from hollinger's column today:
Before you ask, the Suns can’t do any shenanigans here. They are limited to offering Smith the same $4.67 million as a free agent next year (ditto for Memphis and Culver), so if he somehow proves us all fools and has a big year, Phoenix will almost certainly lose him. (This is also an extremely rare endgame: The last time this happened was Solomon Hill with Indiana in 2015, and I don’t think the Pacers sit around ruing the day they let him walk.)
― J0rdan S., Monday, 1 November 2021 22:02 (two years ago) link
yeah hill just happened to get minutes in a short playoff run and hit a bunch of shots, then regressed to his mean immediately after

btw per this article my memory held up well about kurkan--3rd-year option declined and then re-signed for 2 years at the minimum. not sure how this sitch is different from jalen smith's from a cba perspective: https://www.inquirer.com/sixers/furkan-korkmaz-sixers-free-agent-signing-20190724.html
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 2 November 2021 00:03 (two years ago) link
good call on that.
― It's the Final Cluntdiwn (Spottie), Tuesday, 2 November 2021 00:08 (two years ago) link
ohhh i get it now, they can offer him no *more* than the 3rd year option number, but can offer less.

uh yeah i was gonna ask… so, the celtics… bad?
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 2 November 2021 01:55 (two years ago) link
they just don't have a true #1 scoring threat unless tatum can take another step up. in the meantime this iteration was supposed to be a good defense medium offense team but the defense has been outright bad
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 2 November 2021 01:58 (two years ago) link
i think on most teams tatum would qualify as a #1 scoring threat.
from what i have seen the issues have been poor team defense, getting nothing from smart and richardson, and not getting enough from rob in an expanded role.
― call all destroyer, Tuesday, 2 November 2021 02:00 (two years ago) link
rob has looked okay to me but richardson has been replacement level yeah
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 2 November 2021 02:05 (two years ago) link
they are only 6 guys deep again despite the retooled roster
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 2 November 2021 02:06 (two years ago) link
there is no reason for richardson to be playing over nesmith at this point, that's an easy one to fix.
more broadly they still don't seem to have any organizing principle on offense which is how these runs snowball so easily on them. when they try to be unselfish the result is turnovers and when they're more selfish the result is bad shots. no one ever just settles things down.

is it just me or has Lillard been kinda bad

he's averaging 18.3-3.5-8.3 on 35% shooting and a disorienting 23% from three (13-56 for the year), he's been worse than i've ever seen him through any stretch of games in his career including his rookie year
― Clay, Tuesday, 2 November 2021 02:22 (two years ago) link
i don't think a guy like him can do much but try to shoot his way out of it but at some point if it doesn't fix itself he's gonna get the yips and then lol look out

― more difficult than I look (Aimless), Tuesday, 2 November 2021 02:31 (two years ago) link
Lillard's worst FG% stretches in his career came during two periods:- An 8-game stretch in late January 2015 where he shot 31% from the field and 23% from 3- An 8-game stretch in March and April 2016 where he shot 32% from the field (but 33% from 3) https://t.co/8edf4hF0bu— Kevin Pelton (@kpelton) November 2, 2021
