I forgot just how near football-like this LA/Cs rivalry was.
They'd be handing out Flagrant 5s if they tried this ? today. PBA. ? Basketball Association now. -
I actually like the idea of moving Kyrie to 2 if possible, hell have a lot more nights to roam at that position than guarding 1's

They should make a good documentary about Dream

The Blazers have first round picks available to teams who are willing to assist them in cap relief. The Nets should jump on that. Eat Evan Turners contract in order to get the 20th pick. Swing for the fences with your three firsts or package one or two of them + Lopez to move up into the lottery. Lucky for you they own thier 2019 pick where the top 2 players look like generational talents.
If we're trying to be "competitive" then we gotta keep Lopez, and trading for Evan Turner while giving Lopez defeats the purpose.
Whats the point of you trying to be competitive? You should be trying to acquire as many assets as possible. Lopez is almost 30 and the closer he gets to FA the more value you lose with him in a potential trade.
Like I said in order to get one of those Portland first round picks you would have to eat a bad contract and with your team currently stuck in the mud talking on a bad contract wouldn't hinder you much at all. By the time your ready to be "competitive" again Turners contract should be off the books.
Because the idea of being trash just to hand over top 3 picks to the Celtics sucks. I'd rather be competitive for a year and if we miss the playoffs we'll be in the 35-39 win range, and then the following year tank and begin the rebuild.
So your expecting a 10 game improvement based on what exactly? and you would pass on an opportunity to add a top 20 pick in a loaded draft just to spite the Celtics? Ok you got it.
We already have 2 late/mid first round picks unless they're offering a lotto (top 5) pick then I'd rather be competitive for one year. It's not about spiting the Celtics more so it's the fact that it makes no sense to be bad and tank when you don't own your first round pick. You're suggesting we suck and continue to hand over top 3 picks. -

I'm suggesting that you make the best of a bad situation. You will suck regardless. -

It's pretty in depth from what I remember. Gave good back round on his life before playing for Houston his faith and his family. If you find it or something similar let me know i ? with dream heavy -
You clearly asking the wrong person b -
S/o to them CAW CAW Boyz @Shizlansky @caddo man @Crude_ @AP21
this off season is hella important. The most in franchise history. I say let Jrue Holiday walk and remain flexible with the cap, get a short stop PG to sell to future free agents and try to get 50 wins. Next season try to go after John Wall. Or sign and trade Jrue to Minnesota for Rubio. -

Tickets in ATL be cheap? -
no idea who the pels are gonna pick at 40
been seeing some reports of Josh Hart. Dude looks like he can fit the bill, but idk
Nah bruh won't make it in the NBA. Not too athletic. I say go with Nigel Willams Goss, Jonah Bolden, Semi Ojeleye, or pray Derrick White is there. Me personally I would trade up. -
I think we gon get at least 50 wins this season. Interesting to see how well Brogdon, Maker and Giannis do. Hopefully Jabari will be healthy

Ainge likes flabby pfs
Yabusele is actually athletic for his size, I'm sure you've never seen him play so I take this with a grain of salt, I saw yall are thinking about trading the 5th & 10th pick for the 4th pick and a 2nd rounder. Worry about your trash franchise -
Jake Fischer: The Dallas Mavericks have emerged as serious contenders to sign Jrue Holiday and his brother Justin, according to league sources.
Jake Fischer: The Holiday brothers have strong interest to play together, per sources, and Justin played w/ Harrison Barnes on Warriors’ 2015 title team.
? please let this happen. -
speaking of stephen a smith though
‘im ? , leg, hip guy, if you dont have that, then its insulting if you even approach me’
lmao
stephen a smith real life talk like that about everything

I don't know how realistic it will be to get Wall here but I'd sign some serviceable guy on a 2 year deal.
I think Elfrid Payton type guy might be more realistic in 2018 and I also think we need a better small forward to but I don't know who we can afford. @silverfoxx -
Naw. We need a PG that can shoot
