Llevron Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I still have a hard time adjusting to the fact that Westbrook, Harden and Durrant were all on the same team and that let that **** change. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM72 Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 (edited) Westbrook sealed the deal last night. I want to see someone hate on a 57 point triple double. Edited March 30, 2017 by DM72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Celtics are in a GREAT position...they potentially have the inside track to getting the #1 overall pick (Fultz.) They can either draft the kid or trade the pick to get assets. If the draft Fultz, they can then start shopping Thomas. Thomas would bring in a nice return, and if we're talking finances, paying Fultz on the rookie scale > overpaying for a short PG who is only effective on one end of the floor and is nearing 30. Such a great position to be in...and they're the #1 overall seed, for now, in the East. Rich getting richer. Thanks, Brooklyn! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're ready to win, they aren't trading an established near 30 PPG player even if he's somewhat overrated. My guess is they deal the pick to bring in someone like Paul George.

Cleveland won a title with a point guard that is essentially only effective on the offensive end. I don't think you junk a 30ppg player because he's a lousy defender. Doing so would send them into rebuilding mode, I don't think they want that. No rookie is going to score like IT for three years at least. Besides they could always draft 6-6 Ball to pair with Thomas. Pass first and shoot first tend to work well together, and Ball has the size to guard NBA SGs. I'm sure they'd love Lavar in Boston. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sinister Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I can easily envision Sr Ball publicly ripping Brad Stevens for starting Lonzo at SG "IT is a bum midget, cant guard nobody! Put my boy at point guard and watch what he'll do!" That's if he even wants him playing on the east coast 2017-18 is going to be fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Part of me really hopes Lonzo goes to LA or Boston. But for his sake, I hope he goes to a more anonymous team like Phoenix or Orlando. The pressure on that kid is already friggin ridiculous. I also wonder if LaVar Ball will be the reason the team that picks #1 passes on Lonzo. If Lonzo and Fultz are tied on your board, wouldn't you rather go with a lower maintenance guy in Fultz and not have to deal with LaVar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, though i honestly don't think LaVar wants to mess around if it is indeed Boston that is the destination. Boston is an all time sports city and suffers no one. Very blue collar and very anti anything Los Angeles probably, including people. Thats probably the one place that would make he and his son's lives a living hell if he acts a fool Edited March 30, 2017 by Mr. Sinister Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Sinister Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I didn't know the Blazers had 3 first rounders. They play their cards right they'll have a nice young team for a long time. Nurkic is the real deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyrie ain't **** without him. LOL. Thomas is a UFA after next season Al Horford is maxed out. If they trade for Paul George, he'll be a UFA in 2019. Then there will be decisions to be made on guys like Jaylen Brown and Crowder. Not to mention Bradley is up for a new deal in 2018. I honestly think Bradley has more value than THomas. He'd be the guy I'd keep if a decision had to be made between him and Thomas. If it was up to me, I'd dangle Thomas, and re-up Bradley. Makes you wonder if a team like Indy would be willing to trade their pick + george for the #1 overall and Thomas? 4 hours ago, Dr. Do Itch Big said: No mention of the Warriors recent 9 game win streak without Durant and a 22 point come back against the Spurs??? Nope, because they blew a 3-1 lead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would pull the trigger on that because I think Paul George is going to walk. I can rebuild around Myles Turner and Markelle Fultz. And I can flip Isiah Thomas for another asset to a team that's a PG away. Milwaukee anyone? New Orleans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And two days later, he does a fancier version of the move Wall did. Incredible. Why does everybody think Cleveland can just "cut it on". This isn't last season where they can cakewalk they're way to the Finals. The East is way tougher than it was last year. They definitely won't sweep they're way to the ECF.

CrypticVillain Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I guess y'all are right, but I just feel like now more than ever, The King is in severe danger.

Going Commando Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I think this year or next year is the year LeBron finally misses the finals. This Cleveland team fell apart faster than I expected. They are just not very good outside of their big three. Several of their role players got old and Thompson, Shumpert, and JR Smith aren't really carrying their weight. Those three guys are super expensive for role players, and they aren't earning their money. That said, I still think it will be a Cleveland vs Golden State final. I just don't think it's the lock that it was before Durant got hurt and the Cavs lost their mojo at the AS break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lebron's reign ends after 2018, when the Wizards will be the big up and comer that will acquire Durant or Cousins to become the new Kings of the East and possibly League. Yeah I said it. 15 years of greatness is pretty amazing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
