Im not to sure about that. But if he give up assets for Lowry, i’ll start to have doubts about him.

What if he gave up assets for Lamarcus Aldridge?

Why would he do that? Better yet, why is Pop giving up Aldridge? SA has zero intention of taking a step back, even if they have no shot at winning they want to be in the playoffs every year.

Doncic is already the GOAT and he hasn't even played in a western conference finals yet. Phenom.

Kobble, if you have that kind of conviction. I recommend you to buy his rookie card then you sell it once he reached GOAT.

why has Noah Vonleh never caught on with a team (released by Brooklyn most recently)?

he's seemingly built for this era - big body but still mobile, wingspan, shooting potential...

granted, the shooting potential hasn't yet been realized...the little I can find points to basketball IQ being an issue

Celtics being mediocre makes me happy

Mentally weak and/or doesn't love the game. His pre-draft interviews were the definition of second-hand cringe. He was pretty much guaranteed to bust. Same as Zhaire Smith.

Watching the Celtics has really been relaxing and enjoyable lately.

Another 6 minute outing for NAW. My question is: if we traded for him, would Doc even play him? Wouldn't he just get the Tyrese treatment?

All I know is he ain’t 6”6” that’s for sure lol. I’m not high on him can’t see the presence. I’m keeping an eye on my youngins that I like, two have flown the coup (Beasley & Ball) and Josh might have turned the corner. Still got a ways to go. Same with Monk. Super undersized though

Honestly, I don't even care if Doc refuses to play Walker this year. Just get him and bring him into the organization and let him assimilate over-time.

Boston really has no depth this season. To play a wing heavy rotation. They need at least two of their elite wings on the court at all time. But with Kemba knees. And Gordon leaving. The minute brown or Tatum leave the floor. The Boston bench sucks.

They are out of the play-offs at the moment.

Still think they will become better and they have a great foundation with Tatum and Brown.
But all their picks are gone now, they don't have cap flexibility outside a trade exception. Kemba is done and always have been a defensive liability.
They don't have a frontcourt whatsoever. They are good with Tatum and Brown, but there's a lot of work to be done, also to prevent one of them wanting out in 2 seasons.

I tried to tell ya'll Bob Myers was a terrible GM. It came to fruition and became undeniable.

Now I'm telling ya'll Brad Stevens is a terrible head coach. He's a great defensive coordinator but he's absolutely not a leader of men.

Shai had 42 points in a win against the Spurs. The Thunder will now be two reminders for me of mistakes we made: Zhaire instead of Shai and Maxey instead of Maledon (I'm preemptively calling this one).

EDIT: Also, them being 13-19 with that team is absurd. Shai is legit.

Kobblehead · Post #1678 » by **Kobblehead** » Thu Feb 25, 2021 8:05 pm

Even if Meledon ends up better than Maxey, at least Maxey is a creator.

Passing on Shai in favor of a bunch of role players that can't create off the dribble (Miles Bridges, Mikal Bridges, Zhaire Smith, Kevin Knox) was inexcusable.

Tyrese treatment? Tyrese gets the Tyrese treatment because we get smoked every minute he's on the court.

Sad we couldnt get Harden. Hes beasting and we will be forced to see the Nets winning atleast 2 east finals( and probably winning it all). Embiid's prime will be wasted.

I know we would have to give a boatload of picks and Simmons but im wondering if it wouldnt be worth it?

Picks are good and all but Harden is a one of a kind. When the trade happened i thought the price was to steep, but im having second thoughts. He would fit like a glove with Embiid...
