Hmmm


Twitter about to BLOW THE LID off the biggest sports scandal of the century. The NBA is officially on the same tier as the WWE now.


And Jack Armstrong is in the middle of it all :noway: :noway:


Toronto keeps winning lol

But really I don't get the big stink even if it was true. If BOS has their decision already just like PHI and LAL made theirs' public then I really don't see how this is a problem at all other then it kills a little bit of the suspense for viewers but whatever.

Hield at 3 makes sense since the Celtics already have Bradley, Thomas, and Smart.

Simmons, Ingram, Hield, Dunn, Murray, Brown, Bender, Baldwin/Sabonis, and Chriss with the 9th pick.

Ainge doing some nice smoke work.

My final mock:

Simmons
Ingram
Dunn (they'll keep it - the next rondo maybe and PG of the future, IT more of a small 2 imo)
Chriss
Murray
Hield
Brown
Sabonis/Baldwin
Bender

More than ever, I actually see Bender falling to us at 9. BOS and DEN are the wild cards.


I agree with this.

Man Bender would be a steal.

BC is doing work btw, trying to get the 3rd pick to choose Hield or Murray apparently.

BC is the worst GM, but damn is he ever entertaining af. Some days I miss all the action he got involved in here and then common sense hits me and I realize that winning is far superior.

See the big thing he has in Philly which he didn't have with Toronto is his dad. He has his dad to smack him around to prevent any bone head moves.

I totally believe that Stein tweet. He always seemed to have a legitimate in with BC.

BC must really have faith in Embiid if they're willing to part with Okafor. An Embiid / Simmons pairing is really solid especially if you can add a Hield. That's a good young big 3 if Embiid pans out.

If you're Boston, Okafor and whatever (future first?) for the #3 pick is a really good deal.

It's like mutumbo and philly all over again..... Just imagine the reaction if Hield is actually Boston's pick lmaoooo

So if Heild goes to the Celts plus Mutumbo exposing who gets 1st pick, Threeveland winning title 4-3(after coming back from 3-1) This **** is RIGGED! Like Mrs Curry said

Does anyone else feel like ben simmons is a lamar odom type of player instead of LBJ like people are saying?

I have no idea why PHI has so much faith in Embiid unless they transplanted some robotic limbs this kid has been Greg Oden 2.0

He has LBJ-lite like passing with Odom like frame.

LBJ was a much better shooter from the mid-range and an insane athlete, also was far more advanced offensively in nearly every way aside from passing. Simmons is going to have an impact because he is essentially going to run the offense and fast break like LBJ but he lacks every where else offensively. His impact will be great but nowhere near LeBron's level.

I actually think Simmons will be a faster and more intuitive passing GIANNIS.

Thanks dude. As do I with you.

I don't think so unfortunately. Think he's a good guy long term and will be a rotational player when Patterson needs replacing.

I envision this next season

Lowry / Joesph
Derozan / Powell
Carroll / SF
PF (Ross, 27, Wright) / Patt / Bender
Val / C / Bebe
