No Rozier please. I would rather my Grandma play PG for us than have to see him play for us again.

Honesty, it is the way the Celtic fans turned on Kyrie that Kyrie is leaving. It’s also Kyrie’s agent’s fault that’s why they parted. It’s also the young players fault for not listening to Kyrie.

It’s also the the Boston media’s fault for ever questioning Kyrie about the teams struggles during regular season. It’s the media’s fault for pressing him to say the regular season doesn’t matter and wait until the playoffs. It’s the Milwaukee Bucks fault for playing strong defense on Kyrie that caused Kyrie to struggle miserably in the playoffs.

It was Lebron’s fault why Kyrie left the Cavs to begin with. It is was the young Celtic player’s fault for being insubordinate that made Kyrie realize Lebron was right. It’s everyone’s fault except for...

According to multiple league sources, Irving still has not removed the Celtics from consideration as he contemplates where to sign as a free agent, though the assumption around the NBA was he was looking to go elsewhere to join up with another marquee free agent. That concept was placed in some measure of doubt when Kevin Durant — the most prominent of the potential 2019 free agents — suffered a ruptured Achilles’ tendon in Game 5 of the NBA Finals Monday night.

There still is no definitive word on whether that situation will change Irving’s thinking, or if a successful Celtics pursuit of Davis could increase the chances Irving stays in Boston.

As has been the case all along, it’s fair to think the Celts clearly would like to have more solid information from Irving on his plans so they can more properly formulate their own procedures moving forward.

For example, knowing what Irving will do could impact what the Celtics offer for Davis. At this point, however, sources continue to indicate the club is intent on trying to secure him no matter what else transpires — and regardless of statements that, if acquired, Davis will not re-sign with the Celtics when he can become a free agent in 2020, a sentiment most recently expressed in comments by his agent to Sports Illustrated.

Could be a coincidence..

If the Nets have Kyrie and Tobias Harris in the bag, though, Boston and Philly are going to be hoping the other team's player signs first, so they can get something back in a sign and trade.. worst case from our perspective would be the Nets releasing DAR..

Anyway if that's what Kyrie wants, wanting to play for his hometown team is sympathetic, but between the October promise, the January tantrum, the February tunnel convention, and his general faux Zen flat earth Illuminati rabbit hole bull,

F*ck him. Two years from now we're going to hear about how he "made up" with Danny and Brad the same way he did with Lebron - he didn't know what he had in Boston, he didn't appreciate it, blah blah blah

Holy ish you have almost 17k posts on an nba forum and still havn't figured out S&T are no longer really feasible or beneficial under the ew CBA. Especially for a team that has as much cap space as the Nets

You have 38 posts and a pre-warning to not be so antagonistic about things.

You probably want to know what your talking about if your going to burn someone else. S&T aren't particularly beneficial to players anymore you no longer get the extra year or the higher raises. The advantages for teams still exist. To sign a FA BRK would have to clear the space to do so. I have no idea how BRK values the players it has cap holds on but they have to renounce 30+ mil of them to open up the cap space. A sign and trade would mean they don't have to renounce those players or go under the cap preserving the MLE.

Yours took the rest of the sentence.

Kick rocks chump

[robdog_5]

Curious what happens with Horford. His option is in a few days and if he opts out it would tell me things are trending downward. If he re ups doesnt tell me much other than their still trying and if he re does his deal for something more team friendly I think we will see some moves

U got me criss crossed buddy and confused AF....after being on here way too much today that’s really saying something

If we hire Delonte, I suspect g'ma wont have to worry about playing, she would need to worry about something else

The hope has been that he'd opt out.. I'd say his opting in is a sign he's probably going to to be traded to a mutually agreeable destination.. although that could be via sign and trade, too, after an opt out - there won't be BYC issues - so really the only bad news is if he signs with the Sixers or Clippers..

[bucknersrevenge]

I think Horford ends up staying now. Family is compfortable. Anna says he loves it here and would prefer to stay. With Kyrie likely gone, his familiarity with the team and the coaching, save for Lou Merloni, the city has b happens.een good to him. And Brad obviously loves him. I think they find a way to make it work and bring him back. I don't think the Capela thing

[ParticleMan]

horford is the key to brad's motion offense, he needs to stay. him and hayward. and with kyrie gone we could actually run it.

every time we started the possession with horford touching the ball, good things happened. every time we started with kyrie wizard-dribbling around... ya not so much.
