I like Nerlens. Low usage athletic defender who can pass a bit. The kind of guy our top 4 really needs behind them.


I'd love him as the player, but i have serious concerns about him being around the people he grew up with.

I only want Noel if he commits to bringing back the high top haircut.

Steals, blocks, dunks, and high TO%. 6'11" with huge wingspan but only 220 lbs. Worth a shot or else go with Ye Olde Joakim Noah for a year and see what happens with JB/GH because one of them needs to get traded for a big eventually.

Great.
This is exactly what's going to happen but we will wait until the best of the scrubs choose la clippers and lakers then we get the finest of the crap heap that's left.

He's the profile we should be looking for, but he's never fulfilled his potential, and apparently there are some red flags with him in Boston.

Read that again and see whether you think that's an announcement or just a prediction. (Hint: Look at the SF in particular.)


Seems to pretty clearly be a joke about an all white lineup.

He can be a decent big. At least he can defend the rim and a legit 7.

It's Cousins or Kanter IMO. Cousins is the only dude out there that sort of fits into the role Horford played for us with his passing and floor spacing..he struggled this year, but was a 35% 3pt shooter the year he got injured.. if you get him for 10 million idk how you can say no.


Knicks will do Knicks things with Cousins.

Cousins got a taste of real playoff action. I doubt he wants to go back to a lottery team unless they are backing up the brinks truck.

I don’t want it. But I feel he is very active and would have signed right away or set up meetings. I think Ainge promised him but can’t release it until they get the money.


Been widely rumored, no?

I just hope it isn't for 4 years.

Might prefer Looney.


Kanters fine. At least he has some decent post moves and can rebound. We can always sign a vet min 7 footer later or trade for one. Looney at 6’9” is just not big enough. Plus he would want to get paid either.


Looney has over a 7’3” wingspan and can jump

+1ing this not because I know anything about it but because there are rumors that something's up with him. Bummer if so.
