Butler to Clippers would be cool too. Kawhi joins him there.

Feels like we could still worm our way in there somehow. S&T dream isn't dead yet!

This is not what Constable needs to hear

Good to hear your voice zoya. Still scraping body parts & goo off my walls, ceilings, floors, etc.

Glad I missed all the Horford action. I wouldn't have been able to handle it in real time. My meltdown would be nothing this board had ever seen.

Brown is already complaining about playing time and Brad's favoring of Hayward.

You have some proof of this? I know someone was complaining about Hayward, but I've yet to see it attributed to JB.

Are you Brad Stevens?

winsomme2 wrote:We're not paying Hayward 30mil to come off the bench.

Why does one of them have to sit? They can both start.

Kemba/Jaylen/Gordon/Tatum/???

winsomme2 wrote:So Jaylen is NOT going to happy. Especially after the guy in his class who got picked after him is making bank.

He should be more focused on his own improvement and play. Who cares what Murray is getting paid? He'll get his due time. I'm sure Jaylen knows this.

winsomme2 wrote:Please don't make us relive this again next season. We are gonna lose games because we have no rebounding and JB is gonna start skwaking becsuse he's not getting his touches.

Kyrie/Morris/Rozier are all gone, chill. Next season will be nothing like last season. There's plenty of touches to go around without Morris and Rozier taking stupid shots.

I need to hear it! Al would still be gone, so he can still start/continue/circumvent the grief process.

Strong feeling dude will be a Laker ugh

Lakers must feel good about it to pass up literally everyone else of value in free agency. This is their chance to build a contender around LeBron and AD. He isn't getting any younger...

If Kawhi goes elsewhere they're left with scraps.

It’s either Lakers or Toronto at this point and I’ve got a strong feeling it will be the Lakers. If he stays, it will be one of the most fun NBA seasons in a while

Agreed, if he goes to the Lakers it's pretty much a lock championship if they stay healthy.

I've always thought Kawhi was a piggybacker.

I fully expect him to go to the Lakers where he will have exactly zero pressure.

Or the 2nd biggest meltdown of the day.

HE'S STILL A CELTIC, RIGHT?!?!

Shrewsberry, Horford, and Baynes already died for our past season's sins. Don't want my favorite Celtic shipped off too. Also, **** Kyrie. Irrational as it is, I blame him for most of this.

It's actually pretty rational.

On a side not to me worst contract so far: Murray, no way in **** Hell he's getting 30_ mils a year. Dude averaged over 15 pts on .430 from the field .367 from 3. Dude ain't nothing special. That's superstar(ish) money.

he's pretty damn good and he's ascending. They're paying him for his future performances not past. 18-4-5 and 37% from three at 21 y/o is pretty good. They obviously see upside to come.

He averaged 15 this year, lad. He's very limited defensively cause of his frame and if his shot is off, he's basically useless. He's a scoring combo guard. I'd take Brown over him 20 out of 20 times and Murray has gotten way more opportunities to shine than Brown has.

I've always felt the opposite. I think Kawhi wants to just ball and would go to Clips or Raptoes because I dont think he likes spotlight/hoopla. But chance for new balance and uncle Dennis to be in limelight and you have his people pushing Lakers I'm sure.

Uncle Dennis and Kawhi's sister seem to be taking as much as they can from their relative's success. The type of relatives I wouldn't "love" having.

Doesn't have to be in the first six hours of free agency. But we gotta make Kemba's signing worth it. Otherwise, it looks like it's another half-measure again.

Apologies. Still shook from Horford departure. Not even mad. Just disappointed we weren't able to keep him and get Kemba to play with him. Don't worry, not gonna turn full-Afam just yet. Still processing...

Horford is good to very good ..he is a team 1st guy ..hes fairly clutch and can fit in nicely anywhere he plays ...

THAT said big Al should not be the strength of our team ! Our strength is dominant wing play, an all star scoring ballhandler and dominating suffocating defense ..

The best move imo is to find an athletic rim-running rebounding shot eraser to compliment that strength ...someone that can anchor the D and score a little

zoyathedestroya · Post #357 » by **zoyathedestroya** » Mon Jul 1, 2019 6:05 am

Just need a solid screen-and-roll man for Kemba and Gordo. Preferably one who can protect the rim some too.

Williams, you ready for this??

With Jimmy Butler out the door, the Sixers could use some added wing depth. Think this trade would benefit both teams, who says no?

We need Hayward to be Utah Hayward. That and Tatum stepping up we can be top 3 East team with a shot. But we need some bigs to compete with top 2 teams

FlatearthZorro · Post #360 » by **FlatearthZorro** » Mon Jul 1, 2019 6:05 am

Crazy how much money guys like Portis and Dedmon got. I'm looking at Ed Davis, Kanter and Poirier for real at this point. Maybe I'm missing someone.

Positive note: Yabu bout to be the french mail man this season.
