Remember the good ol' days in the NBA, 24 hours ago, when Tatum and Brown
were considered by many the best duo in the League,
well now you can make a case that Durant and Booker have superceded them...

I give the edge to Tatum this season over Durant as the best player of the four,
though it's very close, but Booker is clearly better than Brown.

In fact, we are talking about a guy who made the All Pro Team (First Team) last season,
something Brown is not sniffing this season or the future.

I mean it's close, as to which duo is better, but there's probably more
of an argument that the Suns pairing is superior for this year at least.

This in itself, is a major upheaval in the NBA landscape, and just showcases
how quickly things can change in sports...

Jesus christ, some of you should join the Suns board. I'm sorry, but the ball washing of the Phoenix Suns that I've been watching since 6 AM is nuts.

Grant Williams for Cam. Nets need a lovable goofball to lighten up the atmosphere.


Cam Johnson fits into the Denis Schroder TPE. Could probably give them Pritchard and a pick and that might be enough.

Yeah. Cam is on an expiring contract so his price tag shouldn't be too high. Although Brad doesn't seem to like trading for expiring contract guys..
Nothing wrong with having a different opinion - as long as it's done respectfully. It'd be lame if we all agreed on everything :)

As it should be. They’re loaded now and gave up two role players for a top 5 player in the league.

It’s ok to admit they’re likely now the favorites and have the best duo in the league lol. Will depend on health (like it always does online playoffs) but they’re gonna be a tough out

But they really aren't, though. They have no defense. We're legitimately spending 12 pages saying, "Oh jeez, Celtics are effed they have no shot". Still have the best record in the league and still favored by Vegas.

Edit: 16 pages. My bad. Thats even friggin worse.

Even if Brad Stevens doesn't make a move today at least we all know Joel Embiid cried himself to sleep last night yet again. :lol: :lol:

Best win of the season. :D

Kyrie will always **** on his former team and then pump the tires of the team before that.

Like when he was in Brooklyn Cleveland wasn’t so bad all of a sudden, Boston was the terror.

I uh….. I don’t think he will do that here. He may skip over praise for Boston.

No one actually believes that the Nets took a worse deal just to make KD happy, right?

If you ask Kyrie in 10 years, he'll probably admit the way he handled his Boston exit and leaving Boston would be his biggest regret. Same with KD and GSW.

It's OK, if Middleton plays the Celtics don't have a chance anyways. At least that's what I hear.

Bucks would have been 82-0 this year with Middleton.

Lol ok if you think this move doesn’t move the needle for the Suns or is overhyped then so be it. I guess I value landing a top 5 player over a good defender in Mikal Bridges

Grizzlies are too young to worry about but if they get Bridges or Anunoby in two years they're a threat. If Bucks level up with Bogdanovic they might pass us in Power Rankings.

They've been at it for years.

KD not admiting fault for influencing the FO. Do we need to bring up the DeAndre Jordan fiasco that led to giving away Jarret Allen?
