As much as i dislike his behavior but Green is by far the best defender of his generation.

Yeah, he is a scumbag, but he is a fantastic player and a crucial part of the Warriors success. He is a really good passer too. Clowning him for his low scoring really shows limited basketball knowledge.

Btw this version of Curry might be best version of Curry :o

Also Houston needs Green to develop into more than just high usage streaky scorer. He actually plays good defense in playoffs, so i guess that's something.

Wow...DET has built something nice around Cade, a little bit of everything they need...What does Ivey's return do for them? He could bring back a significant package of role players or picks, they could build out their own OKC type pick stash to go with their cap space, young core, and in-house superstar. I'd love to plug Ivey in next to Suggs and DET is clearly doing fine without him.

Schroder is more than fine for the second playmaker role...we should have gotten him cheap when we could. Yet another passive mistake...especially a German national. He's exactly the kind of player we're looking for - but older and limited, not a long-term solution, but an excellent placeholder to help get us playing the right way - a CoJo who can score as well.

I wonder what DET plans to do...Ivey was a weird fit next to Cade, but too clearly BPA to pass on. Schroder will cost a lot less. Sasser is formidable, especially if he's third in line.

Pistons are one elite player away from being really good.

If we had Schroeder who was getting passed around the league like he can’t play……

Guy has been so good for the pistons in this series

I said before the series that the Lakers losing in the first round would be the funniest thing ever

But not that surprising, Wolves went to WCF last year.

For sure, i thought some of their fans were insane for underestimating them.... I was like minny has both a top 10 offense and top 5 defense if I recall correctly..... And while the Lakers offense is explosive, they have Luka and LeBron trying to play defense... And no big man

He's beloved in DET now...I wonder how much they'll pay to keep him - he's making $6m this year and he's a UFA (he made $15m per in previous years)

Tim Hardaway Jr is a similar player, but dumped on as a negative value because he's making $16m this year and he's a UFA

They've got cap space...I wonder what they'll do. It's nice to think Beasley will say "I love it here and it's a great fit for us both. Hey Tim, let's both sign for $7m each"...but that's not usually how it works.

Let's grab Ivey at the bottom of the market while they're celebrating.

I love watching Ant play. He really has that MJ-like showmanship to his game.

Oh ****! He just went down grabbing his knee cos LeBron dove into his leg for a loose ball.

He’s back up and moving. Looks ok, but hobbled a bit.
