Lmao it's actually realistic if we sold the farm(including Brown Tatum and Brooklyn18) we could have a lineup of

IT/Hayward/George/Horford/Porzingis

I mean we'd have no bench but that starting lineup would be amazing

Hayward probably has a good idea of where he's playing next year, FWIW. Mark Titus had said it on The Ringer, but Hayward already knows how he'll be used and how he'll fit into Stevens system. The players all know each other, so I'm sure he's well aware of the team's culture. The interview should be more of a formality.

Gunna throw it out there, but Hayward is close with Kobe, and I'd bet he tells him to come to Boston. Kobe is also friendly with IT and could likely assuage any of his fears regarding playing with him.

You got Horford right. Now it's time to get Hayward right. You are almost there!

A major realtor that you are friends with?

Yes

I think folks in Baltimore would disagree about the crabs.

Just send this video to Hayward. Tell him to imagine himself in AB, Green, or Crowder's position. He'll get so many open looks. LOL at Crowder's dunk attempt (5:27 mark).

Watch on YouTube

Nah. I'd prefer to keep Brown and Tatum on board so they can learn from Hayward and George. Porzingis is nice, but let's see where that Nets pick ends up next year. We could be able to keep Brown and Tatum while scoring a player who might be equally as good as Kristaps.

Eating ass is a good thing. So we'd be good defensively?

I'm not saying that it's happening..... But it's happening

Wanna know what the best part about these rumors are? It's the fact that no other teams' boards are even talking about the possibility of it happening. The Lakers' board isn't acknowledging it. Seems like Utah's, Denver's or the Cavs' boards aren't discussing it. If Danny can pull off this miracle, those other fan bases are going to be devastated.

The Raps board reaction would be the best.

It would ignite a civil war on that board (Tankers vs non-tankers). It's already brewing. If this trade goes through, it gives the tankers all the ammunition they'd need. :lol:

Power rankings for saltiest fan bases if George/Hayward happens here:

1) Toronto

2) Lakers

3) Utah
4) Cavs
5) Pacers

I heard from a friend of mine who sells used cars that Blake Griffin is negotiating to do car adds for Ernie Boch, and that they had him standing in front of a mirror practicing "Come on Down!" I also heard that Griffin is moving up to Toyota from Kia, but that's supposed to be a secret.
