Around the NBA 2018 (Non-Celtics Talk)

[truth18]

Great to see Isaiah ball out tonight, even if he's wearing a Laker's jersey. Gave up on that pick a while ago...hope he keeps balling out just to make the Cavs look dumb for moving him for a couple of role players.

Yeah. Weird to say but i'm rooting for the Lakers to win these games.

1- I want IT to get a nice contract. Even if it's 2yr/24mil w/ Indy. Still a dope pay raise.
2- I want LAL to win for the Philly pick. If we're not getting it, I want Philly to pick 13th lol.

Thomas is Lakers scum.

Going to quote EPMD again: "You gots to chill".

People around here have got to chill with the IT hate man. Yes, he's gone, he's not Kyrie, whatever, but chill. He gave his best for this franchise.

JR Smith is an absolute clown and I love it. Remember his tidal wive quote from a few years ago?

[TheOGJabroni]

Young Philly is still trying to figure out how to play with each other. Throw egomaniacal Lebron in there and it could spell disaster to to the rise of their young talent. They'd not only have to continue to get better within their own games as NBA players, they'd have to learn how to be a Bron teammate!

Lebron would have most of them traded IMO.

Fultz and 2018 LAL first and Philly First for Kemba

Simmons, Saric for Porzingas

Walker
Covington
Lebron
Unicorn
Embiid

That would make lebron happy, surround him with 3 allstars and a great 3andD player.

Simmons is his guy, despite him being a terrible fit next to LBJ he won't be traded.

Philly would be idiotic to trade Simmons anyway. I get it's LeBron but adding him doesn't make them better than Golden St. This would be the most anti-Process idea possible, wouldn't it? Can't sacrifice 10-15 years of Simmons for however Much LeBron has left.

I don't have to do anything. And nothing I said was factually incorrect. He is Lakers scum. Kareem is the only Laker I like and he is Lakers scum.

I mean if you trade Simmons for Devin Booker for example, you get a better fit now and a guy that can be with Embiid for his career.


Also RE the bolded, the current FO ain't to partial to that phrase and idea anymore, they actually made a guy take off his "Trust The Process" shirt before shooting one of the halfcourt shots.

Cle lowered their ceiling. Shoulda sat IT out that first month to let him get in shape. Yeah he peaked w/ us, but he still coulda gotten Cle 20+ ppg on good efficiency once he's healthy.

Instead went for Clarkson. & When LBJ doesn't get 30-10-10, their gonna struggle.

I'm pissed cause i took Philly+3 & Min+8.5 last night. & these mu***** wanna lose by 9 smfh.

I'm right there with you haha. I know looking at the prospects you can never tell, but I really want to make sure Philly doesn't get one of: Ayton, Doncic, Porter JR, Jackson JR, Bagley, Bamba, Trae Young

So I guess 8 or below will suffice. But without Draftexpress I have no good free source of information on prospects so I'm not sure who else I'd be fearful of haha, just in case I'd love for them to pick 11 instead. We can't afford them getting a player better than say a Marcus Smart to that core. If they do and I'm LeBron I kind of just go there. There's plenty of assets to trade for another all-star next to Simmons and Embiid and you have just as much talent as he's ever had next to him.

Its Bryan Colangelo

[London2Boston]

Yeah. No way Simmons is traded. Fulltz and Saric will make way. For what it’s worth, I think Philly is the most likely if he leaves.

[celticfan42487]

It depends who it's for. A lot of what makes LeBron special is what Simmons has in his game.

You could pretty much trade him for any star a team is looking to move on from and more.

LeBron would very much rather play with Paul George for the next 3 years than a Bill Simmons for example. Someone that can also take ball handling load off him but compliment him when he's running the offense.

Whoops

[Iguodaladon]

Simmons and Lebron would be a terrible fit. What would Simmons be doing with Lebron holding the ball other than cloggin the court?

[Romeiro Celtic]

I don't know about you guys, but to me the Sixers has been such a fun team to watch this year.

[Romeiro Celtic]

Simmons and Lebron would be a terrible fit. What would Simmons be doing with Lebron holding the ball other than cloggin the court?

Exactly, I don't think the Sixers need Lebron, they need more experience. Simmons and Embiid can be a really dominant duo on the future. And if Fultz pans out and starts playing well and after get healthy, that team could be really deadly.

[Romeiro Celtic]

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is such a thrash offensive player, Jesus.

[Romeiro Celtic]

IMO, the Hornets should clean the house. They should start over, tank for a few years and build something positive. That team is filled with bad contracts and bad players. Only 3 players I can see with a good future are Kemba, Willy and Monk (who hasn't played well, but I believe he'll get things figured out). They need to make trades and MJ really needs to stop wasting his money on garbage.

[SMTBSI]

Watching this TOR/WAS game... man, intellectually I know I need to be rooting for Washington, but I just dislike them a whole lot more.

In the middle of the action, I keep forgetting myself and rooting for each team to miss every shot they take. Like, I'll have an immediate reaction of being happy whenever WAS misses a shot, then have to catch myself. This has happened a solid dozen times now.

[CeltsfanSinceBirth]

Raptors play by play guy, Matt Devlin, just yelled "CJ Kilometers" after Miles drained a 3. That dude just stole from CHL's post. Lol
