I love how Mitchell and the Celtics collectively hate Simmons

How common is RoY salt? This is really the first I recall, except for the Russell/Heinsohn anecdote, and that was apparently just one private conversation among the principals.

Yooo. I'm still all in on the Hezonja bandwagon.

I'd love it from a Celtic fan signing, but i wouldn't love it for him. Go to the Grizz, PELS!, Blazers, Pacers, Pistons! All wanna be playoff teams the we can start at the 3 for & run some offense.

If not, Bulls, Hawks, Kings. Get those stats up baby.

This must be based solely on him ring chasing if we land Kawhi or Lebron.

I wouldn't want 2016 DWade on my team. Never the less 2019 DWade.

He's the worst. Easily my most hated player in the league.

Danny would never.

If Danny signed Shaq, he can sign anybody. (I still think Rondo's willingness to attack the hoop was permanently lowered after Shaq laid him out in a playoff game.)

Watch on YouTube

Lakers blatantly tampering just like they did with PG when he was with Indy. League does cater to that franchise and their shady GM, never liked Magic and his fakeness.

Earvin Johnson, a big scammer.

His secretary, "Earvin Johnson, just off the phone with LeBron's people, he will be here next week to sign."

Earvin Johnson runs out into the street to talk to the media.

Earvin Johnson, "I will quit my job if the Lakers don't do something this year, or next."

Although, seeing Cleveland bandwagon fans have to go from LeBron and his rigged-by-the-NBA team that loses finals to one built around Lonzo Ball's father's son will be funny.

If all Cleveland do is salvage Lonzo, maybe they can sign his undrafted brother too. Then someone can say, "For the first time, there are two balls on the court."

If two basketballs were allowed, Paul George would have stayed in OKC?

If my life depended on predicting that trade, and I could propose as many trades as I wanted, I still never would have come up with that one.

Makes some sense given the Clippers draft picks and that they are likely gonna lose DeAndre Jordan. Makes sense for the wizards as Gortat and Wall can’t stand each other

I know! It does make sense now that I've had some time to think about it. I'm just really bad at predicting trades.

Lol well it is hard to imagine anyone wanting to trade for Austin Rivers. Doc must be pissed

That is an odd trade.

DeAndre is a goner I presume.

S&T Cousins for Porter would be the obvious good move for both Wizards and New Orleans now

I think Beal actually, Wall and Beal don't like each other so it's time they probably moved on from each other. Porter doesn't seem to have that issue, even if he's worse.

Seems weird for WAS. Oh well.

Am I the only one seeing this as a precursor to making a run at KL? & LBJ? LAC draft a new backcourt, trade for Gortat, do they have enough to entice Pop to send them Kawhi (screw the Fakers over) and open a max slot for LBJ? If they make the playoffs their 1st conveys to Celts.

I really don't think this trade sways the Kawhi sweepstakes odds at all for them.

Oh. Ok. Well that totally changes my mind then. Given how compelling an argument you make and wot not.
