Yup. Every move we've made for the last four years has been the wrong one. It's truly one of the most remarkable runs of dumb luck of all time. There'll no doubt be documentaries made about it down the road.

leonard has never shown that on the floor though. also, his teammates were throwing him under the bus which is a big deal.


Neither has Tatum. Very quiet compared to the average player. Would you trade LeBron for whining?


you serious? tatum was complaining to the refs after literally every play that didn't go his way, towards the end of the season. was obvious. you're a rookie, suck it up. would i trade lebron for whining? if it made the team better, sure. i'm not saying i don't like tatum, the dude could potentially be a superstar caliber player, i'm just saying i'd trade him for someone who IS a superstar player.

Forgot that free agency kinda sucks when you aren’t signing an all-star.

If the spurs take the sixers package the spurs fans would want pop’s head on a platter even though he has brung them championships. I think in the end the lakers will blink and offer Ingram and likely kuzma for Leonard. Ingram and picks for Leonard would be a steal for the lakers. Those picks will be awful.

The Sixers are not getting Leonard without including Ben Simmons. I'll believe otherwise when I see it.

Savannah does not want to live in Philly either. Know this for a fact.

Philly is still a longshot, in my eyes .Cleveland or L.A., with Cavs finally winning the momentum battle for right now, seems like the move.

But their situation is too interesting to not at least have his agent meet.

I think we should all remember that the smartest quote before free agency begins was from LeBron, when he literally said "If you don't hear it coming from ME, don't believe it".

So far, about 14 hours into free agency, LeBron himself has only spoken to one team. The Cavs. At 12:01, immediately as free agency began.

Then a meeting was scheduled with the Sixers in Los Angeles, where LeBron himself is right now, and LeBron can't even carve out the time to attend the meeting. If the Sixers get a follow-up meeting with LeBron and Mav present, then sound the alarm bells. But a meeting with only Rich shouldn't indicate anything other than LeBron is giving them a chance to present a case, just like he did in 2010 and 2014 with multiple teams that never had a chance.


From realcavsfans.com insider. Not sure how reliable but they seem to think he is.

Oh I didn’t know it was literally every play. My goodness you are right they should trade him for a rental ASAP.

If you think Tatum is even close to being an above average whiner compared to the rest of the league, my only conclusion is that you need to watch more basketball.

The question is, if he is willing to stay in Philly why wouldnt he be willingly to stay in Boston? I'm still hesistant to include Brown but if the Celtics included Brown I wonder if they still include SAC and MEMPHIS picks, if they could hold on to them they could still have lottery picks if Kyrie and Kawhi walk.

The anticipation to disappointment ratio Philly fans will soon experience will be massively worse than what we felt when Durant signed with GS.

Giving up both picks would be a lot because I think brown can be an excellent player. I can only imagine him under pop.

Not sure much can top last year when the mere mention of Hayward taking a meeting with Miami meant that Ainge isn’t a closer and won’t do what it takes.

why are you assuming he'd be a rental? ainge isn't getting leonard unless he's keeping him. i wasn't comparing him to the rest of the league, i'm just saying tatum was a big time whiner(whenever he'd miss and anyone was close to him he'd complain to the refs), did it more than anyone else on the team. sorry if you're a big fanboy of his, and i'm offending you, just call it like i see it.

I’m enjoying the partial meltdowns from people upset we aren’t signing a superstar, despite not having the cap space. I love the folks who think championships are won by getting on sportscenter during the offseason

You are describing 99% of NBA players.

Not that it even matters because Tatum is not on the table.
