Kawhi Thread, Numero 4 -- Traded to Raptors for DeRozan, others

[Darthlukey]

Time for the celtics to make a move. No excuses now. The best team in the NBA just added another star player to their team. Unreal. No way are the celtics beating the warriors now or any team for that matter.

The move to make is sit tight and ride it out, use our vets to be competitive but NOT move any of our premium picks or youth

[Homerclease]

Celtics need to get Kwahi to have any shot. This is getting to be ridiculous. Dude took a 15 million dollar pay cut to get a free ring

Cousins isn’t even gonna play for the majority of the season

Warriors so good they dont need to play him. He can rest til March, come back as healthy as possible and play sporadic minutes. The move also stopped anyone else from adding him too

Exactly. Basically zero risk for them. But let’s not act like they are adding 100% boogie for 82 games plus the playoffs. They are taking a flier on a cripple

He doesn’t need to be 100%. Literally 50% of normal boogie is a massive upgrade over what they had

Firmly believe they’re going to add IT next. They need more scoring off the bench. Giving away rings like candy

I’m sure they will right after the Celtics draft Josh Jackson.

Not really.

[Marvel]

Maybe, and you don’t know if he’s gonna be 100% either

He doesn’t need to be. 50% of him is better than freaking McGee or Zaza

Boogie not knowing his role and taking shots away from Curry and Durant is a good thing for the competition

Still 100x better than McGee or Zaza. That is bad for the competition. Warriors without Boogie is bad enough.

Thank god they didn’t.

If Cousins took 5 million...anything is possible

We will see in April maybe. We have no idea how he returns from his Achilles injury

Will be tough for us since Hayward is a lock to sign with the heat, since Pat Riley always gets his man.

Just teasing.

He really is. Come on put the haterade down. McGee and Zaza are bums. Are you saying Boogie is a scrub?

[Afam]

This season is Finals or bust. You can't make it to two straight ECF finals only to lose in the second round or ECF. Anything short of being in the finals is a failure.

Watch Shaqtin a fool on YouTube. That’s what Cousins is replacing. Zaza is probably one of the biggest stiffs in the league.

Okay? How does Cousins signing out west affect that?

[Marvel]

**** Boogie just became the most hated player by a wide margin for me. His injury must be serious for him to join the Dubs. He must be nervous about his future. Why not ride the cocks of a championship team to have a championship or two on your NBA resume.

No, I’m saying boogie not knowing his role and taking shots from the warriors better players is subtraction by addition. Warriors centers knew their role last year and got out of the way. Boogie needs to learn that he’s the 4th option and not the first option

[ConstableGeneva]

Baynes vs. Boogie in the Finals would be epic.

Anything is possible. I wouldn’t even rule out LeBron backing out of his deal to take the **** minimum in GSW.

A ruptured Achilles for a 7 footer is an extremely serious injury. Potentially career altering

[BigTrade92]

The Celtics will make the Finals for sure, but if Cousins is even 75% they're not gonna win.

This is the epitome of idotic. The Warriors continue to move the goal posts back. Unfortunately the entire rest of the league can do nothing but sit back and watch.

I said it in 2016, I said it in 2017 and I'll say it now:

Kevin Durant singlehandedly broke the league with his cowardly decision.

Of course they are expected to. They are the best team in the East by far.
