Around the NBA (2.0), 2018-19 (Non-Celtics Talk)

[AlCelticFan]

What's up with the Raptors love down here? 5 games in. Not a strong schedule. We played them on a back to back and hold it close almost all game and theyre on GSW level already?

I blame social media. Everything is about what’s happening now without context of the bigger picture.

The raptors have been a hot team every year and then they turn into turds after the ASB. Kawhi has been very impressive but I don’t see Lowry and Ibaka as your next two guys getting it done deep in the playoffs.

No way I let people off that easily. It's not social media's fault it's the fans' faults.

Woj just dropped a bomb. Houston making another run at Butler, including 4 1st round picks. I think you kind of have to do it at that point if your Minnesota.

Yeah, they won't do better than that, I'd guess, even though the picks are likely to be in the twenties, at least the first couple of them. One never knows though. By the time they get to the last of those picks, they might be more valuable. Paul will be gone by then. Harden will be getting old by then.

Rockets won’t win crap

[Andrew McCeltic]

Want it to be Dallas offering those 1sts.. Love idea of Butler there as upgrade over Wes..

[Andrew McCeltic]

Any way we can get Nurkic as a Super-Baynes? Off to a good start this season, only 24. Can improve as passer and post scorer with experience, no shot, potential to reproduce some of his insane Denver defensive stats..

Some straight disrespectful **** here, which is all the Wizards deserve. Got damn. You watching Ky?

He'd make a fool out of himself trying to play like this.

Dude........

With the Cavs he did just that more then once.

But on the Celtics it's a bit tougher. We aren't really that sort of team to have a dude run it up to 50+ under Brad Stevens unless it's a rare occasion.

But we did have Kyrie drop 47 last year vs. the Mavs.

He's certainly capable of putting up big games, but not in the way Steph does. Knocking down shots from the logo, multiple men in his face, etc.

Nobody gets hot like Steph does.

Someone needs to let Jokic know about PEDs

[Shak_Celts]

lakers look a lot better with kuz as the main guy in place of ingram and hart is also stepping up for them. Ball has been good too.

he's fine, just a lil baby fat.

Yeh, but imagine how good he would be if he was running whatever giannis is.

Jokic giving up 21 points to Shaqtin' a Fool MVP Javale McGee. Great offensive player but his defense needs major work.

Its not just Jokic.
Javale this season : 25 min- 17pts/ 7rbs/ 3blks/ 62%.

That could end up being a Billy King type deal- CP3 is getting on a bit and Butler picks up an injury towards the end of every season. Harden's the only durable star there and if anything goes wrong, some of those later picks could be extremely juicy

[Darth Celtic]

Remember arguing on the GB with stillwater about how it was disrespectful not to project the Cavs to be a playoff team this year? Yeah, I remember. Added new signature.

The 2023 and 2025 picks would potentially be gold

Apparently the Godfather offer submitted by Morey isn't such a good offer after all. I assumed it was Eric Gordon and the picks. However, instead, it is just Brandon Knight's corpse and the headache known as Marquise Chriss that will be accompanying the picks.

Those guys are trash, but I still might do it if all of the picks are unprotected or just top-1 or top-2 protected.

I'd pull the trigger on that without a moment's hesitation! That team is seriously capped out- they've got KAT and Wiggins on maxes and Wiggins barely provides any value. Then they got Dieng on some crazy contract too. Having 4 picks would allow them to stock up some more young players for Thibs to bench or execute a trade for a second star to go next to KAT

ESPN's Forsberg replacement?
