There was nothing to f up. Kyrie was going to the Nets along with his girlfriend KD. That left the Knicks with nothing.


Agreed.

Knicks didn’t do anything “wrong” here.

I’d they can settle their ownership, that can always be a promising team.

I have to think that we are considering trading Brown for a big. We struggled last year with not enough shots to go around and the resulting personality challenges. We really need some bigs and with Terry getting $18+ what is Brown going to want?

Don't take this as I want to trade Brown, I'm just doing the math. Tatum is untouchable, Gordon is likely un-tradeable for equal value, impending $$$$ extension, and just drafted another high upside wing (Romeo) = Brown traded for a position of need?

Marcus Morris our answer at Center next year? :lol:

I'm guessing Mook is excited because he went to the market and realized no one cares much about a PF chucker.


He has probably realized the big dollars are being spent elsewhere before teams look to him, but the C's are about to be able to bid on his services without such a worry.

Cave meant Kyrie S&T to Nets has to happen.


Yeah I know. I definitely want the sign and trade to happen, I'm just not sure if Butler to LA is good.

Why not?

That's a good deal for Randle, he works on his game every year and improves. Well done by the Knicks.

Also like the move not paying for Durant. Think he won't ever be the same when he comes back.

Edit: Team option in the last year too, great for them.

Doesn't work that way. We use the cap space to sign someone, TPE goes away, doesn't come back even if we go over cap post-trade.

We operate as a below the cap team, trade Rozier to Charlotte, absorb Kemba in to space, trade Rozier to Charlotte out going 9 bills, 18 bills incoming for Charlotte.

We would have to waive Horford rights to do this. This is the fall back if the sky 3 way doesn’t materialize.

I have convinced myself it works lol.

The way I see it, Celtics removed the Cancer (Kyrie), upgraded him with Kemba Walker. Kyrie might be better than him but not by a large margin. But Kemba is IT on GH and Steroids + Insulin and IGF1 and Trenbolone. We also kept Brown, JT and hopefully smart too. Losing Horford sucks but we save money plus Al really does not go well with out tameline and he will continue to regress maybe play that Vince Carter role. He should go to a contending team while he is almost out of his prime. He deserves a ring and was a class act and will really be missed if he leaves. Him and Big Papi def. are Boston at heart. Hayward is too. Hope the young bucks buy it too and buckle up for another crazy season.

Celtics are fine. I’m happy we didnt sign AD and kept Kyrie. Kyrie was never a Celtic at heart and only played for “obligations”. We need the souls of Rondo, KG, Pierce, Perkins, Leon Powe and that entire team including the Ray Allen. He was the UBUNTU and these new Celtics need to understand Celtics hustle and that bleed green mentality is what wins championships. Yes talent wins championships but hard work beats talent when talent refuses to work hard. KD will be out for a year or maybe less but Nets are not a thread and Kyrie will lose every game versus Boston. Put your bets on that. He will also at least miss one game due to lack of sleep as he watched too many Illuminati clips on YouTube. I cant wait for pre season, good health and another opportunity for guys to bond and prove the doubters wrong.

UBUNTU 2019/20

Ten million for Stephen A is a hell of a bargain. Nobody has ever committed to a bit more than him.

Butler leaving opens up a spot for Horford, doesn't it?

I will just assume that no news is good news since they're trying to bring Al back and get that full MLE for Favors.
