Utah has plenty of time to try to get those two back on the same page. Ingles seems to think it will be fine and Utah is not gonna bail on Gobert like this until it's for certain that having these two on the same team leads to losing games. We're a long ways from that.

I'd offer Hayward and Theis for Gobert.

Kemba/Smart/Brown/Tatum/Gobert........oh boy.

I see why you would. Defensive potential would be off the charts with that starting 5 without losing much on offense really. From Utah's standpoint, I think they'd have a difficult time trying to convince Gordon to stick around this time to make that trade worth it and not to mention with Theis coming up a year later, in a year's time Utah could end up with nothing to speak of from a trade like that. I can't imagine why they'd consider that. They'd probably counter with asking for Jaylen.

Those news are pure bullsh*t from my point of view. No actual games means media needs to stirr drama all around to continue to get any kind of views.

On the other hand, if it's true, what a pair of bitches if they are having problems in their relationship just because Gobert gave it to Mitchel. I know his act with the microphones was unlucky, but there's not even a way to determine it wasn't Mitchell who gave it to Rudy.

That's right. Completely forgot Hayward would be a FA soon. And you're right - they would probably counter by asking for Brown.

I'm obviously biased, but I'd rather pay Hayward his worth than whatever that abomination of a salary is.

That'd be a hell of a contract.
He's eligible for that Extension in summer 2020, for contract start in 2021.

I’m salivating thinking about that.

If Gobert is on the block I would add pretty much whatever’s left of our treasure chest of picks to that package to sweeten the deal, heck give them Romeo too.

That lineup would steamroll the entire league.

This is why he may be available regardless of any relationship with Mitchell, also why if you trade for him he’s most likely a rental unless you wanna pay those numbers.

No chance I’d pay him that. Shame he didn’t have 2 years left

I really want to welcome Ray Allen back, but listening to him on Cedric Maxwell's podcast....good grief.

Benedict Ray, Can Kiss my . . . Jump in the F'ing . . . and Walk off a Damn Cliff.
He just doesn't get it; and Never will.

Granted, he was mad at Celtics Managment, for all the years of Trade-Talks.
But, he walked out on the Fans, and on his Teammates, to the Enemy at that . . . without a word.

That's his level of Integrity. = So Be It.
Hasta-La-Bye-Bye.

Ray got offered more money than Miami did AND a no-trade clause and he still left.

This guy is the epitome of a whiny b*tch.

Enjoy retirement and stop complaining to the media about how Boston “did you wrong”, because it’s a load of crap and you’re not helping your image around these parts one bit....

Highly recommend this book by Ethan Strauss about the rise and fall of the Warriors, with a huge chapter in the middle on KD.

There is some pretty "shocking" stuff in here that peels the lid off the league, and how stars have changed in recent years. I am a pretty cynical person, but if this stuff is even mostly true, we really are morons for living and dying by the actions of these dudes.
