Miami, Brooklyn and Milwaukee are contenders


Boston and Toronto are the teams that will probably take a step back in the East

Love Tatum, nothing not to love, but not gifted enough to ever be KD.

What is very cruel here is if we had gotten KD and Kyrie, we would have been so bad last year that we would have probably gotten a Top 4 pick. As opposed to having signed guys that led us to meaningless wins against other tanking teams.

We would also have seen guys like RJ and Mitch really get their exposure instead of having been subjected to journeymen vets who were only after their own.

Oh well enough of that for me. It’s Christmas.

He was never coming here and was going to follow Kyrie and then Mills played it off like he never wanted him anyway.

Perfect example of building up your young core through the draft, staying cap flexible then signing the missing pieces

Butler turns into Kawhi in the playoffs and probably has a shot of cancelling out KD.

The key is getting Kyrie to self destruct in the playoffs similar to how Bud and the Bucks were able to exploit his defensive shortcomings. If anyone can do that I think Spo can.
