warriors look great this year. Rockets look like the worst team in the NBA.

Gary Payton II has been a great find for warriors...can't believe he hasn't stuck on a team for a while. Dude is a menace on the court.

This is how those first few college games of his looked. He looked like the truth... and then the lies happened. A whole lot of lies.

Cole's post game interviews are the best man so lit

I was #TeamLamelo from day -1 but actually wanted to draft Cole since they started in same tier but Cole was mocked so low

The hate for Cole Anthony was ridiculous here. Note that looks really stupid. Denying that level of talent is just ridiculous. We should’ve traded up for him.

Ben Simmons for Jaylen Brown sounds like robbery for philly

The Boston Celtics have engaged in conversations with the 76ers revolving around Simmons and expressed interest in the 6-foot-11 guard, sources tell The Athletic. Talks have been fluid with no traction as of yet, those sources say. Any potential Simmons deal with the Celtics would have to include All-Star forward Jaylen Brown, an ascending talent who is in the midst of another career season, averaging 25.6 points, 6.1 rebounds and 2.5 assists.

If we want an upgrade at guard, the time may be now. Sexton (especially today), Fox, Fultz, Huerter and even Lillard never seemed more available.

While San Antonio may be holding grudges against NY, their talent pool at guard is awesome and they have a real logjam between Dejounte Murray, Derrick White, Lonnie Walker, Vassell, Keldon Johnson, Bryn Forbes …

We’re thin at SG and could use top level talent at PG from teams who may change directions.

I wouldn’t trade much for him and certainly not Brown. We should in fact be looking into acquiring Brown if Boston is really listening to offers. Simmons is trash.

I’d offer anybody, even Randle or (!) RJ for him.

I'd be tempted to trade for Simmons if all the douchebag-ness didn't come with him. He's pretty hard to root for tbh.

even if he was professional and rootable I would still pass on him. imo, I think his contract is one of the worse in the league. and it’s mainly because of his lack of scoring ability. i don’t think you can win if you’re playing 4 on 5. the only team that might work for him is probably the Nets since they have KD and Harden. we don’t even have talent like that

Yeah but I think Simmons and Tatum could actually work. If I’m the Celtics I’ll ask for Milton + picks

Agreed. I was mainly enticed from a defensive standpoint as an upgrade over Kemba, but you're right. Would you do a Randle+filler for Fox if the opportunity came up?
