Rumors and Discussion Thread (NYK and NBA) V - Elfrid Payton Sucks

[robillionaire]

looking like payton rivers burks randle and noel for opening night

Is RJ bench???

Yes. They clearly rushed him in year 1 like Knox

Yep. Need to dial him back to 15-20 mins a game.

Now they can include Dennis or frank for Kuzma

If they hadn't signed Payton and traded Randle this would be fine, we'd have a new guy to hate, but nah, now we have to hate new guys and old ones too, it's too much

CAA and I guess that means Burks will start.

Roster:
PG: Frank Ntilikina - Elfrid Payton - Dennis Smith - Jared Harper (2-way)
SG: Alec Burks - Austin Rivers - Immanuel Quickley
SF: RJ Barrett - Kevin Knox - Reggie Bullock - Theo Pinson (2-way)
PF: Julius Randle - Obi Toppin- Ignas Brazdeikis
C: Mitchell Robinson - Nerlens Noel - Ed Davis

Hello lottery pick!

They can be pesky when Randle isn't playing. Butttt... I project 25 wins maximum.

Should be good enough to get us the 5th pick in the draft

That's a max though. There are less games this year too so it could easily be around 19 or 20 wins. If I asked you over under 30 wins what would you take?

I dont even wanna hear about signings anymore... only trades at this point

It's either Westbrook or Kuzma

or both

I agree with Kuzma, as if they trade Randle out, they are short a PF.

If Toppin ends up being good, A+ off-season

Toppin is a pretty sure thing is works hard and is committed. Has everything you want except defense which can be taught

Is he our new starting PG?

He's honestly the closest thing we have now.

lol there’s no way you believe that.

[Chanel Bomber]

If you're gonna sign bums, don't sign bums who play like they believe they're gonna make the HOF.

At least Rivers is a competitor and plays hard but damn.

Under. The egos alone will ensure that.

i hate austin rivers, have always hated trade talk involving him, and yet, i don't hate this signing all things considered (largely because tom thibodeau is our coach)

[K_ick_God]

I like Rivers but this feels like real second rate stuff.

[Jay10]

Way to bury that young combo guard you went through 9 draft trade machinations to get!

Thibodeau doesn't play rookies.

[louisorr]

At this point veterans coming in playing for their next contract doesn't faze me, since our youth are basically veterans playing for their next contract.

Agreed, this is the worst part of the offseason for me. Worse than keeping Randle or signing Payton.

Is Austin Rivers CAA?
