People still use the Players' Tribune to announce when they're leaving their current team? :lol:

Celtics went to the playoffs with kids (Tatum, Brown, Terry, etc). Their vets were guys like Al (Kawhi better than him obviously).

Celtics also have an incredible coach. Knicks, not so much.

Yea one season can tell everything right I guess spolestra and dwade are idiots who don't know basketball.

He's a good shot blocker. One day he will be, but right now he's not strong enough to hold down the middle. He gets moved around way too easy.

who's the center on the clippers roster right now?

Harrell or Zubac (RFA)

harrell is a PF (he's 6'8)

and zubac? come on :lol:

God I hate that whole organization. Can’t wait to see them back in the gutter where they belong.

Everyone should spam that to KD's twitter account. I'm sure him and his burners will get all of it, and hopefully not resign with GS

Didn’t seem too incredible this past year. How we know he’s not a fluke coach? And how we know Fitz was coaching to win this past season? How soon we forget, he had the Grizzlies focused but don’t take my word for data.

KD gets the first statue then Kawhi since we know who would of been the driving force

The 2 things Fiz is better at than Stevens is losing the locker room, and having sub 20 win seasons.

I like their coach a lot..but pump the breaks on incredible after last season. Clearly he couldn’t handle that locker room and “incredible” coaches can still get headcases to buy in or make stacked teams play together, etc. Honestly, if you put Fiz on the celtics pre-Kyrie, I don’t think the outcome is very different than what you had... Fiz seems as if he can handle the real big times players egos though

Stevens for sure didn’t lose the locker room. Kyrie, Rozier, Tatum & Horford can vouch.

We aren't going to be a contender till the second year so nope, no need to worry about moving anybody yet.

Harrell is a starting center on a decent team at the very least. He's beloved in LA.

But what matters is KD's perception of him

If KD doesn't think he's a good player, it doesn't matter if he is or not

KD played the Clips 10 times last year. That core took 2 games off the Warriors. I don't think he's gonna rate us as high as them based on Mitch and potential

the core of beverly and gallo aren't there...gallo avg 20 pts a game in that series if he thinks it was just an SGA, williams, and harrell core he can't be that narrow minded

I'm just saying

You can't look at teams as fans or neutral spectators and assume KD's gonna see it the same way

I like how Sark said "sub 20 win season". That was perfect to mask what Boston won under Stevens his first season. :rofl:

basically

sga is a rookie. shamet is a 2 year player. zubac is a 3 year player. harrell is a 4 year player. and these young kids are so good that 3 of them have already been traded.
